Agassiz, wishing to study the glitter

himself on one occasion to be lowered in
to a crevice IN a glacier and remained for
some hours at midday az a point hun
dreds Of feet below the surface Of the
ice After gratifying his enthusiasts
curiosity he gave the signal to be drawn
up I heard him tell this himself, and
be said, 'In our haste We had forgotten
the weight Of the rope. We had calcu-
lated the weight Of my person, Of the
basket IN which I rode, and OF the tack

had forgotten the weight Of the rope that

lLLiTERAGY AMONG THE MEN.
Census Figures Show Greater Per
Cent. In Rural Districts.
In the Cities only SIX Per Cent OF
Voters Cannot Read and Write,
and IN the Country Thirteen
Per Cent

Washington, Aug. 26.-The census
Office has issued a preliminary report
Of iliteracy among men Of voting
age in city and county districts in
the census year 1900. The report in
eludes under the term 'Illiterate"
those who can neither read nor
write, and also a small number who
can read, but cannot write. In the
United States as a whole, excluding
Alaska and Hawaii, the male pOpula-
ton at least 21 years Of age and liv-
ing in cities having at least $4,000 in
habitants was 5,ss5, GA, Of whom
339, 225, or six per cent, were re-
ported as iIliterate. In the rest OF
the country the number Of men of
voting age was 1925, SIS, of whom
1913, 247, or - per cent, were re-
ported as iIiterate.
These figures indicate that Hit
eracy among adult males is less than
half as prevalent in the large cities
as it IS IN the rest Of the United
States. The difference, the report
says, is due largely to the fact that
the urban population Of the country
Is massed in the northern and west
ern states, and illiteracy is less fire.
