Y1ELnING rp rrs DEAD.

An event of no little interest In con nection with glaciers is expected to take place some time this summer. In 1865 Lord Francis Douglas. in ascend ing the Matterhorn. in Switzerlsnd. was lost in a crevice and the body was never recovered. It Is expected that what is called the Zwatt gacier, on which the body was supposed to nave fallen. will deliver 1t up during the summer and steps will be taken to take charge of it if it appears.
 Many persons think of a glacier as simply an immense and stationary body of ice. but in that they are mis- taken. It has long been, known that they, or at least, most of them, have a regular forward motion. Scientists and there is also a difference In the speed at which they move. In ls42 MT. J. D. Forbes made some accurate observations on what is called the Mer de Glace of Chamouni and found that it's movement was about IT inches In twenty-four hours. These bodies move at different velocities at different sea- sons but enough has been learned to calculate with some degree of certain ty the distance one will advance in year, and 1t Is on this theory that the hope for the recovery of Lord Douglass body during the present summer IS based.
 There will be something pathetic. as well as interesting in the fulfllment of this prediction. if it comes true. If, as is probable, the body has been in- cased in ice during all these forty years 1t will not have changed in ap- pearance from what it was at the time of his death. It will appear no older, nor will there likely be any appearance of decay, Of his immediate family there is one sister, Lady Francis Dixie. who has issued an appeal to all who may visit the scene of the accident during the summer to interest them selves in looking for the body of her brother. While the friends and asso- ciates who knew him will have passed into the wrinkles and gray hairs of old age, he will be just as they last saw him. With him time will have stood 
 as one raised from the dead, and se have little doubt that the sight of him will be shock to those who knew him In life.
 We remember somewhere to have read a story of a young man who lost his life in the same manner. Fifty years afterwards the body came to light, encased in translucent ice. and retaining the exact appearance in col or, form and feature that 1t did when the strong man went down to his death. By a strange coincidence the woman who had been his youthful sweetheart was present when the body appeared. Aged, gray, wrinkled and decrepit she presented strange con- trast to the bright youth who now lay before her, and from whom she had parted half a century before. It was a meeting of death and life, but the dead was the fresher and handsomer. | Some such contrast as this may result when Lord Douglas comes to light.

A RIG SUM FOR GOOD ROADS.

Great interest Is felt in the outcome of the effort to promote good roads in New York. There is to be vote upon a constitutional amendment for the is- suance of $50,000,o00 in bonds to build good roads, Under the amendment, If it passes, the counties and towns will add $50, .OOO to this fund; the State standing 50 per cent. of the expense, the counties 35 per cent, and the towns 15 per cent. Provision would thus be made for about 7.5Oo miles of gravel or macadam roads in all parts of the State: and certainly no money could be better invested. As The Louisville Courier Journal says. "the roads of the United States as a rule are abominable. The whole country has not more than one-tenth the mileage of good roads that France alone has. If we would boast less of our cockadoodledoo supe- riority to the rest of mankind and build better roads we should have more cause for boasting." Wherever the good road policy has been adopted in Alabama the people are well pleased with the result. Those who live where they can use them are practically in- dependent of the railroads.

 One of the advocates of the claims of William R. Hearst to the Presiden- cy last year was Hon. Charles A. Towne, of New York, formerly of Min nesota. The two have had a falling out, as has been shown in a recent suit of Hearst's to recover $6,00O from his former friend. It seems that in February, 1904. MT. Towne gave MT. William R. Hearst a promissory note for $6,OOO. The Supreme Court of New York has ordered judgment against MT. Towne, whose defence was that MT. Hearst had lent him the money with the understanding that he was to write various newspaper articles, but that he had not done so because he has not been asked to do so. although he has been ready to perform the service for which he had been paid. When Mir. Towne borrowed the money he was an active supporter of MT. Hearst for the Presidency, but when he went to the St. Louis Convention he was himself a candidate for the nomination, and, ac- cording to The New York Evening Post, "the arrangement of the borrow CT and the lender dates from the change of attitude on the part of the former"

 cOmmOdated in Several States. Minneapolis Times.
 South Carolina, with 14,0O0,O0O acres of unoccupied land, has come forward with plan that seems to offer much in way of solving the immigration prob lem. The State needs new white blood to work the mines and fields, and while this situation has been made known for many years in the usual way, 1t has not brought such results as are desiro1. Now the State has opened headquar:ers in New York City. under the charge of the State Commissioner of Immlgra- tion, and an effort will be made to di- rect newcomers to the opportunities in
 It is a fact that a. very large propor- tion of the immigrants reaching New York have no definite idea of where they can locate to the best advantage, main in the cities to eke out a mi5er- able living. Could they but know tnat broad acres awaited their wiling hands. and that rewards for labor in that directon would exceed anything of- fered by the big cities, it is believed that they would gladly take advantage
 The South is peculiarly suited by cli- mate and resources to the people A1f Southern Europe, but they are not gen orally informed of this The consn- ceive its share of the immigration, while other parts of the country, and the large cities. are becoming over crowded.
 Yet 1t cannot be said that there are too many people in this country so long as vast tracts of land remain untitled for lack of workers, and, after all, it may be that the most serious problem in connection with Immigration is that of distribution. If South Carolina should get enough immigrants to work the situation would be much improved at once.
