FRANKLIN SOCIETY.

Lecture on "Ihe Ice of America" Illus
trated by John Fretweli.
Last night Mr.. John Fretwell delivered
an interesting lecture before the Provi-
dence franklin Society on the ice Of
America aud illustrated IL by views OF
the glaciers of Alaska and British Col
umbia. The lecturer began by reference
To the "Heima hskunden" or home
biographies, used in the elementary
schools of Germany, praising the work
already done by the Providence Franklin
Society in making the inhabitants OF
Rhode Island better acquainted with the
physical features OF the land they live
Iu aud pointed out some ways by which
they might increase the usefulness OF
their contributions to popular education.
After giving "A brief history of he pro-
gress of glacial studies since 1877. he
showed views OF striated rocks, glacial
boulders and glacial drift in Rhode Is
land and then described "a tour which he
had made by the Canadian Pacific Rail
road To visit the great continental Glacier
OF the Rpcky and Selhirk mountains, in
the ford foe the Marine glaciers in the
fiords of British Columbia, and especially
the great Muir glacier covering a space
larger than Rhode Island, in Alaska
The return by the glacier bearing vol
canic mountains OF Shasta aud Rainier,
and across the great American Desert.
with it's vestiges Of geologic change, was
then described and finally the lecturer
applied the lessons learned among the
glaciers of the Northwest to an explana-
tion OF the formation Of the glacial mo-
raines extending along the southern
coast Of New England all the way from
Cape Cod anu Plymouth to Staten
Island

The Nile, probably, is the most wonder
full river in the world. II has made
Egypt possible by turning an arid wilder
ness into the richest land in the world.
IL has provided at the same time an ad-
mirable commercial highway, and made
easy the transportation of building ma
terials. The ancient Egyptians were
thus enabled to utilize the granite OF
Assuan for the splendid structures of
hundred gated Thebes and OF Memphis,
and even for those OF Tsnis, on the Medi-
terranean coast. At time when the
people OF the British Isles were clad in
the skins Of wild beasts, and offered hu-
man sacrifices upon the stone affairs of
the Druids, Egypt was the centre OF
rich and refined civilization. Most
OF this development OF Egypt was
due to the Nile, which not only
watered and fertilized the soil an
nually, but was and is one OF the great
est and best natural highways in the
world. From the beginning OF winter to
the end OF spring-that is, while the Nile
is nRvigabfe-the north wind blows
steadily up stream with sufficient force
TO drive sailing boats against the current
at fair pace; while. on the other hand.
the current is strong enough TO carry a
boat without sails down against the
wind, except when IL blows q gale. That
is why ancient Egypt did not need steam.
power nor electric motors for the i'm
mense commerce that covered the Nile.
nor for the barges carrying building
material for hundreds OF miles.-Har.
