Cruising for Icebergs.

The constant appearance of icebergs in
the track of Atlantic steamers, and the
imminent lisk which these wanderers
from the north occasion TO navigators
and passengers, again call forth the query
whether something cannot be done to
diminish the hazard of them, ii not to
destroy them outright. Commander
Mckay, of the steamship Parthia,'
suggests that it would be good plan to
detail q Government gunboat or two to
follow one or more of these icy monsters
to study THERE natural history after they
have entered upon THERE voyage. A
record of such observations, he SAYS,
gator, as it would help him TO estimate
the probable pr sitio, of an iceberg, so as
to avoid 1t after being told of its position
at some previous date. This would give
value to the now practically useless ships
reports, signaling, etc. Hesuggests, also,
that gunboats might profitably be de-
tailed to test the effects OF shot, shell,
dynamite, or torpedoes ON these ice
masses, and is disposed to think that
such treatment might very much hasten
the dissolution of the bergs.
For the benefit of readers who are not
navigators Commander Mckay adds
that neither the air nor the water tenn
perature gives the slightest help to the
navigator III indicating the neighborhood
of an iceberg except perhaps when there
is fresh breeze blowing directly over
it and in line with the ship, or when
there is change of water temperature
crossing its wake. But in the passages
to and from America it is usual to cross
their track on nearly right angle. Con-
sequently this last small factor as a
guide to its whereabouts is lost.--Scien-
fife american.

Sten0graphy in Old Times.

Stenography is on the eve of being SUI
perceded by the invention Of the piano
tachygraph. We may first remark that
modern nations are much behindhand in
the practice of stenography. David, in
fact, says in one of his psalms: Lin0ud
g,ea cataWus scribe UcJOciter ScribentiS
("My tongue is the pen of ready
writer'). The Hebrews, therefore, knew
the art of writing as rapidly as one could
speak. But it was at Athens and Rome
especially that stenography was prac-
ticed. Xenophone employed al abbre-
waited alphabet to write the speeches of
Socrates, whose works he edited. This
was 1913 years before Jesus Christ. The
Romans. who, with the spoils of Greece,
carried the arts and usages of the Greeks
into Italy, brought back that kind of
writing and vulgarized it among all
classes of the population. Under the
Consulate of Cicero may be seen the
first traces of stenography. The great
orator was himself very expert in the
art, and took pleasure III teaching it to
O freed slave named Tiron, who wrote
down his pleadings. Tiron acquired a
celebrity in the practice, and gave his
W tiS lllIblOt LILO
reports being called Tironian Notes.
Soon Geographic signs were alone
used in writing in Rome. Senecus,
Brutus, Julius Caesar, and many other
illustrious men employed it. One day
Cicero wrote from habit in Tironian
signs to his friend Atticus, who could
not understand the letter. The great
orator then offered to teach him steno-
graphy, and he learned it in very short
time Augustus gave lessons i'll steuo-
graphy to his grandsons. The old stem
ographic method was preserved in
France until the eleventh century, and
letters from Louis lie Debonnaire, son of
Charlemagne, in Tironian characters
still exist. In TAT Benedictine, named
Pierre Carpenter, reformed the Tiron-
ian alphabet and published in Latin n
volume on his new method. AT present
stenography, which is only practiced by
few writer's, has been modified and
improved; but it does not appear to be
shorter or more simple than that used In
antiquity. -Gaiignani.

The Stage.

