Tlicy Wnnt Telegraphic Connection
With the World.
From the Independent.
But not only are the Icelanders stead
ily Increasing In material wealth, they
seem also to be making the best use of
their enlarged opportunities. As there
are no great capitalists In Iceland the
government. Is compelled to take the
Initiative In many enterprises that In
other countries might better bo left to
private Individuals. Thus a large ap
propriation has been made this session
for subsidizing steamship communica
tion with Denmark and along tho coast.
When these arrangements are com
pleted It will be possible for the tour
ist to reach Iceland much more read
ily than is tho case now. A contract
has been made with a Danish com
pany by which sixteen trips n year will
be made between Reykjavik and Cop
enhagen and six trips along the coast.
Even more Important for tho future
development of Iceland la the proposed
plan for telegraphic communication
with the Shetland Islands over the
Faroe Islands. A large appropriation
for this purpose was unanimously
passed by the althlng, and the Danish
government hns signified Its intention
to give the measure substantial aid.
While no final arrangements with either
of the companies that bid for the con
tract have been made, there Is no rea
son to doubt that the plan will bo suc
cessfully carried through, A natural
extension of the Idea would be a north
Atlantic coblo between America and
Europe, with Iceland as a stopping
place. One direct practical nnd scien
tific result of the present scheme would
bo to add Immensely to our meteoro
logical resources by furnishing dally

Of Immense Importance for the health
ot Iceland is tho new arrangement of

tho new arrangement tho Island will bo

Medical books aro not always Inter
esting' reading, especially to people en
joying good health, but ns a matter ot
fact scarcely ono person in ten Is per
fectly healthy, and even with such,
sooner or later sickness must come.
It is also a well established truth that
nine-tenths of all diseases originate
with a breaking down of the digestion,
a weak stomnch, weakens nnd impov
erishes tho system, making it ensy for
disease to gain a foothold.
Nobody need fenr consumption, kid
ney disease, liver trouble or a weak
henrt nnd nervous system ns long ns
the digestion Is good nnd the stomach
able to assimilate plenty of wholesome
food.
Stomach weakness shows Itself in a
score of ways nnd this little book de
scribes the symptoms nnd causes nnd
points the wny to n cure so simple that
anyone can understand nnd apply.
Thousands havo some form ot stom
ach trouble and do not know It. Thfcy
ascribe the headaches, the lnnquor.ner
vousness, insomnia, palpitation, const!
pntlon nnd similar symptoms to some
other cnuse thnn tho true one. Get
your digestion on the right track and
the heurt trouble, lung trouble, liver
disease or nervous debility will rapidly
disappear.
This little book treats entirely on the
cnuse and removnl of indigestion nnd
Its nccompnnylng nnnoyanccs.
It describes the symptoms of Acid
Dyspepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow
Dyspepsia, Amylaceous Dyspepsia, Ca
tarrh of Stomach and all affections of
the digestive organs In plain language
easily understood and the cause re
moved. It gives valuable suggestions ns to
diet, nnd contains a table giving length
of time required to digest various ar
ticles of food, something every person
with wenlt digestion should know.

No .Substitute Invented Eqnnl to tho
Production ol the Right Whale. ,
From the Pall Mall Gazette.
Is whalebone less valuable todny
than it was seven yenrs ago? The
question suggests itself by reason of the
lower prices obtained nt the recent,
snles held In Dundee, where a ton
whalebone, part of the catch of the
whaler Active last year In the Artie
regions, has been disposed of to a for
eign firm for 1,800. At the previous
sales, held In the earlier part of 1895,
"baleen," to giyo whalebone Its other
name, realized 2,000 a ton, but since
then. It Is said, the market has been
considerably depressed. The reason for
this It Is dlfllcult to sny, especially as
the whaling season Inst year proved a
disastrous failure, tho vessel referred
to above being the only one to secure
a cntch. The rise In the price of whale
bone during the past thirty years has
undoubtedly been very marked, and
some consumers are of opinion that it
has been carried too fnr. Between 1S67
and 1S77 whnlebone was worth no more
than 400 a ton but from thnt time up
to the present values have been rapidly
rising, and in 1890 a sale wns readily
effected at 1,950 n ton. Of course
whalebone Is now only used in the?
mnnufneture of corsets or dresses ot
the very best description, ibut it Is gen
erally admitted thnt no substitute has
yet been Invented which Is equal to tho
productions of tho "right" whale. Good
whalebone defies imltlatlon as
much
today as It did In the old times.
