Would Blow Up Icebergs

'I have seen icebergs of vast propor- tions-fully three miles long-and standing 160 feet out of the water. These monsters are frequently to be observed along our shores as late in the year as the month of August, and they are at present allowed to disap- pear by the natural process--under the suns rays. Their collapse is sometimes very sudden. I remember on one occasion observing a large berg through binoculars. It was ten or fifteen miles away. Having inspect ed 1t leisurely. I handed the glasses to friend at my elbow. He, looking to- ward the berg, cried, I can't see it!' I took the glasses and looked again. and was startled to find that the great ice-block had disappeared. It had. I suppose. been honeycombed by the suns rays and had suddenly collapsed
 I could zee small pieces of ice float ing around. but the great berg had

SHRINE AT ABINGDON
Edifice in Judson's Country Ia
 Over 4,OOO Years Old.
Noted Shrine Has GIIded Dome That RIees 370 Feet Above Vast Plat form-Picturesque People at
 Worship.

Rangoon.-Beyond the silt of the hydra-mouthed Irrawaddy, as you swing in from the Bay of Bengal and churn the turgid waters of the Ran- goon river, rises slender cone of gold out of the smoke of rice mills and oil refineries. There is nothing in all the templed east, from the mosque of Sultan Hassan at Cairo to the Shogun temples of Nikko, that surpasses 1t, for it is one of the few great shrines that stand out in mem- ory as a thing apart long after the others have faded in confused perspec- tive adown the vista of forgetfulness.
 That this tapering dome of gilded and bespangled handiwork rises 370 feet above the vast platform of It's base and that its circumference is . quarter of mile-all this is nothing beside the wonderful life that thrObs in It's shaded recesses or basks in the torrid sun. Here at Rangoon, as no where else-not even at Benares on the Sacred river-here in Judsons country, the most Christian of east ern lands, you may best see "the heather in his blindness" and idolatry in its grossest and most massive form. Elsewhere you see one or few stat ues of Buddha; here you count them by dozens and scores-heroic size, life- size, miniatures; Buddha seated, re clining, standing; Buddha on post card and in chromo; Buddha, Buddha everywhere.
 And yet 1t is all 50 resplendent in gold-leaf and so gaudy in iridescent. spangles that you feel yourself to be in some stupendous playhouse or Oriental bazar instead of in a holiest- of-all place whither the feet of the countless pilgrims have turned con tinuously for more than two-score centuries.

WHY BABIES DIE.
Woman Charges Kindness Kills
 Many of Them.
Mrs. L. 6. B. Robinson In Address De- cIares infants Would Thrive on
 Care Given to High Breed of Puppies.

St. Paul.-"If we thought half as much of our babies as the breeders Of thoroughbred puppies do of their animals we would not tolerate the shaking, fondling and cuddling with which we seek to quiet and amuse them," said Mrs. l.. S. B. Robinson or the Baby Welfare association, at 8 meeting of the Bethel Woman's club.
 'No man who has high grade pup pies will allow any one to fondle or fuss with them. The father who losses his baby up to the ceiling and makes him laugh until he gets fairly hyster- ical is responsible for much of the chronic nervousness which develops as the child grows up.
 Tt is crime to bounce and toss 8 baby until the food in its stomach is SO shaken up 1t cannot be digested. The tendency to shake our babies is due to American nervousness. The babies cry and we do not know what to do for them. It is far better to put them on the bed and let them cry. If they are comfortable and are not hungry, it will do them no harm, whatever, and 1t will be better for them. Babies are very easily trained.
 Tt is often sacrilegious statement to say when baby dies that God took it, it died through the fault of he mother, who will not do what she Bhould for the baby. More babies are killed by kindness than anything else. The mother does everything the neigh bors, friends and relatives tell her. America has the highest infant mor- tality rate of all the better governed countries. One bab- in every five dies before it reaches the age of one year. Food Is the most important thing to the young baby, and 1t should not be fed too much or too often. We need city ice company which would furnish the poor fam flies with few cents worth of ice each day, for ice is an absolute neces- stty. Milk which has been exposed to the warm air becomes poisonous.
 Then flies are the cause of much sickness to babies and to adults. II the fly does not fall into the milk and drown, to be flshed out, it crawls along the edge of the pitcher, Gnd then the milk is poured out over the germs 1t leaves. If we cannot afford screens we can at least afford netting. and this will keep out the flies. Better gc without new hat and let the chil dren go without new clothes and gel some screens.

STOLE RIBBONS FROM GRAVES
GIrI's Arrest Reveals Shocking Prac- tice In English Pottery District
 Used Them for Har.

London.--Arnold Bennett has given in his books some curious glimpses of the life and character of the in- -habitants of the pottery districts, but he told nothing so extraordinary as that which was revealed by police court case heard at Fenton, Stafford shire
 Two young girls were charged with stealing ribbons from wreaths which had been placed on new grave in the cemetery. The prosecuting so- licitor said that there had been SO many complaints of offenses of this kind that these cases had been brought as a deterrent. The two girls. who were caught in the act of taking the ribbons from the wreaths, were discharged with caution.
 Inquiries show that ribbons are stolen regularly from the potteries cemeteries by girls, who use them to tic up their hair or to decorate their dresses.

London.-Among the mass or sug- gestions that have been made in con sequence of the loss of the Titanic one of the most curious comes rom resident in St. Johns, Newfound, land, James E. Grant, who has had extensive acquaintance with icebergs along the coast of his own country In an interview he said:
 T would suggest that an iceberg destroying service should be estao- lished without delay, under the con trol of an international board My proposal is not that you should wait for the icebergs until they make their appearance in navigable waters, put that you should attack them at their source, just as they break away and drift into the gulf stream. and that you should blow them to pieces with powerful explosives. Icebergs are formed by the overflow of fresh water from the high banks on the coast or Greenland. The water freezes. the fee is added to the snow, and the spray of the sea, and the bergs becom- ing detached sail down into the gulf stream. and up to the present have been allowed to come into the North Atlantic, where they are an obvious danger to all vessels plying there.
