asked him how the hotel got the ice
inside the water bottles.
He explained in three methods. He
said first that small piece of ice
from five-cent restaurant nearby
was pushed through the neck or the
bottle and the bottle was then
brought into the Astor. When the
ice realized where it was, it swelled
up with pride.
The second reason given was that
young man from Iceland gave the
water cold look through the neck
OF the bottle each day until It froze.
The third was that the hotel sends
several million bottles to the river
when the weather is below zero and
when the water freezes inside the
bottles are placed in cold storage
until wanted.

Modern IzaaC Walton Uses
Electric Lights as Aid in
Making Raid on Finny Tribe

Luring fish by electricity is simply a
new and very efficient stunt To which a
few batteries and an electric light may
be applied. In Il recent patent for this
purpose an inventor has provided a de-
vice, which is intended 10 induce timld
fish TO venture from their hiding places
in drifts, into the open water, where
they may be easily caught by the pa
tent and persistent fisherman, says
the Electrical Experimenter.
The device consists merely of an
electric lamp incased in a strong glass
container, a float to regulate the depth
of the glass, a coil of wire and q few
batteries TO energize the lamp. The
wires are insulated from the water by
a length Of rubber tubing and the bat
terieS stored in a portable box on
shore. The fleXlbllity of the tubing,
however, does not permit it 20 bend IN
der the stress of flowing water. A
small switch mounted on the outside
of the box completes or opens the cir
cult to the lamp at viii.
When the fisherman is ready for OPP
erations he sets his float at the proper
place and drops the lamp into the wa
ter. He then allows. his line to hang
alongside the lamp ad proceeds to
make himself comfortable. The fish
soon crowd around to view the cleo
trical display and when one attempts
to relieve the hook of Its bait, the
angler pulls him in. After all of the
hsh at one place have been drawn from
their hiding places, the fisherman turns
off his light and draws 1t shoreward.
The tubing is now coiled and placed
with the lamp and float in the box con-
tanning the batteries and. picking up
his box and fishing tackle, the merry
angler proceeds 10 invade another
choice spot where the fish have as yet
not been introduced to the wonders of
electricity.

which did me so much good. It also
saved my daughters life when she

Woman at the Gate.

Differences of opinion regarding the
meaning of the woman at the open
gate, on one of the new United States
silver pieces, are numerous. One wri-
ter has it that she is out looking for
the children who had promised not to
"stir from the yard" another that she
is looking for the coming man; anoth-
er that she came out to see the new
furniture a neighbOr across the road
is getting in, and so on. OF course,
what IT really means is that, in this
progressive twentieth century woman
is emerging from cramped environment
into larger opportunity. There is elo-
quent symbolism in the woman at the
open gate.-Christian Science Monitor.

How "Rubbers" Were Produced.

"Rubbers," as Americans have
named them, were the invention of
Charles Goodyear, father of the man
who helped produce the Goodyear welt
machine. In 1888 it was found that
India rubber, dissolved in turpentine
and mixed with lampblack, would give
n waterproof surface to leather. But
the leather so treated was subject to
atmosphere changes, heat causing it to
melt and cold to crack. Mr.. Goodyear
mixed sulphur with the other com
bination and produced rubber.
