Climbing ~sronnta,n, IN Zealand

Inc highest mountain in Iceland vas
seconded last summer for the first time.
The successful mountaineer was Mr.. F.
w. w. Howell, who was encouraged
when he started for Iceland by informa-
ton from the Royal Geographical So
clety that the difficulties in the way of
climbing the Oroefa Jokull were sup
posed to be insuperable. The mountain
Is near the southeast coast, and is an i'm
posing sight from the sea. Mr.. Howell
made an attempt in 1890 to climb the
mountain, but was defeated by the
weather.
On Aug. Il last he left Sandfell, a
little settlement on the coast near the
base of the mountain, at 4 a. m. when
OF course 1t was broad daylight in that
latitude: He was accompanied by two
l~celanders as porters. He struck the
snow slopes at 10 a. M, and it took him
nine hours and a half to reach the top of
the mountain whose sides are quite steep
and covered with ice and snow.
Though this mountain is the highest
IN Iceland, its elevation was found by
Mr.. Howell to be only $3.50 feet, but
owing to h latitude the phenomena of
the snow slopes compare most favorably
with those Of mountains 10000 feet high
In Switzerland. Mr.. Howell SAYS the
lc1cle galleries in the upper ~crevasses are
particularly fine. This is undoubtedly
n of the most successful feats of
mountain climbing of the year, for the
mountain presents as many difficulties
as any of the Alps, with two or three ex-
ceptions. 1t is comparatively easy to as
cend Mount Hecla, and the climb is
made every once in a while by one OF
more tourists .-New York Sun.

An Extensive Salt Mine.

The most extensive salt mine in the
world is in Wieliezka, near Cracow,
Austro-Hungary. For 600 years it has
been constantly worked, and from it
50, 1000 tons of salt are annually taken.
The mass of salt in it is estimated to be
500 miles long. 20 miles broad and 1900
feet in depth. Its collective galleries
are fully 80 miles in length, and its
lower levels contain streets and houses,
making it a complete underground vii

suit, but wish to remark that, while
there are farmers in all parts of our

The lecture by Prof. III. P. Cush-
ing, at Normal Hall last night, on
the subject of Alaska" was treat
to the large audience assembled there.
Prof. Cushing, it will be remembered,
made trip to Alaska last summer on
the scientific expedition, for the pur-
pose of exploring and verifying reports
concerning the Muir glacier. In his
lecture he described the trip up the
narrow straits between the islands
and the main land on the Pacific coast,
from Tacoma to Glacier Bay. The
straits are like submerged valleys, and
correspond to the valleys between the
Coast Range and Rockies in Califor-
MIA. The islands are mountains that
project above the water, with sheer
descent, and no beach, and are heavi-
ly wooded. The trip is fine one, as
there are no swells and therefore no
seasickness. 1t is daylight until mid
night. The speaker referred to Fort
Wrangle, and its half savage inhabi-
tants, their totem poles and the sig
nificance Of the carvings upon them.
The main portion of the lecture con
sisted Of description of the Muir and
other glaciers, where several weeks
were passed on the ice. This is in
sight of Mt. st. Elias, the height of
which the speaker was inclined to be-
lieve has been over estimated, as also
that of several other high peaks in
Alaska. The summers are exceeding
ly hot in Alaska, and the winters very
cold. A peculiar thing that was OBJ
served was that where creek had cut
a canon 100 feet deep the roots and
stumpS of trees could be seen at vari-
Gus depths, showing where the forest
had been in the pre-glacial age. While
there are now no trees to be seen about
Glacier Bay, there is plenty of wood
to be had from the trunks of vegeta-
tiOn that once thrived there. Mr..
Cushing believed that there are indi-
cations that the glacier is still reced-
ing. In conclusion he stated that
such trip is well worth the while
of anyone, and that he would like
nothing better than to repeat it, The
lecture was very interesting and was
illustrated by drawings and maps.
