WHY PRICES WENT UP.
Some of the Curious Effects of tn.
Recent Boom in the Cost of Ice.


From Judge.

wherefore. ice has gone up" she said.
All, yes, so. Ice up from So to So a ton.

We found the following facts-approxi-

Then We discovered that a corner lot we
wanted had gone up 500. This stumped- US
until we learned the intimate connection
between this corner lot and ice. The lot

hours in a refrigerator, and contact with
ice had imbued him with the idea that
everything was going up.
But the most singular effect OF the ice
boom came out as follows: We asked for an
increase of salary and got the frosty race,

KING CORN THREATENED.

Now comes DR.. Wiley, OF the United
States department. OF agriculture, and
tells the farmers Of the United State:
what may well set them TO thinking
for he says under the conditions to be
found in most Of the lowlands of the
countries which stretch from the Uni
ted States 5000 miles southeastward
yuca yields from 10000 toj 10000
pounds of roots to the acre yearly, and
about one-fifth Of that may be made
into food fit for mankind. That should
give 5000 to 1900 pounds more than
the average crop OF corn furnishes.
But what is this yuea which is likely to
become so formidable rival of our king
corn!
Yet, strange as it may appear, this
rival to corn grows quite as well as
corn and gives a generous supply OF

from the tempering gulf stream as a
line through the middle of North Caro-
lima, of South Carolina and the Gulf
States. In all that region bordering
the warm waters, including all OF Flor
ida, yuca gives IA, to "a, thousand
pounds Of roots to the acre in the year,
and the -four or starch, with the otner
elements they carry, are not so far in
value from those in potatoes and the
grains commonly used as food.
In scores Of tropic lands, through
thousands of years, millions of people
have filed with yuca such places in the
economy of man as in colder countries
have been filed by grains and by tu-
bers; for yuca has given to summer
climes many million pounds eacn year
of food that was as good as wheat.
And yuca has long been giving to peo-
pie Of the lands of frost millions Of
pounds of nutriment that is pa1atable
to the most dainty appetite, that builds
up the puny babe, restores strength to
the invalid and sustains the superannu-
ated, and now gives us spirits to warm
them withal and tighten the burden Of
the day.
In the countries south of the United
States are 5,3lS million acres. If a
quarter of those acres should be made
to yield an average Of $3.50 pounds of
food nearly like our wheat -four, for
example, they would give very nearly
five millions of millions of pounds
That would be little more than
enough to each human being on earth

The dedication OF the new Madison
Square Presbyterian church. by Dr.
parkhurst this week, was, IA might
have ben expected from DR.. Parkhnrst.
ceremony somewhat unusual. The
occasion was made by DR.. Parkhurst in
a sense memorial OF the late Stanford
White, the architect who designed the
church building. and who was murdered
by Harry Thsw. in Madison Square
Garden, early last summer He said In
part. 1--WE cannot refrain from saying
how deeply we lament the absence OF
one to whose big heart and artistic In.
spiration the creation OF this cdiilce is
due, Stanford White has
impressed himself in deep lines upon
those of us with him in the work he
has been most closely associated. With
ali the responsible undertakings with
which he was charged. II was to this
church that he seemed particularly TO
dedicate himself and to make OF II the
idol of his thought and effort. The
present Is little less bright that he is
no longer with us TO share its fruition
and to contemplate the final outcome OF
his splendid genius."
An increase much greater than record
ed in previous years Is expected to be
shown by the census Of school children
in this city which viii be taken during
the course Of the next three months.
Ten years ago the city authorities for
mulated plans for the doubling OF the
Of the city school buildings.
Ine work has been pushed, and in that
time more than n dozen new schools OF
larger capacity than the
old buildings have been completed. But
the increase in the number Of pupils
has outstripped the architects and
builders, and today the problem of
ousing all the city's school children
Is almost as far from solution as II was
n decade ago. Another ten years will
have elapsed before the new buildings
now planned viii be completed
