When an Iceberg is launched upon Its long Journey its bottom parts are barnacled with sand, bowlders and other detritus gathered from the land surface over which It has made its tedious march to the sea. This bur den It gradually castB off as it melts while drifting down along our conti nental seaboard. As a result of the deposits thus made through count less centuries, combined with the product of erosion carried seaward by the rivers, the seabed for many miles oft shore has been gradually filled up, creating those vast, sub merged plateaus, known as "banks," which extend from Labrador to the Bay of Fundy and form the breeding grounds of innumerable shoals of cod, herring, and other valuable food fishes. In this way the bergs have performed an economic service of In calculable value, laying the founda tion for one of the world's most im portant productive industries, and af fording a means of livelihood to those hardy bands of "captains courageous" who each year reap the harvests of the sea. The bergs serve a further economic purpose in that to their tempering influence are largely due the climatic conditions prevailing over a great part of the Interior of North America. The World To-Day. Find New Cave. Two gold prospectors recently dis covered in the Santa Susanna Moun tains, about fifty miles from lxa An geles, Cal., the largest and most re markable cave in Western America. While looking for Indications of gold they found an opening which they en tered. The opening led to a great cavern, consisting of many passages, some- of them wide, but most of thera narrow and lofty. The passages lead into great halls, some an acre In extent, studded with stalagmites and stalactites In some cases so thickly that it is difficult to get through. The walls of one of these halls are covered with rude drawings, some al most obliterated, but others - still clear. The drawings represent inct dents of the chase, showing Indians on foot pursuing bear, deer and otnr animals. 41 Shadows Seem to Sing.

It Is almost as hard for an old coffee toper to quit the use of coffte as It is for a whiskey or tobacco fiend to break off, except that tha coffee eer can quit coffee and take up Postum without any feeling ot a leas of the morning beverage,- for when Postum Is well boiled and served with cream, it is really better in point ot flavour than most of ths coffee aerved nowadays, and to the taste of the con noisseur it is like tha flavour ot fine mild Java. A great transformation takes place In the body within ten days or two weeks after coffee la left off and Postum nsed, for the reason that ths poison to the nerves caffeine has been discontinued and in its place is taken a liquid food that contains tha most powerful elements ot nourish scent. It is easy to make this test and prove these statements by changing from coffee to Postum. Read "The Road to Well vllle," in pltgs. "There's a Reason. mm 1 01 BRAVE GIRL UNDER TRAIN. With her lags almost severed by an Brie train at the Rutherford sta tion and her head and body terribly cut and bruised from being dragged along the ties, Miss Matilda Braascb, a stenographer in the New York office ot the WellB-Fargo Express, coolly directed every step in her re- jxnoval to the General Hospital in this fTlty, writes the PaBsalc (N. J.) cor respondent ot the New York Press. Then realizing she was near to death he had her relatives . and friends called to her .bedside and bade them goodby one by one. After she had been taksn to a cot from the operat ing table she made a will, and, con scious to the last moment, continued to talk to her mother until with a great sigh and a drooping ot the head the last spark of life fled the mangled body. It was Miss Draasch's birth day, and only yesterday her vacation of two weeks came to an end. The accident was deeply mourned In Rutherford. The girl was known to the majority of the commuters on the train which struck her, and all alighting were stricken with grief when they identified the victim, and pressed forward to offer assistance. Although her face was splashed with blood, Miss Braasch tried to smile, and whispered she was thankful she was permitted to live long enough ' take leave of the world. Miss Braasch lived with her mother and sister in Carlstadt and teok a train at Rutherford. She was a mo ment late In reaching the station at 8.30 o'c'ick this morning. The trala had Just got In motion when she ran through the waking room at the western door. The ticket agent caw her make a dash for the train, and shouted: "Don't attempt It, Mies Braassh. There'll be another local in a few minutes." Oh, I can get It," she replied. quickening her pace. There was a blind baggage on the rear ot the train, and this led to the tragedy. With a great effort she endeavored to run alongside tha rear platform cf the second last car. Two men were on th platform, and they reached down to assist her. She caught the handrail and attempted to Jumn to the step. But the was without strength for the feat, and