There are many remarkable glaciers

Here rises Granite Peak, which, ac.

Their favorite route seems to be across
this wide glacier, and in the passage
scores of them succumb to the rigor

the snow, and are finally ontombed

carried by the ice river down into the

These insect remains are washed
out of the ice in furrows wherever
the suns heat has grooved the surface
into runlets of descending water. The
grasshoppers permeate the glacier
from top to bottom. No fragment ol

have been reduced to coarse powder,
and the furrows of them washed oui
by the runlets and naturally deposited
in parallel lines are very dark in color.

In the domain Of applied sciences
none have done more, if as much, for
the worlds progress during the nine
teenth century as chemistry, observes
the San Francisco Chronicle. It has
entered Into every phase of human
life and activity. In modern timer
the laboratory is an essential part Of
most industries, especially in those
IN which elements figure whose quail
tative and quantitative values need to
be accurately ascertained. Nothing
can be left, under such conditions, to
guesswOrk or chance. Every point
at issue must be solved by the crucia
tests Of the chemist. In the food
we eat, the water we drink, the air
we breathe, the clothing which we
wear, the habitations in which we
dwell and the materia medica which
cures human ills-this silent and re-
firing science finds expression and
wields a controlling influence.

Stella was generally voted the pret-

assiduity as little Tommy Lascelles,
''the Duffer," as he was called by his
brother officers who, Notwithstanding,

for which they hardly guessed "the

parently Stella was too much occupied
with her other guests to have word
to spare, and the little man sat beside
Mrs, Ogilyie, slipped his tea, and
talked.
Presently he rose to go.
''This is a long goodbye" he said,
very gravely; "you know we are or

Mrs. Ogilyie saw Stella's face grow
deadly pale; she saw, too, that young
Lascelles had noted it, and that he
glanced toward Major Lansdowne.
'Do believe me-" he said in his
quiet, gentle way, "that if I can shield
him for yonr sake in any way it shall
be done"
An expression of complete bewilder-

that of Bryan and Stevenson. Some Of

Dental election in the United s-atos.
The Evening News says:
"Anti-imperialism, the attempt TO
stir up jealousy against England, the
championship of the Beers and pander-
ing to the Fenians all availed Bryan
nothing. His defeat is eve more q de-
feat for Croker and Tammany, and
that is its happiest feature. 1t really
looks as though Americans are tired OF

to the issues Of anti-imperialism, anti.
trusts and social reforms, he might
conceivably have won. Sound money
proved his undoing. He has been cru.
Gifted on O cross Of gold,' but it has
been very much of q voluntary cruci-
fixion. The most remarkable feature
is the personal defeat of Boss Croker.
