Icy Mountains.
THE MAKING OF AN ICEBERG.
Huge Sheets Of Ice q Milo Thick In
Places Slide Down to tho Sea, ana
as the Ends Become Too Heav,
They Break OF and Form Berss.

At any time of the year ice may be
encountered in the Atlantic north of
the fortieth parallel of latitude, APP
proximately that of New York, and
between II and 50 degrees west longi.
mde but it is in spring. when the in.
freasing warmth of the sun loosens
the arctic foes and causes the bergs to
melt and float from the places where
tney have been stranded, that there is
che greatest danger to the mariner.
The bergs have their origin almost
exclusively In western Greenland, al
though a few may come around Cape
Farewell from the Spitzbergen sea and
some from Hudson bay.
A huge sheet of ice n mile thick in
places covers the whole of Greenland.
This gradually slides down the valley
toward the sea. into which it is thrust
in great sheets fifty miles wide. As
these ends become too heavy they
break off and become bergs. The proc
ess is known as ''calying." The pieces
set adrift thus may be a thousand feet
out of the water and mile square.
but as they drift about they become
broken and continue to diminish in
size until they finally disappear com
pletely The process sometimes takes
several years.
Once set adrift icebergs find their
way into the Labrador current and be-
gin their journey. But of all bergs so
set adrift only very small proportion
ever find their way into the path of the
transatlantic steamships.
Nor do all bergs take the same
course. Some go south; others lodge
against the shore or against islands.
Two years may separate the time that
two bergs reach a low latitude, though
they were "calved. at the same mo-
ment.
Field ice also offers an obstruction to
the iceberes. though by their great
size and bulk they often act as plows
and aid materially in breaking up the
ice fields which obstruct the arctic ba-
sin.
Ice fields are more affected by the
wind than are icebergs. Bergs gener-
ally drift with the current, so that one
sometimes is seen moving into the
wind.
Advantage is taken of this by the
sealing and fishing boats when caught
in an ice field. They often moor to an
iceberg and are lowed miles through
the ice, through which otherwise they
| could make no Roadway. This is ac-
colnplished by sinking an anchor into
| the berg and using a strong towline

Anty Drudge" sakes aive They're writing to me
from everywhere wanting to know how to clean this,
that and the other thing with Fels-Naptha. Seems
as though they re just finding out that Fels-Naptha
is good for other things besides washing clothes.

Next to a willing husband, Fels-Naptha
soap is the handiest thing a woman can
have about the house. Not only on
washday is Fels-Naptha Useful, but when
ever there is anything to be cleaned.
Fels-Naptha will clean windows and
polish them at the same time. 1t IS the
only soap that will "cut'' smoke grease
without securing. Fels-Naptha is just as
superior for washing dishes as for washing
clothes. And as it is used in cold or luke
warm water there is no danger OF cracking
fine china or glassware. For washing floors,
walls, linoleum or anything else that is
washable you'll find Fels-Naptha, cold or
lukewarm water and soft cloth, an unbeat-
able combination.
And don forget that Fels-Naptha is
the best kind Of an antiseptie. Germs do
not live in things washed with it.

honor of the reception given there by
the officers of the Presbyterian church

JUDGE CALHOUN
A CANDIDATE
For States Attorney to Sue.
ceed the late ]. M. Rivers.

Judge L. Noble Calhoun of this city
has some powerful backing for the
office of states attorney for the Eighth
Judicial Circuit TO succeed the late Hon.
]. M. Rivers, who died at his home in
Gainesville last Saturday night.
This office is filled by appointment of
Gov. Gilchrist and strong appeals have
been made to the Governor in the in
terests of Judge Calhoun, who is one of
the brightest attorneys in the state, and
admirably qualified to fill with diStin-
guished ability this high and responsible
office.
His endorsements for the place come
from the leading business and profess
Sional men not only of Palatka, but of
Jacksonville, St. Augustine and other
parts of the state. His appointment
would please his hosts OF friends all
over the state, and would be in line
with Gov. Gilchrst's well-known and
practiced policy of appointing men to
office because of peculiar fitness for the
wor k involved. Judge Calhoun has the
needed fitness for the work. He is the
son of the late Hon. Benz. P. Calhoun
who for several years did fill the office
with such distinguished ability, and
was many times his fathers most eff
cient assistant. He is known in all
parts of the circuit, having been sue
ceSsful practitioner for some ten years.
The people of Palatka would rejoice
over his appointment as a deserved pro-
motion.
The Palatka Bar Association met on
Tuesday and passed resolutions of re-
spect for the late prosecutor, and unani-
mouSly endorsed Mr.. Calhoun'S candi-
dacy.
Other candidates for the place are A.
V. Long of Starke and Thos. w. Field
ing OF Gainesville.

