GREAT CANADIAN GLACIER.
Formation of Ice Archway an Annual
Phenomenon,

Formation of Ice Archway an Annual
Phenomenon.
Eight thousand and four feet of ice
Since the first discovery of this larg-
est of Canada's glaciers it has main
tanned a grand archway of ice at it's
lower extremity. The span of this
arch is no less than $50 feet, and it's
height is estimated at 70 feet, while
from beneath the arch the drainage
escapes.
The formation of the arch seems to
be an annual phenomenon. Toward
the close of the summer it becomes
weakened by melting, and the whole
structure collapses. The ice gradual
Iy is broken up and finally removed,
and the formation of a new archway
is commenced.
From the archway issues the Yoho
river. 1t is calculated that an ava
lanche must have occurred in 1850 or
1860. Since then the retreat of the
glacier has been at the average rate
of five or six feet year. From Au-
gust, 1901, to August, 1904, it was
found that the retreat had been Ill
feet, or 81 feet a year. Between Au-
gust, 1894, and August, 1905, the gla-
cier receded but nine feet, and is now
thought to be checked.
About the nose of the glacier there
is evidence of a bodily disruption of
10 IN nj
"plucking" is applied. Rock layers
are ripped off where the layers are
thin bedded and pointed, and the frag-
ments are pressed into the ice to as
sist in further work.
The Yoho glacier is an almost if not
entirely isolated example of a glacier
as a great engine of erosion. Other
glaciers move forward and are engines
of transportation.

title Helms for AWr1inq Makers.

"Our greatest benefactor," said a
local manufacturer of awnings, sis the
office man who sits and smokes and
throws his cigar stubs out the win
dow. If it's at the time of year
when awnings are up on the big Of
fee buildings it is not improbable
that the cigar will fall on an awning
and burn a good-sized hole.
POSSIBLY it will fall against a roll
of the canvas and burn through sew
eral folds. Look at some of the avn
ings over the stores on the ground
floor of buildings and notice the little
round holes that have been caused
by the falling cigar stubs. These
holes, of course, greatly hasten the
time when the awning must be re-
placed. Nearly every office building
in town has suffered this same dam
age"

A Puttinq Tip From st. Andrews.

A man on his first visit to st. An
drews was much impressed by the
high standard Of efficiency which he
saw displayed on the green's by those
with whom he played. He studied
the actions of these heroes to see il
he could discover any common feature
in their methods. At last he saw
light. He observed that they all hold
the left hand more under the club
when putting than they did when
driving.
From this he deduced a rule OF
conduct-"see the finger nails of the
left hand when addressed to the ball.
For the rest of his stay, and it may
be for some time afterward, his own
putting improved considerably.

Siberian Bread That Inebriates.

Since you don't live in Siberia you
need not be afraid, says M. Marion,
a Russian, to get drunk through eat
ing ordinary bread In far Eastern
Siberia, in that region which lies be-
tween the sea and the river called
Msurri, the humidity Of the climate
as we'll as the soil is remarkable.
In certain districts the humidity is
so intense that there grows upon ears
of corn kind of fungus matter made
up of micro-fungi. AS result Of this
sporadic excrescence the bread made
from the corn in question gives all
the results of an overdose of alcohol.
In very humid climates the phenome-
non is likewise known, though to
nothing like the extent of Eastern ST
IBERIA, where whole districts are af-
fected by this strange kind Of "alco-
holized bread"

Many daily habits, particularly OF

which frequently refused to retain
food.
'The taste Of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as found
out later, the cause Of the stomach re
belling against food.
Il now see that it was only from fol.
lowing the example of my elders that
l formed and continued the miserable
habit of drinking coffee. My digestion
remained poor, nerves unstrung, fire.

Another trouble was a bad, muddy
complexion for which [ spent time and

try Postum, and would you believe it.
I, an old coffee topper, took to Postum
from the very first. We made it right
according to directions on the pkg

results.

gARONETS WHO HAVE TO WORK
Two Are Cabmen, One an lnnkeeper
and Another a Tobacconist.


