RumOr That He Had or Would Do so
Other Changes Suggested.

Other Changes Suggested.
It was rumored about the city hall this
afternoon that Warden Burke would resign
his position in a few days, it, indeed. he
had not already handed it in to the District
Supreme Court, by whom the warden of
the District jail Is appointed, and under
whose control the prison is. No verifcation
Of the rumor could be obtained, although
the story was said to have come from one
in a position to know. Another rumor was
to the effect that not only had Warden
Burke resigned, but also that the resiyna-
ton of Deputy Warden Russ and Prison
Physician McWilliams had been requested
by the court.
1t was stated this afternoon that, whils
the court had refraired from publishing
any decision in the matter of their recent
Investigation in affairs at the jail, the con-
cluston was reached at meeting last week
that the best way out of the matter was TO
allow Warden Burke to hand in his resg-
nation. thereby relieving him from the
pain of a dismissal. Members of the court
declined to discuss the matte-, and Warden
Burke stated to a Star reporter today that
there was nothing new that he knew Of
The warden's friends say, too, thar he Is
not man who would resign while under
fire. and that IL the court think that he
should go they will have to formally dis
miss him.
While the rumor that Warden Burke
had or would soon resign was very general
thls afternoon, no one particular man
seemed to have been thought of as his sue
cessor, although it was believ.d by many
that the choice of the court lay between
Court Crier Robert Ball and Deputy Mar
shall John r. Leonard.

HOW GLACIERS ARE FORMED.
More Ice Must he Produced Than the
Amount Melted.

From the Fortnightly Review.
The most recent researches, according to
Mr.. Falsan. show that the thickness of the
ice has been usually underestimated. A
terminal moraine on the Jura at Chasserou
is 1000 feet above the sea. or 217O feet
above Geneva. In order that the surface
of the ice should have had sufficient incline
to flow onward as 1t did. it was probably
5000 or 5000 feet thick below Martigny and
1000 or 5000 feet over the middle of the
lake. 1t Is certain. at all events. that what
ever thickness was necessary to cause on
ward motion to some outlet or lowland.
where the ice can be melted away as fast
as 1t is renewed, indefinite enlargement of a
glacier is avoided.
The essential condition for the formation
of glacier at all Is that more ice should be
produced annually than Is melted away.
So long the quantity produced Is on the
average mere than that melted. the glacier
will increase: and as the more extended sur
face of ice. up to certain point. by form
ing refrigerator, helps its own extension,
very small permanent annual surplus may
lead to an enormous extension of the ice.
Hence, II at any stage in its development
the end of glacier remains stationary,
either owing TO some obstacle in its path
or to Its having reached a level plain where
IL was unable to move onward the annual
surplus Of ice produced viii go to Increase
tne tilickness OF the glacier ana It's upper
slope till motion is produced The ice then
flows onward till it reaches Il district warm
enough to bring about an equilibrium be-
tween growth and dissolution
III therefore at any stage In the growth
Of the glacier a thickness of G,OOO 1900 or
even 5000 feet is needed to bring about this
result. that thickness will inevitably be pro-
duced. We know that the glacier OF the
Rhone did move onward to the Jura and
beyond II; that the northward branch flowed
on beyond the Soleure till II Joined the
glacier OF the Rhine, and that its southern
branch carried Alpine erratics to the coun-
try between Bourg and Lyone. $50 miles

THE INSECT LEAVES.
In Form and Color the Resemblance
IL Striking.

FROM harp<rs Magazine.
There is. perhaps. no other group Of in
sects which In form and color are so gen.
orally initiative. and which naturalists have
found more difficult to detect in their
haunts. Their bodies often resemble The
roughened bark Of the trees among which
they live; or they seem to have growing to

add to the deception. The disguise of the
walking leaf Phyllium is the more striking

HE WASN'T A SNAKE CHARMER.


From the San Francisco Examiner
DR.. Gustav Leipnitz.o one of the best known
German americans west of Chicago died
yesterday morning at the German Hos
pital. He was eighty-three years old. and
until within a week ago enjoyed the best of
health, with the exception of a local trouble
of the leg. DR.. Leipnitz was one Of the
most famous and picturesque Of the old time
characters in San Francisco. He was wide
ly known by the suggestive title Of 1.-The
Snake Doctor" and for the last fifteen or
sixteen years was proprietor of the drug
store at 238 Suffer street.
The Snake Doctor earned his sobriQuet
by his overfondness for req tiles Of all kinds
and especially for venomous snakes. Rat
tlesnakes were his particular pets. In his
time he has owned many Of these deadly
reptiles. and though he handled and ca
ressed them more lovingly than the average
person would care to handle q harmless
gopher snake. he never took the precaution
to withdraw their poisonous fangs. nor was
he ever seriously harmed by one Of his
pets.
Leipnitz did not claim to be a snake
with his serpents than most of the profess
sional charmers are. but had q theory az
to how to handle dangerous reptiles and
how not to handle them, And. unlike a
good many theorists. The Snake Doctor
had no hesitancy in making concrete ap-
plication Of his distractions.
It's very easy to handle dangerous

In not making any rapid movements while
handling them. All you have to do 10 to
move gently and with care. so as not to
startle them. BY nature the snake is not
aggressive and will only strike when II
thinks there Is danger threatening

no particular attention had been paid to his
