Glacier streams of Iceland.

All the glacier streams of Iceland

the common characteristics OF carry.

and clay aud of spreading out over the
lowlands In II network of anastomos.
Ing channels. Generally they emerge
from their parent Glaciers with a
pretty steep fall and gather heavy
burdens Of pebbles and debris from the
moraines so heavy, indeed, that when
the strength OF the current diminIshes
the stream cannot carry Its load but
drops It. The river bed thus gets chok-
ed up, the current divides. The strong.
est branches force their way through
the debris, encounter fresh obstacles,
run Into one another, cOalesca with
other branches, gain accessions of
power once more burst through the
deposits of gravel, send off small side
arms, again diminish In volume, and

picture of an extremely complicated

equally as variable as the rivers them

HIDDEN IN PETTIcoATs
Vast Wealth Of Woman Sewn Up
In Her Clothes.

Quite a sensation has recently been
caused at Jassy, In Roumania, by the
death OF Nine. Balsch, who has, by
her eccentriclties, for years past, at
tracted much attention in that town.
Some years ago she was the wife of
Herr Veldiman, by whom she had a
daughter. After year or two OF mar
ried life she divorced him and married
Herr Balsch, by whom she had q
son. Soon after the latters birth he
left her second husband.
She then went to Paris, where she
called herself Countess Won Balsch.
toward her children she never seemed
10 feel anything but the greatest ha-
tred and when her son died she sent
the body to his father for burial. She
turned her daughter out OF her house.
and the unfortunate girl was only kept
from starvation by the kindness of rel
atives. After the death of her second
husband she returned to Roumanla.
where she lived In complete retire
ment.
In spite OF the fact that she was ex-
tremely wealthy she lived In the most
Wretched manner, and was generally
reputeu TO be miser. A few days ago
she died. When her daughter came
to examine her belongings no trace of
money could be found. In going
thr0u. her mothers clothing, how.
ever, she noticed that one OF the petit.
coats seemed somewhat stiff. as it
heavily lined. She ripped 1t open and
round over 100000 notes sewed under
the lining.
This put her on the track, and all
ner mothers pettlcoats, OF which she
had an enormous number, were exam
ined. In nearly every one large sums
OF money were found, amounting all
together to between 2.OOO.OOO francs
and 100000 s.-Fremdenblatt

At every session OF the legislature
il is more and more strongly impress
ed on the people that as Legislative
body this branch of orr government
in The main fails Of it's purpose. 1t
does not pass many Of the laws the
people want and it does pass many
that they do not want. Like an an
Gent and broken tool the Legislative
body" IS out OF repair, and pEovokes
more often the anger Of its owner
than it serves his ends. Are legisla-
lures becoming an obsolete form OF
government? Nowadays the people
have come to point Of view where
they want to speak with their own
voices on public question and they
want to cast the ballots with their OVID
hands. They fret under so.called
representative government which does
not represent If the people could
have voted on the oleomargsrine bill,
there is no question what the result
would have been. Concerning many
other bills the same will apply. No
lobby can buy up the voters Of a
whole state. The enthusiasm with
which the voters enter into public
questions when they are given an
opportunity was shown IN the water
works election in Topeka. That is
the way the people want to act on
every public question. They don't
they Legislature which is at the beck
and call of rival interests to do these
things for them. They want to do
more Of the voting themselves. Is
there anyone who would say it isn't
safe to trust the peoples judgment?
Representative government IS good
