rare plants and flowers.

themselves. It is not difficult mat
ter to thus make ice in cold climates,
but no successful scheme was devised
for separating it into cakes and lay
ers. 1t was in solid blocks of the size
of the houses, and there was no GER
tainty that it was frozen solid IL of
any magnitude.
The new method referred to above
consists of freezing water by natural
cold into successive layers, which can
be easily cut up and handled. It's sue
cess has been demonstrated in Chicago
by the freezing of a houseful of ice
during the past winter at merely
nominal cost. The ice thus formed is
clear and pure as the water from
which it is made, and the cost Is much
less than that of ice cut from ponds
or streams and hauled to storage. The
rights to use the invention for a large
territory have been secured by local
men, who will establish plants all over
the territory.

New Way of Making Ice.

From the Champaign Gazette.
A method of making ice which en-

size desired with perfectly pure ice at
a merely nominal cost has been In
vented ano patents all filed.
1t is SO simple and the cost so small
that it seems probable that the method
will prove extremely popular. Numer-

inventors to utilize natural cold and

GREEK FIREMAN
TRIED A SHORT CUT
With the Result That He Nearly
Drowned and Was Severely
Injured.

John Marcus, a Greek fireman en-
ployed on the Inter-Island steamer
Mauna Loa, which is tied up at the
Inter-Island wharf, thought life too
short to go by roundabout ways and
took a short cut from the stern of the
vessel to the wharf twelve feet away,
with the result that he now lies at the
Queens Hospital in a precarious con-
dition.
Marcus stood on the after deck of
the Mauna Loa and made up his mind
TO go ashore. To do this in the right
way he should have gone forward about
thirty feet and journeyed to the wharf
by means of the gang plank, but he
was too tired. A sailor saw him pre-
pairing to jump and demonstrated but
Marcus only said: What you take
me for? Think me no jump to wharf?
I show you" The Greek showed every
body. He made the jump, landed on
the edge of the wharf, but, losing his
foothold, fell back into the water be-
tween the steamers hull and the wharf
and nearly drowned. The sailor and
some carpenters who were working on
the vessel fshed him out. He was sent
to the hospital where it was found that
the injuries he had received were seri-

KOREA SHOULD BE
HERE THIS WEEK
Yet There is Uncertainty as to
When the New Steamer
Will Arrive.

The agents for the Pacific MailSteam-
ship Company expect the new mail
liner Korea to arrive on Friday or Sat
urday. 1t has been considered some
what uncertain as to whether the YES
sci would arrive this week or not ow-
ing to the trouble with the government
because of the Chinese crew brought to
San Francisco for the Korea on the
steamer Gaelic. But it is considered
here that great deal depended on the
sailing of the steamer on August 30th
as she had already been delayed for
four days and if the schedule was to
be kept up at all she would have to
leave San Francisco ON that date, and
for this reason everything possible
would be done on the Coast to get her
away on time
1t is not known here who the passen-
gers of the Korea are to be as no list
Of bookings for the vessels maiden

1t is known however that her passen-

vessel win have any trouble in reach
ing that wharf as she draws consider

make use of that wharf at present al
ways churn the mud up to such. an
extent that most tourists imagine that
they are steaming right over one of

circles which illustrates well the char

was on Albatross, he spent sometime
with that vessel at San Francisco. The
vessel had to get fresh water there and
the captain found that sort of monop-
oily had control of the narbor business

to pay the exhorbitant bill of the five
