THE ARCTIC TEMPLE OF ICE
Crystal Palace Found by III Fsted
Erlchsen Expedition.

Amid the bleak icy deserts OF
Greenland the survivors of the recent
Ill fated Erichsen expedition discov.
cred sight of majesty that solaced
them for months OF darkness, tedium
and suffering. They found a crystal
palace of superhuman architecture.
vaster than dozen cathedrals and
Egyptian temples, resplendent with
jewels and endless decorations of ice.
Created by nature in forbidding
wilderness, It frightened the eyes of
the explorers and awed them with un.
imagined magnifcence. The dreams
of pets and the fancies of epic bards
were surpassed by this vision of co.
iossal loveliness, which the painter.
Achton Frils, member of the expedi.
ton, endeavored to carry away for
the benefit of dwellers in civilization.
More than a mile in length. the lofty
nave of this Arctic temple of ice was
pierced at intervals with windows
through which the glancing sun rays
sparkled on columns and cubes and
immense clusters of stalactites like
pendent jewels. An iridescent glow,
as IL from opals and diamonds. suf-
fused the lighter spaces and shaded
into the blush twilight which reigned
in solemn transepts The painter de-
SPARED of comprehending even the
elusive colors that emanated from
every surface and were infinitely
toned by combination and reflection.
Through the centre of the ice palace
flowed stream of water, whose oc.
casional ripple and splashing fall broke
the majestic silence. The human voice
reverberated weirdly against the mas.
sive walls and the arched roof. A tone
of mystery or OF giant power was re.
peated by invisible spirits of the
North. There were echoes like
chimes Of bells. matching the fairy
decorations of the nave. A huge dis
sonance caused by the cracking of a
distant foe rumbled through the cav.
ern as If 1t were the beginning of a
prelude on an organ appropriate for
an Arctic temple. What strains OF
might and Of brooding softness would
be required in such music!
In habited latitudes the architec-
ture OF frozen water is regarded as a
pleasing fantasy. something which
lasts few short months and disap-
pears. Far North 1t Is possible that
Ice palaces and temples should endure
without change longer than human
structureo Of stone. The carcasses
OF prehistoric monsters have remained
inviolate in Arctic tombs for thou.
sands of years. while granite pyra.
mids have worn away and Babylonian
civilizations have been hurled deep in
the earth. Some day the world may
decide to store its most valuable rec
ords for posterity at the poles.

Worked Hard, Too.

A persistent lawyer who had been
trying to establish a witnesses sus-

"Off and on for seven years, or since

Altar Of Roses In eulo.r,..

The two plants specially cultivated
In Bulgaria for Industrial purposes
are both highly scented. though in diff
ferent ways-they are tobacco and
roses.
The great rose plantations are at
Kazanlik, Karlova and Klissoura, and
the chief kinds grown are the damask
and various species of white roses.
The rose growing district comprises
173 villages and 1880 acres of rose
plantations. and 1t takes 250 pounds
OF roses to make one ounce Of pure at
tar Of roses.
The ground of rose plantation is
prepared very much as for vine grow
ing, that Is to say, rows of bitches
are made about foot and half wide,
and yard and a half apart; the
bushes are struck in vertically and
well covered with earth and fertilizer.
In year the bushes are foot high,
and at the end of the third year the
first rose crop can be gathered. The
life of rose bush varies from twen-
ty to twenty-five years and then the
old roots are dug out and the garden
Is freshly planted.
The rose crop is gathered at the end
OF May, the harvest is described by eye
witnesses as being most picturesque
sight. The peasant girls and boys
gather the roses at sunrise while the
dew is heavy on their leaves. and as
they gather the fragrant blossoms
they sing the quaint Bulgarian folk
songs.
The roses are taken to the distn-
lery and distille. during the day. and
when the precious altar has been col
lected and bottled it is sent to Lon
don Paris and New York.

MOTOR CAR ADVENTURES
Automobilists Are Not lnfreque ntly
Attacked by Animals.

Fortunately for motorists, IL Is not
take flying leap into their car, as
was the startling experience of lady
and two gentlemen at Lymington. En-.
gland, recently; but even more alarm.
ing adventures occasionally fall to
their lot.
Senyer-Bettaque, a well-known singer,
was motoring through a forest when
a wild boar challenged her further
progress. Like the foolish red Indians
who used to urge their mustangs
against the giant iron horse of the
prairies, this foolish boar vainly
imagined that he could annihilate the
daring invader of his forest kingdom.
The result to himself was disastrous,
for he was speedily resolved into ham
and bacon trifles, what time the car
was sent careering up against tele.
graph pole which was demolished and
injured the lady in its fall. The voca.
list felt that she had a grievance
against the owners of the forest: the
latter wanted damages against her for
the destruction of their boar and tele.
graph pole, and their resi- octive claims
are to be adjudicated on by court
of law.
similar fate recently befell stag
in forest near Glengariff The Gaek.
war and Maharanee of Kapurthala
were motoring after nightfall through
the forest, when they found them
selves face to face with an angry stag
which, with lowered horns. barred the
way. AS the car refused to stop
much less retreat, the stag charged
full tilt at it, and paid the price of
his misguided valor by dropping dead
with a broken neck.
More alarming still was the adven.
ture of two ladies travelling in a motor
car near Roumaie, on the outskirts OF
Paris. A stag that was hard pressed
by the hounds jumped into the car
for refuge, the dogs clamoring and
leaping around it. But alas; his shift
was short; for the car was stopped,
the ladies made hurried escape and
the hounds soon disposed of the stag.
A fA weeks ago the occupants of a
car travelling at high speed along
deserted stretch Of road be.
tween Birmingham and London late |
at night saw large hare racing as
II for life in front Of them. Faster
the car went in pursuit. and faster the |
frightened animal sped until. after the
run had continued for a few miles, It
collapsed and dropped. When the mo-
torists stopped they found the hare
lying dead in the roadway. with no ap-
parent mark or injury.
