RUSH or IN AVALANCHE.
Perils of Travel in the Snow Mountains of
British Columbia.
TFrom the Victoria Colonist.I

British Columbia.

Imagine If you can the very toughest
bit of nature you have ever seen, or
take a newspaper, crumple it into a
ball, and placing 1t on a table suppose
all its raised parts to be peaks, and the
hollows ravines: picture the sharp
edges as ridges more or less timbered,
the hollows bare, smooth, or steep as
the steepest house you know Of, and
you have an idea Of the mountains and
gorges Of the SLOGAN.
Let us suppose we are standing near
the summit Of one of these ridges on q
bright, sunny day in January. 1t has
been showing continually for days, and
the beautiful" lies in plenteous profu-
sion everywhere, six to eight feet deep
in the timbered ridges, and any depth
you like in the ravines; the SUN gets
warmer UP above you, near the crest
Of the mountain, little bits of crystals
detach themselves and go rolling down
the slope; q tiny crack forms at your
feet and widens across the gulch; in an
instant the whole snowy mass is in mo-
tion, and with al kissing, rustling sound
and an upheaval along Its edges, goes
hurting down the gorge. Faster and
faster it glides; the air is filled with
snowy spume; where you stood it was
rivulet; a thousand feet below 1t is a
mad torrent: the noise increases as 1t
gains momentum.
Rocks are torn loose, broken to at
oms or ground to powder, trees uproot-
ed and broken to pieces, logs smashed
to splinters. At half a mile on Its path
1t presents crest of twenty to thirty
feet in height and moves faster than an
express train; woe betide any living
thing In its way now. Nothing made
by man can stand before it; the wind
OF its creation is a hurricane, a cloud Of
snow and dust follows in it's wake; in a
seething torrent 1t pours over rock and
preclpice, and moving resistlessly ON
leaves in its track broken and crushed
Of rock and trees and the
smooth and polished grasses In the
gorge. The thunder dies; is gone; and
the avalanche Is passed. Down at the
foot of the slope. q mile away, noun
tains of snow tossed up in hopeless
chaos a wild tangle Of rocks, earth,
trees and logs remain to mark the slide,
and often, alas! too often, the bodies of
brave men caught in it's rush, lie buried
In it's icy embrace.
All around you can hear. day and
night, the distant, muff1ed roar of pass
Ing avalanches. They come and go at
all times and at all hours; each year a
new one Is created, for the older ones

MALARIA.

Since ''the grip got around we don't
hear as much about malaria as we once
did, but it is still in the ring. 1t has not
been forgotten in North Carolina, and
DR.. r. H. Lewis, the secretary of the
State board Of health, thinks that he
can say something rather definite about
it. He finds that a certain amount of
poison exists in the air of warm
climates, especially in the vicinity of
low, wet soils where decaying vegetable
matter is present, but he quotes the in
vestigations Of Laveran to show that
water is the principal vehicle Of the
malarial poisons. BY experiment these
results have been found: a. OF persons
living in identical conditions, but using
water from different sources, those will
be attacked who drink certain kinds of
water, while the rest will escape. a.
In localities deemed unhealthy persons
have ceased to contract malariaI dis

eases when supplied with pure drinking
water in lieu of the previously used
stagnant waters. o. In localities
otherwise healthy one may contract In
termittent fever by drinking water from
an unhealthy locality, and the persons
mostaffected are those who drink the
water most freely. a. Travellers in
malarial countries find that by boiling
their drinking water they in most cases
escape the disease. Still further to
trace the causes OF malaria, DR.. Lewis
sent out to the leading physicians of
the North Carolina districts most sub
Jeot to the disease lists of inquiries
concerning the conditions attending the
infection, and replies went to show that
malaria is most common among per-
sons who use Surface water" which
includes water from shallow wells"
and branch or ditch water" On the
other hand, exemption from 1t has been
obtained by many large and small COM
munities that drink only water from
deep driven wells, artesian we'll, and
cisterns.
So far, so good. BY and by we shall
perhaps know what malaria really is.

a DUrTFUL ADMIssTON.

