quarry had been blasted into the south

THE ART OF SNOW SHoElMG.

When Captain Glenn. of our army,
was sent with detachment of soldiers
To carry out some extensive expior-
atoms i'm Alaska, last year. he found
that snow shoes would have To play
an important part i'm the work. An
incident occurred one day, that proved
TO him it was high time 90 break i'm the
men who had NOT learned the art OF
snowshoe travel. The spectacle he and
his party Witnessed was amusing to all
except the unfortunate person who
supplied the run, says the New York
sun.
IL was before the party had started
inland. The hospital steward was in
Structed To cross a certain glacier and
report TO Lieut. Learnard. IL was ne

Wdlther was not cold enough 10 form
a crust that would bear the weight os

capt. Glenn AYERS i'm his report which
UnU war Department has just pub
liShed. that no one was ever seen who
was 80 utterly helpless with such foot
gear attached 10 him az this hospital
steward.
RE persisted in sticking the toe NJ
his shoes into the snow and this
error kent him i'm trouble. Then about
every third pace ne would step on one
shoe with the other and keel headlong
over into the snow. In this situation he
was mere mass OF helplessness and
do what he might. he couldn't arse
till somebody Clme and boosted him
To his feet. II took him eight hours 20
travel two miles and before ne gat
back to camp he had given up snow
shoeing. He came I'm wadling through

his shoes
This convinced the captain that u
was absolutely necessary for every
member of The detachment to know
how 10 use snow shoes. and so the ediCt
went forth that the steward ana every
other man who had nos previously ac-
quired this knowledge should use snow
shoes FOR "a walk Cf five miles everyday
