Hammer started for the glacier from
ClaushavnI in September, expecting to
make his base of observation in the little
inlet Kongerdlukasik, which in 1875 had
been passed and entirely shut off by the
glacier on its seward march. He reached
it after great hardships, only to find that
the glacier had receded up the ford SO far
that it could not even be seen from that
point. The mountain sides of the inlet
were too steep to climb, and in an attempt
to do SO the explorers were surprised by a
terrible snow.storm and had to spend the
night in ravine in imminent danger of
being frozen to death. After ascertaining
that the glacier since 1850 had moved back
fully four miles, they were compelled to
return to Jakobshavn to spend the long
Arctic night. 1t was only on January 18th
that half of the suns disk appeared above
the horizon again, and travel in dogsleds
became possible.

GLACIERS AND ICEBERGS.
RESEARCHES ON THE GREENLAND COAST
BY LIEU TENANT HAMME9.
Rate of Glacial Movement-Icebergs Of
Stupendous size-Curiostties OF the
Greenland Language.

An expedition sent out to Greenland by
the Danish Government in the fall OF 1879
to explore the great Jakobshavn glacier has
recently made an interesting report to the
Royal Commission for the exploration of
Greenland. Its chief purpose, to deter
mine the speed of the great glaciers pro-
gress toward the sea in the winter months,
was accomplished under exceptionally dis
couraging circumstances by R. Hammer,
Lieutenant in the Navy, who commanded
the expedition. Previous Investigations by
Rink in 1850, and by Holland in 1875, had
shown that the
JACoBSHAVN GLACIER
In the summer moved seward at the rate
of fully sixty feet in twenty-four hours,
while the Swiss glaciers travel only few
inches in that time. The discovery that
in the depth of the Arctic winter its speed
fell very little short of this was, however,
an unexpected conclusion the measure
ment made by Mr.. Hammer, nevertheless,
fully proves this. The Jakobshavn ice.

the point of observation, because the gla-

of coast land that is not covered with per-
petual ice is at Jakobshavn about twenty
miles wide. Beyond it the inland ice COW
ers hills and valleys and feeds the huge
glacier which packs the inner ford at all
seasons. The mouth of the ford in Disco
Bay is closed by q bar of mud, upon which
the larger icebergs ground as they break off
at the end of the glacier, choking up the
ford and preventing all communication be-
tween Jakobshavn land Claushavn, at the
south side of the ford, except by boat out
side the bar. When large icebergs from

SEVERAL ATTEMPTS

Were made to reach Kongerdlukasik, and
the trip to Umenak, a distance of 100 miles
over mountain ranges 1000 feet high, was
made in sled with one team of eight dogs
in three days and half, with the Their
mometer at 40 c., but the object was
not attained till the middle of March. The
glacier had pushed ahead and was again
visible from the inlet, but this was SO
closely packed with ice screwed up in all
sorts Of shapes that twenty.four hours
hard work only brought the party 400 feet
nearer the ice.fjord, and another way had
to be found. It was noted by measure
ments, as accurate as the distance would
permit, that in that night the end of the
glacier advanced perceptibly, though the
Thermometer showed 30 c. On March
2lst the main ice.fjord was at last reached,
and from that day until the end of April
numerous measurements were made from
both ends of fixed base to ascertain the
speed with which the glacier was moving.
As to get upon the moving mass was i'm.
possible, the tall peaks and blocks of ice
that projected from its uneven surface were
used as landmarks. Quite frequently these
would suddenly tumble down and disap-
pear, and the work would go for naught.

