How it Accumuiates Power that
Sweeps Everything Before 1t.


Have you ever seen an ice gorge. Not
merely little jam of ice in some small
stream, but genuine gorge, that
damned up mighty river and sent the
water abroad over thousands of acres
of countryg
No. Well, then. you have missed one
of the most awe-inspiring sights in all
nature. 1t is not possible to describe an
lee jam that those who have never
seen one viii know just exactly what it
means. Almost everyone has seen great
cakes Of ice 80 floating down stream as
placidly as pleasure boats La SOME
places II Is considered rare sport to get
toothold on a big cake of ice and float
till the CLASSY platform approaches near
enough to land to make long leap and
end the ride After a particularly hard
winter like the present one these ice
cakes are from twenty inches te two
feet in thickness. and sometimes they
are as large as the floor of gooo-5ized
hall.
Occasionally they will float for days
without lodging or breaking up. In such
cases they become porous and rotten.
aud when they lodge they grind up rap
idly and do little harm. But when the
upper waters of river rise rapidly and
the ice breaks up toward the source be-
fore it goes miles down toward the
mouth of the river then there is danger
down till they strike the firm ice that
has not ye5 given way, and Immediately
they lose their placid character and turn
into fearful elements of destruction.
They are swept under by the resistless
water and turn and plunge. and snap
and grind against each other with a roar
that is distressing and constant rattle
like the discharge of muSketry. There is
no let-up in. the quantity of material of

Seepage burst through in nlany places
like the outflow from scores of mammoth
hose. Foot by foot the dam rises. and if
the locality is favorable one the wall
may he built up fifty or sixty feet high.
This may only happen where the shores
are abrupt and high. for in localities
where there Is level land along the shores
the water soon reaches a point where
the wall of ice turns the river from it's
course and sends it away across the
country to cause damage TO farms and
towns.-I'tica Observer,

A NEW LACE MACHINE.
Austrian Discovery which Promises
10 Revoiutionize the Industry.

TO RevoiutiDnixe the Industry.
1t is announced from Nottingham that
the famous lace machine invented by
Herr August Afatitsch, Yiennese, and
which Il likely 10 Tevolutionize the lace
trade, has Just been completely finished
there. The machine is reported to make
genuine lace of such a quality as to be
absolutely indistinguishable from hand
made lace. A description given in the
Neue Freie Presse characterizes the in
yentlon as epoch-making in the lace in
dustry.
The new machine is based on the prin-
cipies of the English twist lace machine,
but is provided with mechanism which
makes it possible to move each carriage
and each needle Independent. Herr
Matitsehs machine employs the thread
reels just as workwoman does and the
Robbins it manages to thread just like
the hand worker The machine Is com
plete substitute for the pillow and other
appliances for hand lace making. The
needles in the machine hold finished
meshes OF any desired length, and the
machine itself winds the finished lace on
the beam at any desired moment
The differences between the new ma
chine and the English lace making ma
chimes hitherto used are the following:
In the old machines all the slidebars
moved at the same time in one line, so
that at the same moment they passed
from one reed to the other. In the new
machine any desired number of slidebars
can ba held still in one comb and Mt the
same time a number of other slidebafs
can be removed from one reed to the
next. The new machine permits the
slidebars to be moved sideways TO the
left or right, which enables tho operator
to carry the thread from one edge 80
the other while in previous machines the
threads must always proceed along the
same vertical line. This makes the new
maChinemade lace far more durable. IT,
breaking Of q single thread has hitherto
caused the separation Of the meshes, and
thus Produced large holes. In the new
machine-made lace, as in hand made
lace, such brcakage does not cause any
such apparent destruction,
IN the old machine all the pins arc IN
one row, and must always be pulled out
at the right moment. In the new ma
chine the pins can remain in the web
any length Of time. The Keeling of OF
laes has hitherto gone on continuously,
which has rendered the manufacture of
certain kinds of lace impossible. In the
new machine II can be done mt auy de-
sired time lust as the pattern requires.
Herr Matitsch's machine turns out
goods sixteen feet and two-thirds broad.
and thus makes several strips at the
same time aud can use several slldebars
in one strip at one time, whereas the
hand worker Is confined to one bobbln.
The machine, it is expected, will cause
dislocation in the production of lace.
but will lead to a great development of
this industry and the cheapening of the
article. Herr Matitsch worked under
great difficulties aud showed great perse-
yerance in solving the problem. The
machine was nearly ready some time
ago when suddenly the inventor hit upon
some new and important improvements
which took three more years TO carry
out. London Chronicle.

Move, Work for Women.

When woman entered the field of bust
ness, she entered not only the ordinary
callings but extraordinary ones. She has

market but benefited materially her fell
low men and women.
One of the latest enterprises to enlist
her interest has called down upon her
head the blessings of the busy house
keeper. This new occupation is the
thorough investigation of the references
of servant girls. 1t has been undertaken
by a clever business woman of New
York, who has added it to her work of
professional shopper picture hanger and
general caretaker of homes. This wom-
an shops for her patrons, opens and
closes their city and country homes, ar
ranges pictures and bric-a- brac, and does
many other little things that an artistic
temperament enables her to do better
than others. 1t does not require an ar
tistic temperament to look up a maid

overhear one of her patrons lamenting
one day that she had not time to attend
to such work. this enterprising business
woman added it at once to her list.
In no case will she accent written ref

The housewife of many duties is only
too glad to be relieved of this extra bur
den. And if the modern maid knew that
her conduct was to be subject to such
rigid scrutiny, she might be more care

shipping to Eastern markets, as well as
the filling of daily orders for the local
markets in time of bloom, make her life

Chicago and New York markets demand

due largely to her dainty and artistic

suggests a great field of artistic possibii-

The Training of Children.

We have been panied to notice the
change in the disposition of our young
matrons to eyade the responsibility and
care of their children, especially in those
who can afford to employ servants, too
often intrusting them to most unrelia-
bic, ignorant persons, who have neither
the Intelligent nor the disposition TO do
any more than they can help and retain
their places, and who, when left alone
with their helpless charges, totally neg
lect them, or, in far too many cases,
drug them so that they will not inter-

mother should give her whole time to her
children or be without assistance in their

ton of every twenty-four hours should
be spent in their companiOnship. She
should not allow any other person to

socially ambitious people cannot help ex-
claiming when they find that not only
must they use every effort to enter So
ciety, but, once admitted, must be equal

pie who by much painstaking effort have
acquired what they hoped to be a per-

accountably dropper by the very people
who have taken them up. Keep up the

Fashion. "Dancez toujours If you

up year after year, until the puppets are
worn out and new ones take their places.

the people who entertain are another
cause of enforced effort. One year the
