The Ice-Troughs In Northern Siberia and
kamschattxa.


kamschattxa.
In consequence of the extreme con-
trast between the summer and winter
temperatures in northern Asia the con-
ditions for glacier construction are very
unfayorable, says writer In a Vienna
publication. On one hand the extreme
winter cold is unfavorable TO d cnpious
snowfall; on the other hand, Whit snow
does fall is dissipated by the extreme
heat Of summer. To this we must add
an excessive radiation due to the ex-
tremely clear atmosphere. AS a matter
of fact there are no glaciers in northern
Siberia. On the other hand the noun
tain country displays very characteris-
tic phenomena, which A. Helm has de-
scribed as the exact opposite of the GA
cier-a negative glnciation. These are
the celebrated iee-hasiHs or 'sTarrine";
ice masses due to the extremely low
surface temperature in Siberia.
For the study of ice-troughs In Siberia
we are indebted to X. Won Ditmar, who
traverscd the peninsula in the years
lSo1-5.: He thoroughly familiarized him
self with the existing conditions, and,
after the published views-of other trav-
elers, he concluded that the following
circumstances constitute the necessary
conditions for the origination of the ice
mulden or basins: Ice basins are formed
only in those sections of the valleys
which are either originally concave or
at least quite horizontal. Above this
depression or fat surface there must be
q spring discharging an abundant sup
ply of water, at a temperature SO high
that it will not freeze in winter. Given
these conditions, cold summer with an
abundant snowfall will contribute ma
terially to the discharge of water
AS contribution to the explanation
of the origin of the ice basin we quote
the following from A. Helm: "The soil
of northern Siberia is frozen to a very
considerable depth; its mean tempera-
ture is far below zero. The ice ce-
ments sand and debris to permanent
solid sandstone and conglomerate. The.
summer sun thaws the surface LAYERS
only; the icy substrata is impenetrable
water penetrating to them is rapidly
above zero the water from the springs
freozes on reaching the substrata where
springs discharge their water; the in
tluence of the extreme cold of the SUBJ
strata, up to certain point, tends
rather to the congelation of the water
than to the melting Of the ice. In this
manner Expressions and level valleys
overhowod by springs become covered
by thiclg layers of ice, which by their
formation and appearance remind one
of the silicious deposits from the gey-
sers of North america, New Zealand.
ETC. Snowdrifts may further strengthen
these ice basins; the large dense masses
OF blue ice are in many cases no more
dissolved, and the discharges from even
the larger springs are in summer partly
and In winter completely converted
into ice under the influence of the .ex.
treme cold in the soil and subsoil."

on the stand when passed was Job
lot of secondhand artificial teeth.
''Great Scott" exclaimed an old wom-
an who happened TO glance at the heap,
II wonder II he thinks" any person
would ever buy these teeth after being
worn by other people?"
1 was also anxious to find out why
the teeth were lying there and asked
the owner ofrthe sstutfd.
Those teeth are for sale, my dear
SIR" answered the man; would you
like to look at set?"
When informed that did not want to
purchase, but was curious to know if
any person ever bought secondhand
artificial teeth, the proprietor smiled.
"Yes; at times sell great many of
these teeth. Where mostly get them
is at pawnbrokers' sales. l buy them

them sometimes for three dollars.

they were fitted better than a dentist
could suit them.
IAN old man purchased an upper set
from me last winter and he was SO well
pleased with them that he brought his
wife here last week to get set, had
none at the time and he promised to
call this week. A person might as well
save few dollars in buying teeth as in
any other way. Take them home, wash
them and they are just as good as new;
in fact, better, for they have been
broken in"

DRIVER ANTS,
They Proceed In Armies and Carry Every
thing Before Them

They Proceed in Armies and Carry Every
thing Before Them.
There are certain ants that show
wonderful intelligence. and the "drivcr
ants not only build boats, but launch
them, too; only ,these boats are
formed of their own bodies. They
are called drivers" because of their
fcrocity, says st. Nicholas. Nothing
can stand before the attacks of these
little creatures. Large pythons have
been killed by them in a single night,
while chickens, lizards and other ami.
mails in western Africa fleG from them
in terror. To protect themselves from
the heat, they Greet arches, under which
numerous armies of them pass in safety.
Sometimes the arch Is made Of grass
and earth gummed together by some
secretion, and again It is formed by the
bodies of the larg eants which hold them
selves together by their strong nippers,
while the workers pass under them. At
certain times Of the year freshets over
flow the country inhabited by the "drv-
ers," and it is then that these ants go to
sea. The rain comes suddenly aad the
walls of their houses are broken in by
the flood, but instead Of coming to the
surface in scattered hundreds and being
swept Off to destruction, out of the
ruins rises black ball that rides safely
on the water and drifts away. At the
first warning of danger, tho little c-ea-
lures run together and form solid ball
of ants, the weaker In the center; often
this ball is larger than a common base
ball; and in this way they loat away
until they lodge against some tree, upon
the branches Of which they are soon
safe and sound. .s

make mp Your Tobacco Inso Cigars.
The tobacco we have grown and are
about to grow Is for cigars only. No
cigarettes, no plugs and no pipe tobacco
about 1t. This Is the reason why we have
urged and contended that every tobacco
growing community in this portion of the
state is sorely in med of one or more cigar
manufacture and we intend to keep pound
ing away until the desired end is accom-
plished. Take cotton, for instance; we
grow it, then send it down east. They
make it up into shirting, then we buy the
shifting at three prices to ever our backs.
All wrong. On this subject the Richmond
Tobacconist >inte lily remarks:
''If the Southern states are producers o.,
cigar leaf in the future, it should be the
southern states factories that should be
first to make the tobacco into cigars, for
herein lies the profits mostly in manu-
featuring 1t is the factory that keeps
the money and employment and popula-
ton at home; nay, more. it attracts popula-
ton and creates wealth"

Tobacco LEAFS Sound Advice.

Increased ACREAGE means a lot of tobacco
that cannot he sold. Many farmers, espe-
cially in Georgia and Florida, intend try
ing tobacco this year, never having before
attempted raising it. Well and good, if
they make the trial like child does with
an unknown article of food-frst a small
bite; then, if the bite was satisfactory, a
little larger one to see if the first impress
sion was correct, and then the whole of it,
But these farmers are talking of FIVE, ten or
more acres. If they will plant as they now
talk, the probabilities are that next fall
they find themselves the worst burc )ed
men in the South, and the Give acres five
times too much" Let them ask any old
grower if it does not require good deal of
experience to properly raise tobacco. They
will learn that it does. Then why at
tempt to raise as much as an experienced
farmer c0n take care of? Let them first
experiment with quarter or half acre
and expect nothing for the crop, for "blesse1
are they who expect nothing, FOR they will
not be disappointed.' Tobacco can be as
crop as cotton

The rea Ter will remember that few
issues ago we referred to the insect th at

Previous to that we bad noticed these depii-

not know what, how or when it is dor 9,
but often thought it was d ne after the

long feelers some what like those OF beetles
that produce most of The three borer :,
