AeropIaneS in Arctic,

A Norwegian steamship company,
whose boats ply to Russian ports on
the Arctic ocean, has conceived z
novel use for tho aeroplane, which it
hopes to put into operation next
spring. The route is frequently
blocked by icebergs and ice foes, the
steamers lose much time in searching
for a channel and then usually do not
find the best one. The proposal is to
have an aeroplane on each steamer.
When ice is sighted, the aviator is to
ascend and fly over the ice until he
determines the best channel.-Ameri
can Boy.

STRONGER THAN ANY WORDS
John RandoIph's Silence and Panic
mime Disconnected Opponent
Whom He Really Feared.

In painting the sacrifice of Iphigenia
the artist, it has been said, exhaust
ed the emotions of grief and horror
in the faces of the bystanders.
He has left nothing unsaid. How
can he depict her fathers sorrow?"
was the anxious query of those friends
who were watching the development
of the picture. The artist threw a
mantle over Agamemnons face. The
blank silence was more effective than
any pictured woe.
One of the most extraordinary Of.
fects produced by absolute silence is
recorded in the reports of a conven.
ton in which the foremost men Of Vir-
ginia took part. John Randolph had .
measure to carry in which he looked
for the opposition of Alexander Camp
bell, a man then noted for his scholar.
ship and power in debate.
Randolph had never seen tho Scotch
logician, but he had heard enough of
him to make him and his partisans
uneasy. When, therefore, the gaunt
stranger first rose to speak in the
convention Randolph looked at him
with such an air of alarm a. to at.
tract the attention of the whole con.
vention, and as he glanced around
seemed to be asking for sympathy in
his coming defeat. He then COM
posed himself to listen with close At
tention.
Campbell, aware of this by-play,
hesitated and lost the thread Of his
argument. Randolph's face by turns,
as he listened, expressed WEAKNESS,
Indifference and finally contempt. He
leaned back and yawned. Campbell
sat down hastily. He had lost the
whole force of his speech. Not q word
had been spoken, but he was defeated

TOO MUCH OF AN ORDEAL
Americans Having His Life
Mask Made.

Richard Brooks, an American
sculptor, who recently gave up his
studio in Paris and came back home
not long ago told me of an experience
he had with a certain distinguished
American who has attained the high
est honors at the hands of his coun
trymen," remarked Frank j. Daily ct
Fort Smith, Ark, at Washington.
"Mr. Brooks, while dabbling with his
clay and experimenting in Paris, nit
upon a new method of making life
masks of distinguished persons, the
life mask, Of course always being
preferable to q death mask. This
method was a simple one, consisting
merely Of lathering the persons face
and. after the lather had dried, apply.
Ing wax over which the plaster paris
was spread Brooks explained what
he desired to the secretary Of the dis
tinguished American, and the secre.
tary, after celebrating, said he saw no
objection to it. He would consult his
chief, he said. VI
"'How long will it take?' inquired
the secretary, as he was about to de,
part to apprise his chief
"'About half an hour, returned MI
Brooks.
"'Oh, forgot to ask suddenly said
the secretary, returning. Can he tall
while the mask is being made?'
"'Certainly not replied the sculp
tor.
"'Then it's all or returned the sec
rotary, throwing up his hands. 'He
couldn't keep still that long to save
his life"

HIS MAKEUP MADE TROUBLE
Prominent indianapolis Man Was
Called on to Do Some Strenuous
Explaining to Officer.

The next time G. Edgar Turner
takes part in minstrel show he prob
ably will remove his makeup before
he starts home.
Mr.. Turner was one Of the end men
In the Third Christian church min
strel show last week. After the per-
torrance he started to his home in
Park avenue, nearby, Immediately, not
taking time to restore his face to its
once lily Wilderness. To make the
quickest time he went up An alley and
there was where he got into trouble
A policeman stopped him and wished
an explanation. Mr.. Turner thought
tho Jokes that had been perpetrated
at the show had taken pretty we'll
with the audience, SO he could not be.
neve he was being arrested for that.
Being lawyer and sizing up the
situation, he at once began his argu.
ment for the defense. He explained
that he was not real negro; that he
had been to minstrel show and was
taking the shortest way home. Then
the policeman explained that q negro
had been murdered by another negro
In that vicinity not many days ago and
that the police had been watching for
the offender.
Just why the police thought the ne.
gro who committed the murder would
come back to the scene Of his crime
was not explained as far as Is known.

SCHOOL SERIES TO START
Central Picked to Win Opening
Game From Tech Team at
American League Park.
BY BRYAN MORSE.

st. Albans and the Army and
Navy Preparatory School team are
hooking up today in the first battle
of the season for the prep school
title at Satterlee Field. Both teams
have won their last starts, and aside
from the rivalry that exists the
game is being counted for the title
among the prep schools.
Holmes or March of st. Albans
will oppose Franzen, of A. N. p, and
there is considerable discussion as to
whether the St. Albans pitchers can
stop the Props who batted Westerns
pitchers for seventeen hits in yes
terday's engagement.
St. Albans was victor over the
Tech team on Tuesday, and has been
going along we'll all season. Hitting
has been light, but the team has
taken advantage of every break in
the game. The pitching of March,
Holmes, and Brewer has carried the
team along in good shape, and to-
days battle should be well worth
seeing.
ST. Aibans nosed out the A. N. p. team
in football last fall in the last seconds
of play. The battles in basketball went
to the st. Albans team in the league
games and on the other scheduled con-
tests SO that today'S contest is one of
the few that remain for the Props to get
even.

is expecting to defeat. Tech handily.
The new system of athletic member
ship tickets will be put into operation
tomorrow. Cards have been issued to
the members of the various athletic as
sociations which will be collected at the