So far as baronetcies are concern
ed, being lower in grade than peer
age, there are a number of men who
have successfully made good their
claims, but still have to work FOR
their living. For instance, says Town
and Country, Sir Thomas Tyrreli OF
Burton on Trent, who traces his de-
scent from the Sir Walter Tyrrell
whose arrow killed William Rufus IN
the New Forest, is a cabman.
There is also a cabman at Hobart
in Tasmania who rejoices in the name
of Sir George Augustus Jerv1s Mere
dyth, eleventh baronet. Burke's Peer
age recognizes him and that IS hall
the battle, but there is no property.
Sir Harry Yelverton Goring may be
found any day in the week serving
half-penny packets of workmen's TO-
bacco over little counter at Tam
worth, in the Pottery district, and
Sir Henry Echlin is the landlord OF
the Rose and Grown inn at Wooburn
Green, in Buckinghamshire.
Before Sir Henry took to serving
beer he was a footman, although he
has descended from an ancient lrlsh
family whose estates have been dlssl-
mated as so many Irish estates have
been before now, leaving him nothing
but the barren title, which occasion
ally attracts TO the Rose and Crown
idle curiosity seekers who wish TO see
q real baronet serving bitter beer to
laborers. The superintendent of the
Whitby Union poorhouse is Sir John
Lawson, whose ancestors were made
baronets some hundreds of years ago.

The star appeared at the stern instead

Mann FEARS TARIFF
WAR WITH CANADA
CONGRESSMAN WILL SEEK CON-
GRESSIoNAL ACTION FOR RE-
cLPRocAL MEASURES.
UNLESS SOMETHING Is DONE
NORTHERN NEIGHRoRs LIKE
LY 70 RETALIATE.

Washington, Nov. 28.-Congressman
Mann, who was chairman of the spe-
cial committee on wood pulp and
print papers of the last congress, and
who prepared the tariff provisions on
these items, as first reported to the
house, but whose recommendations
were overruled on the final passage
of the tariff law, believes the country
may well be alarmed at the danger
of tariff war with Canada growing
out of the tariff on wood pulp and
print paper under the Payne act.
Mr.. Mann, at the beginning of the
forthcoming session of congress, will
introduce several bills and resolu-
tions relating to this subject. One Of
his measures will be a joint resolu-
ton to postpone the application of the
maximum tariff from April first, next,
to the following January. Another
provides that the maximum tariff be
held not to apply to wood pulp and
printing paper imported from Canada.
Mr. Mann will introduce a bill pro-
viding for the free admission of wood
pulp printing paper from Canada, be-
ing Canada product, on the condi-
ton that Canada, or the province
wherein the wood pulp Or paper is
manufactured, shall not forbid, re-
strict or impose any export duty or
license upon printing paper, mechan-
ically ground good pulp or wood used
for wood pulp. Mr.. Mann may fight
to have his measures referred to the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, whereof he is chairman, in
stead of the ways and means commit.
tees.
Mr.. Mann says that under the rules,
If the ways and means committee de-
ciines to report upon the propositions,
he can move to refer them to his com
mittee. In the last congress. when
the ways and means committee was
endeavoring to smother Mr.. Mann's
bill preventing the importation and
smoking of opium, he sent notice to
every representative that he would
move the bill from the WAYS and
means committee and refer 1T to a
friendly committee. The result of
dispute Of the house between MT.
Mann and Chairman Payne, of the
committee, Mr.. Payne was compelled
TO report the opium bill favorably and
it was enacted.
MT. Mann says that unless some
legislation, such as proposed, is adopt
ed, or reciprocal treaty with Canada
agreed to, Canada, smarting under
the Injustice Of the Payne law, Is like
iy to forbid the expectation of pulp
wood from Canada to the United
States, and thereby close a number of

crease the cost OF printing paper to

ALABAMA LIQUOR
LAW MOST DRASTIC

Montgomery Ala, Nov. 28.-Voters
of Alabama will vote tomorrow on a
constitutional amendment prohibiting
the manufacture and sale Of intoxicag-
ing liquors. The campaign which
closed last night has been bitter. The
amendment is the most drastic anti
liquor measure ever introduced IN
any state. One Of its provisions en-
powers the legislature to prohibit
citizens from keeping liquors in their
homes, if the sentiment becomes
strong enough to demand this. Both
Unite States senators and five con-
gressmen oppose the amendment. The
governor, lieutenant governor and
speaker of the house are supporting
it. About half of the 10000 voters
failed to pay their poll tax, not
knowing there would be an election
this year, consequently these were de-
barred from voting.
