of the moving ice mountain is thrust far
into the sea, it breaks away with noise
beside which the loudest report of artillery
is but q still small voice, and is carried
southwark by the ocean currents.
DR.. Isaac /. Hayes had the rare good
fortune to witness such a breaking away,
but under circumstances which left him
no wish to see another. The Danish cap
tain Of the little steamer which carried his
party decided after careful survey that
the face of the famous glacier of Serrnit>
sialek was safe against fracture for many
month and anchored SO near it that the
upper edge of the ice hung far over the
vessel.
The doctor and some of his party reached
the summit and ram bled for miles over its
surface, jumping over the great cracks
and climbing far down into the icy can
yons, but the sudden fractures and deaf
ening reports alarmed them.
After two days exploring and sketching
the captain decided that, after all, distance
would be an advantage, and they moved to
point out of danger. All at once there
came report louder than the loudest
thunder, and they saw the whole vast wall
moving down toward the water. 1t moved
quite slowly for a few minutes, then
SSSiuSO " over.
In minute or two the wave reached them;
the ship rose till the deck was almost per
pendicular, then went down almost upon
her beam ends, every one clinging desper-
ately for life, and the next instant deluge
of salt spray descended and almost buried
them.
"And there before u.s." says the doctor,
floating in the sea, above which its crest
rose 40 feet, was glittering mass of blue
"a lapis laZuli quarter of n mile in di-
ameter set in chased silver, as the sea was
but a mass of foam. An iceberg had been
born.'
AS about eight-ninths OF a berg is under
water, this one must have been over l 200
feet deep. 1t is d curious fact that Green
land has been steadily growing colder since
first occupied by the Norsemea. In the
year 9S3 Red Eric made settlement which
soon expanded into two provinces with
many thousand Inhabitants. OF the west.
ern province only the little fishing hamlet
Of Juliana Shaaf remains. OF the eastern
there is not trace save the foundations of
stone church and one granite tombstone.
When recovered in 1869 it still bore in old
Runic characters an inscription thus trans
lated:
Vigdis, Daughter of hero.
God Rejoice Her Soul.
Increasing cold, famine and isolation
from Europe reduced the colonists to a
handful, and these were massacred by the
Eskimos. Abandoned by man and covered
most of the year by ice the place is indeed
desolate, and from the adjacent sea at in
tervals of many years start those enormous
mountain masses of ice which make the
seasons of unusual danger for the Atlantic

How Storms Travel.

The storms that cross our country
are divided into two classes, one in
which there is deficiency of pressure,
known as ''low," the storm center be-
ing vacuum, or the place where the
atmospheric pressure is least, and the
wind blows spirally inward and upward
toward the center, with motion oppo-
site the movement of the hands of a
watch. and are generally attended by
warm, moist air. They travel across
the country at an average rate of about
six hundred miles in "a hours. It oc-
casionally occurs that their speed is
greatly accelerated. Especially is it
great when the major, Or longest, axis
(which is determined by the shape of
the isobars) extend east and west, and
their radius is confined to narrow
limits. In such cases the wind often
exceeds velocity of sixteen hundred
miles in "a hours, and the rain or
snow which falls is caused by the warm
moist air ascending to a considerable
height, where the moisture is condensed
by the cold of expansion, and the pre-
cipitation over the entire track becomes
unusually heavy, Such storms, as a
rule, follow the course of heaviest rain
fall.-From "How the Weather is Fore
cast" in Demorest's Family Magazine
for June.

EDITOR BARTON COUNTY DEMOCRAT:
In looking over the columns of last
weeks DEMOCRAT find the following ar
t1cle clipped from the Hoisington Dis
patch:
cit strikes tina. our twp. trustee, S. s. Shat
tuck, was allowed very small sam by the commits
sloners Tor his services assessor. Homes ead is
double township, and contains good sized town.
yet he was allowed but $50 for his services while
the assessors of Liberty, Buffalo. Independent
Walnut and Pawnee Rock townships were each
allowed larger sums. Mr.. Shattuck put in bill
for small amoun MT, and his bill should not have
been cut down.
After reading this article 1 was I'm.
able to think where the Dispatch gets
its information, and would be pleased
to learn from what source it came, as
it is grand Misrepresentation of the
case, false from beginning to end. II
the Dispatch will go to the trouble and
consult the columns of the DEMOCRAT
and Beacon it will find that the assess
or of Homestead township was allowed
a balance of sos. so, and, if remember
right, had drawn in April $4,000 as
part pay. Now will say this: if the
Dispatch was not intending to misrep
resent it was at least badly mistaken.

JERRY SIMPSON is quoted as saying
that he ''can be reelected to congress

We do not believe Jerry is correctly
quoted, because he has too long head
to make any such bad break. Jerry
could no more 60 back to congress from
this district without receiving sdemo-
cratic votes than Bro. Armstrong could
talk five minutes without berating
democrats. It is noticeable, however.
that all the improbable things that
Jerry is reported to have said is prin-
cipally reported in the republican
papers of this district Wonderful, how
much interest those fellows take in
Jerry! Peculiar, too, how so1icitous
the republicans are for the good of
democracy, and how anxious they are
