THE ICE OF THE ARCTIC.

Shipwreced sailors have often suf.
fered and sometimes died of thirst
because the salt water of the ocean
can not be drunk. Arctic explorers
can utilize the ice for drinking pur-
poses, the only trouble being in melt
ing it Sea water, in the process of
freezing, eXpels the salt, and its
freezing point is about 2S degrees, or
four degrees below that of fresh wa
ter. Ice is the principal product of
the Arctic regions, and we are in
debted to whalers and explorers for
some distinctive phrases regarding it.
The ice first forms in thin, irregular
"sludge." and when this is compact
enough to hold snow it is known as
"brash." Gathered into rounded
masses it becomes pancake ice," and
soon it becomes thicker. The first
thin covering is called MAY ice" A
"Floe" is sheet of ice. the limits of
which are visible, and an "ice field"
is so extensive that its limits can not
be seen. Pack ice" consists of
broken floes forced together by the
winds or currents. indianapolis

SCHUBERTS SERENADE.

There is no tune that grips my
heart, and seems to pull me all apart,
like this old Serenade; it seems to
breathe Of distant lands, and trouba-
dour and maid. It's freighted with
a gentle woe as old as all the seas
that flow, as young as yesterday; as
changeless as the stars above, as
yearning as a woman's love for true
knight far away. 1t seems a prayer
serene and pure; tale of love that
will endure when they who loved
are dust, when earthly songs are
heard no more, and bridal wreaths
are withered sore, and wedding rings
are rust. It's weary with a lovers

Instead of nations maintaining ma
vies to protect them, it is getting to
be that navies are using nations to
maintain them. The lack of a prop
er sense of humor in the English and
German naval boards promises to be
the death of fine old employment
that has held its place among men
for thousands of years. Tax-burden-
ed peoples, groaning under the cost
of naval programs, must cry out
pretty soon in a unanimous howl,
why do We maintain such a raft of
these ridiculous machines, that cost
preposterousy to make and keep,
and eat their heads off without ever
doing a stroke of productive work"
AS soon as that voice is unanimous,
armament will susbide, and we sup
pose navies may dwindle to what is
necessary for international peace

vival of criticism of the griiiron sport
There are many who object to any
game which involves as much dan
ger as football. Yet there is another
side to the question. As a matter of
fact is 1t not a wholesome thing for
people to engage in sports that in
volve some element of danger? With
out vigorous sports is there not dan
ger of the white race becoming weak
and eliminate under the artificial
conditions under which we live?
The Louisville CourierJournal re-
Gently had the following along this
line.
when the question of whether a
given form of athletic sport should be
tabooed because of fatalities result
ing from it is broached there is argu-
ment upon both sides. 1t is easy to
condemn game that takes toll of
life. 1t is more difficult to say how
We are to keep up the stamina of a
race if we discourage all forms of
competitive athletics which include an
element of danger. Our hard-riding,
fox-hunting ancestors in England and
Scotland rode with death at their ell
bows and earlier in the history of the
Anglo-SaXons the rough-and-tumble
Of the tilt-yard cost lives. But the
Anglo-SaXon is a finer specimen OF
manhood than he would have been
without the training his race has had
in field sports"

CLEAN THEM OUT.

Mayor Simon of Portland, favors re-
ducing the number of saloons in Port
land from AIS to 100 and the elimi-
nation of all places in the nature OF
dives. He would not allow saloons to
be places where men loaf or loiter.
Mayor Simon is upon the right track
and Portland will do we'll to follow
out his suggestion. one hundred sa-
looms, properly conducted, should full
ly meet the legitimate demand for
liquor in Portland Portland nor any
other city needs saloons to sell liquor
for improper purposes. No city or
community gains by maintaining
houses of debauchery. of course the
saloonmen and many of the property
owners Of Portland will object stren-
uously to Mayor Simon's drastic plan
of reform. But the question should
be worked out in Portland irrespective
OF the wishes of those who are ma
terially interested, directly or indi-
rectly. in the liquor business. Unless
Portland and other wet" portions of
this state take vigorous action during
the next year and by doing so meet the
demand for saloon reform then you
may expect state wide prohibition

USE LOCAL GOODS.

A day or two ago the Baker Cit!
Democrat had the following:
There are some business men in
this city who are failing to push
Baker City flour, pushing rather th'
product Of other mills, and giving
Baker City only when it is demanded
There are some Baker commits
sion men. who, when asked for prices
on flour quote the Baker City pro-
duct at cents more per hundred
than they ask for foreign flour
which costs them the same money
laid down here"
Continuing the Baker City paper
says this is no way for people to do.
1t is not the proper spirit for merch-
ants to display. IT is possible a SINH
lar criticism could be made here with
respect TO some Of the many lines
manufactured in Pendleton. This city
manufacturers not only flour, but
many other things, among them robes
and other wooden mill products, farm
machinery, saddles, butter, diapers,
show cases, sashes and doors and 9th
er things. Merchants and everybody
else should assist the local manufac-
turers in every reasonable way. When
considerations Of price and quality
are equal certainly preference should
be shown locally made products. This
should go without saying.

An overdressed woman was talking
to an acquaintance.
"Yes," she said, "since John came
into his money we have a nice coun-

Dear BEACON Sometime ago, the
Maryland Pilgrims Association ask
cd permission OF the Trustees Of ST.
Mary.s Female Seminary for the use
of the Hall at 81. Mary's City 10 col
citrate the 276 anniversary Of the
Of the landing Of the first set
tiers ct that place. and l am pleas.
cd TO state that every member Of
the Board seemed pleased 70 grant
the request. II was further pro-
posed by q methodist member that
the Trustees act o. q committee 10
receive the Pilgrims. As the Trua-
tees have full control OF the Semi-
nary, ! ask had anyone any right TO
oppose their wishes or 10 object TO
the celebration on State property as
proposed by the Maryland Pilgrims
Association. And yet. | have been
informed that body Of narrow
minded men met and adopted reso-
lutions protesting against the pro.
posed celebration.
: Nearly 300 years ago, small body
Of colOnists landed at Sc. Mary's

animated with far different spirit,
meet and protest against the cole-
brati0n Of al event which has been
lauded for generations By liberty
loving people. I am sorry and
ashamed to know that such spirit
Of intolerance and bigotry exists Ia

among men. some Of whom | have
