INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO
LIVE IN DISGUISE.

For the best part of his life a well
known Glasgow merchant lived and
worked under a disguise so perfect
that his own relatives could have pass
ed him in the public streets without
recognition, and he took infinite pains
to maintain this disguise solely that his
relations should never know him if they
met him by chance. Learning this
much casually, ninety-nine people out
of a hundred would. not unnaturally,
decide that Saunderson's motive was a
bad if not an absolutely illegal one, but
1t was as good and legitimate as posi-
BILE.
The facts were simply that Saunder-
son was born in one of the worst parts
of Houndsditch and belonged. through
no choice of his own, to family OF ha-
bitual criminals. Fatherless, he fell

ARE GLACIERS INCREASING

IFrom the Chicago Inter-Ocean.l
For the past five years physical geog-
raphers have been giving a great deal of
attention to the study of glaciers. One
question that has interested them very
much is whether since the beginning of
the historic period the glaciers of the
world have augmented or diminished
in area No perfectly definite informa-
ton with regard to this question has
been obtained through some general
conclusions have been reached. 1t is
traditional in the Alps. however. and
some other regions that valleys now
occupied by glaciers were formerly pas
ture lands On the whole it is certain
that for several centuries till quite re-
Gently there was a gradual increase in
the area of glactation-
Glaciers everywhere are in state OF
continual movement-they are con-
stantly increasing in length or shorten
ing Climatic variations are, of course,
fthe cause of these oscillations though
the influence of climate upon glacial
movement is not vet fully understood
When the laws governing the move
mentS of glaciers are well known the
science of meteorology will be consid-
erably further advanced than it is to-
dav.
There is good evidence to show that
in tie arctic regions in the eighteenth
century and in part of the nineteenth
an important extension of glaciers oc-
Cured. In Spitzbergen. for example,
harbors which whalers had often visit
ed in the seventeenth and early in the
eighteenth centuries were filled later
with glaciers. so that they could no
longer be used by shipping. The ad-
vance of glaciers in Iceland is said to
/ have covered places that had formerly
! been the sites of farms and churches.
Glaciers seem, within the historic period
to have attained their greatest extent
about 1860. Since that time few of them
have grown to an important degrees.
Many of them have diminished in size,
and others have entirely saDDeared.
This phenomenon has been observed in
all parts of the world.
Probably few persons imagine that
! glaciers cover so large an area as they
| do The land surfaces which are to-
are supposed to be about 4,485,000 square
miles in extent. or more than one and
One-half times as large as the United
States. This enormous mass of ice is
distributed very unevenly over the
world, and nearly all of it is in the po-
lar regions, Outside of the perpetualls
frozen nort- and south only about 10,
500 square miles of surface are covered
with glaciers.
It will be interesting to remember
that there are two distinct types OF
glacial pheromena-the Alpine ano> III
polar. One of the best examples of tht
Alpine type of glacier is seen in tbs
Mer de Glace at Chamounix. A circle
of peaks surrounds a depression which
is 1lled by comDacted snow and ice
known as neye. This IS the reservoir
the source of the glacier. In this de.
preston the snow, either falling from
the heavens or brought by winds ans
