GREAT TEMPLES OF ICE.

Have Endured For Ages. Discoveries
of a Recent Expedition.
Changeless Arctic temples of ice
amid the icy deserts of Greenland
were found by the survivors of the
Inflated Erickson expedition to the
north pole. A crystal palace of SUI
perhuman architecture vaster than
dozen cathedrals and Egyptian tenn
pies, respondent with jewels and
endless decorations of ice, is de-
scribed.
Created by nature in a forbidding
wilderness it frightened and awed the
explorers. The dreams of poets and
the fancies of epic bards were sur
passed by this vision of colossal love-
illness, which the painter Achton
Fries, member of the expedition.
endeavored to carry away for the
benefit of the jewellers in civilization.
More than a mile in length the
lofty nave of this temple was pierced
at intervals with windows through
which the cleaning sun rays sparkled
on columns and cubes and immense
clusters of stalactites like pendant
jewels. Through the center of the
ice palace flowed stream of water
whose occasional ripple and splash
ing fall broke the majestic silence.
Far north it is possible that ice
palaces and temples should endure
without change longer than human
structures of stone. The carcasses
of prehistoric monsters have re-
manned inviolate in Arctic tombs for
thousands of years, while granite
pyramids have worn away and Baby
lonian civilization has been buried
deep in the Chicago Tribune.

Those Who Go Back to Nature.
Every year of late great numbers

Irult raising while others are taking
up stock raising as the surest means
Oh becoming agriculturally independ-

ripDoned breeds and triumphs in the
snow ring OF the state and county
fairs. They are content to be indie
pendent OF a surly boss, to be hand

way and realizing a living from their
own .unaided efforts.
These are of the class of salaried
workers who, as long as they re-

call their souls their own. They
we're the especial prey of the INSTALL

10 many of them it is an entirely
new experience, and to others it is
full of the rose-colored memories of
boyhood. But it is a blessed dispen-
sation of Providence that causes us
to forget the bone-racking WEAKNESS
of youthful limbs, the snowy wood
pile and the blazing sun of the har-
vest field, and recall so distinctly the
way the sunshine felt in the first
spring days, the joys of the Christ
mas tree or the rabbit hunt or the
GOODNESS of the brown water in the
old swimming hole and how you
sneaked down across the fields to
it's shadows on quiet Sunday morn

forced into country life by a train
of disagreeable circumstances would
enjoy the first hour in the spring that
he held the handles of the pillow.

April, the pale blue sky overhead,
the cattle cropping the watery grass
of the early year along the neigh
boring fence and the soil turning

Scarcity of Grass Causes Them to
Eat Foliage Containing Tannic
Acid. Linseed Oil Only Cure.
LAS VEGAS, N. Stockmen
grazing their cattle on the national
forests in the southwest, especially
in Colorado and New Mexico, have
suffered serious losses during the
present summer through the cattle
eating oak leaves.
In that section of the country the
season has been unusually dry and
grass extremely scarce. To exc out
the scanty forage supply the cattle
have browsed heavily on the scrub
oak which covers large portions of
the range. Ordinarily stock does
not browse much on the oak, and
the little they do get, taken with the
other food, is not injurious, but
when, as in the present season, the
oak browse furnishes a large pro-
portion of the daily food of the cat
tie the results are serious.
Tannic Acid Poisonous.
The oak leaves and sprouts con-
tain a large percentage of fannie
acid. The action of this acid on the
stomach is extremely injurious, and
the losses have been unusually Sc
we're. The symptoms of the disease
are staring eyes, feverish and blist-
cred lips and nose, the animal ceases
to Craze or seek for food, standing
in one place for hours at a time.
The coat becomes rough and the
hair is all turned the wrong way. as
in the cases OF loco poisoning. The
animal does not chew it's cud, and in
a comparatively short time it be-
comes too weak to remain on its
feet and death rapidly follows.
So far as is known the only avail
able remedy for this trouble is lin
seed oil given as drench in amounts
from one to two quarts. The oil
appears to overcome the injurious
effects of the fannie acid, and if the
disease is not advanced too far and
the animal can be furnished suffi-
cient food so it will not be forced
to eat the oak it will generally re-
cover. The best method, of course,
in handling the trouble, is, if pos
sible, to get the cattle away from
the range where the oak is found
and furnish them with plenty of
fresh green feed to build up again.
