The Alaska Glaciers.

A writer in the San Francisco Bulletin
is enthusiastic over the great glaciers
near Fort Wrangel, Alaska. Standing
at the mouth of the ford, he says, the
water foreground is of pale, milky
blue color, from the suspended rock-mud
issuing from beneath the grinding glaci-
er-one smooth sheet sweeping back
five or six miles, like one of the lower
reaches of a great river. At the head
the water is bounded by a barrier wall
of bluish-white ice, from 500 to 600 feet
high, a few mountain tops crowned with
snow appearing beyond it. On either
hand stretched a series of majestic
granite rocks from 5000 to 1000 feet
high, in some places bare, in others forest
ed, ,and all well patched with yellow-green
chaparral and flowery gardens, especial
ly about halfway up from top to bottom,
and the whole built together in Yose-
mite Valley, extending far beyond the
ce-barrier, one immense brow appear
ing beyond the other, while their bases
are buried in the glacier. This is, in
fact, Yosemite Valley in process of
formation, the modelling and sculpture
of the walls nearly completed and well
planted, but no groves as yet or gardens,
or meadows, on the raw and unfinished
bottom. The whole front and brow of
this majestic glacier are gashed and
sculptured into maze of yawning
chasms and crevasses, and a bewildering
variety of strange architectural forms,
appalling to the strongest nerves, but
novel and beautiful beyond measure
clusters of glittering lance-tipped spires,
gables, and obelisEs, bold outstanding
bastions and plain mural cliffs, adorned
along the top with fretted cOrnice and
battlement, while every gorge and crew
asse, chasm and hollow, was filled with
light. Along the sides we could see the
mighty flood grinding against the gran
ite with tremendous pressure, rounding
the outswelling bosses, deepening and
smoothing the retreating hOllOwS, and
shaping every portion of the mountain
walls into the forms they were meant to
have, when in the fullness of appointed
time the ice-tool should be lifted and set
aside by the sun. Back two or three
miles from the front the current is now
probably about 1,200 feet deep; but
when we examine the walls, the grOoved
and rounded features, so surely glacial,
show that in the earlier days Of the ice
age they were all over-swept, this glacier
having flowed at height of from three
to four thousand feet above its present
level.

BLIGHT IN APPLE TREES. The IOW0
College Quarterly describes the great
destruction of nursery and orchard ap-
pie trees in that State from blight. In
the western part of the State, two-year-
old nursery trees are reported appear
ing as if fire had run through them, and
many of the trees dead, root and branch.
An unpleasant odor was waited from
them on the wind. A strong rank
growth seemed often to favor the prey
alence of the disease, but not always.
In New York, says the Country Gentle
man, we have seen the most "apple
tree blight " in those seasons when the
pear blight was most destructive
1t was particularly hard on the shoots of
newly set gratis, which were inserted
to secure new or rare sorts.

SlOlt. In u recent GAplDLulJOH VI
Nightingale |. nd, under the direction
of Wvyille y tmson, the prodigiouS
numbers and range habits of these
birds excited rcial observation and in
terest. They hd millions of nests un-
der the long 8 iss, and kept the ground
constantly we, la strong smell of am
monia also pr eeding from it. 1t was
impossible to -lsS slngle yard along
the grass wit, )ut crushing the young
birds or nestSAwhile the old pengulnS
all around ade the most fright
full din, and 'lgged the leg of the
traveller, their bng, sharp beaks draw
ing blood at every stroke. Ihey are
perfectly tam i'm the first place, be-
cause they die not know any reason for
fear from proximity to man; and sec
ondly, becaule they have really no
means of escabe; they stand from one
and one-half I'd two and One-half feet in
heioht. and their nests are little flat
clay erections, about two inches high,
the bird LAYING one and sometimes two
eggs, to hatch (which she sits upright on
the nest; acres are sometimes thus coy-
cred by them, and again, as many as a
thousand of them will be seen deliber-
ately walking to the sea. On getting in
to the water, tney act just as if they
were fishes; {he gray groove in their
backs is occasionally seen above the
surface, but il is scarcely possible to
imagine them tb be birds. Having ished
for a short time, they return to their
nests by a regular path; the whole is
carried out by most orderly system
the birds going to sea by one path and
returning by another. Sometimes they
will stand and have a talk for while, a
regular chattering going on among
them; then, all Of sudden they will
stand at attention and each one Of the
great multitude proceed to its own par
ticular nest.
OF a very different class is the world
famous "bird of paradise" great
focks of which are found in some Of the
islands of the Southern seas, and the
hunting of which, in certain neighbOr-
hoods, constitutes aprincipal occupation
of some of the inhabitants. Even by
these semi-savage tribes, this bird is
much admired for its exquisite appear
ance, having, as it does, most mag
nifcent plume of feathers, of delicate
yellow color, coming up from under the
wings and falling over the back like a
jet of water, the breast showinga a beau
tiful emerald green, and the body a
charming yellow, They are about the
size of a small pigeon, and have voice
not very unlike the jackdaw; they are
restless, peculiar birds, flying about the
branches of great trees, and are con-
stantly chattering, but, being much
hunted, they are extremely wary, and
are with difficulty shot. In order to get
them, the natives 90 up into the boughs
of tree which the birds are known to
frequent, and, collecting number of
the branches, conceal themselves so as
scarcely to be seen, then, when flock
comes, they pick off the birds with
blunt-headed arrows, the latter being Of
course, quite noiteless; the bird is SIM
ply paralyzed and falls, and in this way
the natives sometimes get large num-
