covered, and those missing whom it is
reasonably certain are dead, are eighty

dozen so badly injured to " nom death NAV

or scratches.
A good many of the estimates of dam.

demolished were old buildings and com-

The river was strewn with floating
debris from the storm, from 10th street to
the water works, and hundreds of skih-
are plying, collecting splinlered wood

A thrilling scene occurred at st. Louis
Evangelical church in JetIersonville
where Rev. H. NJ. Gersmon was hoding
services. The building, a handsome one
OF brick, swayed and rocked, and the
west wall began to bulge inward under
the terrific pressure of the wind. The
roof was blown off with loud report.
Women screamed, and one lady, Miss
Caroline Ruepl, tainted, but Rev. Mr.

safely to the parsonage, where all remained
until the danger was over.

Morse said the provision approprlatng

that among things to he sold at these
canteens were beer and light wines, and
with the government beer saloon was to
be connected a library and reading room.
He protested against this as an outrage
against the temperance and Christian
people of this country. Morse's amend

enlisted men in any canteens, was adopt

ABSOLUTE FREE COINAGE.
Amendments to Be Urged for the Jones
Silver Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-The national
silver executive committee had a meeting
at Wizards hotel Saturday evening. Ex-
Congressman Warner, chairman Of the
committee, reported that he had had in
terviews with leading silver men in both
houses of congress, and felt greatly en-.
couraged by the outlook for silver. The
committee adopted the following amend
ment, which the senate is to be urged 10
add to the Jones bill i'll the event that it
should pass.
provided that so soon as the market
price of silver shall have reached the
maximum hereinhefore named, and in
any event from and after January, 1892,
the amount of silver purchased shall be
so much as may be voluntarily offered at
said price"
The committee will also urge that in the
event of favorably action upon the Win
dom bill like provision shall be made
for absolute free coinage in 1892. The
provision is certain to receive the support
OF many ardent silver men in the house.

The Birth Of an Iceberg.


Clarence Deming In Harper's Weekly:
The dynamical law by which the gla-
cicrs abutting on the sea generate their
bergs is still somewhat vague. In earlier
days il was held that the glacial tongue
broke of 10y lis own weight. To this has
succeeded the following explanation. per-
haps more popularity than scientifically
accepted. Moving down the fiords to the
ocean the glaciers front enters the waves,
at first blowing up the sea bottom into a
deep furrow. But as the ice prov pushes
out over the sloping ocean fioor, the
weight resting upon the bottom steadily
diminishcs. 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 nor
NAL sea line. Moving on still, the gla-
cier's front reaches the point in deeper
waters where il is lifted from the bottom
altogether. Still IL remains ~unbroken,
the strength of the sheet, hundreds of feet
in thickness, holding il. But as il pro-
ceeds, the awful leverage ON the unsup-
ported tongue wakes. IL is like the van
Of am army drawn farther and farther
away from its main body, and encounter
ing 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 cpuili-
brium Of forces ends. and the glacial tip
breaks away into the floating berg. Fin
ally we have a third and more recent n.y.
poihesis based on the diifcrential move
ment Of the upper and lower parts of the
glacier. This latest theory asserts that
the glacial front is thrust over from above
10y the swiftcr descent Of its upper por-
tion-a movement which may he roughly
likencd to the breaking comb OF n sea
wave sweeping To the shore.
But whatever the specific direction of
the force which expels the bcrg from the
glacier, the grandeur OF the phenomena
which often attend il Is without question.
Constantly the brow Of the glacier over
the sea is shaking oil with sharp ex-
plosions 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 subtcr-
anean A great section Of the IFS
surcd front of the glacier bends, with
waterfalls pouring from its sides, and
obscurcd i'm clouds of yapor from the cold
surfaces newly exposed to the air. As
these clear away the broken-oif glacial
tongue surges down, forcing up a wave of
water dangerous To neal vessels, to boats
or men AT the waters edge. Up and down
the newborn berg sways, moving mean
while, slowly away from the glacier, and
out to sea. Ii has been born amid the
travail of the icy elements Ia begin its life
journey, that is To he long or short ac-
cording Ia its own size and the places to
which The currents Of air and water are

A Temperance Lesson.

by laden with barrels filled with some

This was a delicate question. But after
some discussion Jim owned up To six

ccpt by blasting. In the struggle Of the
men TO get out Of the harms way, q Chi
naman had taken refuge behind Il. The
poor fellow was curied up frantically en-
deavorinR TO make himself half his nor
NAL size, when the stream struck the
rock and rolled II over upon him. There
was q shrek Of agony and the unfortu-
ate Celestial had joined his ancestors i'm
the kingdom of the sun.
When Buck got upon his feet,after hav-
ing been knocked down and dragged
around by the unruly pipe, he watched
his opportunity. and, mt q favorable mo
ment, made n break for the reservoir. The
stream paid its respects to him by delug-
ing him with a torrent OF mud and gravel,
hut he escaped with nothing worse
than n few scratches. Immediately
after he reached the reservoir there was a
roar like a clap OF thunder. In shutting
off the water at the pent stock Buck closed
the gate instantly instead Of gradually.
The result was to create n vacuum in the
pipe leading from the reservoir to the noz-
zle. and about one hundred feet OF IL col
lapsed. D..
Before I could quite get my scattered
wits together | saw Buck signaling me to
come TO him, and thereupon l climbed up
To the reservoir. When l had joined him,
there, in plain sight, floating at the sur
face of the pent stock was the immediate
cause of the disaster. II was the body OF
a Cbinaman, who was employed TO keep
the upper ditch clear. The poor fellow
had tumbled into the ditch, and, having
probably been stunned, he was drowned,
and his body iioated to the reservoir. The
current of water had carried ii into the
pent stock, and as the water bumped il
back and forth I'm front of the induction
pipe, il had produced the water-hammer
that set the nozzle to bucking.
