Adventures of a Piano.

An Englishman bought an upright
piano at an auction sale - years ago
for $50. 1t was, Of curse, second
hand. For n time IT was used in
provincial kindergarten. 1t went to
London and bad constant use. When
the war broke out it retired to ii re-
pository and did not see the light again
until last month. Last month maker
of pianos called TO see it, and offered
$50 for it. The next day man who
overhauled it said he could get $3.50
for it cash down. The day after that
q tuner considered 1t worth $500. The
story Is a striking illustration OF
changing values. :

Once arrived in that region of open

months before going to pieces. Large
bergs have on occasions got as far as
the Azores, which are slightly south
of the latitude of Philadelphia.
A sizeable berg may have nearly
vertical walls 100 feet high, with pin
nacles towering to twice or thrice that
elevation. Often these floating noun
tains of ice have very fantastic shapes.

not seem TO bother the bergs much.
but the projectiles broke off quite a

were lowered to fetch it aboard.
Our government, after the disaster
to the Titanic, which was destroyed
by collision with an iceberg In 1912,
accepted from the other maritime nas

perils in the region Of the grand banks
and since then we have regularly
maintained what is called an "ice pa

SET OUT FROM GREENLAND
Immense Masses of Ice So Dangerous
to Ocean Vessels All Have Their
Origin There.

IF one looks at an ordinary map,
one is surprised to find that Green
land is considerably bigger than South
America. Which illustrates the dis
tortion of the Mercator projection. In
asmuch as South America Is actually
about six times the size of Greenland.
All the same, Greenland is the big
gest island in the world, and once upon
time it must have been a pleasant
place to live in. Plant fossils found
there prove that anciently IL had
tropical climate.
But II must have been very long
time ago, for today nearly the whole
of Greenland is covered by an ice
sheet with an average thickness OF
1000 feet. From a mountain range
two miles high most of the great
island slopes downward and westward
toward Baffin bay and Davis strait.
and so the ice sheet is continually
moving in that direction.
OFF the west coast are numerous
islands and, as the ice sheet forces its
way between them, 1t is ripped 70
pieces. Huge fragments drop or, form
ing what we call icebergs, and are set
afioat in the sea. An average speci-
men is eight or ten times the size OF
the capitol at Washington.
What happens to an individual ice
berg after that depends upon acci-
dental circumstances. 1t may run
ashore ON Baffin island 1.-THE west side
of Davis strait or on the coast OF
Labrador, farther south. II 1t ESCAPES
this fate, its passage southwark
through the strait will be very slow,
because 1t must pillow its way through

With the limit handicap Of five minutes
to aid him Archie Pohring, of the Morn
ingside A.C-. led home thirty barriers in
the five mile handicap road race of the
Harlem Heights Athletic League yester-

Handicapped treated him so literally, be-
cause he tired toward the end and had
only ten yards to spare when he breasted
the tape. Joseph Magee, cluhmate of
Pohring, who conceded one minute and
fifteen seconds to the winner, closed very
fast in the final mile and made up a lot
of ground, but not enough to earn him
first prize.

by snow and because of the uncertain
footing several of .he contestants fell
All escaped injury except Philip zahiu-
dofsky, of the Morningside A.C., who suf-

Frank Titterton, of the Glencoe AC-, the

the fast time prize. The honor eventually
went to Titterton. who covered the course
in 3lm. SSs., or two seconds faster than

There are lot OF persons who are OF the
opinion that Jack Dempsey would add q
whole lot to his popularity " he would
agree TO give Fred Fulton another chance
st the heavyweight championship. Many
of those who saw the twenty-three second
Knockout which the present champion ad-
minsstered TO the big plasterer from Min
nssota cannot be convinced that the
runchc was not more or less lucky
one. and that in a return bout Dempsey
would not have things all his own way.
There may have been some truth In the
confession of Fulton that he faxed in the
minds of many. of the fans, and the best
way for Dempsey to clear matters UP is
TO meet Fulton In the ring once more and
settle things definitely
Even IL Dempsey should decisively de-
feat the winner Of the Carpentier-Beckett
fight for the championship of the world,
he will always have Fulton clamoring at
hin, for a bout until the time when new
champion in the course of time Is crowned.
