An Ice Mine.

r lnbelievable as it may seem, there exists at
Coudersport, Penn, an ice mine. 1t dis
who' noting a peculiar codness-even in the
warmest weather-of a certain portion of his
farm was led to dig there in the belief that he
would find deposit CT silver The mine or
cave which he unearthed proved to be forty feet
deep and from ten to twelve feet in diameter
At present, it is entered by means OF a ladder
since it is situated the side of hill
Biologists are not able TO explain why the
mine happens to be where it is nor why the
ice should form, in seeming opposition to the laws
OF nature, IN summer and melt IN winter as il
does in this instance. The ice is formed from
a peculiar cold mist which comes through OPEN
Ings found all the way from the top to the bot
tom of the forty-foot shaft AS soon as warm
weather arrives, trosi appears on the walls of
the shaft and soon tiny Icicles form rapidly until
in the warmest weather huge icicles, often two
feet thick. reach from the PLATFORM at the TOP
to the bottom OF the mine The ice begins form
ing in May, and in October the thaw sets in
shelter was erected the mine some
time ago; but It had to be removed as the ice
melted when the suns rays were kept from the
mine
The mine has been used as cold storage
plant by the wife of the farmer and sh. claims
that eggs have been kept seven months in the
natural refrigerator and at the end OF that period
found to be in perfect condition. During the
.25 to 80 degrees above zero This mine. not
withstanding the fact tha: it is open at the top is
warm enough on the coldest winters day to keep
vegetables without freezing.
The ownership of this natural curiosity has
recently changed hands, and now the business
men Of Coudersport arc cooperating with the
new owner in an effort to attract more tourists
to the place. They arc planning extensive
advertising campaign, which will include adver
tising in automobile guide books. Important i'm
provements on the roads buildings, and the
park surrounding the ice mine 70 be carried
out before the coming The contem-
plated opening of the road running directly
past the mine, the Jersey Shore Turnpike will
make visiting the mine and grounds particularly
convenient to autoists in the East-Scientifc

A Congressional Superstition.

:, lhere is curious superstition which has
lurked behind most of the debates on prepared
ness ness IN Congress. Perhaps this superstition can
oesI DC denned by algebraic comparison.
LET equal the number of soldiers we need.
TWO privates, we are in danger of seeing hostile
four hours
If We have soldiers plus one mule driver
ana TWO sergeants, we are in danger OF turning
the nation into an armed camp and of converting
country OF peace-loving people into the dwell.
ing[piace OF host of ravening wolves.
vi course there is irreducible minimum be-
low which our military forces must not be per-
mitted to fall. 1t can be said that there is no
present danger OF our military forces falling be-
10" TINS rreducibe minimum unless they defy
the law OF gravitation and fall up. But this
question OF the size OF our forces is, in the long
run rum matter OF secondary Importance compared
with the method of their organization and the
attitude OF our citizens toward the whole ques-
tlon of military service.
The hrst duty before the country is to free
our professional army from civilian interference
IN regard to purely technical questions. To the
framed ohlcers OF the regular army must be
given the responsibility for determining the or
ganlzatlon and equipment of our military forces.
Army posts must be located not for the con-
venlence OF Congressman, but for their utility
as Tenters OF mobilization and training.
The second duty before the country is to face
the facts OF our military establishment it now
IS AS nation we must learn to distinguish
between an army in being and the paper army
of legislative fat.
The third duty before the country is to awake
TO the realization of the fact that nothing less
than universal military training can prove an
adequate solution to problem of defense
The fourth and most important duty before
the country is to decide and for all that this
universal training must be undertaken not in re-
turn for pay, but some slight compensation for
the privileges Of citizenship
Concerning the recognition Of these four duties
we cannot recall a single instance where the ad-
vice and example of Congressman Hay, Chair
man OF the Military Committee Of the House, has
proved otherwise than encouragement and a
handicap to all those who are working both
within and without the army for the progressive
development Of our system of national defense
The Outlook

Musical Future for the CAPITAL.

The Community Singing Society," by its three
excellent performances Of the opera Martha"
has proven its claim to the fullest moral and
financial support of those interested in the
musical development of the Capital. The artistic
success of the production was due in great
measure to the unceasing labor OF a director
whose zeal inspired the enthusiastic co-opera-
ton of the singers and orchestra They are to
be congratulated upon their achievement
1t has been said that Washington is not a
musical city, though capable visiting opera
companies, symphony orchestras and recitals are
always greeted by large and keenly appreciative
audiences, and generally the galleries are crowded
with enthusiasts. We have also many music
clubs, such the Rubnstein Club, the Friday
Morning Club, the Motet Choir the Home Club
chorus, the Monday Morning Club, and Others
all composed of talented amateur singers and
instrumentalists. For several seasons we boast
ed an excellent symphony orchestra which, sup
ported by subscription, gave splendid concerts
To place our city on a basis musically with
other cities of its size or even smaller ones
we need the unselhsh interest of a public
spirited, enterprisng man or woman, or a COM
mittee, who will devise ways and means BY
which to maintain local opera company to
give occasional operas and concerts, such as the
Community Singing Society which has had so
ausPcious commencement. Improvement and
success sure to follow
Operate music is generally conceded to be
the most delightful form of musical entertain
ment and should not be held luxury We
should follow the example of Europe in this
regard and maintain our local company. so that
the people may hear the works of the great
masters at small cost. Good music uplifts and
beautihes every day existence but at the present
time it is an expensive feast which only
minority afford. When the musical interest.
OF the city unite it will not be long before
we will be able to enjoy a spring festival of
opera, oratorio and symphony concerts, such as
are held in many cities in this country Pro-
vision could be made for the attendance of school
children and these local performances would be
valuable asset to the instruction of music in
the public schools.
Music speaks a universal language and
community musical organization we'll endowed and
maintained would promote friendship and good
will among the people such as no other common
interest could possibly develop.
