view of what has succeeded the an
nouncement that one LITTLE child has
been abandoned and needs home.

to fifteen applications for permission
to adopt the little girl whose mother
SO cruelty abandoned her on Monday
evening in this city. F. W. Schlaberg,
commissioner from the Grand Forks
district. has been looking up the mat
ter and has found a temporary home.
1t is expected that permanent place
for the little founding will be pro-
vided in this city in day or two and
ultimately application will be made
to the district court for permission to
legally adopt. There is little likeli-
hood that the babe will be sent to the
Children's Home society for care, be-
cause of the number here who are de-
sirOus of taking it.

The Ice of Greenland.

The largest mass of ice in the world
is probably the one which fills up near
~ the whole of the interior of Green
land, where it has accumulated since
before the dawn of history. 1t is be-
lieved to now form a block about 60O,-
600 square miles in area and averag-
ing mile and a half in thickness. Ac-
cording to these statistics, the lump of
Ice is larger in volume than the whole
body of water in the Mediterranean,
and there is enough of it to cover the
whole of the United Kingdom Of Great
Britain and Ireland with layer about
seven miles thick. If it were cut into
two convenient slabs and built up
equally upon the entire surface of
gallant little Wales" it would form
pile more than 120 miles high. There
is ice enough in Greenland to bury the
entire area Of the United States a
quarter of mile deep.-LondonG Globe.
