New Theory Of Ice Transportation.

New Theory Of Ice Transportation.
A novel theory of ice transporta-
ton has been suggested to the London
Geological society by F. Debenham. In
South Victoria land deposits of marine
mud exist on the surface of floating
'land ice" in deep bays of the Ross
sea, and are found on land up to a
height of 200 feet. The ice sheet ap-
pears to lose from annual melting on
the surface while annual freezing
causes it to grow from below. 1t is
believed that in severe seasons the ice
sheet freezes to the bottom, taking up
portions of the sea floor, and this
gradually rises to the surface, while
the ice float transports it to other To-
calitieS

STRANGE VISITORS TO INDIANS
ssvzses Not unnsturaIiy Alarmed When Alrmen Dropped In" to
 Their Village.

Army aviators stationed at France held, near Cristobal, in the Panama canal zone, are required to do much of their flying over water and along the coast. Recently two pilots nude flight to the Gulf of St. Bias, which Is situated on the Atlantic coast about one hundred miles west of France field. The mainland and small islands in the gulf are inhabited by Indians, who are very unfriendly.
 Due to the overheating of a motor one of the pilots was compelled to de- scend, and landed on one of the most poDulous of the islands. His compnn- ion in the second airplane followed him. Consternatlon reigned among thev natives when the two airplanes "tax- led" up to the dugout village and came to & halt. What followed Is described In the bulletin of the air service which contains an official report of the trip
 Tt Is doubtful who was the most fearful on this occasion, for when theI begoggled pilots alighted from thelrl machines the entire population of thel island was lined up, armed to the teeth. The chief of the village very reluct-I antly took his place at the head of thisI aggregation and with a machete in his1 hand greeted the visitors with a scowl-
 "One of the pilots was new arrival iu Panama and unfamiliar with storiesl about the unfrlendlIness of the Indians. As soon as he stepped on the beach hel rushed up and greeted the chief in al very effusive manner, and fortunately his friendly smile was properly inter- preted. After this the pilots were per mitted to go through the village, and by way of courtesy the chief was ask ed by means of signs to take a ridez In one of the airplanes, which Invita- ton was not accepted"
 The pilots tried to take pictures of the Indians, but the appearance of the camera aroused such hostility that they finally gave up the attempt. Befort leaving the village the chief and few of the young men were induced tc smoke cigarettes which the aviator, produced.

CASH FROM TRASH
What One Careful Housewife Dis
 covered.

Quite as thrilling a story as any Luther Burbank has to tell was told by Mrs. Edmund M. Parker at re- cent meeting of the Cambridge, Mass branch of the Special Aid Society for American Preparedness. Besides be- ing chairman of the Speakers Bureau of the Special Aid, Mrs. Parker holds the same office in the Savings Divi- sion of New England. It was in this latter capacity that she had secured Mrs. F. l.. Higginson, director Of the division, and Mrs. H. Parker Whit tington. director of the Salvage Bureau which has been organized for the Division, to address the previous meeting of the Special Aid.
 Now Mrs. Parker is a good house. keeper, but after she listened to those two speakers she went home and set to work. Old newspapers and lot of pasteboard boxes, in one of which was a collection of old calling cards saved from the days before there was a Social Register, and magazines too old to be given to anybody, were hcr first finds" In the basement were boxes of rusty nails, several hand bells. old bicycle chains, padlock3 and keys that fitted nothing.
 Everything was gathered together and then a Salvage" card was put in the window. Soon there was q call from an excited junkman, who said the Salvage Bureau told him he was to pay for junk with Thrift Stamps whenever he saw that sign. He offered thirty cents for sixty old bottles; the zinc in an old ice box brought ten cents. In all he left S1 worth of Thrift Stamps behind him. Encouraged Mrs. Parker searched her bookcases, and harvested $11.7E from them. A box of discarded and broken silver brought $10.5S, and by the additional investment of Liberty Bond coupons Mrs. Parker secured in one month $44 in Thrift and War l Savings Stamps.
 Because of associations an old watch had been kept, but now the country needs the gold, and what would not be given over for personal | gain is to be offered upon the altar | of a country's need. When the youth of the nation gave freely of their | lives, it is a small thing, Mrs. Pa~lser says, to give to that same cause arti- cles which have outlived their useful ness and are mere reminders of days that are past.
