The Manuracture of wlld Men.

There are many curious trades in the
world, but the most strange must
surely be the artificial manufacture of
wild men," Yet well-known English
doctor in China has just certified from
his own personal experience that this
art is regularly practiced in the Flow
cry Kingdom. First youth is kid
naped, then bit by bit he is tiayed
alive, and the skin of dog or bear is
grated piece by piece upon him. His
vocal chords are next destroyed by the
action of charcoal to make him dumb,
and the double purpose of causing
''etiolation" of the skin and utter degra-
dation of the mental faculties is effected
by keeping him immured in IL perfectly
black hole for a number of years In
fact, by treating him like brute for a
sufficiently long time he is made into
one. At last he is exhibited to the en-
tirely credulous Chinese as wild man
of the woods, and his possessors reap a
rich harvest. The priests, it seems, are
adopts at the art. When lsidnaper,
however, is caught by the people he is
torn to pie ces, and when the authori-
ties get him they torture him and
promptly behcad him.--London Chron.

MoNr BLANC GLACIERS.
Vetreat and Advance of the Huge Mnsse
OF leo aud snow.

Vetreat 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 long period of recession they
recently began to advance again. In
connection with their periodical retreat
and advance it is 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 ChamoniX, now
separated by pass which takes fifteen
to eighteen hours to pass and which is
only practicable in fine weather and for
experienced mountaineers, were once
intimately connected Cournayeur was
an ecclesiastical dependency of
Chamonix, and it is said that 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
dence on the subject conjecture that in
the twelfth and thirteenth centuries
the passes now closed with snow and
ice were 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 compacted
by pressure into ice Their distribu-
tion is very extensive. They are com
mon in Greenland, Alaska, Norway,
Japan, the TIinalayas, Pyrenecs and
the Alps. OF the /, 155 glaciers of the
Alps the longest is the Aletsch fifteen
miles in length, The depth of the Aar
glacier has been estimated at 1,5lO feet
Next to the Aletsch among European
glaciers 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 impclled
down the slopes by gravitaton the
pressure of the masses from behind and
from the sides gradually hardcns and
compacts it until at last the air is driv-
en- ont and the glacier assumes the form
of blue crystalline ice
Thus slowly pushing forward it con-
tinues to descend until in warmer lati-
tudes q zone is reached where the sun
becomes too powerful to be resisted and
the ice melts, forming the headquarters
Of rivers many of which take their ori-
gin in this way. In more rigorous eli
mates the ice sheets are pushed down
until their edges are protrudcd into the
ocean and until sufficient depth OF
water is reached to float the buoyant
ice, when detaching themselves from
the parent mass they float out to sea as
iccbergs. s.-Philadelphia Telegraph.
