Discovery of Glaciers on the Pacific
Coast

At the regular meeting Of the COnnccti-
cut Academy in New Haven, on Wednes-
day evening last, an informal but highly
important communication was made by Mr.
/ Clarence King concerning some recent dis
coveries upon the famous peaks Of the Pa
/ cifc coast, Mount Shasta, Mount Rainier
and Mount Hood 1t would be hardly
fair, without his authority, to attempt to
/ give a minute account Of these observa-
tions, but there can be no impropriety in
reporting that during the last autumn Mr..
King and his associates, in three parties,
discovered the existence of active glaciers
where they have never before been no
/ ticed, on the northern slopes Of Mount
Shasta in California, as well as on Mount
Rainier in Washington, and Mount Hood
in Oregon. Another season he hopes to
pursue these inquiries even as far north as
Mount St. Elias.
! This is the first instance in which, with
in all the territory of the United States
| ALASKA of course, excepted,) live ga-
ciers have been found, though in the East,
as well as in the West, there are so many
indications of glacial action in former ge-
illogical epochs. The glaciers now de-
tected, on Mount Shasta, at least, have
hitherto escaped the notice of those who
have climbed the peak because their ascent
has been made upon the southern slope.
Mr.. King by his geological researches in
the West, had been led to suspect the ex-
istence of active glaciers, and as part of
the work Of exploration which he is doing
for the United States government, under
Major General Humphreys, chief of the
Engineer Corps, he planned last summer,
a glacier searching party, organized his
company, made the ascents on the north
ern instead Of the southern slopes, and has
been rewarded by the brilliant discoveries
now recorded He himself went up Mt.
Shasta with Mr.. Clark, while Mr.. Emmons
and Mr.. Wilson were exploring Mount
Rainier, and Mr.. Hague went up Mount
Hood.
These gentlemen are all members of the
government party organized for the survey
of the fortieth parallel, and are now in
New Haven working up the results of their
abors in the field. Mr.. James T. Gard
ner, next to Mr.. King in the conduct of
the survey, has been for many months past
at work in the preparation of the topo-
graphical map for publication. The re-
port of this expedition on the mining in
dustry in Nevada and Colorado, by Mr..
James D. Hague, mining engineer, is near
ly ready to be published.
Mr.. Kings career is good illustration
of the value of the new education as it is
sometimes slightingly called, or as we pre-
fer to say of the value of good training in
modern science. He is young, enthusi-
astic, and inquisitive student who was
graduated few years ago from the Shelf
field Scientific School at Yale College.
Here he had not only laid good foundations
in several branches of science, but he re-

from the land. We have for breakfast
this morning some Of the brown albatross

not want for meat, as there is an abun-
dance Of fish, seal and turtle, so that we
have no fear of starving, although the
flour, rice and bread will last but about
two and a half months more

The last time lever saw Anthony Sherman
was on the 4th Of July, IN 1919, in Inde-
pendence Square. He was then ninety-one
and becoming very feeble; but though so
old, his dimming eyes re-kindled as he looked
at independence Hall, which he said he had
come to gaze upon once more before he was
gathered home.
. What time is it ?'' said he, raising his
trembling eyes to the clock in the steeple
and endeavoring to shade the former with a
trembling hand. q What time is it |

in Washington's life-one which no one
alive knows of except myself, and if you live
you will before long see it verified. Mark
me, l am not supersttious, but you will see
it verified
Reaching the visitors rooms, in which
the sacred relics of our early days are pre-
served, we sat down upon one of the old
fashioned wooden benches, and my venerable
friend related to me the following narrative
which from the popularity of our national
affairs at the present time, have been in
duced to give to the world. | give it as
nearly as possible in his own words
- When the bold action of our Congress
in asserting the independence of the colonies,
became known in the world, we were laughed
at and scoffed atas silly, presumptous rebels,
whom the British grenadiers would tame
into submission but undauntedly, we pre-
pared to make good what we said. The
keen encounter came, and the world knows
the result. 1t is easy and pleasant for those
of the present generation to talk and write
of the days of '76, but they little know
neither can they imagine the trials and
sufferings of those fearful days. And there
is one thing 1 much fear /; and that is, that
the American people do not properly appre-
ciate the boon of freedom. Party spirit is
becoming stronger, and unless it is checked,
will at no distant day undermine and tumble
into ruin the noble spirit of the Republic
But let me hasten to my narrative.
From the opening of the Revolution, we
experienced all phases of fortune-now good
and now i'll at one time victorious, at an
other conquered. The darkest period we
had, however, was, think, when Washing
ton, after several reverses retreated to Valley
Forge where he resolved to pass the winter

