HOW ICEBERGS FORM ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF THE WORKS OF NATURE. Tinette DnnrllnpT Mountains II ave Their Origin In Arctic Glacier*-, "Whence They Majestically Wend Th.-ir Ile?l?tI?'*N Way to thc Sen. Of the many things of Interest which engage one's attention on a voyage to the far north there is none- more fas cinating than tho study of icebergs. If any person who has never seen these remarkable and beautiful forms will look at a piece of Ice as it floats freely in a tumbler of water, he will form a most Imperfect idea of what an iceberg really looks like. Perhaps thc only feature which the ^floating iee mountain and tho fragment of leo appear, on consideration, to have in common, is that they both have un Immense proportion of their bulk un der water-the exact proportion being .somewhat gre 'er in fresh water tlum iii salt water; t .ere being in salt water about seven-eighths of the entire mass under water, varying, ol' course, more or less in different latitudes, according to tiic saltness of the sea und the eon sequent difference of thu buoyancy given to objects floating therein. And luce it may be said that it ls most difficult, when one is looking at au iceberg, to steady the mind from wandering a great deal from the real ization of so simple a fact as this, ow tag, one would.suppose, to the difficulty of conceiving of the enormous quantity of ice which is hidden below the seo level of the berg-In the case of some of the larger bergs implying many mil lions of tons of iee. One striking difference between the appearance of the Iceberg and that of our lump of lee Is the seemingly general opaqueness of the berg and the .smooth and dazzling whiteness of its surface, much of it presenting the ap pearance of frosted silver, the frac tures or vents which are frequently visible on its glittering faces being generally emerald green, merging Into a ?due, varying from that of turquoise almost to indigo. Presently It will appear that an ice-, berg must always consist of frozen fresh water. Frozen sea water, lt is true, does occur In vast quantities in Ibo sea, but this ls In geueral quite different in form and size and entirely different in the origin of Its formation. This'ice is called Hoc Ice, pack ice or field ice, according to where and how it is disposed. The formation of Icebergs is some thing like this: The whole of the in terior of tue continent of Greenland, which consists of upward of nou.OM) square miles of mountainous plateaus. Is perpetually covered to a depth of many hundred feet with one vast .desert of snow, called the "Ice cap." This receives a constant increase of newly fallen snow, that during thc summer becomes, by the action of the sun and wet weather by day. and bj' regelation at night, changed into a granulated condition. Afterward it is recongealed Into ice, and, being impelled by enormous pres sure from behind and above, throws off a great number of rivers of ice, or glaciers, as they are called, presenting the appearance of a noble torrent sud denly petrified hy some overwhelming force. The snowfields, which ile at the up per part of every glacier, are composea of crystallized snow, which continues .unchanged to long as It remains dry, hut undergoes a great transformation when the sun, melting the upper sur face allowa the water to trickle down into the substance of the mass of snow. This fluid congealing again during the night transforms the snow into a granulated mass formed of small, round icicles, half snow and half ice. By the repetition of this process, which also displaces the ulr, and by pressure from the subjacent layers, thc Whole mass is now united and consoli dated to form lee. As an illustration of regelation of '.ce when the air Is ex cluded, w* may take two pieces of Ice and under water place them together so that they touch. They will Immedi ately freeze together. As a string of small fragments of ice may easily thus be formed, so also are chains of ice bergs sometimes met with. From the Interior these glaciers wend their ?low and resistless w-ay down the mountain sides or through the valleys toward or Into the sea. As the width and length, so does the height or thick ness of the glacier vary, in some in stances the measurement being as much as 800 or 400 feet, rising out of the sea or fiord like a solid wall of glass, with an unknown and almost un fathomable depth of Ice below the sea level. The foot of the glacier, where it -reaches the sea, may often be many Stiles in width. The great Humboldt glacier has a pr?cipitions facial edge of some 00 miles ip length. The disrup tion of great masses of its substance, between the combined action of the ?praising force of the tides on Its un der surface and its own overhanging weight as it protrudes down Into the sea, accompanied at such a moment by a detonation and thunder like the noise of artillery, forms icebergs. As the Immense mass strikes the wa ter many fragments, forming smaller bergs, are shaken off. The white foam swirls around the vortex formed by the descending mass, and while It struggles to steady itself in its new home thc billows which arise from the disturbed water imperil any boats or other craft which chance to be at not a properly respectful distance from the scene. These bergs are then carried down the deep , white fiords or arms of the sea by favoring winds and tides and sall In their solitary and majestic coulee out into the open and follow for mftny weeks, and sometimes months, tie course of the current toward their destination. f'sed By British Soldiers In Afrloa. : .

