Whispcrings of Whitney.

Coy Hill is naturally delighted with the
triumphs of Tammany. His dispatch TO
Mayor Grant, in which he assures him that
his victory lis II triumph of loyal democ-
racv and reward Of successful admins
traton," comes from the region OF his
alleged heart. Gov. Hill boasts that he is
a democrat, and he knows where his
friends are. The triumph o! Tammany
means that the New York delegation in
the next democratic convention will name
David B. Hill for the presidency and that
he will he nominated unless the best laid
plans gang aglcy." 1t is more than
whispered, however, that Gov. Hill will
have TO reckon with ex-Sccretary Whitney
before he reaches the goal of his ambi-
ton. If the New York Legislature should
prove to be democratic on joint ballot, it
is predicted that Mr.. Whitney will appear
as candidate for the United States Sen
ate with the ultimate purpose Of beating
Hill in his pursuit of bigger game.

NO. IA.
Glaciers and Their Formation
Teresa c. Crofton in st. Slcholas)

In high valleys, among the mountains
whose tops are covered with perpetual
snow, are often found seas of ice, called
glaciers" They arc formed thus: Snow
that falls upon lofty mountains melts very
little in summer. SO in valleys high up
among the mountains it gathers to great
depth, and, from the weight of the snow
lying above, the lower layers become icy,
as SNOWFALL does when squeezed. The
upper crust melts little during the heat
of the day. and the water sinks down
through the snow, and then freezes at
night. From this melting and freezing
the mass of snow is soon changed into
sea of ice.
Remember that when wafer freezes il
expands. If we fill bottle with water
and let it freeze ever night. in the morn
ing we find that the bottle is cracked by
the swelling of the ice. 50 il is witt! the
water that forms glaciers. Whcn il
freezes, it stretches, and pushes It's way
down in whatever direction the valleys
slope.
Glaciers of to-day are much smaller
than the ice seas of long ago, but still, in
studying them, we learn to understand the
old glaciers.
In travelling down valleys those ancient
glaciers left tcaccs Of their journey. Over
all the places where the ice seas passed,
the rocks are rounded and highly polished.
4 field of these rounded rocks, when seen
from IL distance, looks like field filed
with sheep crouchin@ on the ground, and
Swiss biologists have called them rochcs
moutonnecs-''s hecp-like rocks" In
valley along the summit OF the Rocky
mountains, near the "Mountnin of the
Holy Cross" there is a beautiful display
of these polished. rounded rocks.
As the glaciers moved down the VAL
lcys. great rocks, frozen fast in the ice on
the sides and at the bottom, scratched
and marked other rocks ~ they passed 10y
and over them. Sometimes these scorings
arc very broad and deep. for the immense
rocks the glaciers carried were like strong,
powerful tools in the grasp of a mighty
engine; sometimes the lines are rs Ane aS
those of fine engraving. They usually
run all one way and b. looking III tnc
direction in which the lines run, one can
tell the direction in which the glacier
moved. In the sandstone west or New
Haven, Conn. the deep, broad scoring can
be plainly seen. running toward the south
east. The height at which these scratches
occur tells us something OF the depth OF
the ice
Markings in the White mountains indi-
cate that the ice was more than mile
deep over the region now known rs North
ern New England.
