THE FADING GLACIERS.
Curious Notes by n Swiss Scientist
Who Has Been Making Obser-
vatlons Among the Alps.

"A well-known Swiss naturalist, H. NJ.
Correvon, writes from Arolla, Canton
Ealais, reports the Paris Messenger.
The glaciers seem to be fading int o
the shadows of their former selves,
real skeletons encircled by their white
or black moraines. They are diminish
ing everywhere.
Il remember in July, 1886, Prof. F.
A. Forel the famous expert in geology,
took us to a glorious ice grotto which
he had discovered 20 minutes walk
away from the hotel at Arolla. We
were able to walk there without diff
fculty as in an ice corridor. Now not
only has the grotto disappeared, but
it takes an hour and a quarter to reach
the glacier from the hotel.
During the first days of October IS
years ago l traversed with two guides
the glacier of Bersnl from Zermatt to
Arolla; it then reached deep down int o
the valley, nearly touching the gla-
cier of Arolla. To-day we mounted up
to 500 meters within the Pass of Ber-
tol without any difficulty.
"M Anzeoug, who has stayed at
Arolla every summer since 1860, be-
lieves firmly that the glaciers which
separate this territory from Italy will
disappear as the years go by, and that
the cattle of the Valasian peasants
will be sent to market to Aosta Utaly)
across the passes which are now COW
cred with ice
1.-The one curious advantage in this
diminution of the glaciers is that the
moraines of Arolla are now producing
yeritable forests, the seeds of which
must have been blown up by the wind
from the valley.
