The old fellow declared that in Louisiana,

a million times, and that in each case il

pineapple and squeezed out the juice.

About Glaciers.

Glaciers are composed of frozen snow
and not masses of clear ice as is sup
posed by those who have never seen
them. On the surface there is fine,
powder-like snow, below that it is
coarser, and beneath all is a thick
stratum crushed aud squeezed together
by the pressure of the mass above. The
contour Of the mountains is well adapted
for keeping the accumulations of snow
aud when the mass is coagulated sufi-
cently it begins to flow out in the form
of tongue. At the surface the ice
moves faster than below where friction
retards il. In some cases glaciers move
a few inches in day, but in Others they
move several feet in the same time.
Loose rock and debris of varying size
collect on the surface of the glaciers, and
this is CARED down the mountain SIDE
until valley is reached, whore the ice
melts, leaving the debris to cover the
surface of the land, ,-B9stoa transcript.

Manhattan Sold for S25.

According to popular tradition the
Island Of Manhattan was sold in 1924
for the sum of S25, The conclusion one
would naturally jump to would be that
in the light of subsequent events the sum
was a ridiculously small price. But let
us suppose that S25 had been placed out
at seven per cent. interest in the year
1924 and had been allowed to compound
up to the year 1854, how much would it
then have amounted toi Something in the
neighborhood of 81 GOO, 900, 600. Is the
Island of Manhattan worth much more
than that to-dayl-Paarm rmaeeatieqi Bya.

LIGHT.

What does the blind man, blind from in
fancy,
Note in the vistas of his sleeping dream9
Living in darkness meath lights glowing
stream,
What can dreams show him that would
lovely be?
Loud would he sing joy-brimming, suddenly
To know tho blessing of days faintest
gle0m-
Brighter than bright dream pictures then
would beam
Life's radiant beauties In his vision free.
And would not we, reposing in the gloom,
Dreaming in shadow, reft by death of
sight,
Tn awe-struck joy and wonder wake to see,
Like the day breaking into sudden bloom,
Aboutu burst the rolling sea of light
That gilds the white shores of eternity9

they told me of her death and her hus-
bands, SO nigh together.
''But was more taken aback when
heard she'd left a baby, and that it had
been sent to an asylum. Clary Dayton's
baby, my nevvy-or grand-nevvy- in an
asylum
81 travelled pretty quick to the place,
and don't know whether was glad or
sorry when heard it had been adopted
Anyway, what | came here for's to see

with you about his board--or whatever
you call it. / don't want Clary's child
to be living on charity"
"But it isn't charity, sir, it isn't
charity You see it belongs to me. ="
Miss Dilloway said this with a half-vin-
dicative air. 81 had the papers regu-
larly made out"
"Well, by and by, when he grows up,
he'll have to be educated, and clothes
bought for him. I'll start him bank
account. What's his name2"
Olive always called him Baby l
haven't thought of any name yet" an
swered Miss Dilloway, not Just liking
this ''look ahead" when this bit of hu-
manity in her arms would need education
and boys clothes.

out name! Well, well. Ahem! VIII
what do you say to calling him after

81 don't know that there's any objec-
ton, said the little woman, somewhat
meekly.
"Well, you think it over. I've got
little business down this way that needs
looking after, SO 1 shall probably be
round here for day or two, and I'll
come in again"
Mr.. Russell's business must have re.
quired more Choking AFTER than he at
first supposed, for it detained him in
Rentham more than week. There
seemed to be an hour or two in each
day, however, when it did not require
his attention, aud these were spent in
''looking in to see how Clary's baby was

~ould not have got on at oil if Miss
Dillowa. ID not beer present to inter-
fere, when b.Agerbred horses aud highly
colored sugar soldiers found their way
from Mr.. Russell's pockets to baby's
mouth. Something was brought for
baby's amusement at every vista
jumping jack, rattle or woolly
sheep-until Mr.. Russell and his
small granddaughter became very good
friends. Mr.. Russell returned to Pres
ton, and was gone just two weeks. At
tho end of that time he might have been
seen one afternoon going toward Miss
Dilloway's residence, boldly pushing a
handsome baby carriage before him.
He was hardly seated in Miss Dillo-
ways small sitting room before he cleared
his throat and began:
''I've been thinking a good deal since

it struck me that, as you're alone in

baby seems to kind O. belong to both of
us, it wouldn't be bad idea to made one

Perhaps what one of the neighbors said
a short time after may throw some light
ON Miss Dilloway's answer.

The Collector Was Not in tho Least Afraid
Of Prince Russell Harrison.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-[Specidl THE
echoes of Russell Harrison's tilt with Col
lector Fassett are still heard in the corridors
of the Custom House. Mr. Harrison has
been very angry because the row got into
the newspapers. On the visit to the Col
lector young Harrison talked very loud. A
dozen people were in the Collectors office.
Some were close to his desk, and among
them was THE DISPATCH reporter.
Standing with his straw hat on, Harrison
frowned angrily down upon the Collector,
who sat in his Roman chair, and he ripped
out: "And that - fool Lyon went and
referred my application for the boat to
Foster" Quick as wink the Collector was
out of his chair and stood facing young
Harrison. He pulled his glasses of, and,
glaring right in Harrison's face. he shot
back: Excuse me, Mr.. Harrison, was the
- fool" For moment young Har-
rison was dazed. The Collector was very
angry, and was evidently not bit afraid of
the son of the President Of the United
States. Young Harrison looked sheepish
and soon retired. If he had RENAME any
longer and kept on making a noise, he
would have been tumbled out of the build
ing by Uncle Sans messengers.

