Groaning, roaring:, thundering:, Mt. j Shasta’s glaciers is wrenching itself | loose from the great volcano's flank : Preciptitating itself downward, car | ried by its own weight and by the rushing streams of its own melted ice, it is Wiping out all that stands in jits eourtle. Within a circumference of ! a hundred miles can be heard the ! sounds of boulders hurtling down and giant trees protesting as they drop. ' Its awe-inspiring descent is veiled in a cloud of mist. According to the last word received from Yreka the glacier had driven its way well below the tree line since it broke loose from its I moorings onthe morning of Septem j tier 1 1. “Unusual weather conditions, u hot i : ummer and a long drought arc the causes of the extraordinary rapid movement of the great glacier,” is the opinion of T*r. Charles P. Berk ley, professor of geology at Colum bia. “Throughout tlr* summer reports have been current of increasingly large rmid streams which have been LfjqWinfe,,lrom the melting spetfv ! ice. “It is not uncommon that a glacier should move,” said the scientist, “hut it is uncommon that it should descend with such rapidity. It is traveling at the rate of five miles an hour. Shas ta's lofty peak rise. 14,350 feet above ■he level of the sea, and its longest slope is 10 miles. Assuming that the body of ice is a mile and a half long, it would have reached the plains in about three hours. Even if it moved five feet an hour, it would be travel ing at a) tremendous speed for a gla cier. That would be sufficiently terri fying. Nothing can withstand the im ,.;>ast of such a tremendous frozen mass. I can well understand that it creates a great volume of sound as it grinds its way over its rocky bed, sweeping all before it. The cloud of vapor that accompanies it on its jour ney is caused by congealing of the air which surrounds it. “Observation has proved that all glaciers have a flow varying with con ditions and seasons, though it is prob able that in every glacier there is under ordinary circumstances Some portion which is stagtipt. It was not until within comparatively recent times that a method was found to measure glacial motion. In this coun try it was Professor Agassiz who first used stakes to determine the rate of speed with which they preceded on their course. By placing the stakes at right angles to the direction in which the ice body is movin gthe displace ment can easily be observed, measure ments being made by means of survey ing instruments,” Usually Move Two Inches a Day. Comparing the report of the rapid descent of Shasta’s glacier with ac counts given by Terr and Martin of one of Alaska’s glaciers in .fitly of 190ft, Dr. Berkley noted that their ad vance hail ranged between one and a half and two and a half inches a day —scarcely perceptible to the human eye. “A glacier may be d< fined as an ice body formed by the amassing and con solidation of ..now in regions where its fall is greater than its opportunity to melt,” continued the professor. “There are three types of glaciers—the con tinental, the piedmont and the alpine. I is to the latter group that the ice fields of Shasta’s sides belong. They lie in so-called amphitheatres, a great rocky basin formed and overshadow ed by lofty peaks, and make theii way down the slopes in streams, re taining this solid form until the tem perature causes them to melt in icy torrents. “'Ice is plastic and changes its shape when it is subjected to pressure, so as it shifts and moves it adapts itself to the form of its bed. Furthermore, glaciers flow under the force of their own weight. The extreme rapidity with which the Shasta ice is moving can be explained only by the fact that the unbroken heat of the sun has caused it to melt in great streams which have loosened it from its hold ings and h.Tve caused it to descend, carried by the impetus of its own bulk. “If it had not been for a similar glacier movement which took place— on a much more gigantic scale—some 25,000 years ago, there would have been no Wall Street and no lower Broadway.” Dr. Berkley remarked. “The immense sheets of ice that wrapped the country in their chill em brace were pushed forward by the snows of the north and brought with them accumulations of mud and earthy which they deposited on what is now lower Manhattan.” Peter Skene Ogden first discovered Mount Shasta in 1820. Prior to that time no report existed proving that it was seen by a white man—thirty-four years before Vancouver had discovered Mount Hood, St. Helens, Baker and Rainier and 85 years before the first | explorers