REV. JOHN H. DYE, D. D.

The following is what the
friends and neighbors of Dr.. Dye
of Searcy his home. have to say.
This is certainly d loving tribute
to this earnest minister Of the
gospel:
Dear DR.. Dye: Your assign
ment to the Prescott District ey-
identity means that it is a fine
field of usefulness and that there
is important work to be done
there: that you will do it those
of us who have known you long
est. do not question. Your old
friends and neighbors belonging
to different churches, aVocatlons
and professions, beg leave to as
sure you that the sincerely hope
that your new work will not re-
ouire your removal from Searcy,
and that if it does that it will on
" be of short duration. Your
long, active and successful ser
vice in various fields of ministe-
rial labor, and in the great inter-
ests of temperance, education
and good citizenship generally,
are remembered and appreciated
by US, and by multitudes over
the state.
We would be glad to introduce
YOU to the good citizens of South
west Arkansas, but you do not
need it, as there are few if any
within the state better or more
favorably known than yourself.
We wish to reassure you of our
continued confidence in and love
for you personally, and your ac-
complished family, and hope that
you will continue to reside here.

Crack Fourteen Miles Long.

The second largest crack in the
earth in the United States has been
discovered in remote part of the
Terlingua quicksilver district, about
ninety miles south of Marathon. Tex
as. according to DR.. William b. Phil
lips, formerly director of the State
mineral survey, who is now operating
Phillips says that this wonderful
crack is fourteen miles long, and is
at no place under 200 feet wide. II
is $500 feet deep. The walls are al
most vertical. SO far as known. no
exploration of the crack has ever
been made. The country where It is
found has an altitude of about 5000
feet. It is believed that an expiora-
ton Of the crack may reveal rich min.
erals. particularly quicksilver.
The search that has been made re.
Gently for quicksilver prospects in
that section has brought to light
other interesting geological wonders.
1t is stated by Dr. Phillips that fifty
extinct volcanoes have been found
there. A number of rich quicksilver
mines are being operated IN the dis.
trict, and preparations are being made
to develop many other promising pros,
poets. DIR. Phillips says that the
quicksilver output of the district this
year will be at least 5000 tasks

In ST. Petersburg.

There is something repulsive IN
the climate of ST. Petersburg in the
early spring and autumn says a
writer, when the thermometer often
falls 80 degrees in a few hours, when
the roads are ankle deep in snow-
broth, or mud. when the winds blow
raw and cold from every quarter of
the compass and the quickmoying
droskies shower the denominations of
the roads impartially upon noble and
peasant. It is no consolation TO the
visitor to know that the Neva is seal
ed by ice early in November or late
in October Long indeed before the
frost king has talked down 10 the
latitude OF St. Petersburg the lordly
river is completely blocked. Great
ice sheets from stormy Ladoga float
down the current; they crash against
the mighty buttresses OF the bridges
cling 10 the banks anil gradually nc
Cumulate until the whole length of the
river, which unites the greatest lake
in Europe with the gulf OF Finland, is
completely choked. The ice is rear.
ed higgledy-piggledy at every con
ceivable angle. 1t is a strange sight
this broad stretch of water. impas-
sable and icebognd while the temper
atnre Of the surrounding country is
often many degrees about freezing
