THE WINDOWS RATTLE
Only Few Are Killed and Injured
by One of Most Awful Ex-

the Country.

One of the most awful powder
mill explosions in the history of the
country was distinctly felt N Plym-
outh Thursday between $3.50 and
900 O'Clock p. m Windows ratified,
doors and buildings shook and many
were badly frightened.
At Shadel's drug store it was
feared that the big plate glass
window in front would fall out. The
sign hanging in it banged against
ii until it nearly broke. Several
visitors hurried home with scared
faces, not knowing but an earth
quake was upon US.
The cause of the shaking was a
terrific powder mill explosion at
Pleasant Prairie, Wis. Five powder
magazines of the Dupont Nemours
Powder company containing $50
tons of finished black powder and
dynamite, exploded at the plant of
the company one mile northwest of
the village.

The force of the explosion was
felt more than 200 miles. In all the
towns along the shore Of Lake

gan City, Indiana, buildings were
damaged and windows smashed.

The Last of Their Line.

The cedarS of Lebanon. whose
beauty has been sung by sacred
writers and whose timbers were
used in the building Of the famous
temples seem to those of us today
to he like the history and times
that immoralized them, to belong
to a distant past but as a matter of
fact, while there doubtless was no
conservation of forests agitation in
ancient Syria, such is the longevity
of the trees that two hundred yet
remain to attest the truth of the
admiration given them from time
immemOrable.
The two hundred are the last of
that munifcent growth which once
clothed all the sides of the Syrian
mountains. So tall and beautiful
were the famous trees in compare
son with the trees Of Palestine that
their superiority caused them to re-
ceive the extraordinary praise Of
the Hebrew writer's. and from the
earliest times their soft white wood
was the glory of Jewish archi-
lecture.
The youngest Sunday school pu-
pill is familiar with the story of the
part these cedars played in the
building of SolomOn's temple. They
were also used in the construction
of a second temple, built on the re-
turn Of the Jews from captivity and
were later employed in the building
of the church erected by Constan,
tine at Jerusalem.
A late writer, speaking of the
surviving trees, says they are called
by the Arabs the Trees Of God,
and the clergy OF the Greek church
occasionally celebrated mass.
There is a familiar saying that
blessings brighten as they take thei
flight, and this holds good in re

The Usefulness Of Glaciers.

The existing ice tongues of vari-
Gus parts of the world tell US much
about the origin of features of
topography, soil, and drainage, in
places where there are no glaciers
now. In Alaska they have import
ant relationships to present day
life. The smooth or slightly crew
assed ones have sometimes been
used as highways. The severely
Crevassed ice tongues are barriers.
Gold-SeekinG prospectors have over
come many of these difficulties and
traversed the glaciers successfully,
but labor has been expended and
many lives lost in making use of
the glacier highways. In one part
of Alaska the glaciers occupy so
large a part of a valley that rail-
way has been built over the low,
almost motiOnles3 outer portions
of two glaciers. Several rivers
have impossible rapids because of
construction by glacier Some of
the placer gold of Alaska is in gla
cial gravels, and melting ice tongues
furnish the water for sluicing and
hydraulic operations in several
gold camps. Icebergs from some
tidewater glaciers form a menace
to navigation, but erosion by gla-
cierS has eXcavated the deep navi-
gable fords in Alaska, Glacier ice
is used for packing fish in south
eastern Alask. The Columbia Gla-
cier has few of these relationships
but it displays the typical features
of an active glacier. Many of the
similar ice tongues in Alaska are
not accessible to traveles by steam
ship and railway. From Columbia

Tongue" by Lawrence Martin, in
