THE AALLETT eLAclER.

How Thfa Great Tee Field of the
Rockies Was discovered.
The history OF the discovery OF this
glacier is an interesting one. An old
bear hunter ehanced upon the 6eld ON
Mummy mount, which he called ''the
largest snow field in the Rockies Be
fore his death, which occurred shortly
after. he mentioned this discovery to a
gentleman then living in Denver who
devoted much time to the exploration
OF new mountains and strange locaIi-
ties In and about his neighborhood.
In 1882 this gentleman, Mr.. Hal
lett, visited the spot entirely alone. In
trying to ascend the north side of the
ice field he suddenly broke through the
bridge of hidden crevasse. but by
extending his elbows he managed to
extricate himself from his perilous po-
sition and returned in safety to his
camp This incident finally led him to
wonder whether this might not be a
glacier. In 1886 and 1887 Mr.. HaIIett,
in company with an experienced noun
taineer who was as familiar with the
Alps rs with the Rockies, twice revis-
tied the spot. Upon the first of these
expeditions, after a careful examina-
fion. the true nature of this vast ex-
panse Of snow and ice was for the first
time positively determined. Here in
the heart OF Colorado existed a true
glacier. showing crevasses. moraines-
In short. all the characteristics of the
well known Alpine glaciers OF Switzer-
land To this was given the name 1t
now bears, "Hallett glacier" in honor
OF the man who in such startling
way made the first real discovery.-St.
Nicholas.

A writer who spent much of his ear
ly life in Turkey observed that Turk
ish books and booksellers were among
the curious features of the country.
''The Turkish BOOKSELLER" he said, '.has
soul above trade. He rarely or new
er attempts to push his wares and
treasures some of his more valuable
books so greatly that he can hardly be
induced to sell them. although they
form part of his stock in trade Many
OF the books displayed by the book
seller are in manuscript, which the
old d1fashioned Turks esteem more high

not sell. He gives it away In return

Transfer of Music Through Beams.
The following beautiful experiment,
described by Professor TyndaIl, shows
how music may be transmitted by an
ordinary wooden rod: In a room two
floors beneath his lecture room there
was a piano, upon which an artist was
playing. but the audience could not
hear 1t. A rod OF deal, with it's lower
end resting upon the sounding board of
the piano. extended upward through
the two floors, its upper end being ex-
posed before the lecture table. But
still not a sound was heard.
A violin was then placed upon the
end OF the rod, which was thrown in
to resonance by the ascending thrills,
and instantly the music Of the piano
was given out in the lecture room. A
guitar ana harp We're substituted for
the violin and with the same result.
The vibrations OF the piano strings
Were communicated to the sounding
board, they traversed the long rod,
were reproduced by the resonant bod
fes. the air was carved into waves, and
the whole musical composition was de-
Hvered to the listening audience.

PRESIDENT L1NcoIN's FAvoRIrE
Oh why should the spirit of mortal be proud2
Like a swift floating meteor, fasthying cloud,
A fash of lightning a brake of the wave,
Man passeth from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves of the oak and willow shall fade
Be scattered around and together be laid
the young and the old, and the low and the high,
Shall moulder to dust and together shall lie.
The infant and mother attended and loved
The mother that infants affection proved
The husband that mother and infant who blessed,
Each all away to their dwellings of
The maid on whose cheek whose brow in whose eye,
shone beauty and pleasure her triumphs are by;
And the memory of those who loved her and praised
Are alike from the minds of the living erased
The hand of the king the sceptre hath borne
The brow of the priest that the mitre hath
The eye of the sage and the heart of the brave
Are hidden and lost in the depths of the grave
The peasant whose lot was to sow and to reap
The heardsman who climbed with his goats the Steep
The beggar who wandered in search for his BREAD
Have faded away like the grass that tread.
The saint who enjoyed the communion of heaven
The sinner who dare remain unforgiven;
The wise and the foolish the guilty and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust
So the multitude goes, like the flower or the weed,
That .withers away to let others succeed
So the multitude comes, those behold
To repeat every tale that has often been told.
For we are the same our fathers have been;
We see the sights our fathers have seen;
We drink the same stream and view the sun,
And run the same course our fathers have run
The thoughts thinking fathers would think
From the death shrinking fathers would
To the life are clnging they also would cling,
But it speeds from us like bird on the wing.
They loved, but the story we cannot unfold;
They scorned, but the heart of the naughty cold
They grieVed but wall from their slumbers will Gomez
They ioyed but the tongue of their gladness dumb
They died; aye they died we things that are now,
That walk on the turf that lies their brow
mi their dyellin n tran ntabod
Meet the things that they met their pilgrimage
Yes hope and despondency. pleasure and pain,
We mingle together in sunshine and rain
And the smile and the tear, the song the dirge
Still follow each other, like surge upon surge.
IT'S the wink of eye, tits the draughts BREATH
From the blossom of health the paleness death;
From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud-
Oh l.why should the spirit of mortal be proud2

Afognak Letter.

vice of the Russian government or in the employment of the compan- les, selected Afognak island as a very desirable place for establish : ment of their homes.
 In those days, under despotic rule of Russia, the people were con- tented and happy; and when there was no government by the people for the people,7 all encouragement and assistance was given to settlers in building of homes and develop ment of natural resources without restriction on Afognak island.
 In those days, when the people were not living in the era of "stren- uosity," by utilization of natural resources various industries were maintained on Afognak island. They were cutting wood, manufac- turing boats, barrels, and various utensils of wood; they raised cat tie, hogs, potatoes, turnips, cured fish, and sent all surplus to other parts of Alaska.
 Now when the stars and stripes, the emblem of freedom, is waving over the island, and since the es- tablishment of the forest and fish reserves on Afognak island all is changed; no inhabitant is permit ted to cut for sale fire wood from timber that is uselessly maturing and decaying, nor catch for sale fish that uselessly perish-created by an all wise providence for the benefit of men.
 No means, whatever, by which a living could be made for themselves and their families are available to inhabitants of the island; they are compelled to seek employment hundreds of miles away from their homes to obtain necessaries beside fish for their little ones, and are often unsuccessful.
 In the name of common sense aad humanity. is it right that peo- pie should be in want in the midst of plenty?
 Is it right that the present in habitants-over 400 souls-shoulG be deprived of the rights enjoyed by their fathers and fOrefathers- the right to toll to sustain the lives of themselves and their families on their own island?
 They are not asking for material government aid, bu: permission to sell fish from Afognak island under certain regulations. A. F.
