There are far too many weaklings
in existance today, mental and physi

too full of lapses and failures and
incompetents; we need all the saving
methods that can be devised and
maintained to obviate the retrogres
sion; to build anew the energies and
capacities that make for constant and
genuine success.

be ready on all sides for both these

STRAWBERRIES PLENTIFUL.
NEW YORK, April 24.-A glut in
the strawberry market within a few
weeks time is' the prediction of deal
ers in fruit here who say that New
Yorkers will in all probability be
able to eat all the good strawberries
they want at 6 tents a quart or per
haps five. Reports from growers of
the berries in Virginia, Delaware and
New Jersey are that the on-coming
crop of berries is better than for
many seasons and that a larger acre
age, has been devoted to the fruit.

In hot India, where every day In the
year the resident gets all the heat he
wants, there are four or Ove months
ot the year November to March-
when the uL'lits. although never reach-
Imr even to frostiness, can be mnde to
produce mnny tons of Ice In tho open.
The He da n which the Ice la mane
are low, flat and open, and the Ice Is
nrodueed In larce lots when the tem
perature or the air is 13 degrees or
20 degrees V. above the congealing
point, writes L. Lodlan In the Scientific
American. The methoa practiced is au

Yet this same Ice forming process has
been utilized in India since t&e ages
that are "lost In the night of time." and

The Ice plot is a rectangular piece
of ground, say. 130 feet long by 30
broad, runulug In an easterly and west
erly direction. The soil Is removed to
a depth of a couple of feet Thla ex
cavation when mnde is smoothed and
then allowed to remain exposed to the
torrid rays of the sun to dry; then rice
straw lu small sheaves is laid iu an
oblique direction in the hollow, with
loose straw on the top to the depth of
a foot and a half, leaving its surface
..if tnnt lwlow that of the ground.
vnmornna tods of this kind are form
ed the ensemble constituting the ice
rmuith narrow gldewalks between
them, in which here and there large
covered earthen water jars are sunn
in tho emund for the convenience of
having water near by to All the shallow
earthen vessels in whwn it is to oe
frozen. These dishes are nine mcnes
in dinmptor at the ton. diminishing to
five Inches at the bottom, one and one-
half inches deep and one-quarter men
thirk. and are so porous as to soon De-
come moist throughout when water is
placed In them.
vchen evenine comes the shallow
earthenware pans are placed in rows
upon the litter, and by means or nnie
burned tilt pots secored to the ends of
lengthy bambusa canes each pan is
half filled with water. The quantity
nevertheless varies according to tho
inectation of ice. The natives cani
forecast that by the aspect of the heav
ens and the evenness with wnten xne
air currents come from the northwest.
Thore are about 6.000 plates in each
of the beds, and the ice yield will av
erage a quarter pound from each disn.
In the coo season when the tempera
ture of the air at the Ice fields is un
der 50 degrees F. and there are gentle
breezes from the north and west direc
tions Ice appears In a night In oil of the
shallow pans. Native watchers are on
the lookout to note when a thin film
appears on the water In the pans, when
tho contents of several are mixed to
gether and sprinkled over the other
dishes. This method augments the
freezing action.
Stagnation has teen discovered by
the natives to diminish the quantity of
ice produced. When the firmament is
entirely clear, with zephyr currents
from the northwest, the congelation
begins before or about midnight and
continues to advance till morning.
when the thickest ice is formed. It is
often an Inch thick, and sometimes the
whole contents of the dish are frozen

The ice dishes present a large moist
external surface to the air currents.

lowerlnz of the temperature. The wa
ter which percolates through the po
rous trays exposes so large a surrace
to the breeze that It is promptly fro
zen. In addition to the evaporative
effect we also have the Influence of
heat insulation to fall back upon in
explaining the phenomenon.
The thick layer- or dry straw in xne
ice beds forms a large surface which
Is a Door conductor of heat. The heat
can penetrate lt a little way into it
during the day. So soon as tne sun
eta sets this large and powerfully ra
diating surface Is brought Into action
and affects the water In the thin, po
rous pans, themselves strong radiators.
Some of the natural "ice farms" or
Bengal produce in a single night over
ten tons of ice, employing 300 persons
of all sizes and ages, and the early
morning harvesting of the ice by these
lithe gentry darting about is one 5f the
few animated scenes worth noting in
the Ganges region.
