ICE PATROL IS NEVER IDLE
Coast Guard Unit Constantly at Work
Broadcasting Information as
to Ocean Conditions.
nes
Describing the work of the ice pa-
trol which was organized and placed
under United States management by
international agreement in 1913, an
authority says:
“A continuous patrol is maintained
by two United States coast guard cut-
ters capable of keeping the sea in all
kinds of weather. Each one alter-
nately takes a two weeks’ tour of
duty and is then relieved by the other.
When one of these ice scouts ap-
proaches the ice region, it collects all
information from nearby vessels and
proceeds to search the area south of
latitude forty-three for signs of ice,
and broadcasts information as to the
limits of the ice to all approaching
vessels. In connection with this scout-
ing duty, the ice patrol secures scien-
tific observations relating to the ice
area and forwards daily reports to the
weather bureau.”
One of the things brought out by
the evidence gathered by these ves
sels, he stated, is that there is no
truth in the old idea that the cold
Labrador current flowing south dives
under the warmer Gulf stream mov-
ing northeast and comes up again to
the southward. When these two ocean
currents meet, he claims, the Labrador
current is arrested, them turned to-
ward the Gulf stream and finally
pulled along in an easterly flow
parallel to it.
CHEATED OF JUST REWARD
Oldtime English Inventor Unable to
Get Recognition and Died
Broken-Hearted.
It seems always to have been true
that a pioneer of any invention which
is afterward tv become indispensable
must suffer misfortune, and perhaps
even perish, before his creation can
win the recognition it deserves,
This was the case with the steel
loom for knitting stockings, invented
in the Sixteenth century by William
Lee.
Lee took his invention to Queen
Elizabeth, but she withheld her
patronage. Again he improved his
machine, so that it would knit silk
stockings—the queen’s love of silk
hosiery had been one of her chief rea-
sons for disinterest—but again he was
American Indians Attached Immense
Importance to the Ceremony That
Accompanied Its Smoking.
The smoking of the “Pipe of Peace”
among the American Indians was a
ceremony attended with great solem-
nity. The peace pipe, called by the
French the calumet, was treated with
great reverence and was brought out
only upon the most important occa-
sions, such as the making of peace
treaties, the reception of a distin-
guished stranger with whom the tribe
wished to be upon good terms. If the
occasion did not bring forth the pipe
of peace, it was a sign of hostility.
To refuse to smoke it when offered
was a cause of offense. The calumet
was between two and three inches
long, and the stem rather than the
bowl was the object of the Indian's
reverence. The stem was of reed,
artistically decorated with women’s
hair or eagle's quills. Among the
western tribes the pipe bowl was of
red catlinite, a fine-grained stone of
deep red color found in Coteau des
Prairies, west of Big Stone lake, in
South Dakota. The Indians of the
South and East made the bowl of
white stone pierced with several holes
so that several stems could be used at
the same time. The calumet quarries
were regarded as neutral ground
among the warring tribes and there
were many sacred traditions connect-
ed with these spots.
FURTHER HINTS ABOUT MEN
It Would Seem That Writer Has
Given Pretty Thorough Considera-
tion to the Subject.
“There never was a man too near-
sighted to see the look of admiration
in a pretty woman's eyes.”
“A good woman inspires a man, a
brilliant woman interests him, a beau-
tiful woman fascinates him—but the
considerate woman gets him.”
“When it comes to making love, a
girl can always listen so much faster
than a man can talk.”
“Love, the quest; marriage, the con-
quest; divorce, the inquest.”
“Most 1aarriages, nowadays, seem
built for speed rather than for endur-
ance.”
“There are only two kinds of per-
fectly faultless men—the dead and
the deadly.”
“One reason why a man’s life is so
much fuller than a woman's is because
he sperids nearly three quarters of it
in hunting up things for a woman to
do.”
“A widow's chief consolation in re-
marrying is probably that she finds it
less exhausting to sit up and wait for

literature, art and all life, he says that
this genius speaks “from the very
center of the onion.” This may mean
that the man has pungent and pene-
trating views. It may mean to convey
that his ideas carry far, in the spirit
of what George Eliot wrote about
“the waftings of that energetic bulb.”
In any event, the appearance of this

minder of what all those who desire
to be “in the movement” have to keep
up with. Possibly we have here the
dim beginnings and adumbrations, we
may say odors, of a new and revolu-
tionary onion philosophy.

Blind Spots.
The world has its “blind spots” for | mmc mr —— sani
thunder and lightning, says a bulletin
of the National Geographic society.
The brilliant flash of lightning and
the crackle and rumble of thunder
would be as impossible of conception
by many Eskimos as would “solid wa-
ter” by equatorial savages.
In general the frequency of thunder-
storms decreases as one goes north,
until within the Arctic and Antarctic
Circles they seldom occur,
When Katmai volcano, on the Alas-
kan peninsula, erupted in 1912, some
of the adult natives of the vicinity
were more terrified at the lightning
and thunder that accompanied the
dust clouds than at the possibility of
being buried by ash, because they had
nothing in their lifelong experience by
which te judge the blinding and deaf-
ening noise from the skies.

Fortunes Made in Few Minutes.
If a song “catches on” it proves a
gold mine to somebody, although not
always to the author and composer.
“Alexander's - Ragtime Band,” and
“Her Golden Halr is Hanging Down
Her Back” were moneymakers, for the
profits in each case fell little short of
£20,000.
In the same class must be added
such songs as “The Bogey Man,” “In |
the Shade of the Old Apple Tree,” and
“After the Ball.” It is said, too, that
“My Pretty Jane,” which Sims Reeves
sang thousands of times, netted £2,000
a line.
Yet some of these best sellers have
been the result of but a few minutes’
actual work. “Sing Me to Sleep” was
composed in ten minutes. Tosti’s
“Dear Heart” was the work of two
days, while Balfe wrote “Killarney” in
a few minutes.—London Tit-Bits.

Luminous Paints.
The iuminous ingredient in paints is
usually either calcium sulphide, barium
or strontium carbonate or sulphate, or
mixtures of these chemicals may be
used. An example of a luminous paint,
giving a violet, is as follows: 100 parts
of strontium carbonate, 100 parts of
sulphur, 0.5 parts each of potassium
chloride and sodium chloride, 0.4 parts
manganese chloride. These are heated
an hour to 75 minutes to about 2,372
degrees F. The paint is prepared by
mixing this with pure iinseed oll.

was sitting at the curb one day when
Mrs. H., across the street, was back-

ing out from his side of the car.
“Am I going all right, sonny?” Mrs,
H. asked.
“Yes, you're all right,

“I want to be careful and not hit

you do, mother; t's their old one”
