Aeroplanes to Guide Ships.

AeropIaneS for sighting icehcrgS and
lrotlcldS tn enable Il ship to steer clear
Of them, are being seriously consid-
cred by Il Norwegian steamship com
pany that has many difficulties from
lee. The steamers of the line ply TO
siberian ports by an Arctic ocean
route, which is badly blocked by ice
Hoes in some seasons.
Under the present method when
foes are sighted by the lookout, the
STEINER has to cruise back and forth
until il finds Il way through or around
the tiocs. and much time is thus lost.
The proposal is Ia have an aero
plane ou each steamer and to have one
of the crew trained Ia fly. When ice
is sighted the ucroplaue would 90 up
and the airman could in many in
stances see that in certain direction
the water was clear, or perhaps even
determine III" entire extent of the

the captain to fix the shortest route

GYPSIES WHO LIVE ON rlATER
Fifty Thousand Nomads, 1t Has Been

The lower Mississippi river is one OF

early autumn, people who dread the

leave Ohio and upper Mississippi river

1t is said there are more than fifty
thousand miles of navigahle streams

the Shanty boaters, who dwell in vari-
Gus ways on The rivers and rubbing

there are large numbers of SportSmen
and temporary residents afloat in mo-
tor boats and houSehoats, making a
population of perhaps one hundred
thousand, not including the steam
bOaterS," who scorn the shanty boat

Between the two classes of river
people is feud that dates from the
old keelboat days, when steam power
deprived the huge rowboats of their
