HOW ICEBERGS EUE31 ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF THE WORKS OF NATURE. These DnxEltnpr Moantulnt* Have ; Their Origin In Arctic (?laelers. Whence They MaJcMtically Wend Their il i's Ls i j ?"K-S Way to thc Sen. Of the ninny things of interest which engage one's attention on a voyage to the far north t?tere is none more -fas cinating than tho study of icebergs. If any person who lins never seen these remarkable und beautiful forms will look nt a piece of Ice as it lloats freely j in a tumbler of water, he will form a j most imperfect idea of what an iceberg j really looks like. Perhaps the only feature which the floating ice mountain ami Hie fragment of ici- ttppear, on consideration, to have in common, is that they both haye an j immense proportion of their bulk un der water-the exact proportion being ' somewhat greater In fresh water than j in sait water; there being in stilt water about seven-eighths of tia? entire mass ' under wate r, varying, of course, more ? or less in different latitudes, according ' to the saltness of the sea and the con- j sequent difference of the buoyancy j given to objects floating therein. And here it. may bo said that it is j most difficult, when one is looking at i an iceberg, to steady Hie mind from wandering a great tleal from the real ization of so simple a fact as this, ow ing, one would suppose, to the difficulty of conceiving of the enormous quantity of ice which is hidden below tho sea level of the berg-in the case of some of the larger bergs implying many mil lions of tons of ice. Ono striking difference between the appearance of the iceberg and that of our lump of Ice Is the seemingly general opaqueness of the berg and the smooth aud dazzling whiteness of Its surface, much of it preyeutiug 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 blue, 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, it Is true, does occur in vast quantities in the sea, but this ls in general quite different In form and size and entirely different In the origin of Its formation. This'ice is called Hoe icc. pack ice or field ice, according to where and how it is disposed. The formation of Icebergs is soiue thiug like this: The whole of the Ul terior of the continent of Greenland, which consists of upward of 500,000 square miles of mountainous plateaus. ls perpetually covered to a dept li of mnny 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' regelntion at night, changed into a granulated condition. Afterward It is recongealcd 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 by some overwhelming force. The snowfields, which lie at the up per part of every glacier, are composea .of crystallized snow, which continues unchanged so long as it remains dry, "but undergoes a great transformation when the sun, melting tho upper sur face, allows the water to trickle down Into the substance of the mass of snow. This fluid cougealing 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 alBo displaces the air, and by pressure from the subjacent layers, the whole mass is now united and consoli dated to form ice. As an Illustration of regelntion of lee when the air ls ex clude, we may take two pieces of ice and under water place them together BO that they touch. They will Immedi ately freeze together. As a sirtes of amah fragments of Ice may easily thus he formed, so also are chains of ice bergs sometimes met with. From the interior these glaciers wend their slow and resistless way 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 wail cf glass, Tv i th an unknown and almost un fathomable depth of Ice below the sea ' level. The foot of the glacier, where lt reaches the sea, may often be many miles In width. The great Humboldt glacier has a precipitous facial edge of Borne 00 miles in length. The disrup tion of great masses of its substance, between the combined action of the upraising 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 coarse out into the open and follow for many weeks, and sometimes months, the 'course of the current toward their .destination.

