SARGENTVilLE,

1t seems very doubtful il the Mountain
Lake Ice Co will, harvest any ice here

still in the houses. The private ice
houses have been filled with ice taken
from the Mill pond.

BUSY DAYS ON THE ICE.
Augusta Ice Co. Doing Rushing Bust
ness Cutting and Storing Harvest.

S. c. Webster, who has charge of the
ice cutting operations for the Angus
ia Ice Co, is Il busy man these days.
having charge of crew numbering
about 40 men, exclusive of the men he
employs to drive his teams.
The blocks of ice now being cut
measure % by "A inches and are so
laid that the ends do not touch. At the
present time about $500 cakes day
are being put into the houses, each
block weighing something like 900
pounds. 1t is estimated that there are
81 pounds of weight to every three
inches of thickness.
1t is very interesting to watch the
different operations on the ice fields
and in the houses as they are per-
formed. The field is first cleared of
snow, marked out and then grooved
with ice plows, cutting s, 10 and II
inches at time, respectively. The
marker cuts q three-inch groove. Then
the ice is barred off from the field and
tioated through canal to the Ice
house, where it goes up over an ele-
vator, two cakes at q time, and after
reaching the top of the house takes a
slide down a runway, men standing at
the lower end to direct the blocks to
their proper destination. Skiilful work
is needed here. for the cakes of ice
come down the incline with amazing
speed and when they reach the end
they are Switched" to their proper
locations by men armed with pick
poles something like the familiar pick
poles used by river drivers.
All the ice being put up by the Au-
gusta Ice Co. this winter is exceed
ingly clear, as was illustrated by Mr.
Webster. who turned a block over in
the water, showing that the slightest
scratch could be seen on the other
side, saying as he did 50: There is no
plate glass that compares with the
clarity Of that ice" He has been in
the ice business for the past % years
in this section and there is probably
no man on the river who is better pre-
pared to talk with authority about the
handling of ice than he.

WOMAN HAS AIRSHiP.
Believes 1t Meets War Department Re-
qurements.

New York, Feb. 11.-Miss +. t. Todd,
a gray-haired woman who has an aero
studio at 131 West Twenty-third street,
recently exhibited to newspaper men
model of an aeroplane which, she as
scrts, is a conn lete success. She has
constructed. she says, a full-sized ma
chine, which will be given test With
In the next fortnight. The big ma
chine, she says will carry two men.
AS to the model, it consists Of Two
superimposed planes, but, unlike most
other airships, these are curved later
ally and meet AZ either end, instead Of
being boxed The machine, therefore,
looks more like a bird than most of its
predecessors. The basket, carrying
the motor and men, is hung on q bar
between the boxes on each side, much
as the body of q bird might he con-
ceived to hang between its wings in
flight There is the usual propeller al
the back OF the basket, AMI also two
large rudders, while at the front is a
horizontal plans which can ne raised
or lowered TO control the elevation.
The point of the machine lies chiefly
in the method of hanging the basket
and in the control. which is supposed,
by the inventor, to obviate the en-
barrassing ground swooping tactics OF
so many aerOplanes.
TIL. real aeroplane will be fortytw'o
fest from tip to tip, about eight feet
high, and not over sever feet from
stem to stern. This latter dimension.
coupled with the readiness with which
the land wheels may be turned around.
will enable the machine to be carted
along a road sideways without taking
it to pieces And the operation OF
folding for packing on single army
wagon is estimated to take but two
minutes and five seconds.
The frame is of steel tubing. and the
surfaces of balloon fabrics, and the
whole airship, exclusive Of motor,
weighs but so pounds. There are
about eighty-four square yards OF
surface The six-foot propeller VII,
be driven by a Curtiss motor of at
least fifty horsepower, and the inven-
tor has figured that the machine will
as easily carry Il motor of 100 horse
power, the latter being OF eight cylin-
ders and weighing 800 pounds.
Miss Todd was an exhibitor at
jamestown and at exhibitions of the
Aero Club. She says that the only ex-
parts who have seen her model say it
will fly.
Miss Todd did not submit plans to
the War Department in its recent COM
test, but she has taken all the speCifi-
cations of that contest into account in
her latest venture, and is sure that il
will meet them all. Among these T.
quirements ere that the aeroplana
must carry gasoline sufficient for rs
miles; that Il must carry two men, and
that it must not make less than
tnirty-six miles an hour. The woman
inventor says her machine Will e
about forty miles an hour-the aver
! age of the best French acroplanes al
their best.
