Explodinq Ice Bubbles.

The intensely cold nights of Siberia. says a writer, produce curious phe- nomenon. Occasionally the silence is broken by a loud report resembling the boom of cannon. The noise is caused by the bursting of an ice bubble on a river The streams coming from the hills are incased. in ice six to nine inches thick, and as the water de scends faster than it escapes through the river the result is heavy hydro static pressure. This first causes the ice upon the river to rise in mounds often six to eight feet high. For a time they seem to yield eIastically to the pressure. but finally can with stand no more and burst with an ex plosive report The water rushes out. soon freezing, however. and causing further explosions. The writer asserts that he has seen scores of these ice hillocks within a few miles.

An illustration of the Efficiency of
 Scientific Management.
 Writing in the American Magazine on the development of the modern fac tory under the new principles of scien. tific management, Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell describes the importance of keeping tools and materials in order in the workshop and tells the following story:
 '"The promptness and sureness with which part can be located under this system once saw illustrated in an in teresting way at the Watertown arse nal. Lieutenant Colonel Wheeler, the commanding officer, told me to select piece in any one of the gun carriages under construction and we would take the number of 1t to the office and ask the clerk to tell us where that particu. lar piece was.
 "In five minutes after we had given him the number he had located the piece. think it is not an exaggeration to say that if under the old system such question had been asked of any. body in the Watertown arsenal it would have taken days for them to have answered it, if indeed they ever could have done so.
 "As there are fifty different kinds and grades of material and 4,600 different pieces used in disappearing gun car riage, the advantage of being able to put your hand promptly on material and pieces as we'll as knowing every night whether you have in stock the quantities of each necessary to carry on work does not need arguing. The gain to workingmen and to manage ment obviously is enormous"

Mme. Strauss Saw . Chance For Profit

Mme. Strauss Saw . Chance For Profit
 That Her Husband Missed.
 A little story told by Les AnnaIes shows that Mime. Strauss, the wife of Richard Strauss. the composer, is a woman with keen business sense. It is perhaps she who has made her hus- bands reputation as the shrewdest dealer among musicians.
 One day young musician called on Strauss and asked permission to play for him a parody on the famous com. poser's 'Salome." Strauss granted the request. When the young man had finished Strauss was enthusiastic in his approval. "Very droll. very droll!" he cried. Tt will be success, a great success! l congratulate you"
 As the young musician was on the point of leaving Mime. Strauss entered, and her husband at once began an en- thusiastic explanation. "This young gentleman" he cried, "has just com. posed parody on 'Salome,' truly re markable piece of work"
 Mime. Strauss raised her eyebrows What terms have you nader" she asked in low voice.
 "Why, no terms"
 "That is no way to do, Demand 25 per cent royalties"
 And, turning to the writer of the par. ody, Mme. Strauss advised him, with seemingly maternal solicitude. to &C., cept the advantageous offer that the master was willing to make him. Thus it came about that the parody on "Sa. lome." which, as M Strauss prophe- sled, was very successful. proved source of considerable income for the Strausses.

The performance was on a high plane. was perfectly staged and musically meritorious, and it would have reflected credit on a company of professional performers. It was per haps the best effort of amateurs ever staged in Birmingham.
 Great credit is due Robert Lawrence the vocal director of the Southern Birmingham from New orleans few months ago. MT Lawrence gathered about him several young people of talent and proposed a charity per formance of the delightful Gilbert and Sullivan opera, The Pirates of Pen zance.' The plan met with instantaneous approved and rehearsals were soon be- gun. For weeks and weeks Mr Law renee worked with his tyros and final ly the amateurs began to attain stage boise and remember their lines. Last I S It al ilSiiC lltdt was lnt anu the efforts of MT. Lawrence met with the highest praise.
 Of the principals in the opera, Mrs. w. T. Ward as ''Mabel' was the vocal star and was ably seconded by Mrs. Frederick Dodge as Ruth Mrs. Dodge's voice was not overstrong but she surpassed Mrs. Ward in histrionic talent. Mrs. Ward sang with a rich, full voice and enunciated clearly. Her vocal work was of high merit and ev- cry one of her numbers met with thun- derous applause. Miss Ethel Burger, Mrs. W. r. Specht and Miss Alice Phil lips were excellent as the timorous daughters of the major general.
 Of the male members of the cast, H. J. Posner as "Richard the Pirate King" gave a remarkable interpreta- ton for an amateur. Mir. Posner's first number. "I Am a Pirate King" estab- lished him as a favorite with tha au- dience and throughout the performance his work was on high plane.

 CENTRAL HIGH

An easy victory was achieved by the Central High school over the Ensley High school on the 1atters court yes- terday afternoon by the score of 22 to 15 The court could hardly be called a regulation basketball court as the suburban boys playing field was filled with small gullies. while the baskets rocked when the ball hit them.
 Henley. Hall and Dorskey played a star game, while Mandy and Ponder showed fine form for the Steel City boys.
 Fouls were numerous and the cord weather added to the difficulties of ac- quiring a victory. A superiority in every branch of the game was shown by the locals and their cleverness baffled the young losers.
 The summary follows: Central High, Henley and Gillian. forwards; Baker and Goodall center; Hall and Dorskey, guards. Ensley High, Mandy and Me- Namara. forwards: Propst, center; Brown and Ponder, guards.