set foot on Mount Elias. It was not until 1852 that Shasta was climbed. Captain Henry Price was the first to reach its summit and there planted the American flag. Surveyor Wrote of Glacier. Other mountaineers followed but of real scientific vulue there is no ac count until that of Josiah Whitney, of the geological survey of California, who made the ascent in 1862. The larg eat of Shasta’s glaciers carries his name: Clarence King, who followed Whitney in 1870, climbed its ice fields in company with several members of the United States geological explora tion of the 10th parallel. Ue had the distinction of being the first to spend the night on the wind-swept flanks of the giant mountain. From the pen of [Gilbert Thompson, who in 1882 made a topographical survey of that region, we huve a fine description of the glac iers as they were that year. “The glaciers about the ’summit of Mount Shasta do not exist under the protection of sheltering cliffs or in the depths of canyons, but occur on the flanks of the mountains and are exposed for three-fourths of the day to the full power of the sun. The streams that have their origin in the melting of the snow appear suddenly at tile foot of the mountain as rush ing currents loaded with silt; these subside during the latter part of the night and leave pools of clear water which also gradually disappear. The water again reaches the surface in unexpected places many miles distant as immense springs. The stream channels are thus flooded once a day during the summer; and after the first snow, which occurs about the first of October, no, more water descends frotn the snow fields. "Besides a few snowbanks that last throughout the year and a few smaller glaciers in the shadow of pro tecting cliffs, there are five ice streams which specially invite atten tion. Besides those Whitney glacier, they have been designated by the fol lowing names Komvokiton (mud gla cier), Winton (Indian tribal name), Hotium (steeprock) and Bulam (great)." At the time of this writing the area of the glaciers ranged from Konwak itoil's 320,000 square yards to Hot luin’s 3.200,000. The terminal mo raines descend to altitudes that vari ed from 8,000 to 12,000 feet. Shasta’s Dramatic f’areer. The rampage on which . Shasta’s [glacier has broken loose is but a small episode in the mountain's dramatic career. In what is termed the Eocene period it came into being as a volcano. The towering pyramid of stone and earth that stands solitary, rising from an almost level plain, was built by a succession of eruptions of ashes and lava. No sudden, springing into being this. The volcano’s titanic efforts would lie followed by long periods of rest, and then, renewing its strength, it would add new layers -of strata to its increasing heights. At last the fire mountain was conquered by the cold that hurled itself down from the north its burning fires were smothered un der a heavy mantle of snow, which brought the silence of perpetual win ter with it. Through endless centuries it lay dormant. Then the sun shone more warmly. Step by step the ice crawled up its steep sides, leaving be hind it a rich deposit of earth. Time marched on. A luxurious vegetation sprang front the soil and followed the retreating snow until it found a per manent abode. Shasta the volcano. Shasta the gla cier-covered, B not without its legends The Indians, from whose tribe it de rived its name, credited it with being the wigwam of the Great Spirit. “He created the mountain first of all,” so runs the tale as preserved by Joaquin Miller, “down from the skies he push ed the snow and ice, through a hole which he made by turning a stone round and round; then he stepped out cf the clouds on the mountain top and descended and planted trees all around by putting his finger on the ground. The sun melted the snow and the wa ter ran down and nurtured the trees and made rivers.” Then the first, the birds, the animals and "afterward, when the Great Spir it wished to remain on earth and to make the sea and some more land he converted Mount Shasta—by a great deal of labor—into a wigwam and built a fire in the center of it and made a pleasant home. Then his fam ily came down from the heavens and they all lived in the mountain ever after, before the white .man came fire could be seen ascending from the mountain by night and smoke by day”. The Great Spirit’s daughter, who care lessly allowed herself to be blown down the mountainside “many thou sand snows" ago, married the son of the bear-man who lived in the forest below and thus founded the Indian race.

