ICE KEEPS FIREMFN WARM
The Thicker the C-jatinp of the Con
gealed Fluid the Better the
Wearer Will Feel,
Want an overcoat t hut will shut out
tho chill potter than tui or chinchMl#*
Then got draped in a suit of it's
tho latest. winter ap^rol, tmiMs worn
at conflagration fii!K tioHR T>y members
of the Minneapolis Itro department,
??)? the Journal ot thut city.
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. Sojnetlmos the j
loo on his hat will be an inch thick j
or more.
"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

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.
