Result of Unusually Mild Winter— Consumption Has Risen Enormously. ; Fesidiy Vienna, May 11.—Natural ice caan- not be had in Vienna ‘this season on. account of the unusually. mild. winter. Ordinarily huge quantities of -ice ‘are cut from the dead arms eof thie Dan ube, just outside the city, but thers was none at all this year and'the city is entirely dependent upon the supply of artificial ice. The con- sumption has risen enormously, largely owing to the needs of the hospitals, and prices have thus far advanced to 40 cents for two hundred pounds as compared with 36 cents last year. The greatest difficulty is not in manufac- ture but in the delivery, as wagons and horses are scarce. Most of the regn- lar icemen also have gone into the army and their places are being taken by women who answer well enough as drivers but they are not strong enough to lift the blocks of ice out of the wagons.