Tile leather mau wad busy hoisting lu::: Iles of leather up from tho cellar by means of n pulley rope, weighing lt ami loading It on the cart which stood at the ?loor ready to carry tho load to the shoe manufacturers. Ile looked up, however, at a question and paused to wipe tho perspiration from his brow. "Tell you about leather? Well, that's a long story. You see, there ure GO different hinds of loather if there is one, and the processes through which the hides go hot ween the t imo they leave the stockyards and thc? time when the shoe man gets them are many and varied. There aro steer hides, calf skins, goat skins arni oth ers, wliich aro prepared each in ono certain way. .'The green skins como from the groat stockyards in Chicago and Kan sas eily to thc tannery, which is gen erally built cn tho bank' ol' a puro stream and near woodland. At the tannery thc hides are at once placed in great vais lilied with fresh, cold water ami left there to soak for two or throe days. Tin? water lends to soften thom. Thou tlie skins are put in a long trough ana 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 the work in the trough is fin ished, the bides 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 the sweat pits. The sweat pits are dug out in the sides of the bills and the skins aro hung up bi rooms inside. It is dangerous for a man to stay in ono of these pits, owing to the fumes of am monia which issue from the bides after they have been confined for n lit tle while. They are powerful enough at times to overcome a person. But the workmen know what they are ..bout and do not imperil their lives by remaining too long lu the place. "After the turn in the sweat pits the hides aro ready for scrapiug. It takes a trained tanner to know just how long to keep them in the sweat pits. When the thing is done right, tho hides should be just about at the point of decomposition before they are taken out. Then bare armed men stand ready with long, sharp knives, which they work over the skins with both hands, removing all the hair and the small particles of flesh so that there Is not a shread of it left. Each skin is gone over thoroughly and tossed into still another vat filled with a liquid lu which there are small strips of hem lock bark. The hemlock bark lias a hardening tendency on the skins. In some cases acids are used in addition vo the bark. "Tanners have on instrument th03* call a barkometer with which they test the strength of the liquid, lt would not do to have it too strong or thc skins would be burned. So they aro 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 ls that of drying. Then the dry hide is rolled and a coating of fish oii spread over it to give it the 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 cities. We have nothing to do hero but weigh them and send them off to the shocaien. That is thc way that sole leather is prepared." "What is the best.kind of leather?" "The best quality of leather ls made from hides that come from South America, mostly from Buenos Ayres. A great deal of these hides we get from the big western cattle states. The thicker a skin ls the better for us. An old cow has a thick skin, but a calf skin Is thin 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 weir at from 12 to 14 pounds/'-New Yo x Sun. Hla Life Saver. A commercial traveler who is putting ap at one of the -hotels exhibited a curious contrivance to some friends last evening. It consisted of a metal reel almost eight inches long bolted se curely to one of the Inside corners of his trunk. On the reel was wound about 100 feet of steel wire, terminat ing in a sort of'stirrup. The entire itt vice occupied considerably less than a square foot of room, and the drummer 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 out of the window. The trunk acts as an anchor at this end 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 nnd 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.

HAPPENINGS IN WHICH CROOKS SIGNS OF BAD LUCK. illnck v Au Are Sure Forerunners o* Disnotcr, and Fridays and tho Thir teenth ot thc Mooth Arc Days on Which They Slum Iloffucry. Professional erl m I na is have many superstitions. Not ono in loo will com mit u theft of any daring on a Friday or on the 13th of the month. In sup port of tlds superstition almost any old time crook will cite the instance of Charles McLaughlin, ahas Mc La lu. an ; expert hotel sneak and all round thief who worked in Now York city in tho early seventies. In IS72 lie. a pul named Howard and two other thieves planned to roi* tin pfliee lu lirpoklyo. The only date on which ti..' j. h could bu done with profit and safely was ou June lil. On that ?lay the cashier's money drawer would be full ami tho oliice force would !