Pieces Of ice are necessarily breaking
down, bouncing along the incline of the
glaciers edge and plunging into the
salt water with a splash. Apparently
they are but the 81 Q OF small stones,
but the rafting reports they produce,
like the brisk lire of musketry, proves
that they must be OF considerable
dimensions. Ali at once the earth seems
to quake. an immense block, equal to a
large cathedral, is seen inclining ma
jestically; it is covered with white
powder; down it comes into the sea An
immense wave surges and sends its spray
aloft; icebergs and cakes of ice collide,
Gathering, breaking, and grinding each
other; the wave strikes the vessel,
which heaves and rolls as il in mid
ocean; a deafening clap of thunder is
heard, followed by the Yattling echo
among the mountains; it is as the boom
ing OF artillery fire Presently all is
silent, until the same spectacle recon-
mences and the same scent Is re-enacted

Tn mode Of manufacturing whisky in
the days when 1t was sent down the
Mississippi river on tiatboats and sold
at 10 to 20 cents per gallon, differed as
widely as possible from that Of the
present. The location Of springs In
that day decided that Of the distillery,
for the simple reason that they had no
machinery or pumps, and the water
flowed through troughs dug out Of oak
saplings into the flake stand or col
deuser. OF necessity the spring
was sufficiently elevated to flow
in the top Of the flake stand. The
whisky OF that day can truly be- said
to have been hand made, as eserything
was done by manual labor. The grain
was ground ut the neighborhoo1 horse
mill and carried on horseback to the
dlstillery. The MASKING vas done in
small tubs. al now, except that the
spent beer or slop was carried in buckets
IRON the still Z the tubs. The meal
was then put in and stirred with a
stick thoroughly cooked into mush, and
let stand about twenty-four hours to
cool. Then cold water was put in and
thoroughly stirred. Yeast WIS then
taken from tubs in a state of formenta-
ton and put into the new tubs, and
allowed to stand forty-eight or seventy
two hours, as the weather might 10 cold
or warm-the colder, the longer the
time of fermentation.
After the fermentation was complete
the mash became beer, which was
dipped in buckets and run through into
jug-shaped copper stills which were
placed on n rock and the furnaces so
Ouilt that tho fire, made of wood, went
entirely around the still some distance
above the bottom, the smoke coming out
into tho distillery. But the distiller, TO
make double sure that his still might
not burn by the settling Of the meal,
which would prevent tho beer from
coming into contact with the heated
still, would leave off what vas called
the cap and stir with a pole until the
beer was about to boil, when he would
replace the cap and paste it around
with rye meal. This boiling process is
called distilling.
inco alcohol becomes vapor at alower
temperature than water Tolls, the vapor
that arises is almost entirely alcohol,
which goes through copper pipes, OF
what is called the worm, simply because
it is coiled around the inside OF a large
tub or flake stand, which is constantly
supplied with cold water introduced in
the lotion of the flake stand, the heated
water oyeriowing at the top. This cold
water condensed the yapor in the worm,
which came out what was called sing
lings. This was redistilled in the SAME
way to get a higher proof whisky. In
that day there vas no such thing as
Thermometer; the distiller's arm was
the substitute in testing the heat of his
tuDs, and the proof vial was used instead
of the hydrometer, and the proof o.
whisky was decided by the bead. The
distiller in running his whisky from the
still would shut it OF when the bed oil
the worm disappeared, and would run
what was called b~ackings IS long a
they would burn. The custom was tC

London'> Self Contained Power.

Whatever disabilities afict other
cities OF the United Kingdom, London
has a special imperative power in her
self. She never ute re ects the con
dition of England. Men from all parts
of the world are always coming and go
ing hence. The center OF international
politics, London becomes more and more
the scene of great financial operations.
Everybody who has anything to sell, or
to patent, or to introduce to the world,
brings it to London. The inventor, the
singer. the writer, the painter, the spec
ulator, the ad%venturer, they all find the
metropolis the great magnet of the
world If 1t were possible for English
industries themselves to touch even
much lower depth than at present, on
don would be london still. the connt-
ing house Of the empire, the head
trading quarters OF India and the col
onies, the banking house of Europe.
Caterers for these, therefore, who de-
sire TO lie amused need never despair OF
success in London. Given the big show.
London is the place for it. But there
the big certainty ends.

Whore Boei. bnb Brew. His Beer.


Out in Monitor valley there is a nat
ural curiosity which it would we'll repay
to 20 far to sec. There is a little mound
in the middle Of a large plain which is
a perfect sugar-loat shape, about sixty
feet across, and which is evidently
formed by the accumulations of sedi-
ment thrown up by the ceaseless bub-
bling hot cauldron in its center. 1t is
really a huge fowl, ana the adventur-
Gus one who crawls to the brink will be
able to look down a distance of nifty
feet and see the seething, streaming
waters. They are SO clear that q stone
dropped in can be seen a long distance
The warm springs at a distance from
there are evidently from this %cauldron,
as there is no visible outlet. A party
there recently saw a snake lying GU the
brink, where it had G, identity been at
tracted by the heat. They kicked it in
aud watched it. A few wiggles only
were made and it was a cooked reptile.