The leather mau warf busy hoisting br.:: Ik's o? leather u?> from tho cellar by menus of u pulley rape, weighing lt ami loading it ou tho cart w hich stood at the door ready to carry the load to the shoe manufacturers. Ho looked up, however, at a question and paused to wipe the perspiration from ids brow. "Tell you about leather? Well, that's a long story. You see, there are 50 different kinds of leather if there is one. and the processes through which tlie hides go between the time they leave tia? stockyards and the time when tlie shoe niau gets thom are many ami varied. There are steer hides, calf skins, goat skins and oth ers, which aro prepared cadi in one certain way. "Tlie green skins come from the great stockyards in Chicago nr.t; Kan sas ('?ty to Hie tannery, which is gen erally built cu tlie hank ol' a pure stream and near woodland. At the tannery the hides are at ?ince placed in great vats lilied with fresh, cold water and left there to soak for two or three days. The water tends to soften them. Then the skins are put in a long trough ami run through a sort of slide, while heavy hammers pound them to a great er softness and pliability. Water is played on them in a steady stream. "When tlie work lu tlie trough Is fin ished, the hides are placed back in the vats, and they soak there a little more -for a day or so. The next move is to keep them four or live days in thc sweat pits. The sweat pits are dug out in the sides of the hills and the skins are hung up in rooms inside. It is dangerous for a man to stay lu one of these pits, owing to the fumes of am monia which issue from the hides after they have been confined for a lit tle while. They are powerful enough at times to overcome a person. But the workmen know what they are about and do not imperil their llvc3 by remaining too long in the place. "After the turn in tlie sweat pits the hides aro ready for scraping. It takes a trained tanner to know just how long to koop them in the sweat pits. When the thing is done right, the hides 6hould lie just about at the point of decomposition before they are taken out. Thou bare armed men stand ready with long, sharp knives, whicli they work over the skins with both hands, removing all the hair and the small particles of flesh so that there ls not a shread of it left. Each skin is gone over thoroughly and tossed into still another vat lilied witli a liquid in which there are small strips of hem lock bark. The hemlock bark lias a hardening tendency on tlie skins. In some cases acids are used in addition to tlie bark. "Tanners have an Instrument they call a barkometcr with which they test the strength of the liquid. It would not do to have it too strong or tho skins would be burned. So they are generally put first into a weak solu tion. The bark juice, or whatever you want to call it, permeates the skin through every pore. The next process is that of drying. Then the dry hide is rolled and a coating of fish oil spread over it to give it tlie peculiar gloss which you notice in leather. The skins are next stored in a loft for two or three days and afterward shipped to the leather sellers in New York and other citier.. We have nothing to do here but weigh them and send them off to the Bhoemen. That is tlie way that sole leather ls prepared." "What ?3 the best.kind of leather?" "The best quality of leather is made from hides that come from South America, mostly from Buenos Ayres. A great deal of these 1 ides we get from tue big western cattle states. The thicker a skin is the better for us. Au old cow has a thick skin, but a calf skin ls thiu and only used for making uppers of shoes. Some hides are very expensive. It would not be possible, on account of their scarcity, to get a buffalo hide for less than $200. These hides here," said the dealer, pushing some with his foot, "we sell for 23 or 24 cents a pound, and they range in weight from 12 to 14 pounds."-New York Sun. His Lifo Saver. A commercial traveler who Is putting ap at one of tho hotels exhibited a corio UH contrivance to some friends last evening. It consisted of a metal reel almost eight inches long bolted se curely to oue of the inside corners of his trunk. On tho reel was wound about 100 feet of steel wire, terminat ing in a sort of stirrup. The entire de vice occupied considerably less than a square foot of room, and. the drummer I explained that lt was a fire escape of his own Invention. "All I have to do," he said, "Is to put my foot in the stirrup and let myself nut of the window? The trunk acts as an anchor at this ead and a ratchet at the side of the reel prevents the wire from pay ing out too rapidly." "Did you ever have occasion to put it to use?" asked one of the spectators. "Only once," replied the drummer. "I was In a hotel that caught fire at night about eight months ago, and the first thing I did when I jumped out of bed was to rush for my trunk. It was locked, and in my excitement I couldn't find the key. I hunted high and low and was still hunting when the porter rushed in and led me down stairs. They extinguished the fire, and I subsequently discovered the key under the bureau. Now I have the thing on a chain and am loaded for conflagrations of all brands."