Alaskan Glaciers.
Golden Days.

| OF the ten thousand known glaciers Of Alaska,
| two hundred Or more flow into the ocean and
| drop off icebergs. The only scientist of note
who has made study of the glaeiation of Alas
| ka is Professor John Muir, of California, who
visited it in 1879 and $780, but has not yet made
public his theories or discoveries
One of the six great glaciers that dip down
and empty into, Glacier bay, at the foot of Mount
Crilloy, is named for the circumstance of his
having been the first and only white man known
| to have visited it up to last July.
Revenue cutters and men -Of-war had gone to
| the mouth of the bay, but were, prevented from
exploring bergs. John Muir went to the glaciers
| in a canoe and with his blankets on his back,
and his pockets full OF hard tack, spent days of
scientific delight among its creyasses and
moraines
/ Last summer Captain Carroll seized the pro-
i pitious time, and steamed up to within an
the front of the icy cliffs, the lead giving sound
ings of eighty fathOms at that point
L The Muir glacier presents a frontage of two
miles at the point where it breaks into the sea,
and the icy wall, fretted and and worn into
| Thousand fantastic shapes, rises 500 feet more
| from the water. Steep mountains and old
| moraine5 wall it on the sides.
/ At low tide there is a continuous cracking as
i fragments fall into the sea, and a thunder as of
/ artillery when larger pieces detach themselves
and 60 floating off to join the feet OF icebergS
| drifting with the tides up and down the bay.
\ A subterranean river boils up midway on the
i front, and muddy torrent emerges from the
side of the glacier and pours down the ravine at
the left. Access is had to the lee plain from that
side, and far as the eye can reach stretch the
/ sloping miles of the ice river, with smaller
/ glaciers pushing in from every ravine.
\ Over the broken pinnacles one looks down
/ upon the bay, and hollow gurgle and roar come
| from the infinite depths Of the iee-wofld. La
that high latitude the sun sets about 10 o'clock,
and the full rays falling on the fronto OF the great
/ glacier, glorify the scene beyond all imagery.
