A Boston inventor claims 10
have perfected a process by which
ice may pc manufactured in an or
dinary refrigerator. He has exhib-
tied his invention to a gathering of
capitalists. In the room was a re-
fngeraior. There was a stove, and
the temperature was y degrees
Fahrenheit. In the locked and
sealed depart ment OF the ice-chest
was a small tin-ease filed with the
"mixtura." There was no ice in
the chest. The temperature OF the
rest of the chest was 25 degrees.
All was clean and dry. A gentle
man placed a tumble Of partly
melted ice in the chest. and in fif-
teen minutes It was frozen solid.
The inventor claims by his process
TO be able to produce cold from
any degree down 10 zero. The an
nual cost 10 an ordinary household
would be about 81.

According to the way in which this
arrangement is now carried out, the
first land that the new day dawns upon
is Easter island, about go miles west
of the coast of Chilli, South America.
That is to say, the I'd of July breaks
here within few hours of the lst, hav-
ing broken on the American coast to
the east, and the two days run on
alongside-the I'd in Easter Island and
places west, the LIST in all places on the
American continent. We may, there
fore, realize this idea-that at 1920
o'clock any morning of our lives in
Great Britain the next dayi commence
ing in the void. and is TO be found at
this little island in the Pacific ocean,
whence in due course it will travel
round to us.
But to have thus tho start OF the
world is not an unmitigated advantage
TO these islanders. suppose one OF
them sails east to America, what is the
result? He will find that they keep
the day there under a different date,
and he will have to reckon one day in
his calendar twice over to put himself
right with their notions.
On the other hand. if an American
crosses from east to w est this wonder
full magic line where the day begins,
he will find the dates in this fresh part
of the world arc one in advance of him,
and he must needs strike a day out OF
his calendar TO keep up with the times.
The fact was curioIsly illustrated in
the case of Magellan, the Portuguese
captain, who sailed around tho world
from east to west in 1922, and having
crossed the magic line OF days birth"
in his wanderings, his calender be-
came, of course day in arrear. The
sailors were completely ignorant OF
this, and finding, on landing at home,
that their Sabbath was falling on a
Monday, they accused one another OF
tlmpering with the reckoning. 1t was
not for some time that the true and
simply explanation OF the wonderful
loss of time was discovered. Cham

HANKS LITTLE SCHEME.

Sugar Back Into Captivity,

BruIn FoolishIy Follows a Trail Of
Sugar Back Into Captivity.
The proprietor OF the Steamboat Ho-
tel, Port Richmond. some time ago Sc
cured as an attraction a one-year-old
black bear, a raccoon and four foxes,
says the indianapolis News. The bear,
which is chained in a side room, is very
frisky and affords great deal OF amuse-
ment TO the frequenters OF the place.
During the temporary absence OF the
proprietor recently several village
urchins got inside and tormented the
bear until he broke his fastcnings and
made dash for his tormentors. The
boys ran from the room and shut the
door just in time TO prevent his bear
ship from getting vengeance on them.
Left TO himself, Mr.. Bruin raised havoc
with the scanty furniture in the room.
He demolished the cages in which the
raccoon ana foxes were imprisoned and
dived out of one OF the windows, car
rying sash and all with him. The 9TH
er animals followed. When the pro-
prietor returned ana learned what had
happened he was mad. The bear in the
meantime had found shady spot un-
derneath tree, along the sidewalk,
whence he was taking bear's-eye view
Of the situation. At length old Hank
Smith was sent for. When Hank
arrived, the first thing he did was to go
into the hotel and take a drink. Then
he came out and sized up the bear, and
went back and had another drink.
During all this time he had not opened
his mouth to say a word on the situa-
ton. The spectators gathered around
him, and the landlord hold up his hands
beseechingly. Then Smith said: "Git
ten pounds OF that ar brown sugar"
The sugar was brought and Hank
| took the bag and went as near the bear
as he considered safe, and opened the
bag and spread some on the ground.
He made trail OF sugar reaching from
there into small hogshead which he
spied in the yard. Then he ordered
the crowd to stand back. Presently the
bear shifted the air and soon found the

tho excitement of restoring the active
young man. tho provisions, for which
no had risked his life, were forgotten,
until someone discovered the escort in
ono corner of tho car cutting great
slices of the ham with his jack knife.
lie was Immediately requested TO desist,
and was escorted out on the platform OF
the car by two or three strong men.
A few moments after he was seen 10
crawl out of snow bank.
Somehow or other the little school
marin seemed 10 get near the active
young man and those standing around
were surprised to see that they knew
each other, and as the little school
marin seemed able TO take care OF him
the other people gradually gathered at
the other end of the car and left them
alone, casting knowing looks in their
direction every once in a while. A
short time afterward the little school
marin told a lady whose acquaintance
she had formed, that she and the young
man had been lovers, and had quar-
relied and that the escort had come be-
tween them. she thinking that he was
nice young man, but now she saw
his true character, and that all had
been made up between the active young
man and herself. and everybody voted
that this was as it should be.
Someone CHANGED to look out OF the
window and discovered that the storm
was over, and just then in the distance
was heard the shrill, clear whistle Of a
locomotive. Help was coming. Jim
tried to blow an answering blast on the
whistle of old Seventy-three, but steam
was low and the whistle frozen fast.
In few moments, with much putting
and whistling, three powerful engines
forced their way through the drifts.
Then there was shouting and hurrah-
ing. Five hundred men soon cleared
the snow from the bound train and the
passengers, with light hearts, were
again on their journey.
When the train drew up at the sta
ton, the baggage-master tapped the
escort on the shoulder, and said, Here
is box that came for your store" and
handed them the broken cracker box.
The escort looked at the box until the
truth dawned upon him, and then with
something that sounded very like a cuss
word, flung the empty box in a snow
drift and walked rapidly away, with
the laughter of his companions OF the
train ringing in his ears.

closes next June, there is to be wed

The Salt Lake Tribune relates on tho
authority of good latter-day saint
that Brigham Young used TO send over
to the city hall when he was short to see
how much money there was in the
treasury, chat the Same might be loaned
to the Lord. The relater told how one
day the Beehive house messenger
came into the hall with tho exclama-
ton: well, boys, how much cash is
there to-day in the treasury" ABOUT
