Gradually the wall-like ends Of the ic.
cap are forced into the sea, and these
are called glaciers. Year after year the
enormous pressure inland sends the ice
further into the water, but the whole
mas Is SO solid that no force seems
great enough to wrest a piece from the
main body. But the all-powerful sea
performs the seeming miracle. 1t Is tho
upward pressure Of the water on the
floating end Of the glacier that finally
wears down its strength and causes 1t to
burst from the ice cap with the oar Of 9
thousand cannon. This Is the birth OF
the iceberg.
Slowly the released mammoth moves
first n way and then the other. Great
pieces drop off into the sea, but finally
1t finds Its equilibrium. Then it begins
tss long journey to the south, moved by
the strong Arctic current running deep
and strong hundreds Of fathoms below
the waters surface, and grasping the
ends Of the berg In a relent-
less grip. Further SOUTH where the
berg meets the northward current Of
the gulf stream, the underlying Arctic
current is still strong enough to push
the mass along, but the opposite pres

mass which centuries labored to create

Measuring Starlight.

An English astronomer named Min
chin has invented an instrument which
accurately measures the quantity of
light given out by a star. Stars are
designated as being Of the first, down
to the twentieth magnitude, according
to the degree Of light emitted. This
has heretofore been Judged by the eye,
which precluded anything like ex-
actitude. By the new invention the
rough designation is presented by
numbers, which gives the exact ratio
Of one star to another in the light-giv-
ing powers. The star Arcturus, for ex-
ample, is estimated by the new process
to give seventy-flye and three-quarters
times the light Of Regulus. The in.
strument will be of great use not only
in astronomy, but In meterology also.
The amount of light which reaches the
earth from stars varies according to
the state Of the atmosphere; and the
inventor claims that forecasts Of wealth.
er can be obtained In this way which
will be far more accurate than those
obtained at present.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
Concentrating the Manure.

There is no farIa that makes all the
manure that its owner could profitabl,
use Ii %cultiyating it; hence we must
either purchase commercial fertilizers
Or restrict his production to the area he
can fertilize. 1t does not pay to spread
an insufficient quantity Of anure over
the whole farm in order to cultivate
the whole. That involves waste of
labor on land that had much better be
left n grass, though where there is a
near market for garden products buy
ing commercial fertilizers will always
pay. In proportion to their effective
ness, these concentrated manures pay
better than staple manure made Oh the
farm.

A Fierce Fight With Sharks.

Sharks are unusually plentiful and
daring among the reefs and keys of
Florida this season. The spongers and
wreckers have great trouble in conse-
.quence, for their business compels
them to do more or less work beneath
the surface.
Two wreckers were out in a small
boat sounding for a Spanish schooner
that had foundered on the reefs of
coral atoll near Key West, and while
resting in their work they saw a pilot
fish approaching them followed by two
sharks. The water was calm and still
and the big blue fins could plainly be
seen cutting the water. Almost in a
moment the foremost shark discovered
them, and, coming with a rush, struck
the boat with such force as nearly to
capsize it. The other fellow shot for
ward in a similar manner; but, glanc-
ing to II side, caught in it's huge
mouth the blade of one of the weighted
oars, and ground off a large piece as if
the tough wood had been so much
cork. This it swallowed almost in
stantly; then describing a long, grace
full curve in the water it turned about,
and onc more came charging down
upon the boat. The men stood ready
to receive the second shock, and the
brute rushing with the velocity of an
arrow sprang clear above the surfa 90,
projecting its jaws over the end Of &c
boat, (which was drawn down ais,
swamped.
Having neither load o ballast, the
light craft did not sink, but easily sup
ported the weight of the two men, who
nevertheless fully realized the peril
GUS position in which they were
placed. One Of the wreckers, throw
ing his left arm around the mast to
steady himself, struck outward and
downwaRa with the boats ak with all
his force. The blow fell fair upon the
snout of the shark that had caused the
boat to swamp and penetrated the flesh
to the depth of several inches and laid
it open to the bone. Meanwhile the
other wrecker had all he could do to
stand off the other shark. Striking out
with a heavy handspike, he thrust the
end of the implement between the jaws
of the monster just as it rushed at him
with %wide-open mouth. The shark
promptly seized the handspike in its
powerful grip, tore it from the mans
hands, and, rushing off through the
water, ground the timber into frag-
ments and swallowed them.
Shark No. l was now rolling about
on the surface a short distance away,
apparently in great distress; and its
mate, passing in that direction and
seeming the blood, Immediately
ponnced upon the wounded creature
md tried to make a short job of it.
But the wounded fish was not a dead
shark by any means. There was an
exciting scrap from the start. The
fought Gil oyer the waves, lash
ing and ehurning the water into foam.

