An Imposing Glacier.

About 13 miles from Cooke, on the

cier at least $50 feet high. Upon its
glistening surface the bright sun looks
down as it has for ages and in no way
affects this icy mirror below. Here and
there are immense cracks or assures
where the awe stricken adventurer cali
look down into unknown depths
The strangest part of this glacier IS
that all over its surface in vast multi
tudes. and particularly near its base,
lie great grasshoppers in perfect state
of preservation At the base they are
heaped up in windows and present a
curious spectacle There is field for
much speculation and room for wonder
