Wasting Away.

Isaac c. Sprague, the living skeleton
who is forty years old and has been re-
duced by atrophy to forty pounds
weight, said to your correspondent who
interviewed him recently at the Chica-
go Museum, IN regard to a rumor that
he had given his body, in the interest
OF science, to the Harvard Medical Col
lege: Eyes, the story is true, and all
the arrangements have just been COM
pleted. | have agreed that when l die
they shall have my body; they will first
cut 1t open and make a post mortem
examination to find out if possible, why
l am so thin; then they will put nv
body in alcohol and place it in the ma-
scum OF the college, where it will re-
mains but | am going to need it myself
Tor the present; they can't have it till
get through with it. My body will be
preserved in the museum there as that
OF Calvin Edison is in the Albany mu-
scum. Edison died at the age of forty
i've, weighing only forty-five pounds.
The doctors, when they cut him open,
found that his thinness was caused by
narrowing of the thoracic duct, a
trouble with which other members of
his family were affected. His face and
neck were emaciated like the rest of
his boey, but mine are not, so my thin
ness is probably due TO something else
The physicians pronounce it to be
case of extreme muscular atrophy. 1t
has been going on for thirty years,
while the longest other case on record
is that of a man who died after having
the complaint for ten years

Rocky Mountain Glacier.

Professor Candy, member of
Pumpelly's Northern Transcontinental
Survey party, gives the following ac-
count of glacier seen by the party and
a description of the country around the
Upper Marias Pass, between the head
waters of the FIathead River, west of
the Rocky Mountain range, and Cut
Bank Creek, east of the same. The To-
cality is about $50 miles north of the
Missoula. Professor Candy says that
on the 1st of August the party, after
having left the Upper Flathead River
(about 80 miles above the lake,, enter
ed the gorge that leads up the noun
tain to the pass. This is walled in by
steep mountains. which are crowned
by rugged precipices thousands of feet
in height, sometimes terminating in
knife-like edges and sometimes running
up into sharp, rugged cones, which
make the sky lines of the mountains
most varied and picturesque. At the
summit of the pass three main amphi-
theaters come together. They are
nearly horse shoe in shape. From the
pass there are in full view ten or twelve
high peaks, citen running up into reg
ular, sharp, rocky cones. Some ten or
fifteen miles away, looking to the west
ward, great mass of snow-covered
mountains were in view and below
these SUBMITS was seen true glacier,
having frontage of at least mile and
in some places face estimated at 500
feet in height. From underneath this
glacier flows stream of milky colored
glacier water. Professor Pumpelly,
with the Indian guide, penetrated the
amphitheater in which this glacier lies
and counted twenty-five cascades over
500 feet in height, besides seeing many
smaller ones The sides of the noun
tains which surround this amphithea-
ter are covered with deep bodies of
snow, which are the sources of the
many streams flowing into the valleys
below. There was but little snow on
the pass and with care it was not diff
cult to cross. In descending the cas-
tern side of the mountains the gorge
presents some remarkably lofty and
stupendous precipices. Those gentle
men of the party who had visited the
Yosemite Valley consider the scenery
of Marias Pass to be of more varied
character and grander in every respect.

A Prehistoric Reservoir,

'Tve seen good many wonderful
thing in my travels" said John Gregg,
commercial traveller, ..but the Walled
Lake of Iowa rather lays over every
thing l ever saw. Just imagine body
of water, covering nearly three thous-
and acres, with wall built up all
around 1t, not a stone in which can be
less than one hundred pounds in weight
and some as heavy as three tons, and
yet there's not a stone to be found in
ten miles of the lake. The wall is ten
feet high. about fifteen feet wide at the
bottom, and may be five on top. The
country is prairie land for miles around
except belt of heavy timber that en-
circles the lake. This timber is oak.
and it is plain that the trees were
planted there. They are very large.
The belt is probably half a mile wide.
The water in the lake is twenty-five
feet deep. as cold as lee, and as clear
as crystal.
"What Iwould like to know is, who
built that wall? And how did they
hold the water back while they were
building it? And how did they cart
those immense stones for ten milesP If
ever you go to Iowa, don't fail to visit
the walled lake. You'll find it in the
county of Wright, 160 miles from Du-
buque. The cars will take you almost
to it. IN T. san.

Central Park, New York.

One of the chief glories of New York
is its justly-famed Central Park. A de-
scription of it in type would fail utterly
to depict it so that the reader could
thoroughly realize the picture. Its
principal beauty to me is its happy
though artificial adaptation to nature's s
simplest yet most pleasing laws of
landscape gardening, and thereby its
delightful contrast to the artificiality of
the great city that surges up all around
it, but whose devouring wave is stayed
by the slight wave of verdure which
enriches the wide domain. 1t is truly
a peoples park. The rich ride in it
and drive in it. The poor walk in it,
and stroll in it, and sit in it, and play
in it, and lie down in it. By tens of
thousands they are there on bright
days. Their little ones fairly revel in
1T. 1t is a new life, renewed weakly,
to the myriad of hewers of wood and
drawers of water. The squirrels, the
sparrows, the ducks, the swans delight
in it. Even those cynics, the newspa-
per men, take pleasure in it. Yea,
verify! And when you stand on the
lofty, rocky elevation in the center of
the park, whence the vision sweeps the
horizon, with the great city's roofs and
towers stretching miles on miles in all
directions, and the sun going down to
his rest, casts golden CLEANS over the
wide sea of dells and hillocks, and
trees and grass and riYulets and lakes
at your feet, a glow of generous feeling
fills the breast; feeling of admiration
and respect for the philanthropic men
who presented this noble gift to their
fellow-men for all time and for all men.