Few things go hand in hand more
naturally or advantageously than labor
and amusement. The former achieves.
The latter rests the worker and prepares
him for renewed efforts. Theaters arc
educators. One from single play can
often get more knowledge of the world
than he would acquire outside Of theater
walls in month. On the stage every
phase OF life is seen, and chain of
events that in real life would require
months and even years to follow to n
termination is here enacted in few
hours. A good play is life concentrated
"A homeopathic preparation, IN fact, that
holds In small compass the very essence
of life. Thus it is that the various
motives that control human action are
seen at glance and can be studied at an
advantage obtainable in no other way.
Some of the keenest analyzers of the
mind, the most adroit reasoners and hui
name and successful legislators confess
their Indebtedness to the theater, and
acknowledge that, as an educator, 1t
should be classed with schools and news
papers. In connection with these
thoughts we wish to make mention of
McVicker's Theater, the theater par car
ceilcncc of Chicago. The veteran man
ager is q lifelong student of the theatre
cal business, and has been, and is,
one of the frmest supporters of the
legitimate drama, and not only compe-
tent and honored manager, hut pro-
gressive and highly.respected citizen.-

A CIScTNNATI paper relates this truly
remarkable story: In 1860 Prof. Crow
ley, of the Mount Auburn Female Col
lege, in Cincinnati, was assassinated on
the street at night while attempting to
defend lady friends who had been insult
ed by roughs. The men escaped, and
the murder has since remained mys-
terry. A man died in Nashville, few
days ago, who, on his death. bed, for the
first time told the story of the murder.
He says himself and two companions
met Crowley after the quarrel. One of
them stabbed Crowley, who placed his
hand on the wound and exclaimed {:
"My God F! am killed." and, turning
around three times, fell dead. This is
verified by the accounts published ut the
time, and is all that was known. The
dying man says he and his companions
escaped to the hills, hid away a day or
two, and skipped to New Orleans. On
the very night of their arrival there the
three, while passing an alley, were &C
costed 10y man precisely of the same
dress, size and appearance OF Crowley.
The man stabbed Crowley's murderer
in the same place as the former had been
wounded, and the man made the ex-
clamation, "My God I'm killed y
turned around three times and fell dead,
just as did Crowley. Another of the
party went West and met horrible
death, the third and last being the party
who died mt Nashville and told his story.

TIE Portsmouth On. H. Chronicle
mentions rooster that did something to
prove his right to crow. Mr.. Card,
of Fort Point, Newcastle, has large
flock of hens and many chickens, and a
rooster which weighs ten pounds and
two ounces, the master OF the coop and
the hens favorite. One morning this
feathered Mormon was placidly watching
his numerous family eat their breakfast,
when large rat darted out place of
concealment and snatched up chicken.
Before the plunderer could make his
escape he was seized by the rooster and
firmly held until thoroughly killed by
two old mother hens, which furiously
attacked him the moment he was caught
by their husband. None of the fowls
were hurt in the melee. After the rat
was killed the old rooster dropped him,
then walked several times around the
vanquished foe, sagaciously examining
him out of one eye all the while, and
finally mounted the body, clapped his
wings, gave three loud crows and walked
off to keep his wives out of mischief.

gallery stairs in an English theater,

a wooden bar across the stairs so that
the people, when the gas went out, were
seized with panic, tumbled over it, in
juring nearly twenty, one of whom died.
and several had to be taken to the hos
pital. What kind of an interior such a

THE Postofiice Department has issued
an interesting comparative statement,
showing the population of fifty of the
principal cities in the United States, the
number of letters mailed therein, and
the average number mailed by each in
habitant. From this table it appears
that the greatest average number mailed
by each person was in New Haven, CT,
the average being 1l6. The next great
est number per inhabitant was lob, at
Kansas City. The number mailed by
each inhabitant of Washington City was
a fraction more, b1t official letters ema-
mating from all the executive depart
ments are included in this table. Den
yer, Col, had an average to each person
of 90. The population of Chicago is
500, 1914, being the fourth city in rank in
the United States. The letters by tue
official count mailed in Chicago in 1850
numbered 80, 252, $50, an average num-

population of fifty live villages each con-

that the inhabitants of the State who re-

number 473, 500, or 20 per cent. of the
whole population Q,636,330 of the
State. This is larger proportion than
at any previous census, and shows the
increasing tendency of our people to set
