caTic explosion and glacial action in the west side of the peak.
 This mound of snow is the present actual top. Believing it the highest point in the United States south of Alaska, a party of climbers in 1894. named it tColumbia.s Crest This was long thought to be the Mountains rightful distinction, for different com p1tations by experts gave various ele- vations ranging as high as 14,529 feet. Even upon a government map publish ed a late as 1907 the height is stated as 14,526 feet. In view of this va- riety of expert opinion, the fiatteriBg name, not unnaturally, has stuck, in spite of the fact that the govern
 merpt geographers have now adopted, for the Dictionary of Attitudes, the Re galt found by the United States Geological Survey in 1902, 14,S63 feet. That decision leaves the honcr of be- ing the loftiest peak between Alaska and Mexico to Mt. Whitney in the California Sierra d4,502 feet. This. however, will not lessen the pride of the Northwest in it's great peak. A few feet of height signify nothing.

Shakers Charged With Murder Are
 Quietly At Work
Confession of Couple in Reliev. ing Agony of Dying Sister With Chl0rOfOrm Borne Out in Elimination of
 the Body
Especial from United Press.)


 Kissimmee, Fla, Sept. 14-Quietly going about their humble duties in the little Shaker settlement at Ashton, Sister Elizabeth and Brother Gillette, today, seemed all unmindful of the grim charge of murder hanging over them.
 The peaceful, deepely furrowed coun- tenance of Sister Elizabeth, almost ethereal after years of patient devo- tion, expressed no anxiety as to the outcome of her trouble. And she quietly echoed the confident faith of her 54 year old companion.
 Before God, we did what was right
 The exhumation of the body of the dead Sister Sadie proved the story of her death as told in the confession of the couple who in answer to her ago. nized pleadings, aided her to pass from the body" It also disproved an ugly tale that had been circulated as to the cause of the woman's death. The inquest will be held in about 10 days. The Grand Jury which will consider the case does not meet until November and by that time the two aged Shakers accused of murder will be going quietly and calmly about their work in the settlement as here- tofore.

glacier saxirts a cliff, it is cutting into its side, as it cuts into it's own bed below. From the overihanging rocks. too, debris falls as a result of wealth frost and heat a1elp greatly to tear down the cliffs
 A glaciers flow varies from hun- dred to a thousand feet year, de- pending upon dts volume, it's width, aRld the slope of its bed. As the de- cades pass, it's level is greatly lowered by the melting of the ice.e More and more, earth and rocks accumulate upon the surface, as it travels onward and are scattered over it by the rains and melting snow. At last, in it's old age, when far down its canyon, the glacier is completely hidden. Only at its snollt, where it breaks off, as a rule, in high wiaM of ice, de we real- ize how huge a volume and weight it must have, far above toward its sour ces, or why so many of the crevasses on the upper ice fields seem almost bottomaess.
 These hints of the almost inconcedv- able mass of a glacier suggest how much of the Mount ain has already teen waitt1ed and planed away. But here we may do better than speculate. The original surface of the peak is clearly indicated by the tops of the great rock wedges which have survfv- ed the gla,ciel sculpturing. These rise the glaciers, which are themselves several thousand feet in depth.
 Wherever lava flows occurred in the building of the Mountain strata formed; and such stuati1cation is clearly seen at intervals on the sides of the cliffs just mentioned. Its in cline, of course. is that of the former STyl> ,ir,t 9V-f7-- not toward the summit which we see. but far above it. For this reason the geologists who have examined the aretes most closely are agreed that the peak has lost nearly two thOal- sand feet of its height. It blew dts own head off!
 Such explosive eruptions are among the worst vices of volcanoes. Every visitor to Naples remembers how plainly the landscape north of Vesu-H yius tells of a prehistoric decapitation, which left only a low, broad platform, on the south rim of which the little Vesuvius that many of us have climb ed was formed by later eruptdoGss
 Like Vesuvius too, Rainier Tacoma it lost its Nlead. South Peak, or Peak Success and Liberty Gap, the northern elevation, seen from Seattle and Tacoma, are nearly three miles apart on the west side of. the broad summit. These are parts of the rim of the old crater. East of the lime uniting them, and about two miles f com each, the volcano built up an elevation now known as Crater Peak, two small adjacent craters These burnt out craters are now flfled with snow, and where the rims touch, a big snow-flill rises, the strange crea- tre of eddying winds that sweep up through the great Hume cut by vol

AMERICAS NOBLEST
 GLACIER PEAK.

Our stately Mountain, in it's youth,
 was as comedy and symmetrical a cone as ever graced the galaxy. of volcanic peaks, says John H. Williams in "The
 Mountain that Was God'," CMt. Ia coma, Or RainieT). To-day. while still young as compared with the obelisk crags of the Alps, it has already taken on the venerable and deepay-scarred physiognon1y of veteran. To some no doubt, the smooth youthful con tours of am active volcano seem more beautiful than the rugged grandeur of the WeisshoTn- But for those who love nature and the story written up- on dts face, mountains have character as truly as men, and they show it in their features as clearly.
 Nowhere is this better exemplified Ttlnan in the monarch of the Cascades. No longer the huge conica1 pimple which a volcano erected on the earth s crust, it bears upon it the history of its own explosion, which scattered its losing battle with the sun, which, en- phoying tlle heaviest of al, tools, is steadily destroying it. It has already lost a tenth of it's height and a third of its bulk. The ice is cutting deeper and deeper into its sides. AS if to compensate for losses in size and shapeliness, the Mountain presents the lIfOsSt IiIpOIudlI SldCldd action to be seen in the United States
 In its dimensions, however, it is still one of the worlds great peaks. The area occupied by this creature of a volcano exceeds three hundred square miles. Of it's surface upwards of 32,- 800 acres, or about fifty-one square miles, are covered by glaciers or the fields of perpetual snow which feed them. It's glacial system is the most extensive on the continent, south of Alaska. The twelve primary glaciers vary in length from three to eight miles, and from half a n1ile to three miles in width. There are nearly as many "intergfaciers, or smaller ice streams which gather their snow SUD- ply, not from the fields of the summit, but within the wedges of rock which the greater glaciers have left pointing upward on the higher slopes.
 That the glaciers of this and every other mountain iri tine northern hem isphere are receding, and that they are now mere pygmies compared with their former selves. is we'll known What ta1eir destructive power must have been when their volume was many times greater than now may be judged from the r11o1aines built along their former channels. Some of these ridges are hundreds of feet in height Many of them are covered with for- ests that must be centuries old.
 Even now, diminished as they are, the glaciers are fast transporting the Mountain toward the sea. Wherever a
