STORM WORST

Sweeps Eastern Coast with Fury, Causing Loss
of Large Number Of Lives.

| New York, Dec. 27.-Eighteen per
sons IN and near New York perished
in the Christmas blizzard or from ac-
c1dents caused thereby. Six of this
number died from exposure after be-
ing caught in snow drifts which they
were unable to penetrate. Others
were drowned and several were killed
by trains.
Today New York and it's vicinity is
rapidly digging itself out from undes
cover of the ten-inch snowfall. By
noon traffic conditions approached
something like the normal as the re-
suit of the labors of nearly ten thou
sand men in the employ of the city and
the traction lines, while steam rail
road conditions were rapidly improving
all around.
Wire communication, which was
badly interrupted during the worst of
the blow, was fairly good today ex-
cept to New England points. The
Western Union had few wires work
ing to Boston, but the Postal wires to
that city were all down, and telephone

Wealth of Years
By NJ. E. Rigby, Glendive, Mont.

That each event from out repose
Blends in with even rhyme
We hear not the footsteps fall:
Hear not the silver chime;
As one by one in the silent hall
OF the past, the ages gather all.
And unseen hands SO gently fall
Upon the harp Of time.
What music swells from the harp of time7
" Tis the silent march Of years
And nations step to the measured rhvme
And men enchanted by the chime
Sway to and fro as line by line
They cross with hopes and fears.
We feel the trembling of the tide;
We see mighty throng:
The stream OF time grows deep and vide
We get glimpse of the other side,
And then engulfed, our time we bide,
Enraptured by the song.
'Tis mournful song The dirge of the past''
And feel throb of pain,
AS we gaze upon the crumbling mass
OF ruined hopes forgotten class
Of monuments that meier could pass
Old Time in his ceaseless reign
The monuments of human skill
Resist for time the BLAST
But the ceaseless tide and iron will
of Time, as ne turns his mighty mill,
Crumble to ruins grim and still
These tombstones Of the past
~
We see crowd, mighty throng,
As they surge to and fro thru the years;
Some are merry with laugh and song,
Some-whose hands are red with wrong
Have marked the age to which they belong
With sorrow and with tears.
We see mighty nation rise,
We hear the din of war;
For brief time the conqueror yies
Then holds with pride the III gained prize
But soon, or powered, sewers the ties,
And the tide sweeps all before
We listen to the great roll call,
The ages stand abreast,
And nations rise and nations fall,
The night of the past steals over all,
And one by one in the silent hall,
Each nation sinks to rest
Then, what have these years in their ceaseless flow
Brought to this grand old world?
The low made high, the high made low,
A mantle cast DER friend and foe;
Together in mighty row,
The nations have been furled
Their cities crumbled into dust,
To dust their nation pride,
The crown OF monarchs worn by rust.
Till the dirge of the past is @sDust to dust, -
And the gold is swept with those who trust
In gold, by the ceaseless tide
But truth and wealth have these years brought
From the depths of the distant past;
The truth of heaven, the wealth of thought.
A higher life by wisdom taught,
brighter hope from the ages brot.
That defes Times wearing blast
4 hope that shines like star through the night,
4 wealth enriching the world,
4 truth, the soul and life Of light,
That shines thru the ages full and bright,
7adeIess, undmnned, tho years in their fight
Hath darkness and gloom unfurled
Then live while you live for the ages to be,
Add your lives to the wealth OF the tide,
3uild high your hopes on the platform of truth
Build in the strength and richness Of youth
Those enduring structures, which forsooth
Will become the nation S pride.

Engines That Fly

tt HE number of motors constructed for use on
aeroplanes is very large. Those, however, that
have been actually used in flight are very few,
and fewer still of the remainder capable OF being
used as assured by recent writer. In this
country authentic flights have been made only by the
Wright brothers machines and by three belonging to
the Aerial experiment association at Hammondsport,
n. Y, called, respectively, the Red Wing the White
Wing and the June Bug. These last use the Curtlss
air cooled gasoline motor Wilbur Wright, in his
French flights, used motor much more closely re-
sembng that of automobile than any others in ex-
istence thus proving that successful flight does not
depend on any special form of engine AeronautIcal

Why Is the Sea Salto

| EARNED treatises have been written this sub
Lject, but they may all be boiled down to this-the
is salt because there salt in it. There is just
as much salt on the globe there when it had
first cooled to its present temperature and as this
substance is soluble in it is to be wondered
that large part of it has gradually accumulated
in state of solution, in the ocean. Biologists now
generally hold that all the salt in the brought
down to it by rivers. All running water is very
slightly salt, and constant evaporation in basin
without outlet concentrates this salt until the solution
saturated Witness the Salt lake of Utah and the
Dead sea, both lakes with outlets and both sater
than the ocean. Accordne to this view, the is
simply great lake with outlet, and it therefore
salt for precisely the reason that Great Salt
lake is.
Z This view however, hardly takes into account the
enormous quantity of salt in the Sea water
holds solution about 35 per cent of various salts
that if we should be able to evaporate the whole
there would be left enough solid matter to cover
the whole globe to height of about Us feet.
This is equal alY of the two Americas above
water, Andes, Rocky mountains and all If one
quarter of the earths above level had been
solid salt and all this had been dissolved in the
that body would have been salter than it is Suess
German geologst, believes that the salt originally
came from the depths of the earth through volcanic
vents. Modern eruptions discharge much salt and
much acid capable of forming salts by union with
various metals One South American volcano when
in eruption discharges daily about So tons of hydro
action was great and widespread, much salt must
have been added to that already on the carth's
surface, and this according to Suess now exists IN
solution water.
