All these movements of the ice-the

generally accompanied by certain
sounds. which are called voices" of
the ice.
Now we hear low singing, splash
inG or grumbling alternating with va
r,ous other noises, cracking and snap
ping; now 1t sounds irregularly from a
great distance, like confusion of hui

Watch him show his teeth IN laughter

is up to all kinds of pranks and does
all kinds of little things to indicate the

as his master does, and seems to take

Novel Car Rail.

England has a new rail for street
cars which is attracting much atten-
tion and differs in some marked re-
spects from the rail now in use. It's
principal part is shaped like a trough
turned upside down, and is provided
with suitable depression. over
which the fianges of the wheels are
to pass. The trough rests on a suit
able foundation, and the street on
each side Is raised so that 1t may be
on a level with and fit as closely as
possible to the sides of the trough.
The rails are laid on the track in the
ordinary fashion, but are connected
together in a manner somewhat diff
ferent. Experts claim that rails or
this type will last at least 20 years,
and that no street in which they are
laid is ever injured by them in the
least,

What Makes A Town.

Citizens sometimes wonder what re-
tards the progress Of their town. The
answer would necessarially include a
combination of causes.
A town to be up to date must have
progressive business men. Men who
unitedly will push every enterprise
that tends to benefit. 1t should also
have population determined to pat
ronize every enterprise existing at
home. Buy nothing away from home
that you can purchase at home or
through home merchants. Sell moth
ing away from home for which there
is market at home. Be interested in
each and every home enterprise and
give it your support and good will.
Don't neglect your duty because
there is some business man you don't
like:penonally. Ifthe town.is needing
an enterprise to supply your wants,
let your wants be known and assist in
creating demand for the enterprise.
Don't slander the town because you
are not satisfied with present condition.
Dissatisfaction often leads 10 improve
ment if proper judgement and effort
are employed.