coursing down our dear old commanders

ceived bent toward geological investiga'
ton, and a conception Of the right meth
ods of research, which led him as soon as
his college diploma was won to push out
to California. Through Professor Brewer
one of the earliest graduates of the Shelf.
field School, and one of the most success
ful scientific mountaineers and botanists
in the country, Mr.. King became a vol
unteer assistant under Professor j. ID.
Whitney on the geological survey of Cali
fornia, with which Mr.. Brewer was con-
nected as botanist. While in this service
he had the energy to climb to higher
point in the Sierra Nevada than had been
reached by any one else, to discover peak
which is still regarded by the knowing ones
as the loftiest point yet determined in the
limits of the United States. This point is
known as Mount Whitney. Since his con-
nection with the California survey termin-
ated he has been in the service of the IT,
S. government in the survey already re-
ferred to Of the fortieth parallel, that is to
say of the region adjacent to the Union
and Central Pacific railroads.
Mr.. Gardner, his friend and associate in
these works, kindred spirit and an admi-
rable worker, received part of his train
ing in the Rensselaer, School at Troy and
part In New Haven, and among their
scientific comrades are several more who
have been fitted in New Haven and else
where for the work of scientific explorers.
and for the careful examination of the
actual and possible characteristics of that
vast western region over which our coun-
trymen are 50 rapidly spreading.

A SNUFF TAKER POISONED. An Eng
lish gentleman lately went home from In
dia for medical advice. He had been
gradually losing the use Of his upper ex-
tremities and his physicians attributed
it to his use of snuff. But the snuff was
the best of brown rappee, imported from a
popular London tobacconist, and the pa
tient, therefore, doubted the correctness of
his India medical attendants opinion, and
sought other advice. His London physi-
clan suspected that it was the effect of some
poisonous agent mixed with the tobacco ;;
and finding that the snuff was exported in
leaden cases, to keep it moist, he took
measures to ascertain whether the lead was
not the mischieyous agent in the case. Six
separate parcels were ordered from India,
and samples from each carefully examined;
when it was discovered that lead was init
mately combined with every parcel of
the snuff, and that where the moist snuff
adhered to the sides of the leaden jars,
spots of carbonate of lead were formed, as
was conjectured, by the carbonic acid lib
Grated by the fermentation of the moist
snuff in the jar.
The inference is very obvious, that if
snuff can be thus poisoned by leaden jars,
any other article of consumption which is
at all moist, or liable to become so, may
be in like manner poisoned and that the
use of leaden jars or boxes, for such pur-
poses, should be entirely abandoned

JOKE on HUDSON River RAILROAD
/ CoNDUCToR.-0ne day last week well
known amateur ventriloquist was passen-
ger on board a Hudson River railroad car,
which was in charge of conductor Fales
As the train proceeded the ventriloquist
began the imitation of a rooster in a sort of
chuck-et-et-taw style. 4 couple of rep
etitions brought the conductor into the car
in hurry, followed by the brakeman,
who insisted that the rooster be taken
into the baggage car, where he belonged.
Of course none of the passengers had a
rooster with which to accommodate the
jealous officers. The conductor and
brakeman then waxed wroth and vowed
they would find that rooster any way.
They walked up the aisle, carefully glanc-
ing at the feet of each passenger for the
basket or parcel in which the rooster was
roosting In the middle of the car they
found woman with a big basket in her
possession. oh here is the game (rooster,)
said the conductor. Jes so, says the
brakeman, let's pull him out The
ventriloquist sat quietly opposite and threw
his voice apparently into the basket, Its
here sure said the conductor, with sig
nifcant glance at the brakeman and ad-
dressing the lady, he inquired blandly if
she had any objections to the removal Of
the basket and contents to the baggage
car. The old lady didn't understand the
joke at all, and thinking it against the
railroad rules to carry basket in the pas
senger car, permitted the conductor to take
it away. He had hardly started for the
Il IL
in the rear of the car. This was too
much for conductor F., who suddenly COM
pretended the joke and quickly returning
the old lady's basket pointed for the near
est door as if on an important and press
ing mission. The passengers set up loud
laugh as he disappeared, and the employees
of the road have taken up the rooster sto-
ry at occasional intervals, to the expressed
and disgust of the Yigilant car

says he saw standing gupon the threshold of
his door the form of an Indian chief,
dressed in white, and wearing a costume
