THE BIG FACE IN THE ICE.
Gigantic Visage That Startled Sail

to reports brought in by the Norwegian
steamer Drottling Sophia. On the blotter
at the Maritime Exchange the vessels re-
port-"Four icebergs passed six miles
north-northwest from Cape st. Francis
seemed little out of the ordinary, but an
interview with the captain brought to
light a most curious freak of. nature.
The ship, with her cargo of iron ore for
this port, passed the four bergs when two
days out from Wabana, N. F. But little
attention was paid to them until the ship
was just abreast of the largest one. A cry
from one of the crew on watch attracted
all hands. Captain Nordhal at first
thought what he saw was an optical IL
fusion, but leveled his glasses and then
ordered the course of the ship changed.
The Drottling. Sophia sailed around the
end of the berg, and all members of the
crew saw at close range the gigantic head
of a man in profile, as clearly defined in
the ice as though chiseled by sculptor.
The forehead was at the very top. depres-
sions gave the appearance of eyes, the
nose was clear cut, and the bottom of the
berg, scanned by tiny rivulets of melting
ice had every resemblance to a long,
flowing beard tapering off into the water.
The iceberg was over 200 feet high and
was evidently aground in about ninety
fathoms of water. The face and head,
said Captain Nordhal, bore great resemb-
lance of the familiar Santa Claus.

TempIe Of Abu SimbaI.

Our course along the Upper Nile led
through Nubia giving the sight of many
ruins-the temple OF Abu-Simbal proving the
most noted object. In fact. there were two
the Inscriptions in Greek dating from 502 B.
c., telling that when Psammeticus came TO
Elephantine, the writers-giving their names
also went to that place by way of kerkis.
But far more grand and imposing the
one that met us at Abu-Simbal being cut
from the solid rock, or, rather, built into It's
steer face The facade itself is formed by
cutting away a square space 100 feet. having
a cornice OF seated synocephali-truly, a mag
niflcent setting for so imposing a structure.
The entrance is fianked by four collossi Of

their size by saying that one big toe-nail OF
Rameses afforded comfortable seat. The

many photographs so accessible the benignant
and Hfelike expressions can be readily re-
called. says a writer in the Catholic World
Equally so are the faces looking forth
from the eight Osiride columns in the en-
trance hall, on which are sculptured the
memorable deeds of the great Rameses. In
rooms leading from this grade vestibule are
always seen mural sculptures similar to the
preceding. A smaller pillared hall opens into
another, bringing to view what seemed a
Sanctuary. Here were seated statues of Amen,
Ptah Borus, with Rameses the Great, or
Sesostris. Various lateral chambers and halls
are ever and anon seen, all with their his
torfc sculptures telling in mute language OF
the long-buried past, rousing wonder and ad-
miration as we trace the footsteps Of that
ancient people, walking the earth centuries
ago.

$4,5OO.OOO for a
Neov West Point

When congress reassembled after the
Christmas holidays a great national uni
versity at West Point will be officially
brought to its attention. Elaborate plans
for the rebuilding and extension of the
Military Academy have already been pre-
pared and will be soon submitted to the
military authorities In Washington for
their approval and transmission to con-
gress.
They call for a new academic building,
mammoth memorial viaduct connecting
the new academy with the present admin
istration building. new and extensive
administration building, a larger and
more modern cadet barracks, and some
thirty-four other buildings.
In addition to these new buildings the
plans propose the utilization of immense
tracts Of government territory in and
around the present military reservation,
which have never been before used, some
of the proposed territory being conspicu-
ously identified with Revolutionary his
tory.
The preliminary estimates call for an
expenditure Of about $4,5OO,OOO. exclusive
of plant for heating and lighting. This is
not very large amount when 1t is con-
sidered that for the rebuilding OF the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, congress
appropriated something like 100000 and
before the work is completed more money
will be needed.
President Roosevelt, in his message to
congress, called attention to the needs Of
West Point, and he is in thorough sym
pathy with the proposed enlargement.
Secretary of War Root also gives 1t his
cordial Endorsement, and believes con-
gress will appropriate the necessary
money.
The report OF the last Board OF Visitors
to the Military Academy emphatically
condemned the present buildings at the
institution and urged a more liberal poll
cy on the part of congress in behalf Of
West Point. 1t is believed that that re-
port will also carry great weight in in
ducing congress to grant the necessary
appropriations.
The most important feature of the West
Point reconstruction is the new Academic
building. 1t will be built Of stone.
three-story structure. go feet long and 70
feet wide. 1t will be built on the hill
overlooking the Hudson where the pres
ent Headquarters building stands, and it
will be connected with the present Acad-
emic building by picturesque monumen-
tai viaduct. which will be a sort Of me-
mortal gateway to the new and great
academy.
The next great improvement will be the
extension OF the cadet barracks. This
new barracks will be an extension of the
present cadet quarters and will directly
face the large parade ground now occu-
pied by officers quarters. This barrackG
will be $40 feet long, equal TO tie present
front of the old barracks. 1t will be three
stories In height.
Directly opposite the present cadet mess
the new administration building will be
erected. 1t will be built Of stone, three
stories in height, the dimensions being
40 by 6 feet.

the boy, while no doubt perfectly hon. est, was simply victim of self-de- ception. During his illness he had probably found the arm more comfort able when bent, and gradually his mind had become dominated by the fixed idea that it was impossible for him to extend it. In such cases it is useless to argue with the patient, but frequently some lucky accident will dissipate the illusion.
 One day last fall dropped in to see the boy, and while was in the house and old negro auntie remarked in his hearing that somebody done put a charm on dat arm, and that she knew how to take it off.' How would you do it?' I replied. I'd use red charm stone I have at home she said; I'd rub it on his shoulder and dat arm straighten out shore!' could see the boy was deeply impressed. and I gave the old woman a quarter and told her to be around with the charm stone next afternoon. was on hand myself before the appointed hour, and told the child, with great show of telling him in confidence, that I rather ex. pected the charm was going to cure

saae Says Railway Stocks Too High.

N r Letter in Chicago Tribune.
 Russell Sage was quoted by Wall street news agency today as having given out the following interview: There are two strong reasons for the boom in Union Pacific common. One is the basic fact that it is great natural road. It has good feeders and earning capacity that cannot be materially reduced by combi- nations of opposing lines. The second is that 1t Is widely believed that the Union Pacific is to form an important link in the Atlantic-Pacifc line of the Wander bilts- This line, if formed. would be com posed, as to it's main links, of the New York Central the Lake Shore, the Chi cago and Northwestern. and the Union Pacific. Besides those points in its favor. the Union Pacific has splendid prospects of increasing It's business.
 "But the prices of most railroad stocks, as well as nearly all other stocks, are entirely too high. There will come of necessity big crash unless the people come to their senses and get out in time.
 There are many stocks that never paid nor earned dividend selling above par. in some cases away above par, to- day"
 When MT. Sage was asked this after
