SUBTERRANEAN ICE DEPOSITs.

From The Engineering and Mining Journal.
Edwin Swift Balch recently read to the Frank
lin Institute. in Philadelphia, a paper Whlch
may be thus summarized: Subterranean Ice de-
pOsitS found in America from ALI ska TO
TERRA del Fuego, and. though rare are more
frequent than is generally supposed.
In the United States proper such deposits are
known in Washington. oregon. California, Mon
tana wyoming Colorado. Arizona. Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Indiana Virginia, Pennsylvania New
York. Connecticut Massachusetts, Vermont
New Hampshire and Maine. In the Western
states are the biggest ice-bearlng caves; IN the
Eastern ones the ice is mostly IN taluses ana
wells
The tcrminolocy OF the subject is very CON
fusing. Ice cave" and ice gorge do not cover
all the geological formations. The German
division into ice caves" and "Windhoies' ia also
not clear. The only term which seems compre-
hensive and accurate ~ the French "giac!ere
naturelle" which might be translated into ma
ural refrigerator" This term, or one Ike IT,
should be used for all places where there is ice
under ground When there draughts through
q subterranean hollow. then the term wind
hole" or blowing cave" is accurate, whether
there is or is not any ice.
Observations in a number Of these glaciers
in the Appalachians in 1878 showed That the
very hot summer OF that year affected the sup
plies OF ice, in or two places entirely destroy
ing il where il Is generally perennial Every
thing showed that the cold of winter alone is
the producer OF the ice which fingers. despite
The heat OF summer, owing 10 its being well
sheltered There is no proof that evaporation
ever forms ice under ground All other susees-
tons as 10 its mode OF formation may be neg
lected

cut lengthwise OF the cone, which varies in
width from two TO four inches. A short, stout
stick is inserted in the long irregular rent and

produced varies in keeping with the width OF

This produces a sort OF wailing sound which is
considered good music by the islanders.
Among the keyed instruments the most
notable specimen Is the Christofori piano. 1t
is believed that there only two OF these
pianos in existence. One Is known TO be in
Florence, Italy, and the one which has a place

There is not a case nor a group in the large
collection which is not interesting to the
musician. the antiquarian or the lover Of the
beautiful; and while there may be collections
which are larger in number or possibly richer
in some respects. it is believed that the Brown
collection is The most evenly balanced. and the
student may see there anything in the way of
instruments. from the primitive two sticks TO

NETWORK TRIBUNE ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT

The Hindoo instruments attract attention be-
cause OF their beauty and their quaint con
structon. The vina the national instrument.
is shown in several artistic specimens. This
instrument is made Of a bamboo rod with q
Gourd at either end. Metal strings are passed
the rod. and these are twangod the
gourds act as sounding boards. The player
rests one gourd on his left shoulder and holds
the other under his right arm while he plays
the strings.
THE ANCESTOR OF THE VIOLIN
An instrument in the same case which looks
like mandolin with long neck is known as
a rebec and it is believed that this nstru-
nent was originally carried into Europe by the
Moors and suggested the violin. In the same
group are some fine specimens OF drums which
were played upon with the fingers and made
the music for the dancing girls.
The boat-shaped harps from Burmah have
buffalo skin sounding boards and thirteen silk
strings and are tuned like the ancient Egyptian
instruments Of a similar kind by winding the
strings and fastening them with fancy end
pieces
Dulcimers with metal strings passing over
movable frets on sounding board made TO
represent crocodiles and lizards attract atten-
ton much on account Of the perfect cary
ing as because Of the REGULARITY OF the instru-
ments. The bells in this collection are also
noteworthy because OF their artistic finish and
their close resemblance TO fine specimens Of
similar work in the Chinese collection.
Among the few reproductions there is a
erwin or crowd. which was an important and
popular instrument in Wales and which has
also been claimed as the model from which the
violin sprung.
One Of the most interesting features OF the
European room is the collection OF flutes which
contains a number ef specimens from ancient
Rome found in Tiber. and many curious ex-
amples Of single and double nageoets.
In the African collection there are instru-
ments known as zanzees which are made Of a
thin strip of wood four or five inches square.
with strips one-haf to three-quarters OF an
inch wide fastened to one end These strips
OF which there are from six TO ten. are made
Of wood bone or metal and sound is produced
by swapping the small pieces or taking up
the loose ends and letting them snap back
uron the little sounding-b boards. There are
also xylophones which rest in gourds and the
kissar an instrument shaped like a mandolin
the broad part Of which is a human skull
blackened and polished and decorated with long
black hair
CURIOUS KINDS OF DRUMS.
In the Asiatic room there is a peculiar per
cusson instrument which is made Of series
Of small drums arranged between double hoops
These drums represent various notes and the
performer who sits within the circle, plays
upon them with small sticks The most inter
esting drums are those from the New -Hebrdes
which stand at the entrance to room No. 26
These are cut from solid wood and are about
eight feet high and conica In shape. The
