The Birth of an Iceberg.

The dynamical law by which the gla-
ciers abutting on the sea generate their
bergs is still somewhat vague. In earlier
days it was held that the glacial tongue
broke off by its own weight. To this has
succeeded the following explanation, per-
haps more popularity than scientifically ac-
cepted: Moving down the fiords to the
ocean the glaciers front enters the waves,
at first blowing up the sea bottom into
deep furrow, but as the ice-prow pushes
out over the sloping ocean floor the weight
resting upon the bottom steadily dimin-
ishes. The floating power of the water
tends constantly to lift the ice, which is
held down by the rigidity of the glacial
sheet below its normal sea line. Moving
on still, the glaciers front reaches the
point in deeper waters where it is lifted
from the bottom altogether. Still, it re-
mains unbrokeD, the strength of the sheet,
hundreds Of feet in thickness, holding it.
But as 1t proceeds, the awful leverage on
the unsupported tongue wakes. 1t is like
the van of an army drawn farther and
farther away from its main body, and en-
countering increasing attacks OF the foe.
Each surge of the tide, every onset of
storm, racks its structure. At last comes
the point where the hardly sustained equi-
liprium of forces ends, and the glacial tip
breaks away into the floating berg. Finally
we have third and more recent hypothesis
based on the diferential move
ment of the upper and lower parts of the
glacier. This latest theory asserts that
the glacial front is thrust over from above
by the swifter descent of its upper portion
"a movement which may be roughly
hkened to the breaking comb ola sea wave
sweeping to the Shore
But whatever the specific direction of
the force which expels the berg from the
glacier, the grandeur of the phenomena
which often attend it is without question.
Constantly the brow of the glacier over
the sea is shaking off, with sharp explo-
slons, smaller masses of ice, which drop to
the water in cloudlets of spray. Suddenly
there comes a set of louder and deeper
blasts, that blend into a subterranean roar.
A great section of the assured front of the
glacier bends, with waterfalls pouring
from Its sides, and obscured in clouds of
vapor from the cold surfaces newly ex-
posed to the air. As these clear away the
broken-of glacial tongue surges down,
forcing up wave of water dangerous to
near vessels, to boats or men at the waters
edge. Up and down the newborn berg
sways, moving, meanwhile, slowly away
from the glacier, and out to sea. 1t has
been born amid the travail of the icy ele-
ments to begin its life journey, that is to
be long or short, according to its own size
and the places to which the currents of air
and water are to bear it.-Gdrence Demino

SAT UPON BY THE MAJOR
An lnebriated Young Man Runs Agains
the Wrons- Man

An Inebriated Young Man Runs Against
the Wrong Man.
Thomas Flynn is young man given to
the use of intoxicating liquors When I'M
der the Influence" Thomas imagines that
he is the worlds champion pugilist, and
goes from place to place seeking fstic en-
gagements.
He had one of his usual 'jags" with him
yesterday forenoon when he encountered
Major" Wells in front of the international
Hotel. Thomas had often heard of the
Majors marveious prowess,s and accord
ingly considered him fit opponent for the
worlds champion.
Flynn promptly challenged the Msjor to
combat. The Major was not afraid at all,
but, not caring to disturb the Sabbath, he
declined to fight Then Flynn grew abu-
sive. He called the Major coward and
other pet names-all of which the Major
bore without losing his temper Finally,
however, Flynn's indiscretion led him TO
attempt to strike the Major. Then the
Major became righteously indignant. He
seized the belligerent youth by the collar,
whirled him over his head couple OF
times, and then dropping him upon the
sidewalk, quietly sat on him until police
officer Franks arrived.
Flynn was locked up in the City Prison
on charge of disturbing the peace.

SWIMMING BATHS.