before the men could seize her wrists she shot under the train and the front wheels of the baggage car passed over her legs. A projecting bolt in the bottom of the car caught her skirt, and she was dragged for several hundred feet. A dozen men approaching the sta tion saw the accident, and raced frantically after the train, waving and shouting for the engineer to stop. The men on the platform pulled tho emergency cord, but Miss . Braasch was terribly battered against the ends of the ties before tho train was brought to a standstill. Almost all the passengers were men, and many of them broke down In grief at sight of the woman, who bore up so bravely. The girl never lost her composure. When men bent over her to carry her to the waiting room she said : It can't be helped now. I am not afraid." She was laid on a bench, and found the position uncomfortable. At her direction empty mail bags were spread on the floor for her. She or dered that aa ambulance be sum moned from the hospital, and gavo the telephone number ot her physi cian and requested that he meet her In the hospital. She also asked that her sister be Informed by telephone, and warned that the news of the trag edy be kept from her moth-r. After wards she murmured she felt death was stealing on her, and expressed the wish her mother go to the hos pital to await her there. When the ambulance arrived Miss Braasch asked that she be shifted several times in a stretcher until she said she felt at ease. Then 6he asked for a drink of water. There was none in me station. "Then please stop at the first houce jn the road," shj said. "I'm sure they won i reiuse me a drink." The stop was made, and a woman. suppressing her emotion for the mo ment, held a glassful of water to the girls lips. "There, now, I feel to much better," said Miss Braasch, "and thank you very much." From tue ambulance she was carried dlrec to the operating table. She asked the pnycicians u they were sure she would come from under the Influ ence of the ether. "Are Ton sure now?" she nersisted. 'Because if you are not I want to talk to mother and sister first." She forced a smile when after the amputa tion she revived In a cot "So the doctors were right," she said; "I dhd live through It." The physicians an! nurses went quietly out of the room. and for ten minutes the door was shut on the dying daughter and ho mother. Then the door was softly opened and Miss Braasch's sister crept in. An attempt was made to cheer the girl with hope of recovery, but she gently chlded the well-wishers, who at heart shared her own conviction "Please don't attempt that," she aid. "I do grieve to leave all be hind, but I never thought before It was really beautiful to die." Her mother was kneeling at the bedside, and she put a hand on ler head. "It is beautiful, mother," she said. "because I've always tried to JUBt what was right, and that's my conso lation row. May It be yours." A few moments before her death the girl Bpoke In a low and distinct voice to her mother. The doctors said the loss ot blood was so great she was without strength to rally from the shock of the loss ot both limbs. GIRL SAVES THREE BOYS. Ot several heroic rescues which were recorded In this State, together with a double drowning, the most thrilling was the bravery of Miss Lillian Vizay, ten years old, daughter of the dancing instructor at West Point, who aided In saving three boys In Okauchee Lake, writes the Milwau kee (Wis.) correspondent ot the New York Press. Her quickness, endur ance and courage aroused the admira tion ot expert swimmers, who say that she did more than they would dare attempt. Another woman res cued two persons from drowning In Lake Geneva. Miss Vlzay had with her W. J. Ztmmer, a lawyer, who helped her In her daring work. Both were swim mlng near shore when they heard cries ot "Help!" of three young Chi cago boys who had tried to swim out to a sand bar seventy yard,: from shore. Miss Vlzay, who has bean able to swim for several years and who Is a remarkably expert swimmer, started toward the three boys. Zlm- mer, who did not discern so quickly the danger of the boys, followed her. It 8e3tns that as the youngsters were making for the sand bar one became exhausted, and, clutching at his nearest comrade, shouted: "Helpl I am drowning." The second youth grabbed the third boy and in a few seconds the three boys were floun dering helplessly In the water, their heads bobbing up and yells for help, frantic at first, becoming fainter. One of the boys had sunk three times, but Miss Vlzay dived after him, and, catching him by the back of the neck, hauled him quickly to the sur face of the water. She swam In front ot the other two boys, shouting to them to grab their comrade and "hold on." Zimmer was at her side and the two towed the three exhausted boys ashore like a string of fish. Mrs. Mae Talbot, of Evanston, 111., who was formerly with Maude Adams' company, made two rescues at Lake Geneva. She was enjoying a plunge In the lake when she heard cries from