-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Arc Sure Forerunners of Disaster, and Fridays and thc Thir teenth ot the Month Aro Days uti Which They Shun Ilogucrr. Professional criminals have many superstitions. Not one in 100 will com mit a theft of any daring on a Friday or ou the 13th of the month. In sup port of this superstition almost any old time crook will cite the instance of Charles McLaughlin, alias McLain, an expert hotel sneak am ail round thief who worked in Now York city in thc early seventies. In 1872 lu?, a pai named Howard and two other thieves planned to rob uti ofiiee in ISrooklyu. The only date on which the ji li could be done with profit and safety was un June KL Oil that day the cashier's money drawer would be full and the office force would be small. .Ml tho crooks regarded thu date dubiously, and would have selected another, with k?? prospect of success, hut for the expostulation of McLaughlin. :<o tho raid was made on the day originally determined upon. It provec? a disas trous failure. All the men were caught except McLaughlin. who escaped through a window. Thoso who wore captured wert; sent to prison for seven years each. McLaughlin never had any good luck after that, lie was caught in tho Westminster hotel. New York, loaded with plunder, and was sentenced on a Friday, thc 13th of the month. Thieves can tell many anecdotes to prove that Fridays and the 13th of the mouth are days set aside for rest. For Instance, they will tell you how Dan Kelly, a bank burglar, who worked lu and around Louisville, Ky., lu tho ear ly eighties, was killed on thc 13th of December while robbing a safe In a 6inall town and bow his partner was struck by lightning while making his escape. Crooks lu general avoid black cats and blind dogs. It is regarded as a challenge to disaster and misfortune to kill either. If a thief on his way to commit a theft sees a black cat or is followed by a clog, be will probably abandon thc job for the time being. If a black cat rims in front of him. he will quit work for a week. In ISS'J Frank Mccormack, .Tames Leonard. Tom Freemout and Mike Duffy, safe blow ers who were making their headquar ters Ir. Buffalo, went to Lockport one night to rob a safe in the office of a flouring mill which stood close to thc Central railway tracks. It was au ideal spot for a burglary, because the noise of Massing trains would deaden thc sounds made while drilling and blowing open the safe. The quartet were passing through the railway yards about li a. m. when a black cat darted across the tracks not two yards ahead of them and, stopping in thc shadow of a switch, bowled hideously. All the men stopped. "You can count mc out." said Duffy to Leonard. "You going to let that cat scare you?" asked Lcouard. "That's just what 1 nm." Duffy re torted. Mccormack and Freemout staid with Leonard. The trio got Into the place and bad just blown the door off tho safe when they were surprised by two men fully armed. Freemout and Leon ard were dangerously Injured. They and Mccormack wcro-sentenced to six years in Auburn prison. Leonard told the story as here related to a Cuf?alo detective present at the trial. Most crooks lose their money at some sort of gaming. A thief, especially a housebreaker, believes in working while his luck Is good. For iustance, he will often leave a game he Is win ning to go out and commit a robbery, believing that good luck will continue to attend him. When he loses and is compelled to go out and rob, he is nerv ous, feeling that his ill luck will con tinue. If a burglar can touch a hunch back, he ls confident that his lucky star will rise Immediately. Once inside a bouse there are many things which are ominous to the reis ceptible housebreaker. For instance, thc sobbing of a child Is looked upon as a forerunner of discovery, and many burglars will Immediately depart on hearing such n noise. Another thing which ls regarded as a bad sign is to get in a room where a. clock jtops. If It stopped before the thief sees lt, no notice is taken, but if It stops while he Is in the room be will make baste to get out. Burglar Tom. who 20 years ago was an expert, had great faith in the clock stopping sign and be relates this story: MI got Into a bouse In Montreal one time, and was going through a man's trousers pockets when a small clock In the room stopped. I went on with my search and was about finished when a man In the bed beside me said, 'Hands up!' He had a gun and it was pointed at me. I surrendered and did ?eren years In prison for burglary, first degree." Pickpockets have a superstition of their own. They believe that to pick the pocket of a one armed man is fol lowed by bad luck of some sort. They sometimes believe that a run of the hardest kind of luck will befall the thief who robs a blind man.-New York Sun. _? One Woman's Bliss.

