Aeroplanes for sighting icebergs and icefields, to enable a ship to steer cleat of them, are being seriously consid ered by a Norwegian steamship com pany that has mnuy difficulties from Ice. The steumers of the lino ply tc Siberian ports by an Arctic ocean route, which Is badly blocked by ice floes fn some seasons. Under the present, method, when floes are sighted by the lookout, the steamer has to cruise back and forth until It finds a way through or around the floes, and much time is thus lost. The proposal Is. to lmve an aero plane on each steamer and to have one of tho jcrew trained to fly. When ice Is sighted the aeroplane would go uj and the airman could ip many In stances see that In a certain direction the water was clear, or perhaps even determine the entire extent of the floes. His report would then enable the captain to fix the shortest route round the obstruction. Methods of launching an aeroplane from the deck of a vessel are still Im perfect, and other obvious difficulties appear; but the company has the Idea In mind and hopes it may find it feas ible. Cook's Revenge. In the peaceful quietude of a sum mer evening, a red-faced' cook pul her head out of the window of a sub* urban house and shouted: "Thieves I Police I" at the top' of her lungs. Instantly all was confusion. The neighbors left their houses, and a per spiring policeman came reluctantly up the steps of an area opposite und com menced a search for the foarauders. But not a soul could he find. Every* thing In the house was in opple-pie or der, and, after looking about for some time, he left in disgust. _ "Martha, why In the world did you give that false alarm?" her mistress asked heir afterwards. i. "To have toy revenge on the police* man, ma'am," Martha candidly con fessed. "The brute's thrown me over for the cook across ttye wayr. and / he was just sitting down to supper there when I called out 'Police I' and made him run.
