Samuel B. Rice Passes Away.

Dir. Samuel B. Rice was born Nov.
10, 1917, in Richland county, Ohio,
where he spent the early part of his
life on farm after which he spent
some time in a store. At an early
age he graduated from Oberlln COL
lege after which he commenced the
study of medicine under Drs. Lam
bert e. Register. In 1889 he COM
menced the practice Of medicine at
Bluerock. In 1913 he entered into
partnership with j d. Register and
practiced till 1855 when he quit the
profession and went to farming. In
December of 1912 he was married to
Rebecca A. Downing of Bluerock,
Ohio, to this union was born seven
children, three girls and four boys.
He resided at Bluerock till 1855
when he with his family moved to
Warren county, Illiuois, and from
there to farm near Monroe, Iowa,
in the spring of 1868, where he lived
till the spring of 1870 when he moved
to farm in Jasper county, Iowa,
and from there to Polk county in
1877, then to Audubon county in
1882, residing on farm two and one
half miles northeast of Ross, where
he remained till 1888, when he COM
menced work in the store of his SON.
n-law, j. f. Luse, at Ross, Iowa,
remaining there until old ago called
halt. He has been in feeble health
for several years, and Oh May p, 1899
after an illness of only five days, he
was summoned to meet his Maker and
give an account of the deeds done il
body.
1t is dark on only the downward side;
Though rage the tempest loud,
And scatter its terrors far and wide,
There's light upon the cloud.
And often when it traileth low,
Shutting the landscape out,
And only the chilly east winds blow
From the foggy seas of doubt,
Therell come time near the setting sun,
When the joys of life seem few,
A rift will break in the evening dim,
And the golden light stream through.
And the soul a glorious bridge shall make
Out of the golden bars,
And all its priceless treasures take,
Where shines the eternal stars.

CHEAP WAY OF MAKING ICE.
Man Fills His Icehouse at the Cost of

Man Fills His Icehouse at the Cost of
Cents Ton.
An interesting and novel process of
producing ice by natural methods has
been put in operation in this town by
resident. A year ago he had build
ing specially constructed for his use.
The experiment house is unique. 1t
las no windows, but is four square,
With a door in each side. The owner
says he can make ice faster in a
.Ouse with doors at the corners rather
han in the middle of the sides; still
his one does the business. Inside the
lau5e is what might be termed another
acuse-a crate-water-tight, and built
% as to avoid ligidity of angles, and
p allow of the expansion of the wa
er in freezing. The expansion is one
welfth, so the space to be left between
the sides of the crate and of the house
proper is easily determined. In the
early days of experiments more than
one house was smashed by the bullying
cropensities Of freezing water.
At one end of the house is stand
pipe from the main of the Claremont
water works. The water is spring wa
ter, but an application is made of cleo
tricity to still further purify it as it
stands in tanks after being drawn from
the source of supply. 1t rushes first
through a rubber tube to a tank sixty
feet from the main and on the second
floor of the building. Another tube.
sixty feet long, takes it to second
tank. A third lets it run to floor of
the crate. AS it runs cut it moves
slowly and more slowly, like clear,
cold, crystalline molasses-still more
slowly-and stops, frozen. The ice
builds upon itself in the crate-forming
anchor ice, not top film, and the end
is crate of pure, solid ice of such
color as no one ever saw who has been
limited to ice cut from ordinary ponds
and rivers. The tubes are arranged
with respect to the openings in the
building SO as to get the maximum
amount of cold wind blowing on them.
One days experiment illustrates the
process Of freezing. The water in the
standpipe was at As degrees. 1t was
eighteen minutes passing through the
tubes, and its temperature as it issued
upon the floor of the crate was 80 de-
grees, or two degrees below freezing
and a total reduction of fifteen degrees
The out-of-door temperature was at
about freezing. If anyone visits the
experiment house today the owner will
show him a crate full of ice-one solid
block of about 300 tons weight. The
erection of houses of the type required
is easily accomplished anywhere, and
the ice can be manufactured at a cos,
of about five cants ton.-Boston Her,

STRANGE TACTICS OF LOON.
Its Dependence Upon the Wind to Assist
Its Fnight.

Its Dependence Upon the Wind to Assist
Its Fnight.
l have shot at looms a great many
consin, and on lake Superior, and
have never known them to attempt to
escape from danger unless there was
wind of which they could take adj
vantage in their attempts to rise, states
a contributor. l remember once, in
company with my brother, trying to
secure loon as a specimen for mount
ing. The bird was in lake about
three-fourths of mile long and about
200 yards wide in it's narrowest part.
My brother was secreted at one end OF
the lake, and | in canoe kept the
bird in motion, trying to get it within
range Of my brothers gun, and giving
it chance whenever a chance offered.
Although harried for two or three
hours it never once attempted to rise
| from the water. There was a slight
| breeze, if l mistake not, but not enough
| to be of any use in the looms attempt
to escape by flight. During the chase
the loon swan distance of 200 yards
or more under water, repeatedly, with
out appearing above the surface. Lake
Superior fishermen tell me they have
caught them in their nets at great
depths. Among those with whom !
! have talked on the subject 1t is be-
lieved that loon cannot rise from the
water without the aid Of wind blow
Ing directly opposite to the line OF
flight.

STRENGTH OF A GRIZZLY.

One Carried Dead Cow for Three
hunter tells some wonderful stories
about the strength of grizzly bears.
He saw one that had had one of its
forepaws shot useless, use the other to
draw its weight of LOO pounds up a
precipice, where it seemed as if the
feat were impossible. He tells also of
cows knocked over by a single blow
from the forepaw of a bear; but per-
haps the most surprising story is of an
occurrence that he witnessed three
summers ago. He says: 81 spent the
season in the coast mountains near
Hudson bay, and one moonlight night
l saw big grizzly bear in the act of
carrying dead COW home to her cub.
l had position on the mountainside,
from which l could see every move
ment of the bear in the sparsely tim
bered valley below She carried the
COW in her forepaws for at least three
miles, across jagged rocks ten feet
high, over fallen logs, around the rocky
mountainside, where even a jackass
could not get foothold, to a narrow
trail up the steep mountain. she
never stopped to rest moment, but
went straight on. 1 followed her. and
about half mile from her lair laid
her low. The COW weighed at least
200 pounds, and the bear about 45O."-

Mallards and black ducks, as we'll as
Canada geese, have been Matched I'M
der tame ducks, and have taken to the
barnyard habits of their foster mothers
without fear or distrust OF man; still
it is safe to pinion the first genera

that both the blue and green winged
teal may be as easily domesticated; but
the early domesticators of beasts and
birds looked entirely to utility, and so
the smaller wild fowl were neglected.
