ELECTRIC ICE HARVESTER.

Along the Hudson river, where more
ice is harvested than in any other sec
ton of the country, electric motors are
being extensively used in handling the
crop for next summers trade. Out on
the surface of the river the ice is be-
ing marked and cut with ''ploughs"
drawn by horses. The cakes are spud-
ded off by hand and floated to the
electrically operated chain conveyors,
where they are automatically hoisted
from the water and hurried to the ice
houses. As the cakes pass along on
the conveyors they go through the
various finishing machines. One de-
vice trims the cakes to the proper
size; another shaves the top of each,
because passing trains and the smoke
from nearby cities have left sediment
of SCOT on the surface of the ice. This
machine also trims off all snow ice,
which does not keep well. The ice
is hoisted and carried to the most re-
mote corners of the great ice houses
entirely by electricity. The packers
only have to shove each cake into it's
place as fast as it comes.

GIGANTIC IN SIZE AND WEIGHT
Biggest Man That Ever Lived Claimed
by North Carolina.

TN bet none of you folks know that
the largest man that ever lived was
born and raised in North Carolina, y
said Tar Heel. His existence and
dimensions are vouched for in the
American encyclopedia.
His name was Miles Darden. He
was seven feet six inches high, and in
1916 weighed 81 pounds He was born
in North Carolina in 1898 and died in
Tennessee January %, 1857. Until 1853
he was able to go about his work in
an active manner, but his weight in
creased so fast that after that year
when he wanted to move about he had
to be hauled in a two-horse wagon. In
1889 it is chronicled that his coat was
buttoned around three men, each
Weighing more than 200 pounds, who
walked together in it down the streets
in Lexington, n. c. At his death he is
said to have weighed not less than 100p
pounds. His coffin was feet long. 30
inches deep, 30 inches across the
breast, IS across the head and IA across
the feet. These measurements were
taken at the time and are matters OF
historical record

LAUGHTER NOT ALWAYS GOOD.
Evidences of Merriment Sometimes by
No Means Satisfying.

"Of course, you have heard" said
the man with a sensitive ear, "a laugh
that Jared. I don't mean,' he con-
tinued, so much a laugh at an mop
perfume time-I imagine we have all
heard such laughs-as o laugh the
quality of which is unpleasant. There
is something contagious in laughter of
the right kind, even though you may
be the object of it. It bubbles from
the well of good humor; there is no
hidden thought, or 'arriere pensee,' as
the French say, behind it. 1t is the
essence of frankness; it is spontaneous
and wholesou1ed, and it cleanses the
system of the laughter, and, too, of the
nearer, like a spiritual bath.
''But there are other kinds of laugh
ter. The sneering laugh is perhaps
the most familiar. Then there is a
quiet laugh--a sibilant seeretive sort
of laugh that is quite as certain to
mean mischief. Another laugh, dis
agreeable in its nature, is the high
pitched, nervous cachination that comes
either from embarrassment or is mere
vocal habit. The worst laugh of all,
however, to my mind, is that mirthless
sound provoked by the distress or en-
barrassment of others, and it rasps, nat
urally, most of all, the object calling it
forth. A person laughed at and hurt
never forgets the experience. /"

4 CALIFORNIA POET
FONDLY REL MBEREO

A typographical error occurred in the
Advertiser of today in the mention of
the reading at the Kilohana Art
League rooms, this morning, by Mrs.
Nv. F. Frear, of some of the poetfcal
writings of the late and lamented Pro-
.fessor Edward Rowland Sill, the we'll
known name being spelled Fill IN
1892 1 published, in paper l then
owned and edited in California, The
Ojai,'' several columns of Professor
SilPs verses, under the heading, Cali
fornia's Poets-Choice Selections from
the Writings of those Poets who Have
Been Identified with the Literary Life
of the State." The list included writ
ings by Bret Harte, Ina d. Coolbrith,
Camilla K. Won X, Isaac r. Baxley,
Eliza A. Otis and Maud Wyman.
Professor John Murray, the elocu-
ZIONIST Ca descendant of Lindley Muir
ray, the grammarian, I believe). wrote
of Professor Sill in 1892, IF the late
Edward Rowland Sill had not been cut
off in his prime, dying in his forty
fifth year, the world at large would
readily have given him a place among
California's poets second to none, and,
possibly, far above all the rest, Bret
Harte included. Comparison between
the two would be difficult. Certainly
that is a wide and splendid range of
poetry and poetic prose which is so
ably filled by the author of Concep-
cion Arguello' and The Outcast Of
Poker Flat Those who were familiar
with Professor Sill's writings, during
his short career, had no hesitancy in
ascribing intellectual powers of the
rarest order to tn quiet, reserved, SEN
sitive man. After his death the me-
mortal services held in Berkeley
brought tributes of respect and love
from the neighborhood and from afar.
Among these were verses of the tai
ented Miss Coolbrith and a touching
recognition of personal loss from the
pen of the poet Aldrich.''
Professor Sill may properly be call
ed California poet, as he was thor
oughly identified with the literary life
of the State, and for eight years he
filled the chair of English literature
in the university. How much practical
encouragement he gave to the editors
of the Overland Monthly they will
readily allow, staunch friend as he was
to the enterprise, and to his own pupils
interested therein.
Among Professor Sill's poems I re-
call, 1.-THE Fools Prayer" "Opportu-
nifty Five Lives Peace "A
Foolish Wish,'' "A Californians
Dreams, California Winter "a
Drifting Cloud" "A Tropical Morning
at Sea- 1.-The Invisible Eastern
Winter" Evening THE Secret"
Spring" Dare You?" Tranquility"
But for Him."
1 would like to send you Ina D.
Coolbrith's poetical gem on the death
of Professor Sill, but fear 1 have al
ready asked for too much space. 1
will close with this uncaptioned verse
from Edward Sills pen:
1.-The ill-timed truth we might have
kept
Who knows how deeply it pierced and
stung?
The word we had not sense to say
Who knows how grandly it had rung?"

Miss Hill began in this way:
Does it pay to advertise? Well
should say so. A man came to an
editor in the town Of ShelbyyilIe one
day and asked that question.
Does it pay, asked the man, to
advertise in your paper%

After being in session sixty
days and making an apparent in
crease of about $12,000,OOO in as
sessments, the Louisiana State
Board of Equalization brought
It's session to a final close Thurs
day. The increase is apparent
for the reason that about $S,O0O,-
000 OF the supposed increase is
on pine lands, and the belief is
expressed by some of the mem
bers that the increase will not
stand. 1t is arrived at by the
Board ordering the assessors to
make classifications of pine
lands the same as last year.
The other increases made by the
Board were 81 100000 in merch-
andise, 81, 100000 in banks 49,
100000 in mineral and mine
lands. To Offset this, however,
there is a decrease in live stock
and agriculture amounting to
considerably over a million. The
Board asks the Police Juries to
classify the various
lands, before the Board meets
again.
