The Thickness Of Glaciers.

The most recent researches, accord
ing to VI. Falsan, shows that the thick
ness of the ice has been usually UNDER
estimated. A terminal moraine on tho
Jura Mt Chasseron is 5000 feet above
the sea. or 2770 feet above Geneva. in
order that the upper surface Of the ice
should have had sufficient incline to
flow onward as it did, it was probably
5000 or 5000 feet thick below Mar
tigny, and 1000 or 5000 feet over the
middle of the lake.
Il is certain, at all events, that
whatever thickness was necessary to
cause onward motion that thickness
could not fail to be produced, since It
is only by the onward motion to some
outlet or lowland where the ice can be
melted away as fast as IT is renewed
that indefinite enlargement ofa glacier
is avoided. The essential condition
for the formation Of a glacier at all IS
that more ice should be produced an
nually than is melted away. So long
as the quantity produced is on the av-
erage more than that melted, the
glaciers will increase and as the more
extended surface of ice, up to GER
tain point, by forming a refrigerator,
helps its own extension, a very small
permanent annual surplus may lead to
an enormous extension OF the ice.
Hence. if at any stage in its develop
ment the end of a glacier remains sta
tionary, either owing to some obstacle
in its path or to its having reached
level plain where it is unable to move
onward, the annual surplus of ice pro-
duced will go to increase the thickness
of the glacier and its upper slope till
motion is produced
The ice then flows onward till 1t
reaches a district warm enough to
bring about an equilibrium between
growth and dissolution. If, therefore,
at any stage in the growth Of glacier
q thickness of 5000, 1000, or even
5000 feet Is needed to bring about
this result, that thickness will newt
ably be produced.
We know that the glacier OF tho
Rhone did move onward to the Jura
and beyond it; that the northward
branch flowed on beyond Soleure till
it Joined the glacier of the Rhine, and
that its southern branch carried AL
pine erratics to the country between
Bourg and Lyons, 250 miles from its
source We know, too, that through
out this distance it moved at the bot
tom as we'll as at the top, by tho
rounded and polished rocks and beds
of stiff boulder clay which are found
in almost every part Of its course

AT REST.

We lay us calmly down to sleep,

Or wake no more on Times fair shore,

We lay us down TO sleep.
As sinks the sun in western skies
When day is done and twilight Gim
Comes silent on.
So fades the worlds most Turing prize
On eyes that close in deep repose,
Till wakes the dawn.

Why shun the grave, for aching head
SO cool and low
Have we found life so passing fair,
So grand TO be, so sweet that we
Should dread to go?
Some other hand the task can take,
Ifso it seemeth best, the task
BY us begun.
No work for which we need to wake,
In Joy or grief, for life so brief,
Beneath the sun.

The Many Uses oil Tale.

Few realize how useful tale has be-
come, now that it is mined at many
points from New York to Alabama.
Being thoroughly incombustible, it is
of great value in the manufac ture Of
freproof wall paper, paper window
curtains, etc Even in its crude state
it has a very oily "feel, and is found
to Weld one of the best lubricants
known. Mixed with the common
grades of soap, it makes them as pleas
ant to the touch as the choicest brands,
rendering the skin smooth and soft,
although entirely without any clean
ing qualities. 1t is also largely used
in the manufacturing Of patent wall
plaster, in which its addition gives
smooth, glossy finish to walls and cell
ings that no other substance lends
Tale powder, duly refined, is exquis-
itely soft and fne-grained. Hence it
makes an excellent infant powder,
softening the tenderest skin and pre-
venting chatting, irritation or even
"prickly heat, as will no other sub
stance. So, too, it makes an unsur-
passed molding sand for casting metals
in, both its freproof and fne-grained
qualities being very valuable in fine
work. Mixed with rubber, it renders
it more elastic and less liable to crack.
From it is also made the "French
chalk" used by tailors, and shoe deal
ers use it in the powdered form to
coax a No. foot into No shoe.
The richest tale mines are now being
worked in Cherokee County, North
Carolina, where it is found in leaves
and scales, very much like slate; it is
easily mined with ordinary tools and
can be sawed or even broken by hand.
It has brought as high as $500 per car
load at the market. st. Louis Repub-

Queer Things Happen in a Hurricane.

The story concerns the big four-masted

from Sharpness to Sydney, n. 5. W.
When sailing along between the Cape
Of Good Hope and Australia, the ship
ran into a hurricane, or was overtaken
by one. about midnight. Suddenly

high. became calm, and to those on the
ship it seemed as il the surface OF the
ocean had been subjected to an enor-
nous pressure, 10y which the waves

men we're almost blinded by sheet OF
flame, which enyeloped the ship from
stem to stern, and reached hall way mp
the masts.
This wave of flame surged back ami
forth. fore and aft, for few seconds,
and was then snuffed out as suddenly
as it had appeared, leaving captain
and crew cropping about in intense
darkness. The binding glare was ex-
tremely painful to the eyes, but caused
no damage either to the men or to the
ship. Captain Witt said it was his first
