A PRErTILY written letter bearing the
Cheyenne postmark reached this Office
last evening. 1t was directed to the
editor of THE LEADER and read in part
as follows; Il hope you will be kind
enough to publish the following few lines
and answer my Question. | belong TO
the army and am proud to be a soldier in
that land of the brave for a couple Of en-
listments already. l write this to let You
know xhat kind of Soldiers the United
States got First look at my writing.
This request is followed by a paragraph
which contains a liberal number ofphrhses
such as "parley francois - 'contre vous.
and "Cest un language leads TO the be-
lief that the gentleman intended to make
a contribution to French literature
The succeeding paragraph contains
some such statement as this
TX ben geboren in het Koningryt der
Nederlanden, from which we imagine
the accomplished soldier to be making a
wild break at Teutonic nomenclature.
The third paragraph in the commune
cation completely floored the polyglot
paragapher of this institution. The mere
sight of the sentences gives one a sick
headache. The first word looks some
thing like "Zobjacczdczik'' and the rest
are equally lurid, with the addition Of all
sorts accents, producing altogether a mo
sale and conglomerate combination of
characters, such as is seldom evolved from
u human mind outside of a nightmare.
Following this eliminating effort, the
erudite warrior drops into English again
to this effect: Now | let you know my
knowledge of arithmetique, algebra and
mathematique. | want to get very short
with it" 2
Then follows something which is UNI
doubleday a mathematical and algebraic
problem. 1t is apparently very abstruse
for it covers the whole side of a closely
written sheet Of paper. The problem is
brought to an entertaining close without
any apparent effort ON the parto OF the CORY
veteran, although its solution would no
doubt have turned old Euclid's head gray
with mental agony.
Furthermore" continues the CORE
spondent with charming ~frankness, Il
am acquainted with geography. history,
etc"
The object of this display Of knowledge
is made apparent in the closing paragraph
where he introduces the conundrum In
tended for the edit"s -%olution. He says:
Now l will ask yoa ne Question am
l ft after IS years ice to be lance
Corporal or a general.
We emphatically think he is.

The Alps constitute n vast machine, which

falls on the Alps thirty-three feet of snow,
most OF it falling between the ATTITUDES
1000 and 5000. This snow, light, opaque

bury them three-ifths of a mile deep in the
course of a century, Is continually pressed
down, formed into glacial ice. showed
through the valleys, melted into river and
distributed 10 the four quarters of Europe
by the machinery of the Alps. A cubic yard
OF snow weighs 1877 pounds; when snow Is
thawed and sinks into the glacial form, a
cubic yard weighs nearly half a ton. When
it becomes solid ice u cubic yard weighs
nearly n ton. From the surface to the bot
tom Of a glacier are TO be. observed all these
gradations OF snow, the light and opaque at
top, the solid at bottom.
Some Of these glaciers are over LOCO feet
deep. Tn water which melts from them il
estimated as equal to a height OF ten feet In
a year. Their movement is generally down
ward, but occasionally they appear to shrink
back and upward, only 10 renew their down
ward course at a subsequent period. In this
way they advance slowly from the heights to
the outlets Of the valleys. sometimes as low
down rs 3 900 feet Of altitude; this snail-like
journey often requiring more than a century.
A ladder which Saussure left in 17S8 at the
foot Of the Aquille Noir, when he nscended
Mount Blanc, was found In 1852 at a distance
Of 4,757 yards below, n descent Of eleven
inches a day. A knnpsnck which fell into a
crevasse Of the glacier Talefre and was after
wards found below, travelled at the rate OF
fourteen inches a day. In 1890 a guide fell
into Ike first crevasse that opened Mt the foot
Of Mount Blanc; in 1865, his body, recovered
below, wa found TO have Travelled at the
rate OF eighteen inches n day. In 1860, the
body Of a mountaineer, clad In the fashion OF
some former age, was delivered up at the
foot Of the AhrenthRl glacier in Austria
Tyndall found that the Mer de Glace trav-
eled at the rate OF thirteen inches a day In
winter aud twenty-four inches in summer;
Agassiz discovered hat the center OF the
glacial stream moved faster than the sides;

Joaquin M1ller's New York Letter.l
Not long ago, as / returned to this great
red-hot city OF brown-stoaes and brick, !
came up town In an omnibus. 1t Is true that
this city, during my half years absence, in
troduced the yellow-bollied cab, but at the
landing the same old ferocious hnckmen laid
hold on me and demanded the same old
tribute, without any abatement either In de-
mnnds or bad And so / took a
cross-town car, and then an omnibus, and
reached home at a cost OF 10 cents, instead Of
az, Wei, during the two mile rid l discov-
cred the hiding and abiding place OF the i'm
poverishad New Yorker. l had hardly been
seated when great, brown, and hairy hand
grasped mine, and | saw sitting before me,
and behind a splendid growth Of black and
curly beard, Fred W. He was the picture
OF health and mental force; never, perhaps,
with all his thousands, which melted away
in the great dry-rot Of Wall street, was he so
entirely happy and healthy. 1t did me good
to feel his strong grip and hear him laugh
like a giant as he threw Jack his head and
talked Of old times, when he was the hero of
the clubs and drove a span of very feet black
horses up and down the avenue. And, look
ing into bis handsome face, | finally saw,
hall hidden In his curly beard, a bit Of straw
OF hayseed. at length picked It out, with
al apology for the familiarity. Then again
he threw back his head and roared like a
great big sohool-boy just let loose from his
books.
"Yes, that's part of the hay crop" he
laughed. you see, I've got tired OF going 10
Europe or Saratoga and Newport every year,
and 50 l thought I'd go out this year and
help my honest old governor get In the hay.
Oh, yes, I've got a father and mother and all
that sort Of thing, you know, out in tho coun-
try; 50 has Ben D., jim H, and a
whole lot more Of our set" l looked at him,
and through him as through an open win
dow, us he chuckled quietly at the thought
Of the splendid rich fellows Of the year be-
fore who were hiding away on the farms of
their fathers, their uncles, their cousins, and
their aunta, making hay, hiving bees, and
and taking an interest in the probable weight
Of fall pigs.
Truly these New Workers are adaptive fell
lows; brave and accomplishing under most
adverse fortunes.

These pianos have established their
excellence in every community where they
have been introduced, and the most emf
nent performers have given them the most
unqualified approval. Their appreeia-
tion, however, is not confined to the class
known as professional artists, but they
are as highly priced in the parlor as in
the school room or upon the stage. The
fact is, they are as perfect as any instru-
ments Of the kind that have yet been
made, and possess many qualities which
strike the critical ear as superior to all
Other pianos. This Is the whole secret Of
their great popularity and the high appre-
citation IN which they are held by both
amateurs and professional.
