Tho wearer may look llko un arctic explorer who Iiuh boon blown In a lion, hut he will he an warm and snug an a believe the firemen tu*r suffering," said j Arthur ('. I'rico, fj/h marshal. "Ah a matter of fact, the Ice Ih the best pro tection again SI frigidity that the y fire men have. It shuts out the air and hermetically soals in the body's warmth. "It Ih practically impossible to keep from gotting coated with Ice at a win ter fire. Even if a fireman doesn't get in rango of tho nozzle or a broken hoso he is certain to get soaked with a line spray that AUh the air. Once this freezes he looks like an icicle, and is almost rts warm as a stove poker. "The only disadvantage is tho , weight, lie fools about as sprightly as a deep sea diver.

"Occasionally, whero firemen have ? to remain stationary for some time J while water pools about their feet, j they got frozen in and have to be] chopped out with axes. Do they feel I cold.? Not a bit of it. The ice keeps them warm. "It is a common thing for firemen to get back to tho stations and find themselves so crusted that they can't loosen their spanner bolt? or unbut- j ton thoir coats. In such cases other i flremon beat them with the flat part j of axes." Pity the sorrows of Caruso! Many people think of him as the most en viable of mortals, who gets his $2,500 a night ? or is It $2,500? ? with the maximum of pleasure and. the mini mum of exertion. How different is the reality ? as recently confided by the famous tenor to a sympathetic friend: "When I was unknown I sang like a bird, careless, without thought of nerves. But now my reputation 1b made my position is very different. Here I am today oppressed by a repu tation which cannot increase, but which the least vocal mishap may compromise. My audiences, well dis posed toward me as they are, have to pay such high prices to hear me that they imagine I am a unique! singer who must give them unheard ! of results. That is why I am often the unhappiest of men. I tell you frankly I was happior when I was earning ten francs a night. I spent seven francs, kept three, and knew that my reputation was not ruined if I happened to give a croak. Today ? !" And the great singer finished the sen tence with a groan. Yet how many self-sacrificing souls there are whe would be only too glad to take up Caruso's burden! Caruao's Grievance. Robins Got Drunk. "My father. Doctor Stevenson, was the first president of the Indiana state board of agriculture," said II. F. Stev enson. attorney, "and Henry Ward Beecher was the first treasurer. Our family lived In Putnam county, and father was kindly considerate of bird life. One January, which had a warm spell, father set me at work sorting apples, picking out the rotten ones, which I spread over a piece of ground as a fertilizer. A great flock of robins came down on those rotting apples as to a great feast. They were undergo ing the alcoholic change, and the birds got drunk. There was a big basketful of helpless drunkards, and the weather was turning cold. 'Henry,' said father, 'you gather up those robins and bring them In to a warm place. When they sober up you can let them go again, and they'll probably make their way South. It is unnecessary to say that his orders were obeyed." ? Indianap olis Star. Return to Medieval Times. Soldiers of Europe are taking up the methods of offense and defense used In the wars of medieval times. The : hand grenades, catapults, river ol ' flaming oil, mines and barricades are only a few of the old-time means re vived. Now armor is being used by the sol diers in protecting themselves from shrapnel nnd shell flro. These fight ers often must show themselves In exposed positions when scalins the mountains in making detours to Avoid fortified roads. 1 The soldier not only wears a heavy helme? with a steel breastplate, but he afso is well pro tected from the weather by a heavy knitted scarf which almost entirely covers his head. Five Bird# to Every Man. Do you know that there are about Are Vlrds to every human being in the United States? This fact was ascertained recently by the government. The gigantic task of counting the number of birds In its borders was carried on by lor em of the feathered tribe all over the country, and It revealed the fact that there were about 250,000 pairs of birds, or about a pair to the acre. Each bird counted was responsible for an area of land not leaa than forty acre#, and not more than eighty acres In extent, and the cenatis only includ ed the birds nesting In that area.