! We have wofbbled for day or two be-
tween pride and duty, but duty has con-
quered, as usual, and we therefore ad-
init and aver that during the long, in
teresting and useful Charities and Cor
rection convention Woman rose and
shone superior to Man. She looked bet
ter than Man-much better She pranc-
ed around more actively and gracefully
than Man did. And her looks and her
action were in full harmony with her
mental display. She seemed to grasp
and wrestle with tough problems with
more skill and less spurious sentiment
than Man She was all business, or, at
least, more business than Man was. She
was less professional in her philanthro-
py than Man and more practical She
was also more grammatical. We do
not mean by all this that Man did not
make a good showing at the conven-
ton. He did. But Woman made bet
ter one. She greatly surprised many
who are not yet sure that Woman
ought TO speak in meeting, and she
greatly encouraged some who have been
betting on her ever since she entered
the race with Man for supremacy.
So much for truth and duty and the
hrst part of an eventful week. But
male pride had an inning yesterday
when, in Buffalo Bills arena, surround
ed by admiring and applauding thou
sands, Sam Garter mounted and rode
an animal which contained in its own
improper self a combination of the devil
and a jumping jack. We would like to
see any woman do that even with the
aid of bloomers, suspenders, flannel
shirt with flowing necktie, short hair
and a Gainsborough sombrero.

The latest fads OF those whose IA

what might be called literary and

Book-plates and posters are now the
proper things to collect, and before
them the postage stamp dwindles to- i'm
significance. The book-plate mania
though of quite recent origin, numbers
it's thousands of votaries. In several
countries societies of collectors have
been formed, monthly journals are pub
lished, and books upon the subject
abound and multiply. A few years ago

which the topic has for a multitude of

This same small end is causing milli-
ners no end of worry for the demand
for hats that are odd is great, and Is
made hard to meet because so many
women want headgear that is small or
slight of material, and yet so unusual
| in appearance and construction as to
excite the admiration of all beholders.
The milliner then is called ON to make
much out of little, which is always a
hard task, but she is well rewarded
these days if she succeeds. A hat that
well illustrates this much sought sort
Is shown here, and is made Of white
mousseline de sole so draped over a
wire frame as to form a large wing at
either side Of the front The latter is
gathered at the sides where 1t meets the
bows and Is fastened with large Jet or
naments. The material Is drawn loose
ly at the sides and forms a rosette in
the back. The only other ganiture is
an aigrette placed at the right side.
The bows that stand out require stiff
fleming, for dropping would constitute a
serious defect.
Hats Of this sort expose a good deal
of the hair, but In this respect they are
far eXcelled by bonnets, which are Oft
en- worn away back where the head be-
gins to slope rapidly downward. With
such headwear stylish, the hair itself
naturally needs much attention. Hap
PLY fashions in Embarrassing are never
as imperative as the styles of dress,
and woman is ever permitted to adapt
whatever method best suits her, but
just now there is decided preference
for central parting, with the locks
combed down over the face smoothly,
The bang and the fluff CT sudden friz
at the forehead have both distinctly
gone by, and it is not advisable to con-
tinue to indulge liking for either if
they can be avoided without producing
unpleasant results. FLORETTE.

AT Tebessa, in Algeria, near the Tunis

At Tebessa, in Algeria, near the Tunis
frontier. a strange megalithio village
has been discovered. At the foot Of
shell limestone cliff, half a mile from
the phosphate mines, are many large
boulders from So to 40 feet in circum-
ference. which have fallen from the
cliff. These are followed out into rooms
about seven feet square, and openings
cut In the rock for windows and doors.
AS megalithio tombs, large slabs sup
ported on upright stones, are near by,
it is probable that these little rooms
were used as dwellings and not as
burial places.