>.. small. All the crooks regarded the date dubiously, and would have selected another, with. Ic03 prospect of success, hut for the expostulation ol' McLaughlin. So tito raid was made on the day originally determined upon, lt proved a disas trous failure. All the men were caught except McLaughlin, Who escaped through a wintlow. Thosj who wero captured were sent to prison for seven years each. McLaughlin never had tiny good luck after that, lie was caught iu tile Westminster hotel. New York, loaded with plunder, and was sentenced on a Friday, the l.'ith of the month. Thieves cnn tell many anecdotes to prove that Fridays and thu 13th of the mouth are days set aside for rest. For instance, they will tell you how Dan Kelly, a bank burglar, who worked in and around Louisville, Ky., In the ear ly eighties, was killed on the 13th of December while robbing a safe In a 6Uiall town and how his partner was struck by lightning while making his escape. Crooks in general avoid black cats aud bliud dogs. It ls regarded as a challenge to disaster and misfortune to kill cither. If a thief on his way to commit a theft sccs a black cat or is followed by a dog, he will prohnbly abandon the job for the time being. If a black cat runs In front of him, he will quit work for a week, in 1SS12 Frank Mccormack, James Leonard. Tom Freemout and Mike Duffy, safe blow ers who were making their headquar ters in Buffalo, wout to Lockport one night to rob a safe in the ellice of a flouring mill which stood close to the Central railway tracks. It was au Ideal spot for a burglary, because the noise of passiug trains would deaden the sounds made while drilling and blowing open the safe. The quartet were passing through the railway yard3 about 2 a. m. when a black cat darted across tho tracks not two yards ahead of them and. stopping in the shadow of a switch, howled hideously. All the mon stopped. "You can count mo out," said Duffy to Leonard. "You going to let that cat scare you?" asked Leonard. "That's just what I am." Duffy re torted. Mccormack and Freemout staid with Leonard. The trio got into Hie place and bad just blown the door off the safe when they were surprised by two men fully armed. Freemont and Leon ard were dangerously injured. They and Mccormack were sentenced to six years in Auburn prison. Leonard told tho story as here related to a Buffalo 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 Instance, 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 ls 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 !s confident that his lucky star will rise immediately. Once inside a bouse there are many things which are ominous to the sus ceptible housebreaker. For Instance, the sobbing of a child ls looked upon os a forerunner of discovery, and many burglars will immediately depart on hearing such a noise. Another thing which ?3 regarded as a bad sign Is to get in a room where a. clock stops. If It stopped before tho thief sees it, no notice is taken, but if lt stops while he ls In the room be will make haste to get out. Burglar Tom. who 20 years ago was an expert had great faith In the clock stopping sign and he relates this story: "I got Into a house In Montreal one time, and was going through a mon'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, 'LTondj upT He had a gun and it was pointed at me. I surrendered and did seven 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 Blias.

Outwitted the Trap. Several days ago a business man. the basement of whose establishment ls more or less infested with rats, pur chased a patent rattrap. "The day before I set it," he declared In relating his little tale, "I found a nest of 14 tiny rats in a bundle of shavings in the basement. The little fellows struck me as being just the right kind of bait with which to cap ture their parents, and I put them into the trap, huddled all together on the top of the lld of a tin can. Tho next morning 1 repaired to the basement prepared to see the mother rat, if not the father, safely caged inside the trap. "You can imagino 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 and through which the old rat would have had to pass to get inside, whore her babies wen?. "Originally the tin can top was at least an inch from the door, hut the parent rodent undoubtedly sized up the game and carefully pushed open the door until it rested on the floor. Then she reached in and pulled the tin can top over so that Its weight held the door down, after willoh the work of carryiug 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?"-Philadelphia Inquirer. Ancient I'iniioa. There Is a very Interesting collection of ob1 oiauos lu thc Hornau museum at Hildesheim, Germany. Dating all the way from tho end of the seven teenth century, thc collection exhibits in a very instructive way thc- primi tivo origin of piano manufacture, and gives one an idea of the simple Instru ments used bj- our greatest music com posers. The oldest instrument on exhibition Is a small clavichord of the seven teenth century, possessing 34 tones with 28 two choral-bound strings. An other of equal antiquarian value has four full octaves-a oue chord itallau 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 4M? oc taves, 58 tones and 40 strings. Thero Is also an instrument from the second half of the last century which pos sesses ?H4 octaves. The last two are supplied with strings tipped with brass, and their immediate followers were the hammer pianos of 1700, used at the time of Haydn, Mozart and Bee thoven, and even by Mendelssohn, Bar tholdy, Chopin and Franz Liszt during their youth.