ITALIANS AS FARM HELP.
Said by Their Representative coun
trymen to Be Capable and
Industrious.

Signor Pietro Isola has project to
supply American farmers with Italian
help, reports the Boston Globe. 'lta-
lians," he said, were never appreciat-
ed in this country. Illiteracy is not ig-
norance if 1t we're, there would be
little of it among Italians.
"They are expert farmers in respect
to the climate Of their own country.
They understand all grains well, and
in fruit culture they are far ahead OF
most Americans, especially in grating
7 know one who has acclimated the fig
rec, not with the purpose, at first, OF
making the fig tree commercial sue
cess here, although it is coming to
that.
These Italian farmers are asking II
there Is not something for them to dc
in America besides digging in the
streets and sewers. At a recent meet.
ing of grangers | unfolded this subject
and it was taken up with enthusiasm,
with a promise to do all possible tc
induce the farmers of New England &c
employ the sons of Italy. They are
not drunkards; they are intelligent and
they are faithful.
1.-THE farmers fear the difficulty OF
language: but they employ other for.
eigners-Poles, French and others
without trouble, and the Italians learn
more readily than either, and besides
they understand the language of ges'
t,,rne haitian tbop ouy nthprg
LAS the Chinese were excluded, the
farmers of California began to look
about for the next best, and they found
them in Italians, and now they are
scattered half over the state, more
than one-half the inhabitants of So
mona county being of that race.
There is no better farmer on earth
than the Italian-intelligent, industri'
Gus and faithful to the last degree. II
he comes into New England the benefit
will be not so much to him as to the
farmer.
Anyone, whether he be farmer, o
common laborer or anything else
makes a mistake if he opposes the tia.
liam farmer. He would restore the idle
farms, as no one else can.
IF ever there was an undiscovered
country of farm lands in the world
that country is Massachusetts. People
are struggling in their crude way with
hay and corn to get yield of So to $25
an acre, while the Italian would coax
from the willing soil fortune"

MOVEMENT OF A GLACIER.
One a Mile Long in Southern Rock
les Shifted Twenty-Seven
Feet in Year.

1t had long been supposed that no
true glaciers remain in the Rockies
south of Wyoming, a supposiuon now
known to be incorrect, says Junius
Henderson, in Harpers Magazine.
North of Longs Peak two ice fields
have been described and referred to as
glaciers by men whose determinations
are entitled 20 considerable weight,
though on the whole they partake
more of the nature Of neve and are SO
considered by some biologists. This
difference of opinion is entirely ex-
cusable on the ground that the divid-
ing line between neve and glacier is
indistinct, "the one passing into the
other by inse..sible graduation" How
ever, explorations carried on in the
last five years have brought to light
an ice stream which is so distinctly
a glacier as to leave no chance for a
dispute as to it's character. 1t has been
visited by experienced biologists,
mapped, photographed and thoroughly
studied
Arapahoe glacier is about a mile
long and is situated amid scenery as
inspiring as any in the southern Rock
les. 1t occupies an amphitheater or
| glacial cirque upon the east side of the
Arapahoe Peaks, the peaks and their
thin, sharp, serrated connecting ridge
forming the semi-circular rim of the
cirque, the ridges running eastward
from the north and south peaks form
ing the walls of the ancient glacial
valley, The highest point on the rim
of the cirque is 1900 feet above sea
level
No measurements were necessary to
convince our first exploring party that
the ice was moving To the student oil
glacial phenomena the evidence or
every hand was easily read as a print
ed page and as convincing as mathe-
NAUTICAL demonstration, but it remained
to determine the rate of movement
Consequently, on a later visit, we sci
up the instruments on the granite
north wall and placed line of zinC
tablets across the face of the ice. Re
turning exactly one year later. WI
found that the tablets had moved il
amounts varying from 11,15 feet at
point 300 feet from the edge, to 81
feet at a point near the center.
