Serious Eucl Fnminc.

Sioux City, Iowa, Dec 10.-Ecports of suf-
ferlng from a scarcity of coal come from all
parts Of South Dakota, Northern Nebraska
and Western Iowa as II result Of the bliZ-
zard that swept over the Northwest. There
Is a scarcity in the hands of dealers that in
many cases amounts to no supply ut all.
Dealers charge the railroads with the re.
sponsibility, saying that coal ordered by
them was contscated en- route by the rail
rOads and used in their engines, the rail
way supply not being enough to furnisl
motive power for the great grain rush. A
Alpcna, $. d., the citizens became enragc,

The Cause of the Alpine Disaster
Which Overwhelmed a Part of st.

The Cause of the Alpine Disaster
Which Overwhelmed Part of st.
Gervais.
The biologists who have investigat-
ed the cause OF the great disaster
which overwhelmed a part OF St. Ger
vais, Switzerland. with ice and water
from the lower part OF the Bionassy
glacier have solved the mystery. Up
the side OF the mountain, at the foot
OF the steep glacial wall whose lower
part broke away. the explorers found
in he ice an oval cavern about l3O
feet in width and 75 feet in height In
the interior OF the cavern was a
corridor covered with blocks of ice.
1t was 45 feet long, 200 feet wide and
40 feet high. In this great cavity
there had been an intraglacial lake OF
whose existence no one had been
aware. The condition of the walls
proved that the cavity had been full
OF water recently.
The existence OF this great reservoir
explains the nature OF the immense
avalanche that whelemed the
valley below. The excessive heat OF
the days before the disaster had
probably increased the quality Of
water in thenatural reservoir and the
greater pressure broke the front wall.
cracking away the lower part OF the
| glacier, and permitting the immense
volumes OF water to pour down the
mountain into the valley below, car
rying with it the broken loot of the
glacier. The water and ice fell a dis.
tance OF 5000 feet down ar inclined
plane two miles long, and IL part OF
st. Gervais had been overwhelmed
almost before any one heard the roar
OF the approaching deluge.
This is the only accident due to
such remarkable cause ever known
in the alps. 1t has been followed
| however, by 81 somewhat similar ac-
cident at the Misaunglacier near Pom
tresina. 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 AZ swelling o.
the upper SHOWS which feed the gla
cicrs. They report that not n few o
the glaciers have been impossible
without great risk this season and
that the upper edges OF the great
crevasses have overbung in a remark
able manner. These factspoint to al
expansion OF the upper snow field by
great heat, and before the past season
was more than half over climber
were warned of this fact, which wa
doubtless thecause ofmany avalanch
es.
A fall of ice from one OF the glacier
in the Valley OF Nisp partly destroyed
the village OF Tasch, near Zermatt
1t carried away nearly u quarter OF
mile OF the hi ghway. The waters Q