Bishop Potter, Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Brayton Ives, William Astor, Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale, Ersstus Wiman, John
A. Cockerill and Richard Hunt have I'M
dertaken the task of raising 100000 for
the erection of a great building in New
York, to contain public baths, tub and
swimming, as well as vapor and other
baths. Confidence is felt that they will
succeed, and that the additional baths
will be ready next year, and will accom-
modate from ten to fifteen thousand people
daily.
All such efforts are worthy Of COM
mendation. They suggest the renewal of
the proposition made by the RECORD
UNION few weeks ago, that there should
be put on foot movement in Sacramento
for providing public swimming baths. At
that time we presented estimates showing
that sum not in excess Of 100000 would
be required, and that its investment would
pay per cent. We have been assured by
those who have made other estimates
that our figures were too high, and that
$4,000 will put up the necessary building,
furnish the tanks and machinery, and that
upon that sum an income of per cent can
be assured with every degree of business
certainty.
Assuming either estimate to be correct,
such scheme ought to be taken in hand,
and the proposition looked at in business
light. If safe business men give it their
approval, as we feel certain they will, the
stock will be taken without delay-of
that there is absolute assurance. The
benefits of such an institution as suggested,
in a warm climate like this, are almost
incalculable Since the New York move
ment has taken shape, Chicago has con-
sidered the matter, and the Inter Ocean
saws that estimates there are that $4,000
will be the cost Of proper swimming
bath constructed in The lake waters, and
that Chicago, in addition to the baths
now erected, needs two such. Since the
baths proposed for Chicago will be twice
the size of that proposed for Sacramento,
and much more elaborate, it is not prob
able that such as is needed for this city,
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-07-14
with the cost of excavations and pumping
and heating machinery added, will exceed
the estimate of $4,000.

AT this writing the news is coming over
the wires of terrific cyclone in the West
that has seriously injured several cities
and towns, and occasioned great loss
of life. The extent of the sweep Of
the destroying agency is not yet known.
Only few days ago another cyclone swept
section of the West, destroying life and
property in still other parts. These sad
events quicken human sympathy, and
excite in all minds the liyeiiest emotions
OF pity, and desire TO render aid to the
unfortunate. At the same time we cannot
escape the reflection that our own lines
are happily cast. Here such destroyers
are unknown, and the peril of disturbed
elements does not appear to hang over the
land. AT the very time that the fearful
storm of wind was moving down cottages
and mansions, and burying human beings
in the ruins in western towns and cities.
twelve thousand people of Sacramento
were assembled beneath cloudless skies.
enjoying an open-air concert, and not dis
turbed by any thought of the possibility
that In an instant, without warning or
approach. there might sweep upon them
terrific cyclone-a fear that must find
place in all hearts in the broad West,
where these agencies of destruction are so
common.

A PROMINENT physician has said to a
RECORD UNION reporter that great deal
of illness is due to the habit of sprinkling
and washing wooden sidewalks. The
reason he assigns is that the space be-
meath them is kept moist and that great
deal of vegetable decay is thus promoted,
and that such soil and such boards, the under
sides of which are moderated, give forth
noxious vapors that poison the atmosphere.
There can be no sort of doubt about it. But
there are other reasons why the custom
should be prohibited. The dispositions
upon the surface of wooden sidewalks by
human beings and animals is equally
offensive, and while in a dried state they
must go into the atmosphere in degree in
impalpable powder, they are more vicious
when evaporated and moisture carries
them upward. The wetting of the walks
in the heat of the day, so far from cooling
the atmosphere, increases its humidity and
renders the vicinity more uncomfortable.
OF course the right thing to do is to get
rid of the wooden walks as speedily as
possible and thus conserve the cleanliness
OF the soil. But in the meantime the
wettlng down of walks of wood should be
it is a positive evil.

FREMONT.

In the death of General John C. FIRE.
mont there passed away another of the
historic characters of great prominence in
the conquest of the Pacific possessions Of
the Republic. His services in the probing
of the West began as early as 1910, when
he made an examination of the Des Moines
river. then on our western frontier. His
celebrated exploration of the Rocky
Mountains began the next year. His
rerrort Of that expedition, made in 1S43,
attracted wide attention, turned the tide
of interest toward the South Pass, and re-
suited in his second expedition to the west
of the mountains.
In consequence of his report on the
Utah region, the Mormons entered upon
the settlement of that section, and the
nation began to look toward an empire of
possessions upon the Pacific Coast.
His achievements in California and
Oregon are familiar to the people, and
need not here be recounted. That he was
a courageous man and fearless soldier
will never be denied. If he lacked some
essential elements of great commander,
he possessed those of the explorer in full
ness, and deservedly won the honorable
title of "The Pathfinder" He became
citizen of California after his explora-
tions ceased, and was honored by
this State with a seat in the
United States. Senate. He served
the State with ability through brief
term. Prussia honored him with gold
medal for his discoveries, and the Royal
Geographical Society of London with the
founders Medal" and an honorary mem
bership. He renewed his exploring expe-
ditions in the Far West in 1858. In 1856
he led in the first great political battle of
the Republican party as its Presidential
nominee.
Soon after the opening of the civil war
he was made Major-General, and served
with slight interruption until July, 1868.
From 1873 to 1881 he was Governor of
Arizona. In later years ne fell into finan-
cial distress, and was probably in sore want
for long time. The nation did him JUS
tice at last in placing him upon the re-
tired list with handsome salary, but he
lived only few months thereafter to enjoy
it.
With all his improvidence, his unfor-
tunate trouble with Mr.. Lincoln's ad-
ministration, and his restless disposition,
John Charles Fremont sends his name
down in American history as one of the
distinguished and gallant sons of the Re-
public whose services contributed largely
TO the conquest of the West and the ex-
tension of the chain of States to the Pacific
shores, and whose career is indissolubly
and honorably linked with some of the
most stirring and important events of the
building of the American nation.