FASHION NOTES.

Your Head the Small End of You;
With all the talk of the new woman
and of the woman Of intellect, It is quite
the style again for a woman to have the
small beautifully shaped head of which
we may still read in the old fashioned
novel. This comes about naturally
enough because Of the enormous sweep
that is being cultivated from the wo-
mans throat to the tips of her sloping
sleeves. This unbroken line is now
good deal longer than the line from her
throat to her waist, and the effect Is to
make her head look like dusky orange
on the top of a hill, The effect is en-
phasized, too, because she is drawing
her hair close about her face and de-
creasing its apparent size. The loose
blouse effect about the waist robs wo-
men of another comparison, and in pro-
portion to this girth the head seems
still smaller. Then away fly the skirts
until no matter what the size shoe she
wears her head is the small end Of her.

Ole OF the great problems IN cOmneC-
tion with the increase IN the number of
British war-ships has been how to pro-
cure able seanen enough to man them.
This seems to- have been solved, at least
in part. by the success of an experiment
which was begun some months ago.
Under the old rule boys were allowed
to enter the navy between the ages Of
fifteen years and sixteen and half.
After twenty months training in ships
in harbor they We're sent to sea and
became ordinary seamen at eighteen.
According to the new plan a man-of-
war Is sent to visit different seaports
of the United Kingdom, recruit boys
UP to the age of eighteen years, take
them to sea at once for practical in
struction and convert them into orai-
nary seamen after six months of actual
sea-service. The plan thus far has
worked wonderfully we'll. The man
of-war has proved a most powerful re-
cruiting agent. and a class of boys
has been obtained far superior physi-
cally to those secured under the old
arrangement. The Irish boys are said to
have the finest physique, while the Eng
lish and Scotch boys have the advan-
tage in education. Wherever it was
possible to take the man-of-war clnse

M. Andre, the celebrated Swedish
aeronaut, who has received large
subscription from King Oscar I'M aid of
his proposed attempt 10 reach the North
pole by balloon, is chief engineer Of
the Patent office at Stockholm and
has made some veEy successful and
daring voyages through the air. At a
recent session of the Swedish academy
of sciences, he expressed the belief that
a balloon could make the voyage from
Spitzbergen over the North pole in
about thirty days. The enterprise will
cost about $36, 900 and he is likely to get
kl1e money.

Science publishes a report on ventila-
zion by four noted experts on SANTA
hion, Drs. Weir, Mitchell, Bergey and
Billings. Among other things it says:
The air in an inhabited room, such as
the hospital ward in which experiments
were made, is contaminated from many
sources besides the expired air of the
occupants, and the most important of
the communications are in the form of
minute particles or dust. The expert
ments on the air of the hospital ward,
and with the moisture condensed there
from, show that the greater part of
the ammonia in the air was connected
with dust particles which could be re-
moved by filter. They also show that
in this dust there were micro-organ-
isms, including some of the bacteria
which produced Inflammation and sup
puration, and it is probable that these
were the only dangerous elements in
this air.

tricts where the cost of fuel is high.
An Oregon iron manufacturer says that
while iron is manufactured in Germany
at IS a ton it costs here $40 a ton for
fuel to smelt the metal. In Alabama,
where coal and iron mines are close to-
gether and negro labor is cheap, the
iron is sme1ted for SIS a ton, and the
freight on 1t to Portland is $40 tom
Pig iron used to bring $50 to $95 a ton
in Oregon, and finally it was reduced
to S23. This left but little profit when
the fuel cost $40 to the ton Of iron, and
renders competition with Alabama iron
impossible. The Oregon ironmaster re-
CARDS smelling by electricity as the
only hope for the iron industry in his
state. BY using water power to gene
rate the electricity 1t will be possible
to smelt iron as cheap there as else
where. Electric smelling works have
already been started in Portland, where
a piece Of iron was recently exhibited
which had been made by electricity
from black sand in twenty minutes.
