WORLDS FAIR SOUVENIRS.
How You Can Get One Of the Columbian
half Dollars.

The Worlds fair souvenir coins are
gong like not cakes" and those who
want to get one or more of them will
have to bestir themselves or they will be
to late. The desire for one of these
momentos of the exposition seems to be
almost as universal SIS is the interest in
the exposition itself. and orders for them
have been sent in from all parts of the
United States and also from foreign
countries.
This souvenir half dollar. it is reported
from Washington, will be tie most ar
tlstic coin ever issued from the mint. On
the diverse will appear the head of
Columbus, designed from the Lotto por-
TRAIT, ana surrounding it the words.

SO. 1892 On the reverse side will appear
caTavei. representing Columbus flag

Above the caravel will be United
States of America" and beneath the
hemispheres Columbian Half Dollar
There is no doubt that this coin will be
regarded as the most distinctive and
highest priced cheap souvenir Of the
worlds fair.
All of these souvenir coins, except
five, are being sold at uniform price of
81 each. For the first coin struck off
$4,000 has already been offered, and
various prices have been bid for the
400th. 1.492d, 1S92d, and the last coin.
Desiring that these souvenirs be distrib-
uted as widely as possible among the
people, and that all, irrespective of To-
callty, have a chance 10 obtain them the
exposition authorities have sought TO
prevent syndicates and others from pur-
chasing large quantities, and thus cor
nerins" the sale.
On the contrary, they have arranged
to supply banks, business houses and in
diriduals with as many as they may de-
sire TO distribute among their patrons,
customers or friends They require
only that the orders must be for fifty
coins, or some multiple of fifty and that
the order he accompanied by cash at the
rate of 81 for each coin. Many banks
and business firms have gladly complied
with these condition, and ordered each
from so to 10000,
Notwithstanding these conditions
have been widely published, still vast
number of inquirjes by letters has been
received at the exposition headquarters
asking how the coins may be obtained.
The best way is to get them through
local banks, all of which are no doubt
willing TO accommodate in that way their
patrons and the residents of the city OF
town in which they are doing business.
Ii, however, for any reason it is desired
to obtain them otherwise, the proper
method is to form club of subscribers
for fifty coins, or some multiple OF fifty
and select some one member of the club
TO send on the order and money and to
distribute the coins when received.
Orders should be addressed to A. f. See
berger. treasurer Worlds Columbian
Chicago
1t is probable that the coins will not be
ready Cor distribution until sometime in
December. But the orders are being
sent in rapidly, and will be filled in the
order of being received. Therefore it is
important that all who desire coins
should put in their order as soon as pos
sible.

The Cause OF the Alpine Disaster Which

The Cause OF the Alpine Disaster. Which
Overwhelmed Part of St. Gervais.
The biologists who have investigated
the cause of the great disaster which
overwhelmed a part of St Gervais,
the lower part of the Bionassy glacier.
have solved the mystery. Up the side
of the mountain. at the foot OF the
steep glacial wall whose lower part
broke away. the explorers found in the
tee an oval cavern about so feet in
width and rs feet in height In the IN.
terror of the cavern was corridor COW
cred with blocks of ice and leading into
gigantic basin with perpendicular
walls of ice. 1t was 45 feet long, 200
feet wide and l4O feet high. In this
great cavity there had been an intra-
glacial lake of whose existence no one
had been aware The condition Of the
walls proved that the cavity had been
full of water recently,
The existence of this great reservoir
of unfrozen water inclossd on all sides
explains the nature of the immense
avalanche that rwhelmed the valley
below. The excessive heat of the days
before the disaster had probably in
creased the quantity of water In the
natural reservoir, and the greater pres
sure broke the front wall. cracking
away the lower part of the glacier. and
permitting the immense volume Of wa
ter to pour down the mountain into the
valley below. carrying with it the
broken foot Of the glacier. The water
and ice fell a distance of 1000 feet
down an inclined plane two miles long,
and part of St Gervais had been over
whelmed almost before anyone heard
the roar of the approaching deluge.
This is the only accident due to such
q remarkable cause ever known in the
Alps. 1t has been followed. however.
by some what similar accident at the
Misaun glacier near Pontresina. A con-
siderable part of this short, steep gla-
cier fell, and although there was no
loss of life, the accident draws atten-
ton to the fact that ali over the Alps
climbers have recently noticed a swell
ing of the upper SHOWS which feed the
glaciers. They report that not few
of these glaciers have been impsssa bic
without great risk this season. and that
the upper edges of the great crevasses
have overbung in a remarkable man
ner. These facts point 20 an expansion
of the upper snow field by great heat,
and before the past season was more
than half over climbers were warned
of this fact. which was doubtless the
cause OF many avalanches.
A fall of ice from one of the glaciers
in the VALLEY OF Visp partly destroyed
the village of Tasch, near Zermatt. j.
carried way nearly a quarter of mile
of the highway. The waters of the
VieVe torrent swollen by melting snow
from the mountains, attacked the