THE Houses have passed the compromise
silver bill and it is altogether probable
that the President will approve it. 1t is
a concession to him, since it does not de-
cree absolute free coinage of silver, to
which he was antagonistic. The belief
is entertained, and we believe with iusti-
fication, that the Democrats have made a
political mistake in their united opposi-
ton to the measure. Their recent posing
as ardent friends of free coinage was not
sincere; they stand upon platform that
makes no mention of such policy, and
they supported candidate for the Presi-
dency who was noted as an enemy of the
silver propositions. Under such conditions
it is improbable that the Democracy will
be able to make any political capital out
of the party shift of front so suddenly
made.

MISS PRY.
How the Lovely Clara Made Herself Dis
agreeable

agreeable.
From the Youths Companion.
All of Fanny Mattack's letters from
school were filled with the praises of hel
friend, Miss Jayne
"Clara is so amiable, SO gentle. Clara's
family is one of the most prominent and
! cultured in New York. Clara's manners
are faultless. She never is i'll at ease OF
embarrassed"
When she asked leave, therefore. to
bring her friend home with her in vaca.
ton, her mother gave a pleased assent
Miss Jayne arrived. She was pretty. CAV
and cordial, and the Mattack family gave
her delighted welcome
"a charming little girl |" said Mrs.
Mattack. "We will make her one of the
family at once"
When they sat down to luncheon, how
ever, Fanny observed that her friend
glanced sharply at the coarse napkins and
plain goblets, and wished that her mother
had used the damask and cut glass today.
'Mr. Mattack does not come home for
luncheon?' gently queried the little guest.
Gentlemen are always SO driven by
their business. What is Mr.. Mattack's
business ?"
Mrs. Mattack replied with little sur
prise at the rude mistake, but Clara was
young, and doubtless would not SO err
again.
In few minutes, when Fannie's elder
brother left the table, she asked if DR..
Mattaek was engaged, and when Fanny
told her that he was, proceeded to inquire
as to the lady's name, age and occupation
of her father.
There could be no doubt of Clara's
beauty, or of her desire to make her.
self agreeable. She had a kindly, good
humor, and vivacity which at
tracted everyone at first sight, but when
Mrs. Mattack observed during the
day that she did not pass single picture
or piece of bric-a-brac without asking the
price, and that she felt the texture of the
parlor curtains to detect cotton in them.
she began to have secret dread of this
too-clever visitor.
DIR. Mattack's Gancee called upon Miss
Jayne the next morning, and the girls
chatted merrily together; but as they
were parting Clara said, sweetly: "Do ex-
cuse me, but have you not Jewish blood
Your nose indicates it."
Really, Fanny" her brother said to her
that night, 'your friend should 60 out as
an explorer. She would soon drag out the
secrets of Africa or the pole. She asked me
what was the probable income of physi-
clan in good practice in this town, and
when told her, said, 4 suppose you are
in good practice
Before Clara's visit came to an end the
Mattack family, in spite of her kind heart
and amiability, found he- intolerable.
When she drove from the door Mrs. Mat
tack breathed sigh of relief.
81 feel as if burglar had been ransack-
ing my life and mind and thoughts" she
SAID. "Never let me see her here again.
l would rather thief would break into
my house than into my most private af-
fairs p
Yet Clara went happily on her inquir-
ing way, unconscious that she was doing
any wrong in gratifying her interest in
her neighbors.
Do any of our readers see themselves
reflected in this nimble-witted young
lady?
