An Alaska Glacier,

A correspondent Of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, writing from Glacier Bay,
Alaska. thus describes Muir Glacier;
"On August 8 we went into Glacier
Bay, among the icebergs, early in the
day, and anchored within half mile of
the face of the glacier. All our party
then went on shore, spending the entire
day on this stupendous river Of ice. AS
we gazed upon it, our mouths were
closed and our tongues were silent, for
we were dumb with establishment, while
that great ice slide dragged slowly on
its dreary way, at the probable rate Of
quarter of mile per year. At the face,
or front, it presents perpendicular
wall of ice five hundred feet thick, and
varies from three to ten miles in width,
extending back to the north probably one
hundred and fifty miles. Hundreds of
tons of ice are falling off the face of this
great glacier every few minutes into the
bay, splashing the water more than fifty
feet high and rolling up waves that
tossed our ship like a small toy boat.
As the great icebergs fall off into the
water below, which is twenty-five faith
oms deep, sharp reports like the dis
cnafge OF neaVy hrblllery arc constantly
heard. This is caused by the splitting
up of the enormous ice fields above. The
appearance of the ice, the most pure in
the world, is dazzling to the eye, all the
tints of blue, from the most delicate tC
the deepest indigo, being represented
The top surface abounds with little hill
ocks and miniature mountains of ice
Great areas of earth, gravel, and larg,
rocks the size of a house are carried OF
the top Of these ice fields from place Il
place as this great flow, more than
thousand feet deep of solid ice, wend
its weary way. This brief description
does not half tell the story, and yet thi
is only one of the many glaciers we saw
Our party, many of them old tourists
unite in saying that Lake George, Hud
son River, Niagara Falls, Yellowston
Park, and all the rest of the American
scenery together is put into the shade il
comparison with that of Alaska"

Electricity in Georgia.

group of acquaintance who were rather
demoralized, "you don't call that light

Happy Honolulu.

The first impression the stranger gets
of Honolulu on entering the harbor Is
that all the beautiful tropical foliage has
been massed in one large garden, and
that garden must be Honolulu. AS you
enter the harbor you pass through a
narrow passage in the central reef that
nearly hens in the harbor. Outside the
reef the waves may be twenty feet high,
but as they dash upon this coral their
force is spent, and inside the reef lies
q smooth, calm sheet Of water of the
most beautiful blue--one Of the safest
harbors in the world. Drawing near
the wharf you are greeted by such .
chattering as you would hear in no
other part of the world. The natives
are laughing, talking, and joking with
each other-the happiest people In the
world They give and take Jokes with
out the least ill-feeling; they are full Of
music, and their very laugh is purely
musical; which, together with their
cultural language, Is most fascinating.
The Cinnamon also come down to the
wharves in geodly numbers, and their
ugly language, with its monosyllables,
may be heard as they call each others
attention to this and that. Then the
South Sea Islanders. or Calewa, as the
native calls them, the half-white and
foreigners, representing nearly every
nation ON the globe, make up the PEG
pie which you meet at Honolulu. Dos

The Floor Of the Sea.

1t is now believed that the denuda-
ions of the llnd do not cover the sea-
Hoor further than three hundred miles
ieaward. These deposits are four miles
deep in places. Far at sea its surface
IS covered with very small "shell-ani-
mails" There is patch of them in the
North Atlantic one thousand three hun
lred miles long and several hundred
niles wide. Their shells finally sink to
the bottom and form chalk. In the
rreat abysses of the ocean, however,
Ihese shells dissolve before they reach
;he bottom. Here the only addition to
he sea-foor is made of wrecks, iceberg

pumice from volcanoes, and meteoric
,tones. The punsice has hoated till il
became water-logged. The color of the

Empress Eugene and Her Son.

/ have seen the ex-Empress Eugene
at table perhaps dozen times, and ]
never saw any one cat so little that
seemed to be in as good health as she did.
Her son (poor boyD however, made up
for her, for he had very healthy appe-
tite. While at Shoeburyness Military
School he had several photographs
taken by one of the soldiers, who had
some talent that way, and he gave me
a copy with his autograph on it. An
other embryo artist at Shoeburyness
wished to make plaster bust of the
young Prince, and accordingly they ar
ranged the sand and mud TO take the
mold, and he got down on his knees and
bravely pushed his CREASED face into the
mud, but not far enough to suit the ar
fist, who put his hands on the young
Napoleon's neck and pushed it still
further in. When the plaster cast was
taken out there was nose like a gourd
squash about a foot long, as the plaster
had somehow forced a channel foritself.
This remarkable bust now stands on q
pedestal in the mess-reom at Shoe,
buryness, and is marked Napoleon ".