Emll Larson, fifty-five years old, who had got out beyond his depth and was drowning. A boy made an effort to rescue Larson, but was pulled under the water. Mrs. Talbot swam to the rescue and with deftness seized the two persons In such a manner that in their frantic struggles they could not pull her un derneath the water. She brought them safely to shore. In the after noon she bsw a little girl named Lil lian Rose drowning and she swam to her assistance. Despite her bravery Mrs. Talbot was modest. The double drowning occurred oh the Chlppeway River at Glldden Seven girls, including Emma Weden horst and Ella JanBen, went wading. They struck a bed of quicksand and six of them were caught. The eldest girl, who had seen such beds before, managed to escape, nnd by desperate efforts she brought four of the girls out safe, after having worked thorn free of the sands by keeping herself afloat. The bodies of the two girls named were recovered within five minutes, but it was too late to resus citate them. A STRENUOUS STATESMAN. In his "Eclipse and O'Reilly" Theo dore Andrea Cook tells a story of the English statesman and sport Fox. He had wagered something about a waistcoat which -could only be ob tained In Paris; went off to Dover by night, caught the mail-packet, posted to Paris and back to" Calais, and re membered he had a horse racing at Newmarket. He chartered a fishing boat bound for the Eastern Counties, just got to Newmarket In time for the race, took the post back to London anl stopped on the way to dine. In the middle ot the port and dice after dinner be was caught by a spe cial messenger who had been tearing over bait England In search of him and reminded that he had to move to bring In a marriage bill In the House ot Commocs. He rushed to the sta bles, reached the House In time to make a brilliant speech In reply to North and Burke, and defeated North on a division by a single vote. . , KILLS BEAR WITH PENKNIFE. Jay Bunch, ot this city, had an ex perience last week that bids fair to rival Roosevelt's coyote yarn. Bunca is a filer at Larkln Bros.' logging camp on the Wlshkah, and one day last week with a friend and several dogs started out to find a bee tree. They had not gone far when th dogs started up a bear. - Bruin took refuge in the top ot a tree, bat u finally dislodged, and one of the dogs managed to get a good hold on the animal's etr and hung there. Bunch had no other weapon than a jack knife, but he got it in Working ordar and commenced the hand-to-hand bat tle. He struck the bear about forty times, finally severing his jugular vein, and Bruin, weak from loss ol blood, gave np the fight. The bear's hide is literally punctured with holes around the throat. The animal weighed about 800 pounds. Aber deen (Wash.) Correspondence ol Seattle Times. LOST PAPERS FOUND. Valuable Original Documents Relat. Ing to Spanish Rule In Louisiana.

Brains of plaut life are the tendrils. Sensitive plants retract their leaflets when people approach, as If they re sented further Intimacy. All vines which develop climbing organs called tendrils will reach out toward us If we place our hands in contact with them, and will even uso n finger as a support to climb on. These tendrils will wind just as readily around a twig or grass stem. Tendrils are capable ot exhibiting faculties and going through evolutions more won derful than perhaps Is realized. With tholr sensitive tips they test the ob jects they come in contact with, ap parently considering their suitability as a support, and then accepting or rejnctlng them as the case may be. Tho thoroughness with which these tips do their work Is Illustrated by an Instance with a grape vine. A cherry branch whose leaves had been varf ously punctured and scalloped by In sects hung near the tendril and a par ticular leaf had just one hole In Its blade, not over three-sixteenths of an inch In diametor. So careful had been the exploration of the leaf's surface .that thin one small hole had been (Uncovered by the tendril, which had thrust itself nearly three Inches through the opening. Chicago Tri bune. The Origin of Gloves, It Is not known when gloves were first invented, but they are very anc ient. The flr3t clear account of them comes from Xenophon, where the writer speaks of the Persians wearing thera to protect their hands from cold. Homer describes Laer tes working In his garden with gloves to protect his hands from thorns, and Varro mentions tho wearing of gloves by the Romans'. Gloves have long had a symbolic meaning. In the eleventh century came tho custom of throwing down a glove as a chal lenge, and gloves were early used In church rites. They were not worn by vomen until aftar the Reforma tion.. In preparing the leather for gloves it had to be "fulled" with a peculiar kind of clay to lend it soft ness and flexibility, and this was a trade the secret of which was guard ed for many years. Tho men who knew this . trade were called fullers, and thus the proper name of Fuller came into existence.