-Chicago Record. A Chapter on Penn. It was not until 1780 that a Birming ham manufacturer named Harrison In troduced the metallic pen to England. Even then, 25 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 thc average, 150 pens can bo bought for the price which our grandfathers paid for one 00 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 ls a thousand million in England alone) has to go through IC 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 mlle? long, which could be bent so that one end of the arc rested In Lon-'' don and the other end In Edinburgh." -London Chronicle. - a - o mm - - "They won't let Bill in the army jest kazc one arm was shorter than t'other, an' he'd lost his left ear an' couldn't hear out o' the right one, an' ho wuz bowlegged on ono side an' knookneed on t'other, though the cap'n said his gin'rul health wuz amazin' good I An the whole com munity has passed resolutions that this Gover'mint is down on patriots, an' orter be cussed out I" - There is only one fiook of pure merino sheep in England. Throe Very Crafty Canines, NEWTON;, X. C. September 28. Morgantown and Lenoir together have three dogs, thut should be allowed to vote after ;lu> Constitutional amend ment is carried. They are wise dogs. Their names are Honjainin Tillman Murphy. Vinco Hicks and Jack Phil lips. Hen is a fox terrier, Vinco a setter and Jack is a rat terrier. Hy profession .'ne is a gentleman, ene a beggar and the other a deadbeat. Hen is th.1 gcutlcman. He belongs i to Hubert Murphy, youngest son of Pr. and Mrs. 1'. 1,. Murphy, of the State Hospital. Hubert ?nd Vu u have lived together, light and day, for tho last four or ti\-.- years. The all.'etion between thc two very strong and sincere. K very whore Hubert . ?.s Hen goes. When Hebert is at tito table Hen is there. When Hubert* is in bod Hon is under the cover by his side. I II C dor. t he dog Ls a strawberry blonde, with white spots His hair is litio, and his hab its goo;]. Ile is neat, clean and trim in appearance. Indeed, ho isa pol ished gentleman. Though indifferent, cold, ovqii rude, to therost ?d' man kind, he is warm-hearted, playful and jolly with his little master. When Hubert is through eating and leaves the table Hen gets on his chair and waits patiently for a morsel of meat or a sweet bono. If thc table was ready to overflow with rare s?nd dainty food and Hen's mouth was watering for a feast, ho would not so much as touch his nose to a piece of it unless some one gave it to him. Ile is polite and mun norh* at the table. Ur. Murphy usually feeds him. Ono night not long ago I peeped into Hobert's room, .after bc bad re tired for the night. Ile was in the bed, sound asleep, and at his back, under thc same cover, Hen was stretch ed at full lctigth, not curled up, as dogs usually sleep, but back to buck with Hobert. Someone touched the bed and Ben growled. Thc boy and dog retire together and rise together. It is an everyday occurrence at tho hospital to sec Ben harnessed to a wa gon and hauling slops to Hobcrt's pigs. He seems to like tho job. Tho wagon loaded, Ben in the shafts and Hobert skipping along in front, off they go to thc pig pen. Hen bas many other ways of showing his sense. Vinco belongs to Mr. D. J. Hicks, of Morgantown. Ile is a well bred bird dog who can trace his ancestry back to the fine Scotch setters that belonged to thc Brem family, of Char lotte, twenty years ago. Vinco is beautiful in form and color. His hair is soft and wavy. In the field after birds he is a g?od hunter, peart and sensible. But it is his habit of bog ging that I wish to speak of. Every day in the week Vinco is on the streets of Morgantown. He is there for a purpose. His eye is on the people that travel thc streets. If a well dressed stranger passes any where near Viuco he at once goes for him. He follows the stranger aud nudges him with his nose and grunts like a stifled pig. Soon the stranger is attracted to the 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 ho 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 co, 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 cats it. There is plenty of red tape about it, but Vinco insists on carrying it out to the letter. Every commercial salesman who visits Morganton knows Vinco. He knows how difficult it is shake him. The late John Sossamon, of Charlotte, could not have approached Vinco BB far as tenacity is concerned. He never gives up. Treat him and he will leave you, but not before. Also, ho will do kind deeds. Some time ago Mr. ti. Elliott, a traveling salesman, lost his mileage book, containing 800 miles. He did not know that it was lost until Vinco came into the store where he was selling a bill of goods and handed it to him. Mr. Elliott was a stranger to thc dog, but the power of smell aided Vinco in finding thc owner of that book. Like a little negro Vinco wanted a reward. He 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 ho averaged ten cents a day from him. That is about $30 worth a year, more than most fam ilies use. If you go to Morgsnton and wear a standing collar and look the least bit dressed up Vinco will in troduce himself. But if you are ill dad and slouchy he will take no no tice of you at all. Until forbidden by special church law, Vinoo sang in the choirs around town. He was for a long time a regu lar attendant at Sunday-school. Jack Phillips is owned by Mrs. Ella Phillips, of Lenoir.