A Novel RacA.

A race which the older citizens Of q
town in West Jersey love to tel about
occurred q good many years ago, the
contestants being q bull and a horse.
Seely Silnpkins, an enterprtsing youth.
who made a pet Of everything on his
fathers farm, trained a young bull to
tho saddle and rode him to mill. Horses
were comparatively rare in those days,
and tie swift steeds Of the present
racc-trachs were unknown.
Seeley and "Joclk' were the butt Of a
good many Jokes, but Seeley took them
with good humor, and contentedly rode
the bull to mill. Then, while his grist
was being ground, he would ride his
singular steed about the settlement,
wlistling merrily, and showing off the
bulls best PAGES.
III fact, the boy was exceedingly
Jealous Of Jocks reputation as q road
ster, and one day at the mill, goaded
by the b%antering words Of n n,igh5or,
he declared that he wasn't afraid to
ace the bull against any horse that
could be found Whereabouts.
lie was taken at his word, and within
2 week q race was arranged between
the bull and Tom Iryine's horse. Judges
were appointed, stakes put up, and g
race-track i%mprovised for the occasion
At the hour appointed a crowd Of in
teresled spectators assembled.
AS the horse and bull appeared, each
fitted out in ~gay-colored trappings and
ridden by its owner, vociferous and
prolonged applause burst forth. The
horse was frightened by the noise and
baked. If the bull was frightened he
did not show it, but urged on by a twis,
of its tail and the voice Of it's owner,
galloped along in fine style, and OF
purse easily reached the winning post
ahead.
Tom and his friends were disappoint-
ed, and declared that the start was I'M
fair. Seeley, elated with success, was
quite willing to try it over again. the
horse behaved better at the second
trial, and it was a neck and neck race;
but Jock was on his mettle. Both riders
were wild with excitement and Lrg ID
their steeds to the utmost, and in this
they were aided by the shouts and
yells Of the bystanders; and again The
bull came n ahead, though by scarcely
more than d hands breadth.

Rescued From a Panther.

John J. Fian, of New York, while
fishing near F5jrt Pierce, Fla, with a
party, hal1serrible experier%Sith a
panther. . Being interested in the
sport, they threw the fish 81 the banks
as they went N,aong andse@ separated.
Mr.. Finn, on golEg~enrough a picket,
came face to face with a huge panther
feasting on some Of the fish that had
been left.
Mr.. Finn picked up q light wood
knot and threw it at the beast, shout
ing with all his might. He also drew
his hunting knife. The panther, en-
ragged at being disturbed, suddenly
jumped at Mr.. Finn. The latter
turned and attempted to escape. The
panther's claws caught him on the
shoulder, ripping his coast and shirt
down and lacerating his back badly.
Mr.. Finn made a thrust at the panther
with his hunting knife, but the beast
knocked it out of his hand with O blow
Of his paw. Selling a cudgel Mr.. Finn
managed to deal the beast a heavy
blow, which temporarily stunned him.
Hardly had Mr.. Finn gotten ten
feet away before he heard the panther
after him again. With t%remendou.
leaps he came on and dashed up to
him, crouching low for the fatal spring.
Just then a report was heard at the
side of the path, the strength of the
beast was gone, and with a snarl OF
rage and pain he fell dead. Mr. Finn
up and saw Billy Bowlegs, a
He had been on the trail
Of the beast all the afternoon, and had
there just in time to save Mr..
life.

mans nirrerest Enemy.

'Sin is always mans bitterest en-
envy" writes Dwight l.. Moody, in
"Mr. Moody's Bible Glass;" In the
Ladies' Home Journal. TT separates
him from his Maker. It separates him
from his fellow-beings. No position ID
to ohigh for sin to debase; no place SO
hallowed but it seeks to corrupt; no
home so sacred but 1t seeks to destroy.
Sin, like holiness, is a mighty leveler,'
says a distinguished divine. And what
may be the u Of the thousands OF
suicides which have occurred during
the past year If it Is not q loathing of
self? 1t Is sin then which makes q
man loathe himself. 1t Is sin which
makes mans life become a burden from
which he so often seeks to free himself
by his own hand"
