Aeroplanes for sighting lcebergs and
icefields. to enable ship to steer clear
Of them. are being seriously consld-
cred by a Norwegian steamship CON-
paay that has many difficulties from
ice. The steamers Of the line ply to
Siberian ports by an Arctic ocean
route, which Is badly blocked by Ice
foes In some seasons.
Under the present method. when
foes are sighted by the lookout. the
steamer has to cruise back and forth
until 1t finds a way through or around
the foes, and much time Is thus lost.
The proposal Is to have an aero
plane on each steamer and to have one
OF the crew trained to fly. When ice
Is sighted the aeroplane would go up
and the airman could in many in
stances see that in a certain direction
'he water was clear, or perhaps even
determine the entire extent Of the
foes. His report would then enable
the captain to fix the shortest route
round the obstruction.
Methods Of launching an aeroplane
from the deck Of a vessel are stIll i'm
perfect, and other obvious difficulties
appear; but the company has the idea
N mind and hopes it may find 1t feas-
ible.

PEER GYNT" WITH
 CYRIL MAUDE TODAY
Royal Offers Famous Actor in Henrik Ibsen's Historic
 Masterpiece of Drama.

Peer Gynt," Oliver Morosco's film ization of Henrik Ibsen's masterpiece, is the next attraction at the Royal for today and tomorrow. Cyril Maude, star of Grumpy" and the celebrated London actor-manager, plays the fam ous role of Peer.
 Since his first success some years ago as Gavin Dishart in "The Little Minister" Cyril Maude has achieved not only wealth but also the repuIa- tion of being the finest character actor in the world. He owns the Playhouse, the most fashionable thea tre in London, and his many road at fractions make him one of the factors in theatrical affairs in Great Britain.
 MT. Maude enjoys probable a great CT social entree than any actor in the history of the English stage. and the reception rendered him on his return from his last American tour assumed the proportions of Sn ovation, cir constance all the more significant be cause the guests were drawn largely from the nobility and the peerage. He entertains lavishly and his town house at Cleveland Gadrens, Kensington, and his country place in Surrey always figure prominently during the season.
 For a man, then, of MT. Maude's eminence to be willing to go through what he went in Peer Gynt" speaks well for his craftsmanship. Jumping overboard in clothes and heavy boots in 8 heavy sea off the California coast, letting an American cowboy shoot a paddle out of his hands with rife at 10O yards. battling hand to hand in a swift mountain torrent with Nez Perce brave were but a : few of the strenuous exploits Mir ] Maude performed as Peer. Fortunate, ly the camercs caught 1t all.