Several days ago a business man. the basement of whose establishment ls more or less Infested with rnts, pur chased a patent rattrap. "The day before I set it," he declared in relating his little talc, "I found a nest of 14 tiny rats In a bundle of shavings in tho basement. The little fellows struck me ns being just the right kind of bait with which to cap ture their parcuts, and 1 put them luto the trap, huddled all together on the top of the lid of a tin can. The next morning I repaired to the basement prepared to see the mother rat, If not the father, safely caged Inside thc trap. "You can imagine my surprise when I discovered that not only the old rats were missing, but that the baby ro dents were gone as well. The tin can top left in the trap showed me how the mother rat had effected the release of the little ones. It rested on the edge of the door leading into the trap aud through which the old rat would have bad to pass to get inside, whore her hables were. "Originally the tin can top was ai least un inch from the door, but the parent rodent undoubtedly sized up the game and carefully pushed open tho door until it rested on the flori.'. Then she reached in and pulled the tin can top over so that its weight held the door down, after which the work of carrying out the little rats, not one of which was able to either see or walk, was easy. Great rat, that old one, don't you think?"-Philadelphie Inquirer. Ancient Pianos. There is a very Interesting collection of old pianos lu the Kornau museum at Hildesheim, Germany. Dating all the way from the end of the seven teenth century, the collection exhibits in a very instructive way the primi tive origin of piano manufacture, and gives one an idea of the simple instru ments used by our greatest music com posers. The oldest instrument on exhibition Is a small clavichord of the seven teenth centur3', possessing ?'4 tones with 28 two choral-bound strings. An other of equal antiquarian value has four full octaves-a one chord Italian spinet, built at an angle and possess ing a rich and beautiful tone for sing ing accompaniment. The strings are rifted with pointed crow quills. Both instruments date from the time of Handel, Bach and Gluck. One Instrument was made in the first half of the eighteenth century and is a bound clavichord of 4% oc taves, 58 tones and 40 strings. Thero is also an Instrument from the second hair of the last century which pos sesses 5*4 octav?..?. The last two are supplied with siringa tipped w'*h brass, and their immediate follow^, a were the hammer pianos of 1700, used at the time of Haydn, Mozart and Bee thoven, and even by Mendelssohn, Bar? tholdy. Chopin ar a Franz Liszt during their youth.-Cb'jago Record. A Chapter on Pena. It wus not until 1780 that a Birming ham manufacturer named Harrison in troduced the metallic pen to England. Even then, 23 years later, when a barrel of them was on sale in London, we read that they were by far too ex pensive for general use. We do. not know the price then asked, but at the time of the battle of Waterloo we read that Sheldon of Sedgley was selling them at 18 shillings the dozen. In the 17 years following that date the price fell to two-thirds this sum. Today, on the average, 150 pens can be bought for the price which our grandfathers paid for one GO years ago. Yet there is a good deal of work to be done on the successor of Byron's "Gray Goose Quill." Each of tho mil lions turned out every year (It is a thousand million in England alone) has to go through 1G separate processes. One English writer on this subject says: "Should wc, In place of rolling out the steel Into strips the thickness of pens, pull lt out into one square bar having the width and height of Its cross area each three-sevenths of an Inch, then we should get a bar 471 miles long, which could bo bent so: that one end of the arc rested in Lon-' don and the other end in Edinburgh." -London Chronicle. - mt . mm, - - "They won't let Bill in the army jest kate ono arm was shorter tban t'other, an' he'd lost his left ear an' couldn't hear ont o' the right one, an' he wus bowlegged on ono side an' knockneed on t'other, though the oap'n said his gin'rul health wuz amazin' goodl An the whole com munity has passed resolutions that this Guver'mint is down on patriote, aa' or ter be cussed out!" -- There is only one flook of pure merino sheep in England. Th ive Very Crafty Canines. NEWTON, A. C.. September 2S. Morgantown and Lenoir together have three dogs that should be allowed to vote after tho Constitutional amend* incut is carried. They are wise dogs. Their tinnies arc Hen jain in Tillman Murphy, Vinco Hicks and .lack Phil lips. Men i.s a fox terrier, Vinco a setter ami .lack isa rat terrier. Hy profession one is a gentleman, ono a beggar and the other a deadbeat. Hen is thc gentleman. Ile belongs, to Robert Murphy, youngest son of Dr. and Mrs. 1\ L. Murphy, of thc State Hospital. Hubert and Ben have lived together, night and day, for the . last four or live years. Thc a licet ion between thc two is very strong and sincere livery where Robert .H Hen goes. When Hohert is at thc I table Hen is there. When Hobcrb is in bcd Hen is limier the cover j by his side. In color, the dog is a strawberry blonde, with white spots. His hair i.