Otis Springer, W no was severely shaken
up and received some injuries while
busted in unloading hay, is quite himself
again.
The high school opens with sixty
pupils. Miss Hattie Higgins has been
tanned as assistant part Of each day,
having two of the higher classes for reei
tation in lower room.
There have been no pleasanter reminders
of the season, and none more worthily
bestowed, than was the nice Morris chair
by Alfred era btree and other thoughtful
friends at Hancock, upon one of their
former residents, Mrs. Julia A. Dyer,
most estimab BILE woman of this place, who
is one of the band of shut ms" from
pased limbs.
Again the community was sadly sur
prised Sunday morning to learn that Mrs.
Gertrude, " lie OF Roscoe Bragdou, had
died al a. m. Thong never strong, she
had been in her usual health until Within
few days, " hen she appeared to have an
attack OF the grip, which resulted III
heart failure. The afflicted hu- band and
two little daug hters have the heartfelt
sympathy OF all in their bereavement.
Franklin's esteemed townsman, samuel
Springer, died Friday afternoon and was
buried Sunday from his late home. Mr..
Springer was Gig hty years OF age. He had
not been a bic to do act i've service for several
years though he often attempted some
light work about his place. For the past
two years his strength failed visibly. No
word of complaint was uttered, but pa
tiently bearing the weakness that over
came him, he waited calmly the release
from his bodily infirmities, looking for
ward to the emo which came peacefully.
Nearing the brig liter home beyond, he
recognized dear children who bad pre-
coded the father years ago. Mr.. Springer
leaves a wife and three daughter who
have done loving service for the kind
husband and parent. Rev. J. E.
Lombard officisted at the funeral. The
sympathy OF their many friends is ex-
tended to the family.

ANTARCTIC ICE.
IL Differs Considerably from that of
the Northern Regions.

IL Differs Considerably from that of
the Northern Regions.
The difference in the formation of
Arctic and Antarctic ice, as is well known,
is very great. While the northern bergs
mostly consist OF large ice mass running
up into umberIess towers and arches re-
sembling the mountain peaks which sur
rounded the glaciers from which they
were torn, the Antarctic bergs are solid
walls, and an unbroken plateau on the
top.
All showed distinctly whether they
were broken from the large sout herIy
barrier 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 snow
fall. These lines were OF course not to be
found on the glacier ice. The latter also
showed more likeness to the mort hern ice
than did the former. The peaks and
towers OF the Arctic icebergs are supposed
to be formed by the influence Of ocean
currents wearing away the softer part OF
the ice mass under water, until the nat
ural law of gravitatlon forces II to upset.
But why have the Antarctic icebergs
different appearance? IL 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. | cannot see any
other reason for this similarity be-
tween the bergs of the 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 anot her, and the icebergs take
much longer time in floating southwark
than do the Antarctic Icebergs in sdvanc-
ing northward, and thus, as a rule, the
northern icebergs exist much longer
than those OF he Antarctic Century.