ABOUT THE RAIN-MAKERS.
TEXANS HAVE LlTTLEFAITH IN THEIR
DYNAMITE BOMBS,

They Call Them Dudes and Laugh About
Their FooIishness Ar Unorgsnized
Party Which All Want to Boss-An In
teresting Letter.
WELLsBURG, w. Va, Sept 6.-[Special.
In letter just received from Texas in the
immediate vicinity of the work of the re-
cent rain producers, some interesting state
ments are made. An abstract of the letter
is as follows:
Our rancho is only u miles as the crow
flies from the place of experiment. and there
has been no rainfall on it since the party
came. There has been one rain on the Chi
cago ranch, where they are located, but
caused by their work, as they have only
sent up one balloon continuing the hydro.
oxygen gas, and several kites with small
amount OF dynamite attached, besides ex-
plodlng some rack-a-rocl1 on the ground. 1t
seems the apparatus for making the gas will
not work as it should, and they can only in
1late one balloon a day, which is nonsense
when they try. to bring rain in an
miles. Then there seems to be no
head to the party, and the members are con-
tinually quarreling among themselves, and
a GOOD and 20 li%eIx i've 'S tie xSitS W0cIe 70 sans
money than they are trying to bring rain
We suggest, in fact, that they do not want to
bring rain, as it might spoil their pleasure
trip.
Then they will not allow any strange re-
porters to ascertain anything about their
methods or success, but prefer to do their
own editing of copy sent to papers. The
sent out to the Northern papers,
stating that the rack-a-roak bomb brought a
heavier rain on the Chicago ranch than had
fallen there for three years. are simply lies
of the whole cloth, and were sent out by
members OF the experimenting party. There
has been a longer spell of dry season than
has occurred since 1885, but no cattle have
died. There have been several nice rains in
the past few weeks, before the heaven
busters" struck the plains, and also after
they came here, but before they fired q shot,
and since they began the bombardment
they have not brought enough to water
their whisky. l suppose, however, if it
should happen to rain. as we naturally
should have much in a short while, the
experime lters will get all the credit, and
Providence won't even be in it,
It's dudlsh sort of an outfit, so far as tho
scientific" end of the party is concerned,
and altogether they have impressed the ma
tive Maverick puncher" as being away be-
low par in an intellectual ways lifts neces-
sary to act so silly, and say such simple
things, in order to be scientific" fear the
Texans education in that line has
been woefully neglected That statement
may be severe, and even unjust, but this
much is true: they are sadly lacking in Or
ana defscient in common sense.
Neither DO they seem to possess any nerve,
Ind are greatly afraid of their own machines,
md unless they soon get over their awkward
hess there will be a grand explosion down
here some day, and they will at last succeed
zed scientists: We people down here be-
leve they can bring rain when the moisture
$ in the air, but not any sooner than nature
loes under the same conditions.

but Immediately Rearrested.
COLUMBUS, Sept. 6.-[SpccidL ]-George
Duncan, the pal of the celebrated Jim
Anderson, recently captured in Cleveland
by Detective Kelly, will be released from
the penitentiary tomorrow, but will not be
free man but a few seconds. He is
wanted at Cincinnati for burglary and
shooting to kill. AS soon as Duncan steps
outside of the prison he will be arrested
and sent back for trial The prisoner is
desperate man, and will give the officers
trouble if he has half chance at the time
his rearrest is attempted.
Duncan was received at the penitentiary
March IL, 1890, from Cincinnati on q one
year sentence for shooting to wound Patrol
man Casey, who was trying to arrest him
for burglary. July 25, of the same year, he
escaped, in company with another prisoner
known as Charley Bay. Warden Dyer and
the prison guards cornered the fugitives in
a cornfeld, but owing to high water were
not able to effect capture. Ray was two
weeks later captured at Detroit Duncan
was away longer, but was finally captured
at Cincinnati at the time of the raid on Jim
Anderson's house, when Duncan fired on
the officers, but was taken, while Anderson
was shot

TWO DARING MARINERS.
They Sail Away From New York to Bosto1
in a Little Cigar Box Craft

in a Little Cigar Box Craft,
New YORK, Sept. 6.-[ Especial This
afternoon two young men sailed from Rock
away Beach in dory, bound for Boston.
Harry. Tumbenbaek, the captain, sat in the
stern just before starting, while Robert
Valkeburg, the mate and crew, went for
ward and christened the craft "The Little
Rover" Their boat is feet long and 9. feet,
s inches in width 1t has square stern, is
flat bottomed, has center board and carries
a main sail and jib. With its two oc-
cupamts it draws 6 inches, while its gun
wales are about inches above the water.
In this cigar box the two men expect to
reach Boston in about nine DAYS. They ex-
pect TO capsize frequently, so they carry a
reel with long line. When they go over
board they will swim ashore, drag the boat
after them, bail her out and proceed. Both
the voyagers are robust young fellows, who
have made record as life-savers at Rock
away and Asbury Park. They will trust to
their swimming powers rather than to the
boat to save them.
