Strange as it may seem, Iceland has run short of ice, and urgent requests for immediate ehipments of that com- modity have been sent to Norway. Herring fishing, Iceland's principal industry, is in grave danger, as ice is required for packing •the fish, which are -exported in large quantities. This --tee shortage has been caused by an 'extraordinarily mild winter. On tile north coast of the island there is ice without limit, but Diego is no means of transporting it to the dis- tricts whereit is required. Hence the urgent appeals for shipments of ice from other parts in order to 'save the herring industry. Mlnard's Liniment' used by Physicians, 1When Does a Man Fail?

In fact, snobbery in the l'io•yal Family is a thing -of, the past, and when you look for snobs you have to look far below them. The Duke of York sent this message the other day to some four Inutdrod boys camping at New _Romney as li•ls gueusts "Tell: them to enjoy themselves, and that I shall come -down and see thresa. next Tuesday at tliesoamp and a couple of days wittinliielle.-411*` they are not having a good limo, I shall jolly well want to know the rea- sonImwaghlyn; a Royal Fri‘nce sending a message of thiskind in the goocle aide days! Then it might have commenced in something after this style: "We charge ye minions to enjoy yourselves, and, to, bear smiling visages.when we honour ye with our presence. If there be scowling faces among ye, ye shall all be beheaded!-" Giant Gyroscopes Stabilize Ocean Liners. " ,a Many a dizzy -and. distracted trans- atlantic passenger who has clung feverishly to the banisters when the good ship,relled.in the trough. of the sea has, prayed feryently frothe bot- tom of his well-shakee heart that said good ship would meekly tie up to ISOMO stout- hitching' posts in mid -ocean and let him sip his evening soup 13.1 peace. His fervent prayer has been answered. The theory of the modern' ship stabilizer Calls into play the character- istic of the rapidly whirling gyroscope to maintain its axis of spin or plane of rotation rigidly in any direction. Whea the powerful action of the waves tends to roll the ship, the,spin- ning gyroscope, being dislodged from its vertical plane of rotation, at once opposes this rolling action by an equal force,'. The big wheel tilts in the pro- per direction, fore or aft, in a plane at Sight angles to the disturbance. Prac- tically -all of 'the power used to stabi- lize the vessel comes from the very -waves that are. creating the -disturb- ance. ,In 8theer words, the vessel is, ,nitimatelyestabilized by .the vegyefeyee, that tries*.to-roll it, ' ,The'gyroscope which furnishes 'the reactional power consists of a '--cast- ,steel wheel, or rotor, mounted in suit- able' bearings to carry 'it reaction through the steel casing and gudgeons to.thevessel. -In all experiments', with the exception of thele for the largest battleships,- one 'wheel mounted with vertical axi.4 was sufficient to control the motion ofthe vessel. The gyro .wheel is run by a simple alternating -current, squirrel -cage mo- tor, with no brushes or slip rings,, For the high rate of speed at which,the• wheel travels, a , considerable Supply of oil isr5necessary.
