Manufacturers Of artificial ice aver
that it is cheaper than natural, be.
cause it lasts longer. Natural ice,
they say, is never perfectly solid; it
is bound to have larger or smaller
amount Of air bubbles. Artificial Ice
has no bubbles, It is perfectly solid,
except for what the iceman calls "ths
feather" fine, fluffy plume in the
center Of each block; this is not bub-
bles, but simply the formation one
finds when ice freezes from the bot
tom, the top and the sides, leaving
the center the last portion to con.
geal. A recent test made between ar
tificial and natural ice was shown in
a large market, when two rsh boxes
o. exactly the same capacity, receiV-
ing exactly the same treatment, stand
ing in the same temperature, were
each filled with sixteen hundred
pounds of ice. The artificial Ice, so
the store man says, lasted eleven
weeks; the natural ice had melted
at the end Of four weeks.-Good

No Use For Doctors.

Major James A. Macklin, who is In
charge of the local United States re-
cruiting station; is not a firm believer
in doctors. He has an idea that he
knows what he needs better than
physician, so he usually does his own
doctoring. A few years ago the major
was stationed with his regiment IN
Arizona and ordered to take a large
detachment of men on a 2OO-m1le
march. The evening before he left on
this long march the colonel of the regl-
ment came to him in an apologize way
and remarked, I'm sorry, Mackln,
but I haven't got doctor to send with
you" "Oh, don't let that bother you,
colonel" remarked the major cheer
fully. "t'm really glad you haven't
got one to spare. He'd be in the way.
Give me an ambulance and that's all
I'll ask" The ambulance was ready
next morning when the troops left.
WED only been out an hour" said
Macklin, in telling the story, "when'a
young soldier came to me with the
complaint that he had some stomach
trouble. I chucked him into the ambu-
lance, prescribed remedy Of my own

Socnoe Eishino In Florida.

In sponging two men work together
in skiff. One skulls. The other
leans over the side, and buries his
head in a wooden bucket with a glass
bottom. Through this glass he can
see every fish, every bit Of coral or
sea feather and every sheel or sponge
upon the bottom. His glance sweeps
indifferently past shark, ray or pompa-
no, past single fish or fish in schools,
past big fish seeking a dinner and
little fish seeking to escape making
one. It hesitates at every growth
upon the bottom, and rests for a mo-
ment upon every form of sponge
which 1t encounters. When a sponge
of commercial value comes within
range Of the sponger's vision his free
hand reaches behind him for the
thirty foot pole with it's sponge hook
which hes across the gunwales. The
motion of the boat is checked by the
sculler, the hook is lowered to the
roots OF the sponge which is then
torn from the bottom. -.

WHY EPuePTlcs TRAVEL.
A Mechanical Performance Entirely Be-
yond the Control OF the Patient.


Dr.. w. P. Spratling. in explaining
the tendency of the epileptic to travel,
states his belief that the act is not per-
formed in obedience to desire Of the
apileptic, but is a phenomenon show
ing disturbed condition Of the brain,
and is a merely mechanical perform
ance, entirely beyond the control of the
patient. In certain peculiar phases OF
epilepsy the patient when first seized
will break into violent run, and some
times travel two or three miles as fast
rs he can go, and then perhaps fall ex-
hausted at the end. On the other hand.
IN epileDtc may have the sensory half
of the brain effected and slight dis
turbance Of the motor half. This may
cause the patient to travel days and
weeks without being fully conscious
of what he is about. Finally he will
awaken to his full senses with COM
plete loss of knowledge of what has
transpired in the meantime, because
his sensory apparatus has been glut-
ted. In opposition to many medical
authors who hold that in cases Of cpl
lepsy during a convulsive attack con-
sciousness is lost, DR.. Spratling claims
that consciousness may be disturbed,
but probably about sixty per cent. do
not lose consciousness. completely. IL
Illustrating the matter; he states that
the brain is divided into two halves
the motor half and the sensory half.
The sensory half includes the mind,
the motor half includes the control OF
the muscular and moving action of the
body. The brain receives a stimula'
ton, perhaps, through some part OF
the sensory apparatus, and this stlmu-
lation in turn sets in motion the motor
half of the body, or perhaps the motor
half is directly irritated in the first
instance. In whatever way the 1rrl''
tation is applied. the motor half is
sooner or later involved and set in mo.
ton A person may suffer an epi'
leptic seizure. which abolishes the sem
sorry half of the brain at once, and then
Immediately involves the motor half OF
the brain. The involvement may at
tack first that part Of the brain that
controls motion, the use Of the legs,
arms. ETC.. and when it does it is apt
to set these parts of the body into v1o-
lent activity. Hence the irresponsible
activity of many epileptics.

Building New York,s Great Cathedral.

The Cathedral of St. John the Divine,
which is in course of construction on
Morningside Heights, New York City,
is making gradual progress towards
completion. One of the most difficult
problems the contractors have to deal
with has been the moving Of the i'm"
mense pillars for the interior of the
cathedral up the hill on which the build
ing stands. The pillars are in four
sections, weighing from forty to ninety
tons each. AS it was found that at
least thirty horses would be required
to move them, it was decided to use
steam. With the aid Of steel cable
and a traction engine huge truck
bearing the columns was hauled to the
top Of the hill. Several days were
required to move each section. =.

Bird Song on fhe wing.

"The songs Of all birds gain in beau

says Henry Oldys in Lippincott's Mag
,azine. ''1.hey seem to be delivered with
more abandon and greater volume. The
water-thrush's first cousin, the oven
bird, furnishes a striking example Of
this. His ordinary song consists of a
repetition of the same note hammered
out with constant crescendo. Very
effective it is, too, as a part Of the
general music of the forest, though
lacking individual attractiveness on
account Of the menotony Of its reiter-
ations But when The bird rises above
Tie treetops and descends afterSthe
fashion Of the indigo bird to an accom-
paniment of, scattered notes, he takes
far higher rank as performer. Not
always, however, does he require the
exhilaration and inspiration of an

don his plain chant for more forid

reversing this order. love to see the
oyen-bird on the ground. There is such
a ludicrous assumption of dignity on
his part as, he strides about the stage.
never for q moment forgetting himself
so far as to hop. There is the same
even. measured steadiness about his
movements that there is in his chant.
It is only when he launches himself
into the effervescing song that he for
