The Fate of the Maynower.
From Shipping Illustrated.

From Shipping illustrated
What became OF the celebrated clipper
schooner Mayfower after she came to
this country nearly 300 years ago with
few Pilgrim fathers and Pilgrim moth
ers and their offspring. and a large con
signment of Pilgrim furniture? This
question has been often asked, and sell
dom answered correctly, if answered at
all. There has been reason TO suspect
that the famous vessel was kept on this
side Of the big pond and used in the
East River ferry service until the last de-
cade or possibly on the Staten Island
route, but such was not the case. AS a
matter of history, the Mayhower. after
her famous voyage 20 Cape Cod in 1920
went into the cotton trade of the Hon
orable East India Company, and later
in the seventeenth century became a total
wreck near Masulipatam. on the coast of
India. The immigration movement TO
which she gave a memorable impetus,
however, goes proudly forward.

Austrian TcicIe FACTORY,

From the Pathfinder.
In Austria ice sticks" are manufac-
tured at a profit.
A series of poles is arranged so that
the water will fall slowly over each one
in the series. OF course, the water in
the winter time freezes. forming large
icicles. When the icicles have attained
the proper size the employees Of the ice
plant" come around with carts. break of
the great sticks of ice and haul them
away to a place where they are put in
storage.
OF course. it much easier to handle a
large quantity of ice in this way than
it is to cut it from some stream and then
pack it away. There may, however, be a
difference in quality between stick ice
and lake or river ice.
