A FINE ICE CROP.

There is a fine ice crop this year
and most Of the ice houses in New
England are filed with a quality Of
clear ice such as has not been seen in
this section for many years. It is
clear and has lasting quality 80 1-3
per cent greater than the crop Of
1912.
How much cheaper it viii be is
another question. There is always a
great waste in ice. The ordinary cake
of ice taken from the river or pond
or wherever il is cut will weigh about
go or 275 pounds. and when it is
trimmed 40 and ready for the consum-
cr viii seldom fall below 200 pounds.
This is split into four pieces, and az
the Ire dealer is supposed to supply
40 pounds as the standard cake. It
is seen that the consumer really gets
q little more than he pays for.
The price OF horses and the cost of
grain all figure into the cost Of the
ice ia tho refrigerator as well as the
cost OF distribution, which in 1912 does
lot promise to be any cheaper than
heretofore.
But ice Of this quality at the same
price as last year is really very
much better bargain, for ice which
has the best Of staying qualities tells
for economy and in the aggregate must
show considerable advantage to the
consumers.

CIRCULATION
AN ENCOURAGING INDICATION.

The closing Of the savings bank at
Windsor Locks with an apparent
shortage Of SI15, goo, naturally created
intense excitement there, and in con-
nection Herewith, great many SEN
sati0nal stories have been told.
The one encouraging thing about
the situation is that not an asset of
the bank is missing, and there are
some evidences Of errors made against
the bank in the deposit accounts
which viii prove to be of advantage
TO the depositors in the final settle
ment,
Speaking Of this. the Hartford Cour-
ant says: That means that there Is
good stuff on hand and that every de-
posit0r win be paid more or less of his
claim II all. all right. If a scaling
comes, then still something and some
thing considerable. Under such con-
ditions no depositor should sell his
handbook. You can hear lots Of peo-
lie who Ia e made money by buying

cid you ever hear of anybody who

This is wholesome advice to deposit

Q.-At the TRANSPORTATION Of Jesus,
Matthew xvii, 8, states that Elias and
Moses appeared and talked with Him.
Win you please explain how it was
possible for the Apostles to recognize
that these two who were with the
Lord were Moses and EFas7 Nv. c.
.C.)
Answer.-As the scriptural nara
tive does not contain the information
as TO the modus oparandi by which the
Apostles recognized the Patriarchs, we
are forced to rely upon our own re-
sources and to accept that which
would appeal to US as the most reason
able solution Of the matter. without
forming a too positive conclusion.
There are two ways by which it would
be reasonable to suppose the Apostles
were made aware of the identity of
the two who appeared with the Lord.
In the account ii says "There appear
ed unto them Moses and Elias, talking
with Him. During this conversation
It would be the most natural thing in
the world for the Lord to address them
by their names Then, again, as they
were coming down from the mountain
with the Lord, He may have informed
them as to the identity OF the two they
saw in the vision" They did not ac-
tually see Moses and Elias, but merely
vision as stated by the vior
when He said Tell the vision to no
man until the Son of man be risen
from the dead. Matthew xvii 3.

CREATING A CITY BEAUTIFUL.

The claim of Chicago to distinction
as the most progressive and far-s sight
ed city in drainage construction is
challenged by New Orleans, notwith
standing the s65,O00,OO0 sanitary canal,
which reversed the flow of a river
and sent 1t down the Mississippi in
stead Of into the Great lakes. New
Orleans will give the world a practi-
cal demonstration Of the value of re-
claimed swamp lands by draining
$4,000 acres and utilizing those acres
to develop a city Beautiful and
build up educational and charitable in
situations. These $4,000 acres are in
the New Orleans delta of the Missis-
sippi river, valued at $1.5G per acre,
eight years ago at rs cents. Ten or
fifteen years ago such land could not
be given away except by trickery.
Drained and reclaimed from the swamp
and overflow they will have value
of 500 to 5000 an acre. Before New
Orleans shall reach the 100000 popu-
lation mark they will be worth from
$3.50 to $500 an acre, according to
John A. Kruse, a consulting engineer
Of Chicago, who has given the sub
ject of reclaimed swamp lands in the
Mississippi valley considerable study.
The $4,000 acres were given to New
Orleans by Edward Wisner, Michi-
gan man, who went to New Orleans
twenty years ago and demonstrated
the value Of reclaimed swamp lands.
Mr. Kruse was in New Orleans when
the gift was offered, with Edmund T.
Perkins, acting president of the Ma
tional Drainage congress; George H.
Maxwell, director Of the Pittsburgh
flood commission. and others, to at
tend a meeting in connection with the
next session Of the Drainage congress
in that city. April 1913. '9The city
cannot dispose Of the land for 100
years" said Mr.. Kruse, but can use
the revenues derived from it. In much
less time than that it will be worth as
much as the lands of Holland or the
fens Of England are now-from $3.50 to
$500 per acre.