JOHN STOCKTON
VISITS PALATKA
Leading Senatorial Candidate
Spends Day Here and Speaks
at Court House.

Hon. John N. c. Stockton, whom
many conccde TO be the leading candi-
date in the present senatorial race, ar
rived in the city over the Atlantic Coast
Line Wednesday morning and spent the
day calling upon the people. 1t was a
cold day and many who had planned
coming in from the country stayed at
home by the fire.
The court house meeting was not
largely attended. II was very cold; there
is no way of heating the court room,
and, as usual, the electric lights failed to
respond 10 the turn of the switch. Lamps
had to be used to light the room. Many
who brayed the chill night air to hear
this well-known and popular Floridian
turned away when they learned of the
failure of the lights and that the room
was without fire. Some fifty odd men,
however, remained through the meeting
huddled in their overcoatS.
Mr.. Stockton, who was introduced by
]. N. Blackwell, made good talk from
the standpoint of business man. He
went into the financial and tariff ques-
tions particularly and told of the methods
business man would employ TO correct
their faults. He said that the people
could Judge best of a candidates fitness
by his previous efforts in behalf of the
people, and went over his own public
record to show wherein his main thought
had been the peoples welfare, He said
that if elected TO the office OF United
States senator he would give his full
time 10 the work of the office-that he
would be on the job all the time-and
that he would go after things on bust
ness basis. He would be senator of the
whole state of Florida and not of any
section.
Mr.. Stockton made a good address.
Nothing flowery about it, and there were
no flights of eloquence. 1t was simple,
pointed business talk and his audience
showed that it was with him, especially
at the conclusion of his speech, when
storm of applause broke loose.
DR.. H. r. Estes and other friends saw
during the day that Mr.. Stockton met as
many of the people as possible. But
most OF the older citizens knew him
well.
Mr.. Stockton is we'll acquainted with
Palatka. He began coming here in the
7O'S as a commercial drummer, and since
getting into politics, rs years ago, he has
made many and frequent visits TO the
city.
His candidacy undoubtedly meets with
popular approval here, and the indica-
tionS are that he will lead in the ballot

Germaine at the Howell.

The announcement of the coming of
Germaine s. Company the Wizard, to
Howell Theater on next Friday night
Dec. 30th, is sure to be received by the
people of Palatka with much interest
Germaine, and his company of magi.
clans, are as clever set of magiCianS as
are before the public today. Germaine,
himself, is a young man, possessed OF
much native wit and humOr, and what
he has to say adds much 10 the magical
mysteries he performs. 1t is said of
him that he is one of the most skilled
magicians of the day, and always
"makes good" Any demonstration OF
skill on the part of human being ap-
pealS to all men, and while the people
know that their eyes are deceiving thCm
when they look upon the work of
magician, still they all like to be des
Ceived. Germaine will do that very
thing, and he will do it SO very cleverly
that one will be almost convinced that
what he sees is real. Here is what the
Wichita KanS.) Daily Beacon has to
say of his visit TO that city:
"Germainc a Wonder. Germaine, the
magician, drew a crowded house at the
Toler Grand last night He was unani-
mouSly pronounced the best that ever
visited this city. Slight of hand2 Yes,
but bordering so closely on the magical
that though Germaine contends his pur-
pose is solely to amuse and entertain,
there were many who could scarcely be-
lieve that what they saw or did not see
could be anything less than supernatural.
So smoothly and successfully did he per-
form his most difficult featS that Ger
maine was voted the equal, if not the
peer, of Hermann and Keller"
Do not fail to see him when he comes
to Palatka next Friday night, Dec 5Olh,
for no better Christmas entertainment
could possibly have been secured.
