One Of the district school trustees
was a crank on the subject of fire. and
when he called around with the exam
lining board he always confined his re-
marks to q question addressed to the
pupils as to what they would do in case
the building should catch fire.
The teacher was acquainted with his
hobby, SO she prompted her scholars as
to the answer they should give when he
arose to PROFOUND his accustomed in
Quiry.
When the board called, however, this
particular trustee. perhaps from . de-
sire to emulate his associates in their
addresses, rose and said:
You boys and girls have paid such
nice attention to MIR. Jones' remarks, I
wonder what you would do il I were to
make you little speech!'

unison:

Artificial Ice Making.

Notwithstanding that artificial 10.
frigeration has 30 largely taken the
place Of ice, it is often desirable, even
in small plants, to make some ice for
table and other purposes. In hotels
and restaurants this is particularly true,
and nothing but the poor results that
have been obtained in the past has pre-.
vented this from being done more extern.
sively.
The old method was to put common
filtered hydrant water into cans and
freeze it into white, unattractive ice.
useful only for cooling purposes, and
hardly suitable for the table. Distilling
and purifying apparatus is found neces.
sary to make acceptable ice by this proc
ess, and the manifold duties of the op.
Grating engineer usually prevent the
giving Of proper care and attention tc
the various purifying devices, with the
result that the quality Of the product il
quite inferior.
There is now developed, however, q
practical method of making ice in large
or small quantities on the "plate sys.
tenn" freezing outwardly from the re-
frigerating coils, excluding impurities
into the residual water, circulating thii
water by means Of a circulating pump
through filters to remove air and i'm
purities, giving clean, pure crystal lex
from water of almost any reasonably
good quality. The ice is then harvested
BY steam cutter, which pushes it,
square nose down in the tank and cut
of a slab Of ice whenever required. A
tank Of this character, added to re-
frigerating plant, is most useful and
profitable adjunct, especially consider
ing that the high quality Of the product
is chiefly q function Of the method
rather than the skill Of operation.-W.

MAJ Muller's Father.

Ny father belonged to the post Goethe

died in 1927, and yet in that short life
he established lasting reputation not
only rs q scholar, but as q most popu-
lar poet. His best known poems are the
''Griechenlieder," the Greek songs
which he wrote during the Greek war
Of independence. These Greek songs, in
which his love Of the ancient Greeks il
mingled with his admiration for heroes
such a. Kanaris, Marcos Bozzaris and
others who helped to shake Oh the
Turkish yoke, produced q deep impress
sion all over Germany. perhaps because
they breathed the spirit Of freedom and
patriotism, which was then systematic
ally depressed in Germany itself. The
Greeks never forgot the services render

MUSCULAR MONARCHS.
Rulers Who Have Been Famous for
Their Physical Strength.

| It is astonishing what large num-
Der of kings and other rulers have been
famous for their physical strength. The
late car of Russia and the late German
emperor were both remarkable for their
strength of body. The latter, in fact.
thought sufficiently well of his powers
&c oppose himself to a professional
strong man, who wrestled with and de-
feated the monarch with difficulty.
Augustus H., elector of Saxony, was
man of immense strength. He once
seized monk who had concealed him
self in the royal sleeping apartment by
the waist and flung him out of the win
dow into the courtyard beneath.
Maurice, count of Saxony, natural
son of the above elector, was as noted
as his father for his feats of strength.
l. needs no small amount of strength
in the fingers to enable one to twist
long, thick nail into spiral. This
Maurice did and afterward used IL as a
corkscrew to open bottles of wine at a
luncheon AT another time, while stop
ping at farrier's to have his horses at
tended to, he broke half dozen of the
mans horseshoes by the strength OF his
hands like SO many biscuits. That
Maurice was equally strong in other
parts of his body is shown by the fol-
lowing:
While travelling on foot in London he
had an alteration with a dustman.
The dispute developed into a quarrel,
which the count terminated by selling
his adversary by the head and throwing
him over his shoulder into the mud
cart, which was standing near.
1t is related of Dom Pedro T., emperor
of Brazil, that while out sailing in
small boat he suddenly seized hold OF
the two magnifcently dressed chamber
lains who accompanied him, lifted them
out of the boat, one on each side, and
ducked them in the sea. This was not |
done out of malice, but because il was |
carnival time and practical joking was |
the order of the day.
Scanderberg. king of Albania, was a |
giant in strength. From an early age |
he was in the habit of competing in |
feats of strength and skill with the |
Turkish MOBILES and was almost ALWAYS
victorious. He once in At Of rage cut |
in two with one stroke % his sword two
enemies who were brought 70 him
