ANTARCTIC ICE.
II Differs Considerably from That OF the
Northern Regions.

II Differs Considerably from That OF the
Northern Regions.
The difference in the formation OF
Arctic and Antarctic ice, as is we'll
known, is very great. While the north
ern bergs mostly consist of large ice
mass running up into numberless tow
ers and arches resembling the noun
tain peaks which surround the glaciers
from which they were torn. the Ant
arctic berg are solid masses OF floating
ice, with perpendicular walls, and an
unbroken plateau on the top.
All showed plainly whether they were
broken from the large southerly bar
rier or discharged from the glaciers OF
Victoria Land. All the barrier bergs
had very distinct blue lines across their
walls, Indicating the annual growth by
snowfall. These lines were, of course.
not to be found on the glacier ice. The
latter also showed more likeness to the
northern ice than did the former. The
peaks and towers of the Arctic icebergs
are supposed to be formed by the In
fuence of ocean currents wearing away
the softer part of the ice-mass under
water, until the natural law of gravita-
ton forces it to upset.
But why have the Antarctic icebergs
different appearance? It is certain
that in the Antarctic waters there are
also currents. Yet even icebergs that
have gone as far north as the south OF
New Zealand have all maintained the
marks of their Antarctic origin. cam
not see any other reason for this dis
similarity between the bergs Of tho
north and those of the south but that
the Arctic icebergs, as a rule, must pass
through climes which in temperature
rapidly change from one extreme to
another, and the icebergs take much
longer time in floating southwark than
do the Antarctic icebergs in advancing
northward, and thus, as rule, the
northern icebergs exist much longer
than those of the Antarctic.-C. e.

After a great triumph at the polls
Ohio republicans are preparing for a
dangerous conflict over the patronage.
The Foraker element is on top, and that
leader is consistent advocate of the
spoils system. 1t is the Foraker men
who are now opposed to third termism
for the men who have held the offices
during McKinley's two administra-
tions. They will carry the day, too,
and the rotation will begin soon. Then
will follow the inevitable dissatisfac-
ton accompanying a distribution of
the spoils, and to this will be added the
disturbance of the public service, due
to putting it in inexperienced hands.
Ohio republicans win be fortunate il
all this does not lead to disaster for the
party.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

POMONA
Numerous Residents Know and Respect the
Democratic Nominee

POMONA, July 10.-Much interest was
manifested here today when the returns
of the balloting for nominations for the
presidency were posted at the Western
Union office, when it was announced
that Bryan of Nebraska had captured
the nominations a man was heard to say:
That's the fellow: he's as bright as the
new silver dollar-party that he repre-
sents.'
w. ]. Berry, a resident of this valley,
says that he is well acquainted with
Bryan, and is an old neighbor of his,
or nearly so, as they lived in an adjoining
county, and has seen a good deal of
Bryan, and Berry states that Bryan
will carry Nebraska by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Bryan, he says, is very
popular, and if it hadn't been for his
youth would have long ago been fam

death from the most deadly poison
known among the Indians AT the time
of the test l witnessed the medicine
man summon dozen OF his young as
sistants around a caldron, which was
steaming and boiling with roots leaves,
horned toads, rattlesnake heads, and a
score of other kinds of articles. l was
told that this was the anti-poison medf-
cine. In an hour the stuff was cooled
and ready for use. The chief man
drank literally of the strange tea and
then his body was literally washed
with some liquid that made it impervi-
Gus to poison. The body bare to the
waist was then painted in red and
white streaks. A fox skin hung from
the waist. The medicine man bounded
into the arena with 'ho-ho' brand
ishing over his head two Gila monsters.
Then he varied the program by twirling
them around his body and permitting
them to crawl all over him. He teased
the reptiles, poked his thumb into their
mouths and even put them up to his race.
1 am sure the man was bitten several
times. We looked upon this feat OF OAR
ing with horror while the Indians view
ed it with superstitious frenzy and show
cred upon the medicine chief all the
presents they could command

Very few persons bitten by Gila mon

until a few minutes before death. Ply
scians say that the poison sets up tre-
mendous action of the heart and the VIC
tim really dies of heart failure. The per-
son who has been drinking to excess
few days or a few hours before he is in
jured by a ella monster is almost sure
of death in half an hour after the bite.
Many physicians in the territory say
that alcoholic sti,nulants are worse than
useless for a person hurt by the reptile.
