A good one is told on one of the brokers on the wharf, who went to the Black Fish Gronuds on the steamer Sylvan Grave on Monday. After the boat had reached the fish ing grounds and every one was prepar ing to fish, our lucky friend commenced baiting his hooks, having everything in readiness. He was in for the first fish; but instead of dropping his sinker overboard he quietly put it in his pocket and threw the other end of the line into the sea. He stood for awhile, wondering why it was so many fish were being caught and he could not get a nibble. Finally a friend standing by told him of the mis take he had made, when he reversed matters and then began to catch as many as an one else.

We feel satisfied that this follower of Isaac Walt-er will not be caught in this snap again KNIGHTS1 OF PYTHIAS. Delegates to the Grand- Lodge Whi Meets To-day in Durham.

MACHINE-MADE ICE. It is Driving Out the Natural Ice Trade in Warm Climates. The Savannah (Ga.) Neivs publishes an interesting account of the manufac ture of ice, given to a reporter of that nanpr WT rpnrpoontinrr firm of ice riant manufacture of Ohio Mr. Roberts said in the course of the interview that the figures of the New York Herald, quoted in the Morning ATews, as to the cost of manufacturing ice arp too high, arm he gives the tol I lowing figures as the maximum cost of manufacturing ice in this section Per Ton By a 5-ton plant $2 50 By a 10-ton plant 2 00 By a 15-ton plant 1 50 By a 25-ton plant 1 00 By a do-ton plant 95 By a 50-ton plant 85 By a 100-ton plant 75 "Are there many manufacturers of ice plants in this country?" Mr. Ro- berts was asked.

Mr. Roberts replied that there maybe said to be but about six ot prominence, lour of which, of the compression sys tem, are the Arctic, of Cleveland, the il vertjue, oi incw iorK, inc on- ir xt i s.olidated of Chicagoand the Frick of vi aviioLAiUi a. i uuil ai oaiu Thoi-a two or three smaller establishments where plants ot the compression system are turned out. 1 he two principal es- tablishments which manufacture plants of the absorption system are the Bly- yer oi Cincinnati, ana tne sirauon fz tuq th svstems. Mr.

Roherts ex- plained, is that by the absorption, or- system, the supply cannot be con- forced, whereas by the compression sys- tern the engineer may increase or di minish the ice supply at his pleasure. 1 he average temperature of the bath in which the molds are lowered is 15 Fahrenheit, but Mr. Roberts says that Southern plants go below this average, and range from 12 to 14 Fahrenheit, it requiring forty-eight hours to freeze a 300 pound block or ice. "Does the manufactured ice last as long as the natural ice?" "in the winter, yes. In the summer the artificial ice lasts at least one-third longer.

The reason is obvious. In the winter, if a block of artificial ice be placed beside a block of natural ice, and exposed to the atmosphere, the melting process will effect the two blocks alike. If a block of ice manutactured in the summer is placed alongside of a block of natural ice, the latter has already begun to melt, whereas the block ot manufac tured ice is as cold as it be made and must necessarily last longer." Artificial ice, Mr. Roberts says, is last taking the place of natural ice, and he predicts that within ten years all cities of 5,000 inhabitants and over, North and South, will be using the artificial ice, for the reason that the heating of the water to the steam point kills all disease germs and bacilli, and when this steam is condensed and hltered and then frozen it is absolutely free from organic matter. A second reason as signed why the artihcial ice will drive the natural ice from the market is that it costs less to manufacture the ice than to harvest the natural crop and get it to market, a plant for harvesting, trans-I planting and storing ice often represent- ing an outlay greater inan mai required for one of the largest ice plants.

Mr. Roberts says it costs from 15 to 20 cents a ton alone to harvest ice on the Hudson river, and he understands that the Knickerbocker company claim that it costs them $1.10 to deliver Hudson river ice on the wharves in New York. Very little ice was harvested last winter, and an ice famine is the result, and ice is retailing in the cities of the North at from 1 cent a pound to 14 cents, and is likely to go higher be fore the summer is over, The factories which manufacture ice plants have never known what it is to be crowded as they are with orders, and with the excep tion of the factory at Columbus, it is estimated that seven-eighths of the orders are from the cities of the North, and to meet these orders ice plant lactones are running ooume time, jyiany large dealers have contracts to deliver a given amount of ice, andat is estimated that the supply on handN in the North will not last through the month of July, and in some localities no longer than the month of Tune. This means to some dealers loss of trade and possible bank ruptcy through failure to fill contracts, aud to obviate this many extensive Northern ice dealers have been rushing to eet ice nlants in operation by the time the present stock ot natural icenas Deen consumed. Tn aHHitinn to trip tinme demand for ice Diants there is a growing demand for plants of American manulacture in tne countries of South and Central Amer ica.

The superior excellence of Ameri can ice plants is conceded, as they are far in advance ot those manuiacturea in other countries. Walter Robertson, the British vice- consul of this city, who spent five years in Africa, in discussing the ice question yesterday in a group of gentlemen, re- marked that the introduction of ice piauts liwi Luunuy win u. a. to some one He said that when a ship cftmAc intn on African SPflnort with a SUrnlus of ice. it is auctioned off in small blocks, and there is a regular scramble lor it ano it commands exoruitant pi u-ca.
