MONT BLANC GLACIERS.
Retreat and Advance Of the Huge Masses
OF Ice aud snow,

The glaciers in the Mont Blanc
region, one Of which slipped down with
such fatal and disastrous Consequences,
are among the best known in the Alps
They descend SO low into the valleys
that they can be more easily observed
than many others.
After a long period OF recession they
recently began to advance again. In
connection with their periodical retreat
and advance it i. interesting to find
that tradition, supported by some
documentary evidence, seems to show
that the glaciers and snow fields were
once very much smaller that at present.
Courmayeur and ChamoniN, now
separated by n pass which takes fifteen
to eighteen hours to pass and which is
only practicsbl i in fine weather and for
experienced mountaineerS, were once
intimately connected. Courmayeur was
an ecclesiastical dependency of
Chamonix, and it is said hat the pas
sage between the two places used at
one time TO be made in six or seven
hours, and that the inhabitants of
Courmayeur occasionally attended re-
ligious services at Chamonix.
Those who have examined the evil
dcnce on the subject conjecture that in
the twelfth and thirteenth centuries
the passes now closed with snow and
ice We're almost free from them, al
though at a time long anterior to that
of which any record exists it appears
that the glaciers extended far beyond
the limit they now occupy.
Glaciers are rivers of snow c~ompacted
by pressure into ice. Their distribu.
ton is very extensive, They are COM
mon in Greenland, Alaska, Norway,
the Himalayas, Pyrcnees and
the Alps OF the 1,l55 glaciers of the
Alps the longest is the Alctsch, fifteen
miles in length. The depth of the Aar
has been estimated at l,5l0 feet,
Next to the Aletsch among European
in point of size is one of the
Caucasus.
On the higher submits of glacier
bearing mountains the snow lies loose
in granular form, but as it is impelled
down the slopes by grayitation the
pressure of the masses from behind and
the sides gradually hardens and
compacts it until at last the air is driv-
en- out and the glacier assume the form
Of blue crystalline ice. n
Thus slowly pushing forward it con-
tinues to descend until in warmer lati-
,udes a zone is reached where the sun
oecomes too powerful to be resisted and
ice melts, forming the Headquarters
rivers, many of which take their ORR
this way. In more rigorous eli
the ice sheets are pushed down
until their edges are protruded into the
ocean and until a sufficient depth of
is reached to float the buoyant

outside Il in a tapering width to the
backbone; by tapes and buttons the ends
are fastened across the back. The out.
side covering is made precisely as a
horse blanket with the exception Of the
additional length for the neck and ears
and the additional strip underneath,
running the length of the blanket from
leg to leg and bUttoned under the belly
to a corresponding piece on the ether
side, While ones first impression is
that the garb is ludicrous in the ex.
IRENE, a second glance brings us to the
point of admiration for the neatness of
the outfit and the comfort Of its wearer,
which is heightened by the contented
look in the animals eyes as he lazily
twitches his long ears. Surely a SINH
lar dress could be readily made up for
the n Gov and one horse of the small
farmer or owner OF a country home and
be worth all it costs. -Gcorge K.