> linc mid hi> hab it- goo.]. He is neat, clean and trim in appearance. Indeed, he isa pol ished gentleman. Though indifferent, cold, evqu rude, to thc rest ?d'man kind, he is warm hearted, playful and jolly with his little master. When Hebert is through eating and leaves thc table Hen gets on his chair and waits patiently for a morsel of meat or a sweet bouc. If thc table was ready to overflew with rare IMIJ dainty food and Ben's mouth was watering for a feast, he would not so much as touch his nose to a piece of it uulcss some one gave it to him. Ile is polite and mannerly at the table. Dr. Murphy usually feeds him. One night not long ago I peeped into Robert's room, .after he had re ! tired for the night. Ile was in the bed, sound asleep, and at his back, under the same cover, Ben was .stretch ed at full length, not curled up, as dogs usually sleep, but back to back with Robert. Someone touched thc bed and Ben growled. The boy and dog retire together and risc together. lt is an everyday occurrence at tho hospital to see Ben harnessed to a wa gon and hauling slops to Robert's pigs. Ile seems to like the job. The wagon loaded, Ben in thc shafts and Robert skipping along in frout, off they go to the pig pen. Ben has many other ways of showing his sense. Vinco belongs to Mr. lb J. Hicks, of Morgantown, lie is a well bred bird dog who can trace his ancestry back to the tine Scotch setters that belonged to the Brem family, of Char lotte, twenty years ago. Vinco is beautiful in form and color. His hair is soft and wavy. In thc field after birds he is a good hunter, peart and sensible. But it is his habit of beg ging that I wish to speak of. Every day in the week Vinco is on the streets of Morgantown. Ho is there for a purpose. His eye is on the people that travel tho streets. If a well dressed stranger passes anywhere near Yiuco he at once goes for him. He follows the stranger and nudges him with his nose and grunts like a stilled pig. Soon thc stranger is attracted to thc dog by his antics and tries to drivo him away, but in vain. Vinco will not be driven away. He pursues his man in a friendly but persistent way until he gets what be wants money. Someone who knows the dog explains to the stranger that he wants a penny. The man. wraps a penny in a piece of paper and hands it to Vin ce, who goes at once to the beef mar ket, purchases a piece of beef and re turns with it to tho man who furnish ed tho money to buy it. When the meat is taken out of the paper and given back to Vinco by tho stranger he goes out and eats it. There is plenty of red tape about it, but Vinco insists on oarryicg it out to thc letter. Every commercial salesman who visits Morganica knows Vinco. He knows how difficult it is shake him. The late John Sossamon, of Charlotte, could not have approached Vinco as far as tenaoity is concerned. He never gives up. Treat him and he will leave you, but not before. Also, he will do kind deeds. Some time ago Mr. ?J. Elliott, a traveling salesman, lost his mileage book, containing 800 miles. He did not know that it was lost until Vinco came into thc store where he was selling a bill of goods and handed it to him. Mr. Elliott was a stranger to thc dog, lut the power of smell aided Vinco in finding thc owner of that book. Like a little uegro Vinco wanted a reward. Ile was given a penny to purchase a bit of beef. Vinco trades at one place all the time. He is a welcome customer. His butcher told me that he averaged ten cents a day from him. That is about $30 worth a year, more than mont fam ilies use. If you go to Morganton and wear a standing collar and look the least bit dressed up Vineo will in troduce himself. But if you are Ri elad and slouchy he will take no no tice of you at all. Until forbidden by special church law, Vineo sang in tho choirs around town. He was for a long time a regu lar attendant ut Sunday-school. Jack Phillips ip owned by Mrs. Ella Phillips, of Lenoir. Jack is as black as an African negro.
