The Alaskan Glacier.

The most accurate information yet ob- tained concerning these glaciers is that gathered by MT. William P. Blake in 1863. According to him 'there are four large glaciers and several smaller ones visible within distance of sixty or seventy miles from the mouth'' of the river. The, second of these larger ones has attracted most attention. This ''sweeps grandly out into the valley from an opening between high noun tains from source that is not visible. It ends at the level of the river in an ir- regular bluff of ice mile and half or two miles in length and about one hun dred and fifty feet high. Two or more terminal moraines protect it from the direct action of the stream. What at first appeared as range of ordinary hills along the river proved on landing to be an ancient terminal moraine, cres- cent shaped and covered with a forest. It extends the full length of the front of the glacier"
 This glacier has never been fully ex- plored. A number of years since a party of Russian officers attempted it's exploration and were never heard from again. Mir. Blake reports that, as usual with receding glaciers, a considerable portion of the front as it spreads out in the valley is 50 covered with powders, gravel and mud that it is difficult to tell where the glacier really ends. But from the valley to the higher land it rises in precipitous, irregular, star-like blocks, with smooth sides, and so large that il was impossible to surmount them with the ordinary equipment of explorers. The glacier is estimated to be about forty miles long.

A Valuable Compendium on This Subject
just Issued.
Bulletin No. OF the botanical division
of the United States Department of Agri-
culture, just issued, constitutes the most
complete and valuable compendium on
the subject Of peach yellows ever pub
lshed. It's author, Erwin f. Smith who
has devoted sixteen months of continuous
careful examination and painstaking
study to this subject, presents in a clear
and interesting manner all the known
facts and best founded theories about
this devastating disease; its history and
distribution characteristics of the
disease; losses due to yellows; conditions
known, or supposed to favor the disease
restrictive legislation chemical analysis;
local enactments; and conclusions as to
the cause of yellows. Carefully prepared
maps showing the extent and location of
the infested district and several photo
engravings and colored plates depicting
the appearance of the peach trees
and fruit accompany the work.
The author, while not able as
yet to draw final conclusions from the
facts ascertained so far, considers it rea-
sonably safe to conclude that yellows is
not due to cultural influences and that
/ dlNuNuEu Nht lIoSboi huuuo anu uIouEulh
may be modifying influences, they are
nothing more. Neglect of cultivation
and pruning injuries by quadrupeds and
borers use Of animal manures, soil ex.
haustion, etc, must all be included in
the list Of disproved theories The only
remaining probable hypothesis Of the
cause Of yellows, the author thinks, is
that Of micro-o organisms Further in
vestigations and experiments will BE-
required before final conclusion can b'
reached, but 50 much may be safely
admitted; the reach yellows is a commu
nicable disease and it is justifable OF
the rart Of state legislatures TO max
statutes compelling the immediate re
moval and destruction by fire Of al
! affected trees. IL is gratifying to not
that the agricultural appropriations 70

The following letter has been written
by City Solicitor Turner to the president
Of the Union National Bank
WILMrNGTON. May 1, 1889.
Mr. Preston Lea, President Of Union
National Bank
DEAR SIR: Some characterless persons,
who honor me with their hatred and
whose esteem | would consider dis
honor. are now, and have been, since the
close of the General Assembly, engaged
in industriousy circulating a report that
| was in some way connected with the
passage OF what is known as the rider to
the q Street bill affecting the city de-
posits in the Union National Bank.
| wish TO say you, sir, that ] was
neither directly or indirectly engaged in
the promotion OF that enterprise, and
that ! never heard tell of it till | reached
home after the close of the session. The
person from whose lips | first learned of
the passage of that rider was William II.
Quinn in the city tax office on Saturday
last.
About the close Of the session | was
engage in keeping track Of Senate bills
ported to me as lost, and both of which
were very important in their bearings
upon the city had no reason to sup
pose that the G street bill would have
been encumbered with any extra legisla-
tion, for had amended that bill in ac.
cordance with an agreement with
George g. Lobdell and the Street
and Sewer Department and the
bill so amended l left with
Senator Donahoe, who promised to
look after the passage of the bill while
went to look after as equally important
measures in the House. The question of
the deposits having been fought out be-
fore the Council and afterwards trans
ferred to the Legislature and there pub
licly acted upon, | regarded as practical
settlement of the whole matter and the
Legislature having voted to keep the city
deposits in your institution it never
occurred TO me that an attempt would be
made to bring ont by secret legislation
that which had been openly defeated.
Hoping that my assurances in this re-
gard may be perfectly satisfactory, you
will please accept the consideration Of the
high esteem in which hold you, and be.
lieve me to be your obedient servant,
HENRY O. TURNER,
CITY Solicitor.
