A Small Country But a Big Buyer No country is the world buys more per head of population, in foreign countries, than Iceland. So people who think that Iceland is nothing more than a skating -rink by nature, we learn from the London Daily Telegraph, will be surprised to know that it is the best customer ex- porters have in other countries. What is more, says Howard Little, in tilis London newspaper, although Iceland is compelled to make relatively enor- mous purchases, the annual credit balance stands high, and shows a tendency to increase, idi'. Little con- tinues: "Iceland., has modernized herself rapidly, in splte of difficulties, na- tural and imposed. Neither iron, tim- ber, building stone, cement, coal, nor salt are produced within her own borders. Ali these essentials must be brought oversea, and possibly hauled many miles into the interior over hard ground, where there is at pre- sent no road. "rn 1889, .when I first visited Ice- 1and, the capital, Reykjavik„ was a town of some three thousand inhabit- ants, and boasted neither harbor nor roads. Nothing went on wheels. To- day Reykjavik has a fine harbor, the consh'uctien of which was actually commenced in 1913, inter'r'upted by the war, end; because of the necessity of continued enlargement, is in part not yet completed. The inhabitants of the town number 26,000, and there are some 600 motor-vehlcles,. all of which are Rept particularly busy. The main roads have a good surface, and other roads within and leading from the capital are also being improved."

River, .which, with its . lakes, rapids and famous Niagara Falls, connected by ingeni- ous artificial - waterways, offers a route for shipping right to the very heart of the. Continent. Por two days and -nights the ship passes between the narrowing shores' of the river, whose banks become more and more thickly strewn with villages. Each has a -church with high slender steepilo; and there are vast marshes alive with Ouch, and is- lands with queer little liaystaeks. There are ,forests too, now that we are away from the seaboard, In the evening of the second day a fountain'I of. lights announces Quebec—an old grey stone city more self•eontained, more rich in memories and steeped in, tradition than any other on.. the North American Continent. After Quebec, another day of the river, with the landscape more mark- edly flat: to the north lies a chain of high ground, and elsewhere two, or perhaps three, hits rising from the Plains, arresting and conspicuous in their loneliness. Beneath one of the hills stands lliontreal, a city as large' and populous as Birmingham. Montreal has some AR the antiquity' of Quebec; combined with the mo- dernity of Toronto. It has the sedate stability Of the one, the youthful vigor and enterprise sof the other. It has thrown two linesman bridges over the St. Lawrence, and is proud also in the possession of two tower - like skyscrappers, one of them pos- sessing within its wall every amenity, even to a perfectly equiped hospital, that is desirable in a small English town.

I say- the first stage because the Dominion of Can- ada divides itself into thre markedly different seotions—front the Atlantic to Winnipeg, from Winnipeg to the Reales, from the Roelties to the Pa- cifis. On this first stage there are forests of conifers -not mighty giants but timber usually .about twenty feet high. .There is grey rock and innum- orable twietiug lakes.

The str'eete are a babel of every Etm'opean language, and shops appear to . sell everything, and nothing in particular. The smaller prairie cities, and "there are many, have the same characteris- tics: Calgary, Regina, Edmonton, Sat - :lateen. Edmonton is seventyflve years, old, Saskatoon twenty-five. Both have universities, trams, large stores, hotels, and so forth. In see. eral,of them a river with banks sixty or seventy feet high offers a more varied .landscape. The fork or !lend of a rived determined the site of a city in the dominion as elsewhere. A strange feature of those prairie towus le the very marked and abrupt fas- hion in_ which city and prairie meet. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that it possible to step from front door to Inutile. Mile upon 'mile the wheat stretches. Grain elevators tower up, store- houses of the harvest, by wayside stations. Such trees as exist are small and stunted;. the whiter is too bard and hitter and long for then to flourish. There is no haze on the dis- tant istant landscape; the sky is crystal clear. If the for -d, lake and rock country seemed .monotonous, the prairie seen from the trail is of un- utterable, deadly sameness. How- ever, the travelers say that tomor- row we shall see the Rockies. And, indeed their first appearance is start- ling. The prairie begins to take on a new character—that of undulating dawns, uncultivated but with some solitary fir trees. The train follows a river bed, and the line, hitherto so straight across the prairie, begins to curve, till suddenly in the west, through the moving mist as though floating in air, towers peak after peak, a mighty Wal which stretches alorth and south as tar as the eye can see. Into the heart of this wall, fol- lowing the water, the train strikes, until the vast ridges of the spine of the continent rear up on either side. The rock forms are fantastic, and the firs which grow in the valleyclimb up until there Is no earth left. At in- tervals the stream broadens out into little lakes, eo stili that they mirror. the peaks as clearly as any glass. The valley narrows, and a Balt marks the Great Divide. The water now falls west to the Pacific, and there is a sharp drop by means 02 spiral tun- nels. From now onwards the train follows fleet one valley 0111 then an- other. The curves are so violent and make such hairpin bends that the engine driver and guard could almost shake hands as the long train turns and loops ,about itself.

The 'valleys lie between mould tains whose slopes Have much riches vegetation than that which clothes the slopes of the Rockies; and now, for 'the first time, the trees attain con- siderabie size and are much more varied.. The. air Is .softer:- The grass is green (the last green grass eve saw was two thousandmiles away oil some golf links) and beside a wooden farmhouse is a herd of Alderney cows, The river widens and flows more sluggishly: it is strewn with the myriad logs which encumber every Canadian waterway. The val- ley broadens, too, and in an hour or so the line, after passing along the shore of what appears to be a Swiss lake, runs between the .ramshackle habitations which betray the vicinity of a city. .- We are in Vancouver. Above the platform tower the masts of great ships boundfor the islands of the Pacific—for China and Japan and for Australia—and above them again tower tate cloudy mountain tops of British Columbia. There is a magnificently situated unive.'iity, a remarkably equipiled technical school, which daring my visit was busy preparing in its own charming theatre a performance of Shakespeare's 'Henry V.', the custom- ary ustomary patatial hotels and vast stores and factories.
