It simply p cannot do what it would like to do for the people ‘Take this season, for instance, Never has clearer, harder ice been harvested in such huge quantities—six million tons of it. But soe what a misfortune for the Ice Trust. The ice is so | hard and good that the Trust really deserves sympathy for having to cut it at all. ‘Then there is so much of it that 25,000 men have to be employed to take care of it, and the impoverished Trust is expected to pay these men for their work. Anybody can see that if the ice this season hed been thin and enewy and scarce, the Trust might have realised next summer its long, fond hope of lowering prices. As things are it expects to have to bear even the cruel disappointment of raising them. The President of the Ice Trast said the other day: "I have nothing to say about any part of the ice business to Cd The public fo despty grateful for this herols refusal to let its {ender aympathics be harrowed by « sad, sad story of struggle and oiidene, he — GHOSTS ARE REAL. answering voice across a thousand miles ts tie Iatest ac- complishment of wireless telephony. Tests on the Pacific Coast have reached a point where conversation and even phon- tausio have been exchanged between the shore and e steamer &@ thousand miles at ses. And these experiments are only the be- Beyond the wonders of wireless telegraphy are the possibilities of wireless telephony. When the human voice can be sent out into spaco in all directions without wire, to be caught by ears thousands o? miles away, when presently ell the eir may be quiverng with millions of soundless words and phrases winging their way from New York to Berlin and from Paris to Buenos Ayres, science will fairly have outdone spiritualism. What an immensity of fresh material for novel and stage. Suppose some day every one is connected by wireless with pretty much everything. Suppose receivers are made to collect larger and larger bodies of sound. Suppose in one’s sitting-room in Manhattan one could listen to the dull roar of the traffic in the Strand, or the rush of automobiles across the Place de la Concorde, or hear mass in St. Peter's. What thrilling complications could follow from overhearing other people's messages, mistaking voices, or from machines devised to tap the air and intercept messages! Or suppose the phonographed voice of a friend long dead were suddenly by some accident borne to one’s ear from the other side of the earth. What a tremendous help fo thought-transference and messages from the spirit world! Wireless telephony is going to be spooky enough for Mar‘e fo WINTRY SEAS. NEW KIND of storm is reported by the captain of a German Publishing Company, Nos, 68 to York. ss and the Continent en@ Corelli herself. A steamer just arrived in New York, after a hard trip from Cuba. He describes it as a chaos of wind and sky and sea, with the waves following one another #0 quickly that the ship had| no time to roll to one before she was tossed by another. Gallons of oil had no effect on them. It may have been something really new, but it is easier to beliove that it was the rough edge of ono, or tho mix up of two or three of the same old kind. Storms in the Atlantic havo been pretty well observed in the course of the last four hundred years and their habits seem to have changed very little. It would ba needlessly trying to the traveller's nerve to think he might sud- dealy be confronted with something quite new and terrible. People who have been through it eay the most appalling expe- rience of the kind is to be caught in the centre of a cyclonic storm. With the wind blowing eighty miles an hour all around, one lies in a dead alm with the sea heaving up in huge, aimless lumps on all sides. Few sailing ships have ever got through, Storms on the North Atlantic this season have heen as severe as usual. It will be known as the stormiest winter—unti] next year. -+—-——____ MAN in New Jersey put snowballs under his hens to discour- A age theni when they wanted to set.
