timepiece. How she came into pos
session of this watch, and later Of ii
counterpart, is thus told in the Boston
Transcript:
Years ago, in the days Of the Ed 2
pire, an American minister found It
necessary, Of course, on occasions to
seek an interview with the Emperor,
and In this he always was mindfal Of
the necessity Of making these inter
views as brief as possible and az with
drawing as soon as he cou}l from
the Emperor's presence, making it e.
sential for him to keep watch ON the
passing of time. How to do 30 was
q problem, for to consult ones watch
openly in the presence Of the royal
parsonage manifestly would be a great
breach of etiquette; yet in the audi
ence chamber there wss no hmepiecs
by which those received By the EN-
peror could be guided in the Iesst in
the matter Of time.
The American representative ut the
court Of France BY good fortune came
into possession Of 4 watch which was
extraordinary in its construction and
which made 1t possible for him to
tell nearly the correct time merely by
feeling Of the watch while it was con-
cealed in his clothing. This he could
do, with q little practice, in SO clever
a way that it could not be detected.
This proved safer for him than to rely
upon his judgment in the passing of
time during an interview granted by
the Emperor. and 1t is history that he
was particularly successful in conse-
quence in his diplomatic work.
1t is this same historic watch which
Helen Keller now owns, and it came
to her as a gift from Hon. John Hitz,
formerly consul-general from Switzer-
land to Washington, D. G. He was q
friend Of the ambassador from whom
he came into possession of the watch
Mr.. Hitz is superintendent Of the
Volta bureau for the diffusion and dis.
tribution of knowledge relating to the
deaf. He has long been one Of Miss
Keller's best friends. That the git
has been appreciated is shown by the
fact that Miss Keller has learned tc
tell the hour with remarkable accu
racy, or to within two minutes of the
exact time, wholly by the delicacy o,
her touch.
The second watch, which was MOI
eled on the plan of the original, was
presented to her by another friend
who had 1t made expressly for her IL

CLEAR THE ROAD

In boyhood days we used to go.
When winter winds blew chill,
With ruddy cheeks and nimble feet,
To coast down Martins Hill.
There was no halting ON tie way,
No one steered out or slowed"
We sped like mad down Martins Hill,
And shouted Clear the road"
Then one by one we put away
The much-bcloved sled,
And journeyed forth into the world,
Ambitions path to tread.
We babe good-by to Martins Hill
And youthhood's sweet abode,
And shouted in an undertone
For men to "Clear the roadw
We found along the paths of trade
Another Martins Hill;
With men. at break-neck pace acoast,
With voices loud and shrill
Who never halted on their way
Where fortunes fancies glowed,
Who shouted loud from morn till night
That warning, 'Clear the road!

II was saying that Judging from

THE SECRET OF THE GLACIER.

AS soon as men were able to walk
on "a glacier from one end to the 9TH
er, they began to look and search and
remember and compare, and finally
they discovered the secret Of the thing.
In "A Pleasure Book Of Grtndelwald,"
Daniel P. Rhodes describes this Sc
cret:
They knew at the outset that lee is
a very remarkable substance which DO
HAYES In manner peculiar to itself;
and they next learned that to three
Of tho properties Of ice to duo the
phenomenon Of glaciers.
First, its Elasticity permits Of Its
flowing downward, under sufficient
pressure, in the direction Of the least
resistance. Glaciers may, therefore. ac-
commodate themselves to the most tor
tuous valleys.
Another tribute Of ice, in respect
Of which IL il singular among viscous
bodies, il its inability to yield much
to tension; hence, when there IL q
strain upon II, owing to variations in
the direction or in the rate Of prog
ress Of a glacier. 1t is rent into great
assures called crevasses.
These crevasses do not, as Is some
times asserted, always penetrate to the
bottom Of a glacier, but are Of differ
emit depths and shapes. Usually these
crevasses extend in the direction Of
the width Of the glacier, but on very
steep incline they are often intersected
by longitudinal crevasses, and in this
manner are formed tall blocks Of Ice,
which are soon worn by the weather
into the beautiful pinnacles seen In the
ice-falls of most large glaciers.
It is a third attribute of ice which
enables a glacier to maintain itself 4
compact mass in spite Of all this fric-
ton. Where two pieces Of ice near
the melting point are brought into con-
tact they freeze together SO perfect
ly as to obliterate all traces Of thsir
original surfaces. To this property
of ice, which Mr.. Tyndall calls regela-
ton, is due not only the closing up of
crevasses, but also the very beginnings
of the glaciers themselves. 1t hap
pens this way:
In the higher regions Of the Alps
more snow falls in winter than Is melt
ed In summer; and constant re.
arrangement Of both che old snow and
the new Is being caused, winter and
summer, by the alienation between
heat and cold which occurs in clear
weather between each day and night.
The fresh dry snow is melted by the
sun and afterward frozen again in
granules Of ice.
With the frequent repetition Of this
process the particles become imper-
fectly fused together, forming that pc
culiar crust called neve, which con-
starftly increases in depth until the
lower part of it, according to the prin-
ciple Of regulation, is SO compressed
by the weight of the mass above it as
to become a fairly compact body OF
Ice, :hat seeks to escape by the mos
con yenient channel. This Is the begin
Ming of the glacier.
