success and the manner in which he nc

New Way to Make Ice.

A modest chemist, living in Los An
geles, Cal, has discovered a salts which
may kill all existing methods Of supply
ing ice. A thimbleful Is hermetically
sealed in a nickel-silver receptacle
about three-edghths Of an inch In diam
eter and two inches long, which the
soldier may carry by the dozen In his
haversack. 1t weighs about as much
as a cartridge. Dropped into a canteen
Of water, it converts the contents into
ice in an incredibly short time. A
larger one will freeze a bucket Of San
tiago Tor any other water. and a still
larger a tub. AS the salts do not come
in contact with the water, the latter
remains unpolluted. A lawyer control

Afraid OF Mice.

I've seen women travelling with an

boxes. and goodness knows what else,
but never, till last Thursday evening,
did I see q woman whose impedimenta
included a mouse trap. She was an
elderly woman, and, l am quite sure,
she was not a marrying woman. She
was going to the Virginia mountains,
and she had the drawing room Of a
sleeping car. The porter was helping
her stow away her belongings.

had the ring of one accustomed to com.

"Expecting! she snapped. I've al

in the last eight years. don't propose
to be mutilated by the creatures while

And only think Of anybody, a mere

phuric acid. the resulting gas being used
to eItinguish the fire, says the Scientific
American. Fig. shows the tank pro-

having a nozzle Of any desired cOnstruc-
ton. The tank is provided with q screw
closure having circular wall covered
by screw cap. Secured to the lower
side Of the closure and projecting into
the tank Is a yoke. shown in detail in
Fig. 2. A glass bottle containing sui
phuric acid is held by this yoke so that
the cork presses against the cover.
within the cover a lever Is fulcrumed
and connected by means Of rod with a
lever having at its free end a hammer
like formation adapted to bear against
the bottom of the bottle. The latter
lever is fulcrumed on an arm carrying
1 pan. the perforated bottom Of which
lies just above the solution of sodium
bicarbonate.
When ii is desired to use the extin-
guisher, the screw-cap is removed, and
the lever pressed downwardly. This
operation causes the hammer to be fore
IDLY driven against the bottom Of the
bottle, thus breaking the glass and caus-
ing the sulphuric acid to fall upon the
pan, whereby the acid is sprayed into
the soda solution. The resulting gas is

THE WASP AS AN ENGINEER.

Bit of Insect CIeverness That Won
Praise from Army Mon.
Several members of the United State.
engineer corps were interested witness
es of feat Of insect engineering near
the road on which they were working.
One of their number found q blus
ground wasp dragging along the ground
a dead swamp spider one-Quarter the
size of a full-grown tarantula- Wheth
er the wasp killed the spider or found
It dead Is q question beyond solution.
He was having a hard time dragging
his prey along. and presently left it to
go prospecting for his abode. The dis
coverer of the wasp called his compan-
ions, and one Of them in coming stepped
upon the wasp's groundhole, crushing
down some blades of dried grass across
1t. This caused no little trouble to the
insect, who, upon locating the hole,
nipped away at the obstrucing stalks
with his strong mandibles until he had
cleared a passage. Then he went back
and sized up the spider, walking around
the big body and surveying it from all
Sides
Hes reckoning that the hole isn't
big enough" said one Of the engineers.
That's all right; he'll fix it." said
another, as the insect went back and
commenced vigorously widening the en-
trance to his domicne.
Again he returned to the spider,
seized it and dragged it to within foot
of the orifice. To the spectators 1t was
evident that more work would have to
be done before the spider could be
dragged ip. This struck the wasp, too
for again he ran around the body, ex-
amining It carefully, and returned to
the hole TO take measurements. He
went to digging a second time. Having
dug for two minutes he brought his
prey up to the edge Of the hole, nipped
out a piece of dirt here, cut away a
grass stem there, and after fifteen min
utss Of hard and skillful labor disap-
peared underground, dragging the
spider after him, doubtless to form the
piece de resistance in a winter store
house. The engineers then resumed
their work, exchanging comments Of
admiration

by Indians, under charge Of Rudecindo
Gonzales, a half-breed, known as
"Cachimbo."
The captain Of the Hedwig was not
allowed to 60 to the fort for assistance,
but was driven, together with his crew,
out of the vessel by force. They walk
ed to the town Of Sinamaica, a few
miles from Parjana, and hired a boat
to convey them to Maracaib0, where
they made their declaration before the
German consul.
The consul states that this is, to his
personal knowledge, the fourth case OF
piracy committed on large foreign sail
ing vessels close to Fort San Carlos.
None Of the vessels had a gun or rife on
board. Had the master Of the Hedwig
been provided with a signal gun or fire
arms, he could have easily kept his YES
