William G Johnson of the United
States geological survey, whD discovered
a remarkable glacier in tile Big Horn
Mountains, Wyoming, is in San Fran
cisco with Prof. Thompson director of
in the Wesern States
Johnson is to have charge Q, some man
work in California. He saws that the
region in the Big Horn ino which he
penetrated had never beforebeen visited
by scientific man. Very rarely Il II
visited at all, and then onlyby prospect-
ors and hunters, who go everywhere in
the mountain country. Johnson related
how he climbed to the top Of mount
ain 13,500 feet high, which hecalls Cloud
Peak. On reaching the very highest
pinnacle he saw a great glacier stretched
out before him. The mas. of ice was
not less than five miles long. and at the
bottom extended out into a lake about
Ihree- fourths of a mile. The lake il
small but very picturesque sheet of wa
er. In it the explorer saw icebergs
which had broken off the glacier. The
glacier in every way resembled those of
he Alps, and was moving CONSTANTLY
out by intinitesimal degrees. The great
quantity OF ice in the lake, too, seemed |
% lower the temperature considerably |
md at the time Johnson was there. |
hree weeks ago-a portion of the body

our inches thick. Another mountain
oomed up less than two miles from
)loud Peak, and from distance it looked |
IS If it would be impossible for anv man
o climb it without cutting a stairway in
he rock. There were precipices thou
ands of feet high, and even on the gla- |
ler there was one place where a man
ould stand and drop stones down into
he water, distance of 1000 feet.
