George Stevens an American, who. ac-
cording TO the purser O: the White Star
liner Arabic. in yesterday. completed re-
Gently a three months sentence in an
English prison. got ashore before the local
sleuths had a chance &c look at him. Stevens
10 ~ years old. and N condition that no

time his sentence was mitigated. The
purser said that the order for Stevens's
expulsion from England was signed by
Herbert Gladstone. a Secretary of State,
and that Stev,ns was characterized as a
rogue and a vaRlbond." Stevens said that
his wife had acquired and kept the pro-
ceeds OF his ~swindllng. He had a berth
in the second cabin IA ost Of the trip, but
when the ahip locked he ducked TO the
eteeraye and got ashore. with hand baggage

SWISS GLACIERS SHRINKING.
Measurements show That Some or tho
Leading Ones Are Growing smaller.

Special Cable Despatch 10 TIE SUN.
BERNE, July 27.-After the extremely
hot summer OF 1893 the results Of the scien-
tifc glacier measurements in the Swiss
Alps have been looked forward TO with more
than usual interest. The official figures
just published confirm the theory that the
Swiss Alpine glaciers are diminishing per-
ceptibly.
The Durand glacier, near Final, lost fifty
feet in 1909, and altogether has lost i,5o3
feet since 1902; the lower Grindelwald glacier
and the Great Aletsch glacier have lost 40
and $40 feet respectively in the samep periods;
the Saint Fleuron - and 1915 feet in the
two periods and the Corner 70 and Ss3 feet
respectively.
Tn Great Rhone glacier. which is a
favorite subject Of study Of the Swiss
Geodetic Society, lost in the last two years
an ice area Of ~, $50 square feet. A notable
exception to the general shrinkage Is the
Eiger glacier. which in 1906 gained II.
feet in length.
Altogether sixty-three glaciers were ex-
amined and measured. The results show
that fifty-three receded, one remained
unchanged and nine slightly increased in
length. Experience has shown that these
increases are never permanent and are
almost invariably counterbalanced by
shrinkages in width and depth.
