wonder, sometimes tragedy; but our letter
from ST. Johns \. F., tells of an ice-break COM
pared with which all others that have been
reported this side OF the arctic circle are con-
temptible, while the loss Of life may still prove
as great as has ever been occasiOned by any
disaster near the pole. Two hundred men

OF ice that had drtfted down from the far
north and had been temporarily anchored in.

fields breaking up and working out toward
the broad Atlantic. When a man on shore
loses his pathway In a wilderness he is In
terror, although he has solid ground to
tread, and two good feet to help him: what
then, must have been the agony of the New
fOundlanderS who found the pathway itself

Hat Experts.

Nature prints the letter of a correspondent
who was struck with some remarkable eXhiDi-
lions OF memory that he found in the hotels OF
this country. In some OF them, he says. many
hundreds OF persons dine simultaneously in the
same room. Before entering the guests leave
their hats with servant standing at the ell
trance for the purpose OF receiving them. The
servant does not check the hats or arrange
them In any particular order, and yet he
promptly hands each to the owner as he re
turns from the dining The most remark
able case noticed by the writer was at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel in this city. There the attend
ant, he writes. sometimes has as many as $40
hats In his charge at one time Most of them
belong TO persons whom he has never before
seen. The owners go In and out In crowds.
But without moments hesitation the servant
returns each one his own hat. He explains his
ability to do this by saying that he forms
mental picture OF the owners face inside his
hat, and that On looking at any hat the weareg's
face is instantly brought before his minds eye
There was person who did remarkable things
OF this kind at the Metropolitan Hotel, in this
CITY, years ago. He was very genteel and in
telligent- looking colored man of middle age,
who stood In the broad hall or entrance. near
the dining-room door. He was the wonder

same time thrusting at him their hats, many Of
which were designedly new and as nearly alike
as possible: But whether the conspirators came
from the dining room together as they went in,
or In smaller groups, or singly, the ready and
SELF possessed master OF the hats promptly,
courteOusly and unerringly, handed each one
to its owner, whose face he now saw for the
second time. These were undoubtedly unusual
feats OF memery, but not necessarily feats of
remarkable memory. They are more the result
OF training than the exercise of extraordinary
natural pOWerS.-N. Y. Times.
