In 1884, relate that they were eye-wit-

OF palliating this Russian atrocity they
were informed that houses in Moscow

DANCER NEAR IcEBERos.
Much Damage Frequently Results From
Collision. with the Monsters.

Collisions with the Monsters.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Every year we receive from ships
homeward bound by way of Cape Horn
from San Francisco and Portland, the
west coast ports of South America,
Australia and New Zealand, reports of
encounters with masses of ice, large
and small sometimes singly, sometimes
I'm groups so numerous as to spread
over the whole surface or the sea ana
leave scarcely any space OF clear, open
water. through which escape may be
made. Last year was an exception TO
the rule, and the present season viii
probably have a large crop of casual
ties TO report. Happily. II is not always
possible 20 guage the extent of the
damage done by these floating mons
tiers, for IL a ship goes down after
crashing into a berg, she leaves no
trace of her presence and when she is
posted as missing no known cause OF
her loss can be definitely stated. For
all that is known to the contrary. she
may just as well have gone down off
the Horn. after having been thrown on
her beams ends and dsmasted in
sudden squall.
The occurrence of ice in the compar-
atively low ATTITUDES of Cape Horn and
the Falkland islands is easily explain
ed The ice has originally formed part
few breaks, surrounds the vast Ant
arctic continent, rising to an average
hight of from $50 to 200 feet above and
sinking from LOO feet TO 1,400 feet be-
low the level of the sea, and having,
moreover, a thickness of something like
1000 feet or 1900 felt 1t is a solid.
perpendicular wall of ice formed by the
descent over the lowlands into the sea
of ice and snow which forms on the
mountainous inland, and when the
forefronts are pushed into the depths
about 300 or 400 fathoms large stretch
es are broken off and float away north
ward with the current. When they
start on their aimless career they may
be miles in extent, and though as a
rule they break up by collision and
erosion. IL is not unusual to encounter
an island miles long in the neighbour
hood of the extreme ice limit For in
stance. the Coldinghame in this region
passed about 200 bergs. one of which
was ten miles long. The Guilty Sark,
again. in latitude SO south. longitude
AZ west, found by cross bearings and
distance run that the east side OF one
berg which she encountered was 10
miles long. At first the masses are
straight, fiat-topped and horizontally
stratified-altogether unlike those met
with in the north. BY the action OF
the waves they are cut at the waters
edge in coves and caverns OF a heav-
emily blue color. Then as they collide
or get melted away at the base by the
action of the water they turn over and
show to the wondering mariner those
fantastic shapes which simply beggar
all description. Naturally, as they
travel further north they become
smaller and still more strangely shap-
ed and ultimately melt away.

INCREASING IN NUMBERS.
Indians Have Been multiplying Rapidly
In Recent Years.

Indians Have Been multiplying Rapidly
In Recent Years.
Secretary Hoke Smith in the Youths
Companion.
The reservations are too small 10 per-
NIT the old, w1de-ranging Indian hab-
its, and the red men are compelled TO
live In localities entirely unsuited TO
the wild customs OF their forefathea-s.
Through this changed condition, IL has
frequently been said, the Indian will
rapidly die out; but information re-
ceived at the Indian bureau shows this
is an error. There are now about 30O,-
900 Indians in the United States, and IL
is evident that they are increasing In
numbers. People may differ as to past
treatment of the Indians, and as to
whether NJ was right TO take from them
the vast empire now occupied by the
millions of thriving. Industrial whites,
but II has been done, and no one can
doubt that now a duty rests upon us
TO give the Indian an occupation which
will take the place of that former row.
ing life which he has lost. We have
compelled him to make way for civili-
zation; he must be civilized to become
self-supporting in the conditions forced
upon him. Among the things which
we give him are schools in which $4,000
Indian children are now being taught.
These schools are of three kind-non-
reservation boarding schools. reserva-
ton boarding schools and day schools.
Chief among the nonreservation
boarding schools Is the large school OF
Carlisle, Pa Here $50 Indian boys and
girls are taught those branches which
our own children learn in grammar and
high schools. During portions OF the
year these children are hired out to the
good people of Pennsylvania in places
where they are required to work on
farms and in private families. This, OF
course, is a great help to the young In
dams. II gives them an insight into
practical life and teaches them how TO
act for themselves. The children in
school like this are fitting, not simply
TO go back on the reservations. but 10
scatter throughout the United States
and take their chances with the rest
of our citizens They are taught how
to work and support themselves by Ia
Dor, and this is lesson which every
child should learn, whether red, white
or black.
Progress is being made by many OF
the Indians Some of them now teach
mechanical pursuits; some farm, and
many more readily learn to. watch and
herd cattle. But blanket" Indians are
still to be found in very great num-
bers. BY blanket Indians we mean
those who do not wear citizens clothes,
but who are clad in buckskin shoes and
leggings, and wrap themselves In great
blankets instead of wearing coats and
vests. while some of them in warm
weather wear scarcely any clothing at
all. Many of them still know nothing or
civilization or of Christianity. Their
religious ceremonies are too often still
heathenish, and they are regardless of
marriage ties.
