GLACIER MOTION

Upon n plane-


Upon Plane
Tie motion of glaciers has been
scientifically defined rs that OF VS.
cous mass. partly sliding upon its bed
partly steering upon itself under the
influence of gravity In other words,
the motion resembles that of pitch
poured upon 4 table. which spreads.
not by the expansion of the bottom OF
the mass. but by the edges rolling
over above the lower stratum, which
is dragged by the table surface. 1t
was argued against this that ice was

Forbes was able TO show that glacier

distinct granular structure and that

LIGHT REFLECTION.
The R-ason Why Foam Always Ap-
p-ars White In Color
100000


p-nrs White In Color
When water is violently aSitated
small bubbles OF air are mixed up with
it. and thus foam Is formed. and its
whiteness Is due to the fact that when
light passes from one medium to an
other of different refractive index II
is always reflected. and this rejection
may be. so often repeated IS to render
the mixture imperyiouS to light
1t is. then. this frequency OF the re
flectiorS of the limiting surfaces OF
air and water that renders foam
opaque. and. as each particle reflects
light in all directions. so much light IS
reflected that tie mixture appears
white
To a similar cause Is due the white
ness of transparent bodies when crush
ed to powder The separate paruciea
transmit light freely. but the rehec-
tons ut their surfaces are 50 numerous
that the resulting effect Is white Thus
glass when crushed Is 4 white powder
and is opaque, but when it Is put IN
der water ii once more becomes trans
parent. because the water fills up the
intersticeS between the particles. and
the reflections are destroyed Salt and
snow are also common examples OF
this condition.

Solitary Among the Many.

Chicago Telegram to Plttsburg Dispatch.
A tall man, smooth shaver, with a
face that was marked with heavy
lines, stalked to and fro, threading
his way among the crowd that
thronged the lobby OF the Annex. He
nodded here and there. He bowed
frequently, but almost without ex-
ception his salutations we're unre-
turned.
He went to the desk several times
and made inquiries OF the clerks. He
scanned the registers. He sat down,
and almost Immediately got up
again. He bought newspapers, and
threw them aside unread.
Suddenly he caught sight Of a
group chatting on the floor and ap-
preached it. When hec came near the
members separated, after few whls-
pared words, and each gossiper went
his way, leaving the solitary man
Standing alone. Each time this hap
pened-and it was repeated more
than twice-his face took on q set
expression.
As he passed men put their hands
up to their mouths and whispered to
their companions. No one looked
him in the face with any sign of rec
ignition, but everyoaa gaz,d at him
alter he was gone. And still
he stalked about, iorsaken and avoid
ed as though he bore the pestilence.
