An Ice Charity.

In some Of the large cities this sum-
mer benevolent individuals have organ
lied and conducted charity as helpful
as it is unique. It consists of contribut-
ing funds to supply the very poor of the
tenement house districts with free ice.
At convenient points in the most thickly
settled and wretched Of the tenement re-
gions blocks Of ice are deposited, while
skilled workmen saw the blocks up and
distribute them among the needy who
call for them.
The charity has been especially valu.
able in saving the lives Of infants. In
the hottest days it is impossible to keep
milk sweet or food fresh more than q
few hours without ice, and the puny
babes are too often literally starved. Te
the ice gratuitously bestowed this sum
mer grown people Of the twentieth cen
tury will owe the fact that they are hv
ing, happy men and women, with fai1
chance to fight and win, instead of dy
ing in infancy and having their starved
little. bodies turn to dust In paupe
graves.
Superintendence of the ice distribution
is intrusted sometimes to district chari
ties, again to the city physicians author
lied to attend the poor free OF charge, Or
ders for the ice are obtained from these
This distribution Of free ice among tn
needy may be the coolest charity eve
devised, but it is also one Of the mos

Renlaimtna sand Wastea. =.

II Is probable that the next century
win witness all except the bleakest,
stor,niest parts Of the Atlantic coast
covered with grass and vegetation to the
waters edge. What can b done in this
direction is apparent at the seaside hotels.
An area covered by barren heaps Of
drifting sand is selected as the site of
seashore resort. Nothing could be more
unpromising than this sand. SO far as
producing any beauty Of vegetation is
concerned, yet in very few years grass.
flower plots, vines and trees cover the
leveled off sand heaps, and picturesque
grounds that are a thing Of beauty sur
round the hotel.
As the country is more closely settled,
it will be necessary to convert sand
wastes into vegetable gardens and wood
lands. France has already shown the
world how this can be accomplished.
On the northwest French coast villages
were formerly swallowed by drifting
sands, driven by fierce winds. More
and more Of the country became COW
cred with these, till it seemed as if the
whole coast for several miles inland
would be necessarily abandoned to the
sand dunes. Six hundred miles Of coast
line were thus rendered barren. Then
the government took measures to stop
the desolation. Piles Of wooden tim
bers and brush were laid along the coast
in line. The sand drifted into these
and was caught, in time making sea
wall and covering the brush. Then
other timbers and branches were laid
upon the first ones, and again the sands
blew over and among them and made a
fixed wall, higher yet. The timbers
were laid about 300 feet from the waters
edge.
In time q line Of mound reaching along
the whole coast was found. It sloped
toward the sea gently, but more steeply
toward the land side. Beach grass and
plants that would grow in sand were
sown upon the slopes. Immediately be-
hind the wall forest trees were planted,
and in time the vegetation became us
firmly fixed as any in France, and the set
tiers were no longer swallowed up by
sand. This began in 1857. The whole
northwest coast is now covered with a
fine growth Of valuable forest trees.

there on the route. These way packages
are the prey Of the train ,robber, and it is
their safety that must he provided for. E.
B. Pope, western passenger agent of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway, has simple
device that seems to solve the problem. His
idea is to equip every safe with two locks
which interlock with each other, and which
he calls "lock No. l" and flock No. O." and
to paint on the outside of the safe the fol-
lowing:
NOTICE.-In case of assault by robbers
throw the combination of lock No.2. This safe
can then be opened ONLY by the agent at the
terminal station.
Lock No. can be either an ordinary key
lock or combination lock. It is connect
ed with lock No.. 2 by small steel bar
which works in and out of the combination
of lock No. 2 as the messenger locks and
unlocks No. l, the tunblers in lock No. 2
when in their normal position being always
set at "opcn" and held in that position by
simple mechanism to prevent the jar of
the train or all accidental knock. from
throwing them cut Of position and locking

does not know the combination of lock No.
2, and if he once throws off the combina-
tion of lock No. Q 1t is utterly impossible
for him to unlock and open the safe, and
the painted notics on the door will appriss
the train robbers Of the fact.
The number OF men who are skilled
enough to blow open a safe quickly are
very few, and of that few the number who
would care to combine train robbing with
safe blowing are fewer still, and the bust
ness having thus been made unproftable
Tor regular practitioners it is probable they
would abandon it and seek sene other field
of operations.
The likelihood Of their killing the mes

Hero Is an Invention That VIII Interfere
With Their Hnsiness.
The dcathknell uf s,,other American in
dustry has been sounded, and sounded by y.
simple invention that has little Of original
ity aboas i. save tho purpose OF its applica
tion. The industry is train robbing, and
the invention is q new safe lock that Is ex-
pected to make the industry Improbable
in the future and thus compel it's devotees
to give It up.
The fact Is that rs matters now stand
there is no business that fferx astuick and
sure returns for the capital, labor and in
telligence invested as train robbing Each
robbery bears y marked family resem blance
to its predecessor, and the details OF each
are so we'll known that even the rankest
amateur at the business cannot go far
wrong, so simple is the process. One man
can do the job, but it perhaps Is much bet
ter to have two or three, says the st. Louis
Democrat.

robber, Sam Wilson, in single handed and
alone holding up the Missouri Pacific ex,
press while the whole train crew of not less
than 10 men not only did nothing to inter
ferc'with him, but actually assisted in load
ing the plunder on his back, while the gov.
ernor of the state, the state treasurer and a
very fierce and warlike detective sought the
seclusion that q sleeper grants, was an OBJ

Many elaborate schemes have been de

as iron walled cars, steel turrets for the
messenger to retire into when the alarm is
given, carrying number Of armed guards
on the train, ETC., but none Of them
feasible. Armed guards and all such ex-
pedients will afford only temporary relief.
The only sure way to at once and forever
stop train robbing is to render it unprofitr

The history of q large irrigating cana

The history Of q large iFrigating canal
that supplies the fruit colony at River
side, CAL. shows how very small crea-
ture can sometimes defeat the work of
hundreds Of grown men. The canal is
% miles long and was built 10 years
ago. Some years since 1t was discovered
that the supply Of water was rapidly di-
minishing from some unknown cause.
Investigation showed that mischievous
little gophers were burrowing holes in
the canal and were ruiaiaqg IT. There
was nothing to be done bnt to line the
banks and the bottom OF the ditch with
cement through its whole length, and
this work had to be postponed till the
rainy season was on, SO the canal would
NOT be needed for irrigating purposes.
After the gophers were shut out it was
found that the canal conveyed twice as
much water as 1t did betore. tho animals
having wasted one-half.
