May 25-A great deal of Arctic ice was
sighted at Belle Isle during the past win
ter and spring The last steamer passed out
of the strait Nov. 20, but the local ice was

COST A SMALL FORTUNE.
Dinner for Thirty for which "a
Young Man Paid $4,000.
From Good Housekeeping.

From Good Housekeeping.
The most striking decorations have
ever seen upon a dining table were shown
to a very few persons before the repast
and after everything was in place. 1t
was at a famous New York restaurant,
one which is noted the world over There
a young man with purse longer than his
pedigree gave the entertainment to a re-
stricted number of the 400. thirtyin num-
ber if rightly remembered.
For the occasion there was an immense
oval table with a large central tank in
the similitude of lakelet. Bordering this
sheet of clear water stood, as If naturally
growing, water plants with graceful,
dropping leaves, lilies and iris. These
were made to give an artistic fringe but
not enough to shut out view of the lake
let. For swimming in It was a full grown
swan with proudly arching neck and defi-
ant eye, king of the pent up waters.
From the edge of the lake to the outer
circumference of the large oval, i'm
badded in moss and looking as If they had
always grown there were potted plants in
blossom, decreasing in hight as they APP
preached the edge. Heavy with frag
rance stood hyacinths and traied rose
sprays, while the outer circle consisted
entirely of Violets. These ended in half
circles leaving just room for the plates of
the guests. Thus the entire space was
covered with a lake and encOmpassing
moss and blossoms.
From the edge of the lake rose slender
vine and rose-colored columns, terminal
ing perhaps a dozen feet above in a kind
of Turkish kiosh Of a light and graceful
shape Here were Gagged canaries, sing
ing enough to split their little throats. The
tout ensemble exceeded description or
even imagination.
How much conversation could be en-
joyed about that immense banquet table,
with the frightened swan in front, the
-F.-T-
fragrance of the flowers about all, can be
readily estimated. Altogether it killed
the royal bird. Whether the guests sur
vived deponent knoweth not With utili-
tartan regard to cost, 1t must be added
that the expenses Of this one dinner were
between $4,000 and $4,000. Happily for the
good sense of the people, such a lump of
money is seldom expended SO foohshly.

Shot Fired Fifteen Miles.

From twelve to thirteen miles is the
computed range Of the most powerful
guns now made, but the longest distance
that shot has been fred is few yards
over fifteen miles, which was the range
of Krupp's 13O-ton steel gun, firing q
shot weighing 1900 pounds. The Ill
ton Armstrong gun also has an extreme
range Of fourteen miles, firing a shot
weighing 1900 pounds and requiring
$50 pounds Of powder; but quick-f firing
guns are more depended upon at the
present day than guns with such ex-
trsme length OF range. OF quick-fring
guns the most wonderful iS, perhaps, the
Maxim, which can fire as many as 600
shots a minute, and yet is 90 light that
q soldier can carry it strapped on his
back. Krupp's l3O-ton gun and Arm
Btrong's Hilton proved too expensive,
being unable to stand firing 100 times,
and their manufacture has practically
been abandoned. The gun most favored,
perhaps, is the twenty-two-ton Arm
strong, which hurls q solid shot for a
distance Of twelve miles.-LOndOa
