we are indebted to whalers and ex

in thin, irre-'ular flakes called
".lud"o," and when this is compact
enough to bold snow it is known as
"lirah." (lathered into rounde
masses it becomes ''pancake ice,'
and soon it becomes thicker. The
first thin covering is called ".May
ice." A '"doe" is a sheet of ice the
limits of which are visible, and an
"ice field'' is so extensive that its
limits cannot be seen. 'Tack iee

I Short Giografiny cf the World's
Crejteut Violinist.
Among those remarkably gifted
louls uhu have left the echo of their
iiuisie for the joy of succeeding gen
priilioiis r.ianini, who was lxrn nt
Uenoa. Italy, on Feb. 10. ITS I, and
who died at Nice on May '27, 18 10,
holds a foremost place in history.
His father in his early ambition
for his child, in whom he found the
Fiiblnne musical trift, whs almost
rruel in hin demands for study.
While Nicole had the best violin
teacher to be found in Italy, his
skill was duo to his own genius. One
y one these teachers acknowledged
they conld teach him nothing, and
the bor worked out his own meth-
od.
At nine years ho wrote n ponnta
and nt n concert made the audience
fairly wild with enthusiasm over his
laving. At thirteen ho itarted on
his first professional tour and in tho
following four years was pretty
nearly ruined. Money poured into
his hands, and ho learned to gam
ble. When he was seventeen there
eame a day when he had lost every
thing but his Stradivanus Tiolin
and 3 francs. lie played with the
ran'es nnd won a hundred. Then ho
decided never again to gamble, and
ho kept his word.
This life of constant excitement
and excess had ruined his health
and nerves. A wealthy titled wom
an took him into her favor and kept
him for three years on an estate fIio
had in Tuscanv. She would not al
ow him to play the violin, for she
better enjoyed the guitar.
In the (linet, simple life of the
eountrv I'aganini grew ptrong and
well, and when ho was twenty be
went bad; to (lenoa and began bis
real rr.isieal life. The next year he
miido his second professional tour,
and this ended in his being made di
rector of music at the court or tho
Princess Klizu I'.acciochi. sister of
Napoleon Iionaparte, at I.tieca.
In person I'aganini was peculiar.
lie was exceedingly thin and had a
strange, awkward walk. His face
was long, his eyes deep and dark,
and he wore his hair long, almost to
his shoulders.
He was thirty when he left tho
ruscan court, and from that time
be kept free from all such obliga
tions. He plaved when and where
he bad a fancy to appear, and all
Europe was at his feet.
11c loved Italy, and when bis du
ties took him to Germany, France
and England he made bitter com
nlaints in reirard to climate and
methods of living. In Italy any
accommodation suited him. His
health U'gan to fail seriously after
be was thirty, and after a brilliant
success in all the great cities he re
turned to Italy and spent some
years in the enjoyment of several
estates he had bought, for he was
now very rich.
In the municipal building at
Genoa is carefully preserved Paga
nini's violin. He left it to the city,
and no other artist was to be allowed
to play upon it. The great artist is
buried in the village church near
the place of residence he loved best
tho Villa Gajona. P.oston Globe.

Saved Him.
Mr. H. went to tho club, leaving
Mrs. P. with a lady friend whose
abilities as a scandal monger and
mischief maker were pre-eminent.
When he returned he just poked his
head into the drawing room and
said, with a sigh of relief:
"That obi cat's gone, I suppose?''
For an instant there was a pro
found silence, for ns he uttered the
lat word he encountered the stony
stare of the lady who had been in
his mind. Then his wife came to
the rescue.
"Oh, yes, dear." .-lie said. "I
cnt it to the cats' home in a ba-ket
lirst thing this morning."

And be Happy
Making a Football.
Few people have any idea of the
amount of labor expended in the
making of a football. The leather
u.-ed is "split" cowhide, ordinary
cowhide being too thick for tho reg
ulation weight. Previous to split
ting the leather has been soaking in
the tan pits for ten or twelve
months.
The "split" hide is well softened
with tubbin and then passed to the
cutter, who cuts out the various
sections, which, sewed together,
make a perfectly round ball. The
bladder is made of Para rubber.
This is inflated by machinery, and
the ball is then laced up. Finally
it passes through tho hands of the
shaper, who pats down any inequali
ties in the seams or contour of the
ball.