We hear Of all sorts OF revivals now
adays, one OF the latest OF which is a
revival Of idolatry among the Telugu
people, OF India The missionary work
among these Telugus had been attended
with marvellous success, the baptisms in
each year being numbered by the thou
sands. Now the idolators seek to get
even with the missionaries aud win the
people back to the faith of their fathers.
They go among the christian converts
bearing OF bamboo poles small idol
houses. They make a great noise with
drums and shoutings and generally at
tract crowds OF people. The mission
aries say that there has o in half a
century been such a revival Of idolatry.

Remarkable rwenty-rour Hour Clock


one of the most remarkable of clocks
has lust been constructed in London for
a banking establishment. 1t is on the
twenty four hour principle, and is nota-
BILE as possessing probably the simplest
method which has yet been resorted to
tor indicating time according to the
new enumeration.
The clock in question has only one
hand-the long minute hand-and the
figures around are placed rs heretofore
Instead, however, Of indicating the
no lrs, they indicate the minutes only,
which are marked from five to sixty.
The hours are shown on a sunk dial re-
volving under the upper dial in which
the ne t hour figure comes forward in
simultaneously upon the minute hand
completing its circuit Of sixty minutes
that is, in a word, the solitary hand
marks the minutes, and the sunk space
shows the hour.

THE CHICAGO TRUNK TRAGEDY.
Examining One of the PaIties-His Par.
tial ConfessiOn-The Truckman
who Carried the Trunk to
the Depot Found.

CHICAGO. May IL.
Augustine Jarado, the Sicilian, who was
brought back from New York by detective
to answer to the charge of numbering Filippo
Carusa, the man who was found dead in
trunk at Pittsburg is now locked up at the
Central station. Last evening Jarado was
taken from his cell and conducted to the pri-
vate office of Lieuts. Shea and Ripley. De-
tective Bonfield and Officer Morris, an Ital-
ian policeman, who has done most of the
work on the case, were also in the room.
Morris speaks Italian fuently and he at once
began interpreting for Jarado the questions
asked by Shea and Ripley. Jarado admitted
after much questioning, that he took trunk
to the depot, and also that he left New York
with Victoria Camisito the next day. When
Jarado was brought out he was evidently
very much frightened The officers were
iubilant but none of the detectives would say
anything further as to the extent of Jarado's
confession.
The police today found the expressman
who carried the trunk containing the body of
Filippo Carusa to the depot. He was taken
to Central police station, where he identified
Jurado. the man arrested in New York, as
one of the persons who engaged him to carry
the trunk.

vince the officers of the Canada will issue
them a challenge. But first, / don't intend
it as an act of discourtesy, nor do want an
international question made of it. Neither
do wish to cause them any trouble with
their own authorities, but if they will allow
me to repeat the experiment ] will consent
to let them shoot me if they can. The re-
sponsibility shall be mine. My challenge is
this, that any time within seven days / will
if allowed, attach, as scientific experiment,
a torpedo shell to the Canada in spite of all
apparatus they may use to prevent it, or the
strctest watch they keep on board. If 0ey
see me they are at liberty to treat me as an
enemy and kill me if they can. am to Sc
lect the night for the experiment.

James F. Hodgdon informed the Judge that
he was unable to furnish the required securi-

Wiscasset in team by Marshal Crocker.
Officer Kittridge accompanied Hodgdon to his
home to obtain his clothes, and the parting
with his sisters was very pathetic, although
Hodgdon was apparently unmoved by the tears
of his sisters. He said he was glad to get out
of the lookup and would rather be in Wis
casset While being conveyed to Wiscasset
he was very quiet. He still maintains that
he remembers nothing about shooting his
mother or having the revolver. He claims
that his head has been badly affected ever
since he was sun struck eight years ago while

More Pam in His ThrOat-He Passes a
Restless Night.

New York, May IL.
During the early part of last night Gen.
Grant experienced considerable pain in his
throat He was restless. Soon after mid
night he slept, but his sleep was not continu-
Gus. He awakened at intervals and food was
given him. 1t was ten o'clock this morning
before he aroused for the day and was dressed.
He had slept about the usual number of
hours, though his sleep had been interrupted.
DIR. Douglass remained all night and left the
General asleep at o'clock. During the fore
noon Gen. Grant turned his attention to his
book and did some good work.
The general warmth Of today tempted the
General to take prolonged d1ve and he ar
rived at the house in good spirits after it.
He resumed work on his book after luncheon
and until dinner, after which he spent the
evening in social conversation with members
of his family. In the words of Col. Grant,
who is too busy to receive callers: Father
is feeling quite well today. The pain in his
throat was . little increased today, perhaps
owing to the change of air.
