BOSTON HARBOR FROZE.
But That Didn't Keep the Britannia
From Sailing on Time.

But That Didn't Keep the Britannia
From Sailing on Time.
Boston harbor froze over in January
Of 1874, and the advertised sailing of
the Britannia, then in dock, seemed
surely to be impossible. But the mer-
chants of Boston would not have it so.
They met and voted to cut a way, at
their own expense, through the ice,
that the steamer might sail practically
on time. The contract for cutting the
necessary channels was given to mer-
chants engaged, like Frederick Tudor,
in the export of ice, not from the
harbor. Their task was to cut, within
the space of three days, channel
about ten miles long. For tools they
had the best machinery used in cutting
fresh water ice, and horsepower was
employed. The ice was from six to
twelve inches in thickness. AS the Ad-
vertiser of Feb. 2, 1914, described the
scene: "a great many persons have
been attracted to our wharfs to wit
ness the operations and the curious
spectacle of the whole harbor frozen
over, ana tne Ice mas Deen covered
by skaters, sleds and even sleighs.
Tents and booths were erected upon the
ice, and some parts of the harbor bore
the appearance of Russian holiday
scene" On Feb. the work was done,
and the Britannia, steaming slowly
through the lane Of open water, lined
on either side by thousands of cheering
spectators, made her way to the sea-

A few days after Brandon's departure,
Mary. with the King consent. organized
a small party to go over to Windsor for
a few weeks during the warm weather
There were ten or twelve of us. in

CITY OF HI FUTURE.

A Denver View Of It's Principal
Features.
Gigantic cities of the future there
will be, but they will resemble Denver
more than New York, says the Denver
Post. The development Of electric
transportation will make the great city
a chain Of cities, built in the slightly
and pleasant places, with plenty Of
air and space. In the experimental
electric road between Zossen and Ma
rienfelde. near Berlin. which has dem
onstrated a feasible speed of more
than two miles a minute, is told the
story of the city Of the future.
At a speed of 1870 % miles an hour
the hundred ton car was as comforta-
bly, tense and smooth in it's fight as
the glide of the mile a minute Ameri-
can express trains. 1t Is said that the
terrific pressure of the air around the
coach holds it in an embrace as the
water holds a ship.
The demonstration at Berlin points
to the abolition of the grade crossing,
the creation Of great highways with
absolutely protected high speed road
beds and the running Of express trains
from the business centers without
stop to the various residence districts.
1t will be unnecessary to build on
rough and unsightly ground. The earn
ers Of modest wages will not be crowd
ed into flats and tenements, but live
in cottages. The tree, the vine, the
flower will have a great revival. The
great cost Of land for homes will not
be a factor to crowd and stunt and
make misery.

London, Dec. 2S.-The Daily Nails
Kobe correspondent asserts that the
Japanese army authorities have re-

publishing news concerning the move

says it regards this as a practical CEN

newspapers express concern over the
movement Of foreign warships toward
the far East, and particularly over the
statement that United States marines
have ordered to Korea, fearing some
unforeseen incident may p%recipitate
events.
On the other hand it is believed that
the efforts of the powers may still be
