The story of the destruction OF the
baths OF st Gervais at the foot Of
Mont Blanc. In 1892, is told in ''rhc
Annals of Mont Blanc" This was one
of the calamities that could scarcely
have been predicted or averted.
Owing TO the stoppage of the sub
glacial drainage, in some way never
ascertained. lake was formed under
the Tete Rousse glacier, in which an
enormous body of water was pent up
at n spot 10000 feet above the sea lev
ell Between l and o'clock on the
night of July IL. 1892. the ice that had
held the lake gave way.
The water swept in a torrent of tre-
mendous force over the Desert de
Pierre Ronde, gathering up thousands
of tons OF rock and stones In its course.
1t passed with terrific roar under the
hamlet of Bionnassay, which 1t did not
injure. destroyed half the village of
Bionnay on the highroad between Con-
tamines and st. Gervais and, tearing
up trees as it went along. Joined the
main river of the Bon-Nant.
Following the river bed and destroy
ing on its way the old Pont du Diable,
ii hurled its seething food of water,
timber. stones and mud upon the solid
buildings of the st. Gervais hafhs and
crushed them into fragments. Then,
crossing the Chamonlx road, IL spread
itself out in the form of hideous fan
over the valley of the Arve, destroying
part of the village of LIE Fayet 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
dreary waste.

How He Obtained Quiet.

At one of the meetings during Mr..
Moody's services In Kansas City hymn
sheets were distributed by the ushers
just previous to his address. He was
feeling very tired, and speaking was a
great exertion; so, fearing the noise
that would result should the audience
rustic them, he resolved to get rid Of
them. He called out, "Will everybody
who has hymn sheet hold 1t upT
The sheets were held up all over the
hall. Mr.. Moody shouted, Now shake
themw
Twelve thousand fimsy sheets of pa
per were shaken vigorously. They
made an indescribably musical sound.
There is nothing to compare 1t with.
One can only say 1t was a vast rustic.
THAT will do" called Mr.. Moody at
the top OF his voice. The sound ceased.
"All right" said Mr.. Moody. Now sit
on those hymn Sheets" The audience
BAT on them. Having taken this pre-
caution against interruption, Mr.. MOO
dy began his sermon.

And then n new time rises. We are
years old. We can read now, read
the Bible. Best of all, we like the
story of Elijah in his cave at Horeb
and the still small voice.
One day, n notable one, we read on
the "kopje" and discover the fifth chap
ter of Matthew and read it all through.
1t is a new gold mine. Then we tuck
the Bible under our arm and rush
home They didn't know it was wick
ed to take your things again If some
one took them, wicked to go to law,
wicked to We are quite breath
less when we get to the house. We
tell them that we have discovered
n chapter they never heard. We tell
them what it says. The old wise peo-
pie tell us they know all about 1t. Our
discovery is n mares nest to them,
but to us 1t Is very real. The Ten Com
mandmcnts and the old "Thou shalt"
we have heard about long enough and
don't care. about 1t, but this new law
sets us on fire. We will deny oursclf
Our little wagon that we have made
we give to the little Kaflirs. We keep
quiet when they throw sand Mt us, feel
ing, oh, so happy. We conscicntiously
put the cracked teacup for ourselves at
breakfast and take the burned roaster
cake. We save our money and buy
threepence of tobacco for the Uotten-
tot maid who calls us names. We are
cxotically vlrtuous. At night we are
profoundly religious Even the tick
ing watch says, Eternity, eternity,
hell, hell hell" and the silence talks
Of God and the things that shall be.
Occasionally also unpleasantly shrewd
questions begin TO be asked by some
one, we know not whom, who sits
somewhere behind our shoulder We
get to know him better afterward.
Now we carry the questions to the
grown up people, and they give us an
swers. We are more or less satisfied
for the time. The grown up people
are very wise, ana they say it was
kind of God to make hell ana very low
ing of him TO send men there. and, be
sides. he couldn't help himself, and
they are very wise. we think, so we
believe them, more or less.

Now the pictures become continuous
and connected. Material things still
rule, but the spiritual and intellectual
take their places.
In the dark night when we are afraid
we pray and shut our eyes. We press
our fingers very hard upon the lids and
see dark spots moving round and
round, and we know they are heads
and wings of angels sent II take care
of us, seen dimly in the dark as they
move round our bed. 1t is very consol-
ing.
In the day we learn our letters and
are troubled because we cannot see
why know should be know and
psalm psalm They tell us it is SO
because it is SO. We are not satisfied.
We hate to learn. We like better to
build little stone houses. We can build
them as we please and know the rea-
son for them.
Other joys, too, we have incompara-
bly, greater than even the building of
stone houses.
We are run through with a shudder
of delight when in the red sand we
come on one of those white wax flow
ers that lie between their two green
leaves fat on the sand. We hardly
dare pick them, but we feel compelled
to do so; and we smell and smell till
the delight becomes almost pain. Aft
erward we pull the green leaves softly
into pieces to see the silk threads run
across.
Beyond the "kopje" grow some pale
green hairy leaved bushes. We are so
small they meet over our head, and
we sit among them and kiss them, and
they love us back. 1t seems as though
they were alive.
Ore day we sit there and look up at
the blue sky and down at our fat lit
tie knees, and suddenly 1t strikes us:
Who are we? This what is it? We
try to look in upon ourself, and ourself
beats back upon oursclf. Then we
get up In great fear and run home as
hard as we can. We can't tell any one
what frightened us. We never quite
lose that feeling of self again.

The year of infancy, where from the
shadowy background of forgetfulness
start out pictures of startling clear
ness. disconnected, but brightly col
ored and indelibly printed in the mind.
Much that follows fades. but the colors
Of those baby pictures are permanent.
There rises, perhaps. warm sum-
mer's evening. We are seated on the
doorstep; we have yet the taste of the
bread and milk in our mouth, and the
red sunset is reflected in our basin.
Then there is dark night, where,
waking with fear that there is some
great being in the room, we run from
our own bed to another, creep close to
some large figure and are comforted.
Then there is remembrance of the
pride when, on some ones shoulder,
with our arms around their head, we
ride to see the little pigs, the new little
pigs with their curled tails and tiny
snouts. Where do they come from?
Remembrance of delight in the feel
and smell of the first orange we ever
see; of sorrow which makes us put up
our lip and cry hard when one morning
We III btAA " u " NdlNil Aut hth-
drops and they melt and wet our little
fingers; of almighty and despairing
sorrow when we are lost behind the
kraals and cannot see the house any
where.
And then one picture starts out more
Vividly than any.
There has been Il thunderstorm The
ground as far as the eye can reach is
covered with white hail The clouds
are gone and overhead deep blue
sky is showing. Far off n great rain
bow rests on the white earth. We,
standing in n window to look, feel the
cool, unspeakably sweet wind blowing
in on us, and n feeling of longing
comes over US. unutterable longing, we
cannot tell for what We are so small
our head only reaches as high as the
first three panes. We look at the white
rarth and the rainbow and the blue
sky; and, oh, we want it, we want, we
do not know what We cry as though
our heart was broken. When one lifts
our little body from the window, we
cannot tell what ails us. We run away
to play.
So looks the first year.
