The sbory of the destruction of the
baths Of ST. Gcwais ut the foot Of
Mount Blame, in 1SO2, Is told in THE
Annals of Mount Blanc" This was
one of the culnmites that could scarce
ly have been predicted or ayerted.
Owing 20 the stoppage Of the sub.
glacial drainage, in some way never
Uscertained, a lake was formed under
the Tete Rousse glacier in which an
enormous body OF water was pent up
ut spot 10000 feet above the sea level.
Between 1 and o'clock on the night
Of July ~, 1902, the ice that had held
the lake gave way.
The water swept in .orrcnt of tire.
mendous force over the desert dc
Pierre Ronde, gathering up thousands
of tons Of rock and stones in itscourse.
IL passed with Il terrific roar under
the hamlet Of Bionussay which 1t did
not injure, destroyed half the village
Of Bionn0y on the highroad between
Oontnmines and st. Gervais and, tear
ing up trees Os II went along, joined
the main river of the Bon.NNnt.
Following The river bed and destroy,
in on It's way the old Point du Dable,
it hurled its seething food Of water,
timber, stones and mud upon the solid
buildings Of tlr st, GerOis baths and
crushed the into fragments, Then,
crossing the ChNmoniX road, 1t spread
itself out in the form OF Il hideous fan
over the valley Of the Arve, destroying
part of the village of lie POyet in its
way.
Such was the catastrophe Of st. Ger.
vais which claimed over $50 victims,
Utter ruin was everywhere. The once
lovely gardens Of the baths were five
or six feet deep in mud, fine trees had
been snapped like reeds and enormous
blocks Of stone were strewn over the

ADoLPH PATTERSON,

A Republican Question Answered In

"Whnt could Bryan do TO end the
Philippine lnsurrectlon more than Me-

and the addition follows close; "rhe
United States has got the Philippines
and has got to keep them, We can't

In his speech Of acceptance Bryan

This is the policy outlined In the
democratic platform, The object Of

M'KINLEY's METHODS.
The President Can Talk Enough, hut
He starts In with the
Wrong Cue.

Results this year have not justified
Mr. McKiney's methods as a campaign
dehngrator, His trouble is not that he
misunderstands the people--he is too
experienced poIitcian--but that he
has the wrong cue.
TalIcyrard once informed his wife
that he proposed bringing an eminent
traveller home to dinner He told her
where to find the travellers book in the
library, so that she might talk to him
about his adventures. Unfortunately,
madame got hold OF "RoblnSon CRU
soc" She SKINNED, through as much
of it as she could on short notice and
opened the conversation at dinner by
asking her guest: "pr0y, what has be-
come Of your man Friday?"
Mr.. Mckinley, like Nine, T0llcyrand,
can talk effectively. but, like her. he
has the wrong cue, The people, eager
TO hear Imperialism discussed by the
Oreh-impcrialist, fairly hang upon his
words, But Mr., Mckinley merely re-
marks: 81 cont trust that Bryan,
He's eyasive."--N. y, journal.
