The strike of the ke-wagon drivers caused discomfort as great if not greater than the strike of the garbage men. And yet the common use of ice and the dependence .upan it for many summer comforts is quite recent in the United States and is hardly at afl known in Europe except where Americans have brought the ice habit with them. - * The whole of France uses le¢ss ice than New York City. In Germany outside the line of Ameri- can travel ice is hardly. used at all. It is the same:in “England, and in ireland few private houses have ice. : Ice is used for two general purposes—one to make water.cold to drink and the other to preserve food. The ice-water “habit is also confined to American cities and to American hotels abroad. Ice water is not cooling. Gulping it down increases the thirst. Its use “iS a bad habit. Spring water is*more thirst-quenching than ice water, without the throat-parching which’ ensues from taking too much Ice water at a time. Water cooled by being put in a porous jar and exposed to a draught of wind is also more thirst-quenching. A little knowledge of physics teaches how to keep beverages cool 4n warm weather without ice.. Evaporation is always cooling. A damp “cloth is cool. Any porous vessel tends to evaporate Its fluid contents. By putting water in 2 porous jar and wrapping a damp cloth around it the temper ~can-be-materially reduced.— Sat ” ‘The temperature under ground varies little through the year. Where “water-pipes are sunk deep enough to be below the frost line they are “dso déep enough to be below the heat line, and water freshly drawn from is as cool as any one could desire to.drink it. By having a supply ‘such water trickle through a tub in which food and drink are put in , cans and hotties, their temperature will also be reduced. NAN d AS Z = iD People could-get along with a great deal less ice if. they would ge their refrigerators differently. Cold air is heavier than warm just.as cold water is heavier than warm water. ‘The principle of a Pretrigerator is that the air in the ice chamber at the top becomes cold Fand flows by gravity into the food chambers below, thereby cooling their contents and then circulating back over the ice. AY @amper the air is in a refrigerator the greater the waste of ice. Plugging he drip pipe or putting in cloths which hold the water wastes the icc “instead of saving it. The important features of any refrigerator are that! thole refrigerator should be well insulated to minimize the loss of) cold by ‘radiation, and that'the doors should be kept shut tight so that #s-no direct loss of cold by the escape: of chilled air. et Most people open the refrigerator doors and let them stand open! ten. Opening a refrigerator door lets out the cold air more quickly the taking out of a bung would fet out the fluid contents of a barrel. To 1st the door stand open a minute ans the melting of several pounds ‘of ice before the temperature is ‘lowered again. Every time the door ° is opened the cooled air in that com- ‘partment escapes. The longer it is ‘open the greater is the loss of ice. Most refrigerators would go without filling for several days in fiot weather were they kept tightly closed. A. little planning should inimize the number of times the doors are opened and the length of} me they stay open. ce =~ If fathers and mothers would-borrow thelr children’s school physics and spend an evening reading the chapters on freezing, humidity and) ‘evaporation, the family ice bill would be cut in two.

D, They had one son, who was later destined to rule ‘most of the world. As years went on Constantius ross high ip court favor, and at last, In 292, was chosen one of the several Caesars (or Emperors) among whom the government of the mighty Roman Empire was divided. While this meant glory for Constantius {t also meant disgrace for Helena. For one of the conditions of his new rank was that he should divorce his low-born wife and marry Theodosia, the daughter of one of his fellow-Caesars. Helena made no protest against this cruel turn of fortune. She did. not seek to have the order sct aside or to claim her rights. She had ahared Constant{us’s tess fortunate days. Since she was not to share his reward she submitted meekly to .the Enipire's decree! For years after this time she vanished almost entirely from history’s pages. only to re appear with brighter lustre and new fame. At the .t{me ‘Constantius divorced Helena, their son, Flavias Constan Une, was @ lad of eighteen. He sympathized entirely with his mother im the domestic rupture, and would doubtless have shared her. loneliness: and exile, but the political situation forced him to remain for the time at the @ A capital as hostage for his father’s good be The Ma TARR ~~~ P bavior.

On his-father’s death the troops clamored for Constantine's election to the vacant throne and he became one of the six Emperors. His first act was to restore his mother to her rights, to surroung her with every luxury and to confer on her the title of Augusta (Empress.) He moreover consulted her as to nearly all his great plans, and the succeas of many of these was directly due to Helena’s influence. She had become converted to Christianity and now sought to win her son over to the new creed. Little by little she succeeded. While still {n doubt as to whether or not he should renounce the worship of the old gods for the gentler faith of Christ, an unexpected event decided him. ~ ‘ He had no wish to rule Rome as one of six Caesars. So, one by one, ne overcame his five colleagues, and at last, in 325, was sole Emperor of the ctvittzed world. During one of his campaigns, when the uture looked darkest, he\saw in the midday sky a blazing croes and beneath it the words: “In This Sign You Shall Conquer.” He accepted the yision as a command from heaven, and forthwith became a Ohristian, Whether he really saw the flaming cross and the words, or whether his mother’s teachings had se worked on his mind as to cause the Illusion, the result was the same. The Christians, who in former reigna hat been terribly persecuted, were now allowed political and religious freedom, and churches were built for ; them at Constantine's expense. The doom of paganism had set in. The Empire and its ruler were Christianized. And with Christianity came progress. Turning his back on Rome, Constantine built a new capital, being di- rected thither, he belfeved, in answer to prayer. This capital was knowm as Constantinople (or “Constantine's City”). z Helena was an old woman by this time. But in her seventy-ninth year she visited Jerusalem in search of Christ‘s tomb. The Holy City had so ne Tepeatedly been burned and rebuilt and captured i The Finding of | and recaptured that nearly every old landmark ‘was swept away. Helena almost despaired of the Holy Sepulchre. } nding any trace of the Sepulchre. At last Some old writers say she was guided thither in a dream;\ others that she was led there by an aged man in whose family the ‘secret of the location had been preserved. After digging through mounds of debris a tomb is sald to have been found cut in a rock and near it three crosses. Over this spot Helena built a great church—the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. In later centuries the correctness of the site has sometimes been disputed.But Helena’s act served then to afd the rising-power of Christian- ity, even as her persuasions had in earlier years influenced) her son, and, through him, the whole world in favor of the fuitb. f Negt Article: “Theodora, the Clrees Girl Who Raled an Empire.
