The growing prosperity of the high
school is forcibly shown by the fact
that the class to enter after the holi-
days will number seventy-five stu
dents, the largest class at this mid
winter term ever known. The fact
that every graduate from the grade
schools will continue his studies in
the high school is strong index of
the growing appreciation of the high
school, both among the pupils and
their parents. The enrolment of the
high school will reach 300 this year.
a number larger than any previous
year and eighty more than when
Principal He'll came here two and a
half years ago. The seats in the as

and now every study room in the
building with the exception of one is
occupied. Within two years with this
rate of growth the building will be
too small, despite the prophecy when
it was built that it would do for %
years. The demand for high school

y number not on the regular pro-
gram of the seniors celebration at
Watertown hall Friday night has
caused some trouble, so far, for both
the jokers and the victims. There
were about forty people in the senior
class party which went to Watertown
that evening in hacks, to enjoy a
dance at the town hall. The hacks
were left unmatched in front of the
building. During the evening a party
of fifteen or twenty other students
boarded car on the NJ, +. NJ. & w.
railroad. and went to Waterfowl,
where one hack was attacked, the
wheels and tongue removed and hid
den and the cushions spirited away.
When the party again desired to use
the hack the condition was discover
ed. The boys walked to East Moline.
where they took a car, while the girls
rode home in the other hack, which
had, fortunately. escaped the atten-
tion of the vandaIs. The hacks be-
longed to Liveryman Donald and Sat
urday he sent one of his men up to re-
pair the injured rig and bring it home.
He also went after the perpetrators
of the foOlishness. One Of the boys
was located in the person of Clarence
Miller. states Mr.. Donald, and promis-
ed to pay a neat little sum for the
damage. He is not alone and it is
probable that n number of the junior
class of the high school will be made
to contribute their share towards the
payment for the fun.

BIRTH OF AN ICEBERG.
The Dramatic Experience Of Two
Antarctic Explorers.

The Dramatic Experience Of Two
Antarctic Explorers.
Mr.. G. e. Borchgrevink, commander
of the antarctic expedition Of 1898,
nearly lost his life by an accident Of a
nature SO peculiar that it is probable
no other man could duplicate the ex-
perience. At the foot of Mount Terror
in February, 1900, he landed from his
ship with Captain Jensen and three
other men. Then, wishing to take a
picture Of the shore, he sent his boat
back to the vessel to get camera, and
he and Captain Jensen were left alone
on the rough beach. Before the boat
returned a strange and awful thing
happened. Mr.. Borchgrevink told the
story in the Outlook:
A roar and a rush, with tremendous
explosions, shook the beach. The
thought came to us that the perpendic-
ular rocks above US were falling. Then
we realized what was taking. place.
The mighty glacier Immediately to the
west of us was giving birth to an ice
berg.
Millions of tons Of ice plunged into
the ocean. We could see nothing be-
yond an immense cloud Of rolling
snow. The water rose from the plunge
of this antarctic monarch. / sang out
to Jensen, "Now we shall have to face
the wave" .
We rushed to the highest point of our
limited beach, four feet above the sea.
We saw advancing on us dark green
ridge with white crest. l called to
Jensen to struggle for. dear life. We
clutched the uneven rocks, with our
backs toward the advancing water. AL
though it could not have taken more
than seven minutes the time seemed
long before the water closed over our
heads.
Floating upward, scrambling upon
the rocks, I tore the nails from my
flesh in my endeavor to keep from be-
ing dragged out. After the second
wave we again felt the rocks under
our feet.
At the place where Jensen and first
stood the rock was wet twenty feet
above our heads. 1t was somewhat
lower when it struck us. Where the
wave had struck with full force the
face Of the rock had been altered, and
rocks We're still falling when the three
men in the boat found us, bleeding and
torn.
Two facts had saved us. To our right
small peninsula of ice protruded
some five feet from the rock, and the
rock itself bent toward the west. From
the moment. it struck the curve of the
mountain rock to the west of us the
wave took a course more easterly than
where Jensen and stood.

An Incident That Nearly Cost Sir

An Incident That Nearly Cost Sir
Hugh Rose His Peerage.
Lord Strathnairn was the most indo-
lent, lackadaisical, languid person who
ever dawdled along Piccadilly. When
he was devastating central India and
winning the splendid victories that i'm
mortalized his name, he was so lazy
that he could not be got to dictate the
dispatches recording his own triumphs.
Months elapsed before these documents
could be extracted from him, and then
they were brief and meager to the last
degree One day when Sir Hugh Rose
he was entertaining gallant company
at dinner during the crisis Of the mu-
tiny.
With the utmost sang froid he vas
delighting those near him with one Of
his best anecdotes. In the middle Of it
his orderly entered and after saluting
exclaimed, 1--WE have captured 200 reb-
els, sir" To Him the general turned
and, with that elegant courtesy Of
manner on which he prided himself,
serenely replied, THANK you, ser.
geant." But the man still remained.
Again interrupting his chief, he said.
"But what are we to do with them,
STRIP f .,
"Oh," replied Sir Hugh, with a soft
smile, "hang them, of course" And he
resumed his anecdote. 49,.
In little while Sir Hugh was again
interrupted in the middle of another
story by the sergeant, who came In and
said, please, sir, we've hung the lot,
SIR" The general turned, bowed slight.
~ and In the sweetest manner lisped,
Thanks, sergeant-very many thanks"
and then went on with his anecdote as
II nothing had happened. III.
This story came to the ears Of Queen
Victoria, and she was SO angry that it
nearly cost Sir Hugh his peerage.

A Gigantic Goddess of War.

In the Japanese capital there is a 81
gantic image Of woman made of
wood, iron and plaster. The time of it's
erection and the name Of it's designer
are in dispute, but it is known to have
been dedicated to Hachiman, the god
of war. In height it measures fifty
four feet, the head alone, which is
reached by winding stairway ia the
interior of the figure, being capable of
holding company Of twenty persons.
The goddess holds sword in her right
hand and huge painted wooden ball
in the left. Internally the statue is the
finest anatomical model in existence,
every bone, joint and ligament being
represented on gigantic scale in pro-
portion to the height and general size
Of the huge figure itself. The large
eyes are magnifying glasses, through
which a fine view of the surrounding
country may be had.
