ECHO OF TITANIC DISASTER
Researches of Ice Patrol Boats Have
Exploded Many Theories Held
in 1912

After the loss of the giant White
Star liner Titanic. in April, 1912. by
striking an iceberg. there was much dis
cussiOn in Europe and America as to
the. possibility of adopting measures to
lessen the likelihood of such disasters
in the future, says 2. T. McGrath in
the American Review of Reviews. An
international conference for the saw
ing of life at sea-" which was held III
London, resulted, among other things,
in an undertaking by the principal ma
rine powers of the world to maintain
an ice parol on the north Atlantic
from February to June in each year.
1t was agreed that this ice putrol
should be carried out by The United
States on behelf of the various coun-
tries represented, the cost TO be borne
by them pro rata, Britain to pay % per
cent of the total, Germany, France and
the United States 10 per cent each and
Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark.
Italy, Holland, Norway, Russia and
Sweden from 4 to 2 per cent each.
The American authorities inaugu-
rated this patrol service with the naval
scout cruisers birmingham and Ches-
ter, but later asSign the revenue cut
ters Seneca and Miami to this duty,
which ships have since continued it
The first season st. Johns was chosen
for the work, but ultimately it was
found more convenient to utilize Hali-
fax, Nova Scotia, because the area
patrolled was south of st. Johns and
extended farther south as the season
advanced and the arnadas of icebergs
became more numerous.
A theory exploded by the ice pa
troll ships is that the proximity of ice
is marked by notable lowering of air
temperature. Experiments covering
three years have proved that such is
not the case, and that as rule there
is little or no change in the temper
ature of the air near an iceberg. Equal
ly fallaciouS is the idea that the pres
ence of berg is denoted by lower
ing of the temperature of the water
AS a matter of fact the very contrary
is the case.
Other theories, as that echoes indi-
cate the presence of bergs, that ice
discloses itself through what is knowE
as the "ice blink" and that submarine
"ears' on ships will reveal the near
ness of ice by its peculiar motion
through the waves have been PROVED
equally unfounded. In truth, the tes
tihpony of the commanders of these pa
troll ships is that the ortly, safe way tt
navigate regions of icehergs is to stoI
during thick weather and to run yer!
slowly on dark nights.

HOW TO GROW SWEET PEAS
BY BETTY PAKE.

BY BETTY PAkE.
First of all select your seeds early
and SOW as soon as is possible in
your particular part of the globe.
It is bad business to plant your
sweet peas on the same ground SEQ
cessive years. If your garden IS t~c
small to allow of a change of site
each year. remove the oId soil and ul
in with new.
This soil should be rich and deep
and prepared eariy-the fall of the
year is q good time-if this can be
done. Dig into the ground thorough
ly slaked lime and wood ashes.
The ideal soil for growing sweet
peas is a good rich, turfy loan, thor.
oughly enriched with rotted manure OF
Donemeal. in proportion of three.
fourths soil to one-fourth fertilizer
according TO the condition of the soil.
In sowing the peas do not SOW them
too thickly or too thinly-a fair av.
erage is one package of seed to ten
feet of garden-should the peas grow
too thickly thin out to about two
inches apart.
Pulverize the soil in the trench be.
fore sowing your seeds To a depth
of three inches see that the soil is
esquisite1v fine Sow the seeds in
double row about ten inches apart
about two inches below the surface.
Arrange brush for trailing the vines,
the brush should run from five to eight
feet above the ground. 1t is a good
plan to arrange these supports when
the seed is sown.
Sweet peas suffer from dry and hot
weather Water them frequently and
thoroughly and give them an applica-
tion of liquid manure once week.
Apply good heavy mulch of long
straw manure around the ground
around The sweet peas, as soon as hot
weather sets in This keeps the
ground from drying out and keeps the
soil cool.
The life Ct the vine is greatly length
ened if every seed POD is removed as
soon as they appear and by the con.
stant cutting of the flowers.
partial shade during the hottest
part OF the day is very essential tc
secure the best color in the blooms
The greatest enemy sweetpeas
have is the cutworm and they often
prevent getting a stand of good sweet
peas. They usually take the young
shoots as soon as they appear Water
ing with limewater %elps to keep out
the cutworms. A handful of grass
dipped in solution I paris green will
sometimes attract md exterminate

Scientific dream Interpretation helps

into the making of our character and

The conpilers of the gaudy little pa
per covered dream books once so much
in vogue went, rightly enough, on the
theory that dreams are symbolic. But
they erred by assuming that they are
always symbolic of future events, and
that any particular dream element can
always be interpreted as symbolic of
the same kind of future event.
Those who expect modern science to
provide them with Il dream manual
akin to the old dream books, so that
everyone may become his own inter

doomed to disappointment. Accurate
dream Interpretation almost always
means time and effort But it is well
worth the trouble it costs. All who
would discover unsupported weak
nesses and defects in themselves, who
would gain maximum of health, hap
piness and efficiency through right liv-
ing, will do we'll to seek to have their
dreams analyzed.
And it is not only for the light it
throws on ones nature and character
that scientific dream Interpretation is
