WORLDS. FAIR NOTES.

The Worlds Fair Directory has cxpend-
ed up to date approximately seven and n
quarter million dollars.
1t is proposed to hold worlds fairs in
Berlin in 1893. and in Paris in 190O but de-
finite action has not yet been taken by the
nations concerned.
In Delmark's exhibit at the Worlds
Fair will be fine array OF porcelain ware
and notable art display, including repro.
ductons Of many OF the Tho ;waldscn
sculptures.
The work of assigning space to the thou
sands Of exhibitors in the various Worlds
Fair buildings has been entered upon and
will be pushed to finish as rapidly as pos
siblc. As much more space has been ap-
piled for than is available it will b. neces-
sary to scale down the requests of a major
ity OF the applicants.
IT is proposed and ably supported, that
something be done at the time OF the
Worlds Fair, pre- umably under the nu.
spices OF the Worlds Congress- Auxiliary
to bring about throughout the world the
universal adoption OF q decimal system OF
weights, measurements and coinage.
AN effort is being made to show by an
exhibit in the Woman's building a. the
Worlds Fair the relics and data ofthc
past and present literature, musical dra-
matte, industrial and philanthropic work
of women. The Irish portion of this ex-
lribt promises to be particu arly complete
and interesting.

A LAKE WITHIN A GLACIER.
The Cause Of the Alpine Disaster which
Overwhelmed Part OF St. aervais.
Nav York Snnl

The biologists who have investigated
the cause of the great disaster which over
whelmed part OF st. Gervais, Switzer-
land, with ice and water from the lower
part of the Bionassy glacier. have solved
the mystery: Up the SIDE sn s Of the n moanI
wall whose lower part broke away, the ex-
plorers found IN the ice an oval cavern
about 100 feet in width aud 10 feet III
height. In the interior of the cavern was
q corridor covered with blocks of ice aud
leading into gigantic basin with perpen-
dicular walls OF ice. 1t was As feet long.
200 feet wide. and 140 feet high. In this
great cavity there had been an intraglaciai
lake, of whose existence no one had been
aware. The condition of the walls proved
that the cavity had been full Of water re-
Gently.
The existence of this great reservoir OF
unfrozen water lnclosed on all sides ex-
plans the nature of the immense ava
lanche that overwhelmed the valley pc
low. The excessive heat OF the days be.
fore tho disaster had probably increased
the quantity of water In the natural reser-
voIr and the greater pressure broke the
front wall. cracking away the lower part or
the glacier. and permitting tho immense
volume of water to pour down the noun
tain into the valley below, carrying with
it the broken foot of the glacier. The
water aad ice fell distance or 2.OO0 teet
down an inclined plane two miles long,
and part of st. Gervais had been over
whelmed almost before any one heard the
roar of the approaching delugo.
This is the only accident due to such
remarkable cause ever known in the Alps.
1t has been followed, however. by some
what similar accident at TIE Misaun glacier,
/ near Pontresina. A considerable part OF
/ this short, steep glacier fell, and although
/ there was no loss of life the accident draws
attention to the fact that all over the Alps
climbers have recently noticed q swelling

Especial telegram 70 the Dispatch.l
wAvrRLY, Va, November 5.--This has
been gale day for the Democracy OF our
town and of tho surrounding country.
We were honored with the presence OF
Virginia's two most gifted orators, Senator
Johu w. Daniel and Hon. James l.. Cor
don, whom we regard as John w. Daniel
the second. About 800 citizens, including
many ladies, were present. Only the
shortness OF the notice and the fear that
Major Daniel would not come cut tho num-
Der below 1000.
County Chairman Holt presided aud In
troduced the speakers with appropriate
remarks. Mr.. Gordon was introduced 40
one suited to represent Virginia IN the
United States Senate. He held his au-
dience spell-bound for one hour and
half, and discussed in most able and at
tractive manner the tariff and force.bili
issues. and demonstrated the absolute
folly Of the Thlrd-party movement. he
warned the Third party that they were IN
great danger of walking into the hepuon-
can party. His closing appeal to all true
VirginIans to be loyal to the cause OK De-
moeracy cannot be described.
The silver-tongued Daniel was next in
troduced. and discussed the issues Of the
canvass as only John w. Daniel can. His
discussion of the question of finance was
simple. complete and unanswerable. de
demonstrated plainly 10 the farmers that
the effect OF protective tariff was to lower
the price of farm products. His arraign-
and be showed that it was responsible for
the oppressed condition Of labor and aRri-
culture. Some converts were made tor
the Democracy.
Gordon won warm place in the hearts
of our people. Daniel had 1t already.