The pilot, from instruments before him, would be able to tell when flying di rectly over the cable laid along the ground, and the device would auto matically correct the direction of the flight of an aeroplane which was off the set route. With the completion of such a scheme it would be possible to establish air routes as definite as tailroad lines. The question w hether or not. the | members of the North Carolina gener al assembly will receive $10 a (lay for their services while attending sessions ; or continue to receive $4 a day seem- j ingly rests on the question of whether ' or not errors have been made in re potting the unofficial vote ea\t at last] Tuesday's election. This will not be I definitely known until the state board! of elections meets here on Tuesday, November 25, and canvasses the re turns on State officers, the constitu tional amendments and referendum measures. With 221 out of the state's 1,7,20 precincts missing the vote stood M2,. 1J2 for the amendment to the state Constitution increasing the salaries and 96,307 against it. This gives a negative mapority of 3,196 with fif-J teen complete counties and parts of. three others missing. Most of the missing counties are j in the mountains of the western part of the state or in the eastern coastal region. All are comparatively small and rural. 1-he complete- counties nwsmf are, Alleghany. Ashe, Avery, Currituck, Graham, Harnett, Hyde, Nash. Pam lico, Stanly, Stokes, Swain, Tyrrell, Watauga and Yancey. The incomplete j counties are Camden, from which one j out of the three precincts had been re- , ported, and Greene, with one out of! ten reported. That many voters did not express j any sentiments regarding the amend ments and referendum measures is in- \ dicuted by the fact that in the 1,509 | precincts reported on the legislature pay amendment onl\ 189.419 votes i were cast, while in the 1,018 precincts i teported for President 289,3:10 persons Voted and in 947 for governor a total j of 251,130 votes were cast.— News and j Observer. Fashions and Politics Feature London Trial The fur coat and pearls belonging to Lady Terrington, former Liberal member of Parliament, were exhib ited in court Monday during the trial of her libel action against a London newspaper for the publication, during the 1923 campaign, of an interview which she asserted described her as a “Vain, fiivolous and extravagant wo man who is unfit to be a member of Parliament.” The trial was held before Lord Darling, a jurist famous for his hu mor, and thes pectators were treated, j in addition to a view of aristocratic weuring apparel, to a flow of badin age on the p^trtof judge and counsel— and even the former woman parlia ment member herself—in which the propriety of wearing fleshcolored hose tight skirts and other modern fash ion innovations in the staid old houses of parliament was discussed both se riously and lightly. Lady Terrington denied he had dis ' ussed what she would wear in the house with the interviewer who was lsuid to have quoted her as saying she would wi ar her best clothes, furs, pearls and ospreys when she attended the sessions. She admitted, however, that although she never wore or own ed osprevs. she had worn furs and pearls. Incidentally, she revealed that while on one occasion she wore two strings of pearls, one was an imita tion and the much discussed fur coat was five years old. Asked by counsel for the defense if it “has been one of your boasts that, although you now are a member of the aristocracy, your own beginning was fro nithe people.” she replied: “Cer tainly, we are all front the people.” An exhibition of her photograph showing her dressed as a mannequin brought,an explanation from Lady Terrington that she had appeared in this garb for charity. Upon this ex planation the judge remarked that “Charity covers a multitude of sins” and the opposing counsel interjected “And dispenses with lots of clothes.” I HOW TO HANDLE FRUIT TREES I FRESH FROM THE NURSERY j When received from the nursery, the trees should be unpacked immedi ately. Every possible' precaution should be taken to prevent the roots from becoming dry. Unless the trees can be planted at once, they should be heeled in in a well-draired place where the soil is mellow and deep. A trench sufficiently wide and deep to receive i the roots is made. Put the trees in the | trench at an angle of about 45 degrees 1 and cover the roots. In covering, the soil should be worked among the roots of the trees sufficiently to fill all the spaces among them. If a large number of trees is to be heeled in at the same j place, it will be convenient to place them i nclosely adjacent rows. When this is done, the trees in one row may be covered with the soil which is re moved in opening the next trench. Trees that are tied in bundles when received must be separated before be ing heeled in. If this is not done it is difficult to work the soil among the roots suxiciently to prevent them from drying to a serious extent.
