How to Build a Fire With
a Piece of Ice.

1t was an Arctic explorer who first
discovered that fire can be made
with a piece OF ice. Not that the ice
itself will burn. but through its aid 1t
is possible to start fire. 4 piece
OF ice smooth and clear and not too
large and pointed at one end. can be
held in such a position that it will
focus the suns rays. When these
rays are concentrated on a piece Of
gun cotton they will cause combus-
ton. thus starting a flame.
There is no record of paper being
ignited by this method. az a piece Of
ice in the desired size will melt be-
fore the necessary heat can be OBJ
tanned. But Arctic explorers have
employed the means described when
matches or flint were not to be had.

BRIDGEPORT LIKELY
TO ENTER HORSES IN
GRAND CIRCUIT RACES

Friendly rivalry between morse
owners in this city is bringing Nigh
bred horseflesh to Bridgeport, some
of which is expected to take part IN
the national trotting pastime when the
grand circuit meets are in session this
summer.
Reports that James Doolan, the
we'll known fancier Of horses, and that
William Stowe, who also flgures
prominently in former driving compe-
titions, have each purchased two trot-
tiers from blue ribbon stock IS con-
firmed in this city today.
Both owners now have their young
horses in trainers hands with the ex-
pectation that they will later develope
goo dmarks on. the turf. Irish-border,
a four year old, recently purchased by
Doolan, is expected to show good form
from the reports of checkers In New
Hampshire where the horse is now
undergoing preliminary workouts. An
other new horse purchased by DOC
Ian is Mary Skinner which comes
from a we'll know Albany, n.
stock farm.
Horsemen in this vicinity are
anxiously awaiting the time when
Jockeys wearing the cOlors of Stowe
and Doolan meet in open competition
