HEADQUARTERS FOR ICE.
Norway the Source of Supply for
Most of Europe.

Few perhaps among the tourists
who visit Norway for the pleasures
OF its scenery are aware that here
they are at the headquarters of Eu-
ropes ice supply. To the mountain
lakes of that country the continent
looks for its ice The ice is OF the
finest quality, for the lakes are OF
crystal-clear water high up in the
mountains, and are surrounded by very
tall pines. The ice supply is controller
by snyndicates, says Youths Compan-
ion
After having been cut into great
squares by plows the blocks OF ice
are sent down the mountain side on
slides. On the way they acquire amaz-
ing velocity and plunge into an IN
closed pond, beyond which are the ice
ships awaiting their frozen cargo.
II sometimes happens that through
delay in the starting of the vessels
or the cutting of unusual quantities
from the lakes 10 supply exceptional
demands, the supply runs short. Iheh
ii is that ice becomes dear, and even
in winter time is luxury that must
be INDUCED in sparingly. But Ice Is
used in Europe far less commonly thah
in America, and deficient supply does
not occasion the sense of loss that II
would in this country.

THEY HAVE A SOLID sTINCH
The Scotch University Makes 1t
Easy for the Poor Student.

Grier Hibben. in June Scribners A
characteristic feature Of the cottish
university which is worthy of special
mention is that it has always afforded
an opportunity to poor students of OBJ
tanning an education. There has al
ways existed in the universities fine
spirit which has regarded with honor
the struggles of students who are en-
deavoring to support themselves. And
these students have so priced an educa-
ton as to lead lives of strenuous self-de-
NAL, with their eyes determinedly set
upon the far-off goal. Barrie has re-
ferred to it feelingly in Sentimental
Tommy" And now, We drums that We
all carry in our breasts beat your best
over the bravest sight ever seen in
small Scotch town Of an autumn morn
ing, the departure OF its fighting lads
for the lists at Aberdeen. Let the tune
be the sweet. familiar one you found
somewhere in the Bible long ago:
The mothers we leave behind US
leave behind us on their knees. May it
dirl through your bones, brave boys to
the end, as you hope not to be damned.
Many students from their Highland
homes have appeared at the beginning
of the academic year with a bag of oat-
meal, and a barrel of potatoes, repre-
senting the sole store of life and en-
ergy for months to come. So common
was this practice that holiday in the
middle year was appointed known as
'Mealie Monday in order to give the
students an opportunity of returning
home to replenish their larder. This
day is still observed as holiday. In
his "reminiscences of Edinburgh, Robert
Chambers tells the story OF his early
experiences at the university-how
friend, his brother, and himself had
lived together, and each had brought to
the common store bag OF the oatmeal.
The three bags hung from ono OF the
rafters Of their room. and the landlady
would scrupulously take handful OF
the meal from each bag. in order TO
mix the morning porridge according TO
a strictly equitable principle of distribu-
ton. 1t must be remembered also that
in many homes whence the son SCI

that they may live in n university town

bic manner 1t is by no means an iso-
lated case, that story of the father who

most. The forward, boisterous, pert
ones are rejected at once. Only the
very best, most obedient, clever and in
telligent are chosen, for, after all,
there are not many vacancies, there be-
ing only about 200 children on the
stage throughout the country. They
range through all ages from 3 to Is
years.
The children are given no instruction

may be selected to appear almost as
soon as the agent has them in charge.
their age, appearance, complexion or
figure being just what is needed by the
manager OF some theater who Is about
to produce new play. The agent sim
ply teaches them their lines, and then
allows them to interpret the part as
they feel it.
The little ones seldom make up"
that is, alter the looks of their faces by
paints, as do the full-fedged actors and
actresses. Sometimes their eyebrows
are darkened by pencil, but that is
about the only change ever made in
their appearance.
very small number of these little
player folk grow up to become lifelong
members of the theatrical profession.
They gradually drop out of the stage
ranks, for, as they grow older they are
given parts more and more difficult,
and few Of them can stand the increas-
ing call upon their intelligence and
Imagination. The sons and daughters
of professional theatrical people are
the most liable to remain in the pro-
fession, but there are very few OF these
who choose the stage as a setting for
their life work. Their parents place
them in some other profession or bust
ness When the little Thespian reaches
the age of 16 years he or she arrives at
critical point in the career. From
then on serious and very hard work

one at once. and the life before the

any of the player folk. Private rooms,

snatch a piece of the meat with the

made a grab at Mr.. Fox, but did not

magnificent building is now nearing
completion. which is intended to con-
tain the great geological and other col
lections of the prince. The foundation
stone was laid on April %, 1899. by the
emperor OF Germany. An idea of the
size of the structure may be had from
the fact that the frontage has a length
of S2S feet While the greater part OF
the exhibits will relate to the biological
sciences, there will be considerable
space given to the illustration OF APP

One day as Mr. Fox was walking
down the road, wondering where he

returning from market with large
basketful of fresh, juicy steaks and
chops. Mr. Fox's mouth watered, and
he could hardly keep from jumping di-

A VICIOUS
MEASURE
Wire
Bill ard Its
Effects.
DRIVE COMPANIES
OUT OF BUSINESS
Local Corporations Could Not
Stand Cost of Compliance
With Such a Law.

The bin requiring the electric light
and telephone companies 10 put their
wires underground would, if it became
a law. compel such companies to go
out of business.
A representative of the Advertiser
called upon an official OF one OF the
companies yesterday and asked for
statement of his views concerning the
bill. The reply was that he did not
could find out the bill was based on
personal spite and prejudice. Another
officer said the bill had exempted the
Rapid Transit Company from putting
its wires underground, and he thought
the bill was rather one-sided.
He said the question had arisen in
his mind as to whether the intention OF
the bill was to beautify the city, or TO
serve the purposes of other corpora
tions. The Original bill, he said, called
as it now stands states that anybody
can supply lights.
The proposition set forth in that bill
covered a mileage of streets of ap-
proximately fifteen miles. The present
distribution of the system in Honolulu
WOulu require cOIQIllS " DS COISlIuCA-
ed of from two TO twelve ducts in each,
taking in every foot of the fifteen
miles. The cost of these ducts would
be from eight to ten cents per run
ming foot. All the present wiring would
would have to be condemned, and a
special lead-covered cable put IN. Man
holes would have to be built at the In
tersection of all streets, and special
maD-holes built wherever break is
made. Special underground transform
ers would necessarily have to be in
stalled, together with complete sets of
secondaries. Each surface connection
from these underground cables to a
place of business or residence would
cost from $50 to SIS. 1t can readily
be seen without going into the details
of figures that such an installation
would cost us over $500, 600, and posi-
bly, $500, 600 You will also see by a
statement made by the Hawaiian Elec-
trio Company to the government for
that corporation in the entire city was
less than $4,000. The interest on the
necessary underground equipment
would be quite inadequate on the ba-
sis of $780, 900 to pay any part OF the
enormous cost of installation.
THE territory covered by this bill
here is quite as great as that covered
by the underground system in San
Francisco. which has a population of
more than 100000. The population OF
the eIectric-using district of Honolulu
is probably not in excess of 10000. In
/ San Francisco they spent S1,500.0 900 in
/ recent installations of underground
/ systems.
ITO install underground systems
here, would be to simply drive us out
