An Anglo-Norse Society has been formed 
in Christiania with Professor Nansen as its 
first president. The object of the new organi¬ 
zation is to promote mutual understanding in 
all fields of intellectual lines through the 
interchange of lecturers. Many prominent 
Englishmen have already accepted the invita¬ 
tion of the society to come to Christiania and 
lecture. Among them are Lord Robert Cecily 
Mr. William Archer, and Professor Gilbert 
Murray. 
In the matter of orders, too, the people of 
Iceland have been desirous of emphasizing 
their own and their country’s independence of 
Denmark. The new Icelandic Order of 
Knighthood has been called the falcon order, 
because it substitutes the Icelandic falcon for 
the monogram of Christian V, which occupies 
the center of the cross in the Danish Order 
of Knighthood. In the links of the chain 
the falcon appears again, alternating with 
the monogram and crown of the founder, 
Christian X. The simple and beautiful de¬ 
sign has been drawn by Professor Hans 
Tegner, while the workmanship in gold and 
enamel has been entrusted to the court jew¬ 
eller, Carl Michelson of Copenhagen.