THE AVERAGE SPEED

OF point in the glacier l, 700 feet from
the edge OF the ford was 80 s feet in
twenty-four hours. Constant detonations,
sometimes like the firing OF heavy guns,
but more frequently like pistol shots, &C.
companied the movement of the glacier.
1t was faster on some days than on others,
and apparently without regard to time OF
day or night, or to the temperature of the
atmosphere. From the top of the adjacent
hills two lines could be observed running
lengthwise on the glacier, dividing it into
three nearly equal parts they marked the
lines of friction where the central part
moved independently of the TANKS. The
natural conclusion was that the latter drag
On the shore and on the rocky bottom and
that the resistance they meet with makes
them move more slowly and causes the
roughness on their top, while
THE CENTRAL PART OF THE GLACIER,
Floating on water, preserves its even sur.
face and moves along faster. The fact that
the middle of the glacier seemed to lie
higher than the rest supported this theory.
Floating free, the end Of the glacier is
buoyed up at last by the tidewater until it
breaks off in huge masses. These are the
icebergs the largest are from the solid
middle Of the glacier, which in spite of its
greatest speed always ends in concave
arch. The TANKS that drag on the rocks
are not exposed so much to the action of
the water and therefore "kalye" much
less frequently.
During the summer OF 1880 the expedi.
ton made geological researches and ey-
plored Waigatted and Disco Island, the
west coast Of which had never yet been
trodden by European. In several places
pure iron was found in the organic basalt.
Everywhere on the coast, even on the
highest mountain tops, abundant evidence
was found that the ice had once covered
all in a solid mass-

The glacier at this point was three miles
wide, and its end was perpendicular wall
200 feet above the ice surface Of the ford.
The roughness of its surface was greatest
nearer the sides toward the middle it dis
appeared entirely. Although the observa.
tions were made at time when the win
ter's frost was most severe and had lasted
long enough to penetrate as far into the
glacier as its effect might be felt, the
whole mass was found to be moving steaii.
ly ahead. Its velocity increased greatly
from the edges of the glacier toward its
middle. On account of the lack Of pro-
jecting points near the middle, the speed
OF that portion could not be as accurately
measured as that of the flank sections, but
was estimated to reach at least fifty feet in
twenty -four hours.

WAS TT WISELY DONE2

Al. the notes OF warning sounded by
the press failed to induce the legisla-
ture to halt IN its war on railroad pas
senger rates. The bill fixing maximum
fare at three cents per mile was hurried
through both houses and may be consid-
cred as a law unless the Governor has
the nerve to veto it. It is significant
fact that the roads made no opposition
whatever to this measure. There were
no railroad lobbyists on hand to protest
against the injustice OF he bill or en-
ploy devices to scotch its passage. To

dreaded by the railroad interests than

The Legislative energy has spent itself
now and the passage Of this bill will en-
compass any further efforts at "regula-
ton" of roads with decided difficulties
and complications. The reduction eff
fected would have come in due time
with competition. The roads retain
their privileges as to freight charges and
determinations. When these are at
tackled the tug of war will come and the
influence OF the lobby be felt. With
the power to make their own
/ freight rates the roads can stand
even d greater scaling Of passenger
rates. In one way or another what is
lost on passengers will be made up on
| freights. The hurried nature of the
first assault will create sympathy with
. the roads when the second attack is
made, and people who have been howl
ing for three cents a mile will be found
calling halt as to further encroach-
ments on privileges enjoyed. This is
human nature-it goes to extremes, as
saulting to-day and repenting to-mor-
row. Fortunately for the roads the as
sault was made Oh the very point about
which they were least interested. There

MRS. SCOVILLE AND GUITEAU.
Mrs. Scoville's last move in behalf of
her graceless brother was an interesting
one, however questionable its practical
bility. There is a statute Of Illinois
which provides that where any person
is an idiot, lunatic or distracted, or
wastes his estate, or has any estate, real
OF personal, the county court Of the
county III which he lives shall, on appi-
cation OF any relatives or creditor, etc,
order q jury to be summoned to try the
question, and, if found guilty, shall up
point q conservator Mrs. Scoville
based her application on this statute. In
her petition she said Guiteau filled the
bill exactly, and she prayed to have him
brought to Chicago, tried and herself
appointed as his conservator The move
was legal, measurably, but the Judge at
Chicago said he could not isue a war
rant for any one not resident of Him
ois. He however, promised further
consideration of the matter, which will
be had to-day. It is generally conceded,
though, that Guiteau's nOn-residence
bars proceedings. Indeed, Guiteau
himself was highly indignant at his sis
ter's solcitude, saying he is neither a
resident Of Chicago nor lunatic. 1t
was a woman's last earnest effort for a
doomed man, and illustrates the active
workings of her mind in his behalf
Though futile the endeavor was inter
