lie ChicaoO Record

The Chicago Record;
SIOUX FALLS, S. D.-A farmer nam
ed Banker, who lives on the Nebraska
side Of the Missouri river, But who
crosses to South Dtkota to market his
grain ana 10 his trading, had mar
row escape from death as the result
Of an explosion not Of dynamite or
nitroglycerine, but Of ice in the Mis-
souri, river. Just how ice could eX-
plode is perhaps mystery to most
people-eyen TO many living on the
banks Of the Missouri-yet it is in
This curious fashion that the Big
Muddy occasionally calls attention
70 perhaps the least known Of its
freaks.
Banker was driving across the river
on the ice bridge When about in
the center. OF the main channel
he suddenly heard a rumbling I'M
derneath the ice and was not long in
deciding that something unusual was
about to happen. Lashing his horses
into a run he headed for the shore,
and had ust reached safety when the
explosion or elbow up occurred. It
is said by those who witnessed the in
cident chat large bodies Of heavy ice
in an area Of about square mile
were thrown fully forty or fifty feet
into the mir by the force Of the upheay-
al.
The phenomenon is said to have
been caused by a sudden and extreme
change in The weather to colder, the
ice forming SO quickly and SO solid
ly that no air holes were left, the pres
sure Of imprisoned air finally becom-
ing So great as to force its escape in
the manner stated by tossing hun
dred Of tons Of ice into the air as
though it were feathers.

THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
Facts from History as to How Long
Ii Was Known 10 the
Wise Men,

1t was a cloister fancy Of the darl,
ages that "the star Of Bethlehem" was
some especially created star-Iille bodv
probably within our atmosphere de-
signed wholly for tie leading of tbe
wise men, says the new Lippincott's.
The law of parsimony rejects such ex-
plication, and science, with silent
scorn, turns its back upon the bauble
star, for in the glorious depths Of
Heaven are matches orbs which.
swinging on their way into mortal
ken for awhile, meet all the demands
Of poet and Of prophet for tile "star Of
the King"
History affords ~ data for deter.
mining this wondrous star.
When the mag arrived in Jerusa-
salem Herod was within few weeks
Of his death The massacre Of the
babes of Bethlehem was one Of the
last of his tragic deeds. lIerod died
in the year Of Rome $50. When Her
cd inquired diligently what time the
star appeared the reply was evident
~ such that he thought it safe to ex-
terminate all baby sons Of Bethlehem
from two Years old and under, show
ing that the star" had been known
10 the wise men for at least two years
before their arrival at Jerusalem, and
whether its appearing had marked
the conception or the birth Of "the
king" lIerod could not decide. Re-
