BRILLIANT. METEOR.
With Noise and Bright Light Was
Visible in Newberry Last Thurs
day Night.

Something happened in this Vi
entity last might, but nobody knows
just what it was.
This morning a number Of people
have told Of hearing a peculiar rum
bling noise about midnight, and some
have claimed that it was accompanied
by a tremor of the earth.
One citizen tells this experience. he
was in bed, but was awake. A light
flashed across his window, but he did
not get up to investigate. A few min
utes later he heard a heavy rumbllng
noise, and about the same time a lat
tice door on the back piazza began
rafting as if some one were trying to
get in. The citizen got up then and
looked all about the house but could
not find anything wrong.
This morning a gentleman from
Belton was in the city. tie said he
was attending a holiness meeting at
that place last night. Just before
midnight he saw a brilliant meteor
flash across the southern skies, ac-
oampanied by a loud rumbllng noise
and pereeptible tremor Of the earth.
The gentleman said that the meteor,
after going some distance, burst into
fragments. He says that when the
thing happened the congregation lied
from the church, and that the preach
ers conducting the service led the
way.
This morning the Daily Mail had
several telephone messages from peo-
pie in different parts Of the county
who had seen the meteor and heard
the noise, and who wanted to know
something about it. All the persons
making inquiries gave about the same
account Of the occurrence.
It Was at Williamson, Too.
A gentlemon at Williamson tele-
phoned the Daily Mail this afternoon
that the meteor was seen there last
night, and that it was accompanied
by a rumbling noise. He said that
there was perceptible tremor OF the
earth, sufficient to cause doors and
windows to rattle.
Was Seen at Asheville.
Asheville, n. c., Sept. 3.-Blazing
with amazing splendor large meteor
formed a brilliant spectacle Of the
skies for late pedestrians on the
streets last night. The meteor passed
over the federal building and midway
in it's fight it became a glowing ball
of fire about twelve inches in diameter
to the naked eye. A shower OF falling
sparks followed its disappearance.
The above is from the Anderson
Daily Mail of last Friday. The Her.
aid and News has heard Of several
in Newberry who saw the meteor re-
ferred to, and in coming on the train
Friday morning, we met with some
ladies who were at Peaks on Thurs
day and who attended dance IN the
country on that evening, and they
said. on returning from the dance at
twelve o'clock that night. that they
saw this brilliant meteor flash across
the heavens and burst, and that 1t
frightened the horse they were drlV-
inc as we'll as themselves.
Those who saw it in Newberry say
it was a very brilliant sight. lmmedl-
ately after a number Of smaller stars

Omaha daily bee., 1909-12-26

Before the ice reaches the conveyor belt it must be reduced
several times to more convenient sizes. This is accomplished by
groups of men stationed at points along the channel close to the
point where the ice is delivered from the lake water to the endless
chain elevator. At the first station, usually about a hundred feet
from the place where the conveyor chain comes rafting up from
the water below, men with "spuds' crack the blocks into strips
measuring two OF the primary squares in width and four in length.
This work is done without aresting the motion Of the ice as it
swings into the last turn OF the channel. The men become remark
ably def with the tools and but a single motion sufhces to throw the
blocks around the bend in the channel and break on the smaller
cakes. The cakes Of ice are kept flowing into the ice houses in a
continuous stream. The loss Of motion would mean the loss Of
energy and in plants where during the season perhaps a hundred
thousand tons OF ice are handled every operation must be reduced
to its lowest and simplest terms. The labor represents practically
the whole cost OF the ice and so whatever economy there is to be
accomplished must be in the best possible utilization Of the labor
on the ice field.
With this second subdivision the cakes OF ice are foated along
into a more permanent channel which delivers them to the conveyor
The sides of this channel are lined with heavy panktng so that the
constant grind Of the passing cakes will not wear the edges away.
The ice for perhaps the entire summer supply OF a big storage
concern may all go through this narrow channel Of about ten feet
in width and the moving miles Of floating ice would soon tear away
the naked edges of the passage. The sides Of the channel are lined
with platforms and runways, with here and there a crossing wide
enough TO give secure footing for the pike men, or drivers, who
urge the floating cakes along,
The ice is close upon the conveyor when it is subjected TO a
final subdivision into cakes containing but two of the primary

Snow Helps Much

The snow which covered the first crop of ice this season, while
it meant more labor and expense, insured a finer quality OF ice than
has been cut from the lakes Of eastern Nebraska for many years.
The snow blanket ehectuany covered and laid the dust of the roads
and fields about the lakes, preventing contamination of the lakes
surface from that source, and again it covered the young ice as soon
as formed and prevented the accumulation Of stray particles Of
matter in the ice itself. When the protective covering OF snow is
swept aside it leaves the ice clean and clear.
The visitor to Cut-on lake finds a mirth-provoking reminder of
the gay days of summer on the water. At regular intervals about the
shores of the lake r. signs bearing a warning to each and every
person that he must not swim in the lake without a bathing suit.
With some hundred acres OF ice about. a landscape covered with
snow and the breezes driving a temperature OF 4 degrees below
zero into ones anatomy, the suggestion OF at least the protection Of
a bathing suit Gems almost unnecessary.
When once the ice field is marked on into squares the harvesters
are put to considerable pains to keep the lake from undoing their
work. When the blocks n cut out Of the field the exposed edge
of the ice is in danger of being overlooked by the water, which in
freezing fills again the cuts OF the checker board made by the
markers. To prevent this a gang OF workmen is kept busy making
little dams Of snow in the ends OF the tiny cracks cut by the markers
next to the waters edge.
The finest OF the natural ice produced is that taken from the
second cutting, when the weather continues cold enough to freeze
over again the area stripped Of the first crop. The second crop
of ice has a wonderful purity. The big translucent slabs of blue
are bright and clean.

What Omaha Uses

The consumption of ice in Omaha is high. The dealers estimate
that about nearly half a million tons are annually required by the
city and its Industries. The packing houses require thousands Of
tons OF ice n the refrigeration Of the trains which carry their
products out to the world. Then a great city is to be supplied at
home. The natural ice is much cheaper than the artificial product.
The big ammonia gas freezers produce ice at an average cost Of
between SITS and 81 a ton. according to the statements OF the
manufacturers. The natural ice can be slowed away for the summer
at less than half OF that when weather conditions are favorable.
The annual ice harvest gives employment to about 1000 men
in and about Omaha and frequently at a time when other work for
the laborer is hard to find. The big packing houses OF South Omaha
and the dealers OF the city, including the refrfgerating plants, all
take advantage OF the ice crop to store up the winters cold. The
ice houses about the lakes within an easy radius OF Omaha cover
many acres OF land. Most OF these big ice houses re served with
their own special system OF railway tracks. over which the thousands
or tons OF be must be handled in its distribution to the consumers.
Today finds the ice harvesters at work on Cut-On and Seymour
lakes IN large numbers, while another big force is cutting the crop
at Ashland for the use OF a big packing concern The ice cutting
began this year much earlier than is usual and the storage com
Danies VIII probably be able to all their houses. The large produc-
ton or natural ice they intimate may have a tendency TO keep prices
down in the summer. The natural ice crop Is always. however,
reinforced with several thousand tons daily os artificial ice.
