TIE Creep Of
IN Glacier.

luspyright, 1907. by Mcclure Newspaper
Syndicate.l
Hans Britterman, the Swiss, PASSED
xne years OF his youth Lii the SHADOW OF
the Matterhorn and finally took his
place as guide.
One day Professor Huxley Of the
hoyal Geological society arrived at
Hans native village for months
stay. After week he decided to ven
ture up the Matterhorn to study the
glacial river further. He had been
there each year for five years, and the
frozen river was his subject. The pro-
lessor was quiet thoughtful man,
and his trips had always been made
with only his guide for company. He
20 arranged it on this occasion, only
that his guide happened to be Hans
Britterman for the first time. Not a
mile from bis home great wall of ice
fifty feet high. from which huge blocks
split Off at intervals Of yenrs, invited
the attention of tourists as the mouth
OF the frozen stream.
His surveys proved beyond doubt
that the mighty tumble Of snow and
Ice and rock stretching for q mile be-
fore him moved down into the valley
at the rate of seven inches a year. 1t
was movement so mighty and steady
that no power on earth could cllecEit.
Seven inches a year." unused the
professor as he looked over the jun
ble-"seyen, and no more, no less. A
mighty mass fifty feet thick goes
grinding down into the valley, crush
ing and overriding everything, and
should man fall into the creyasse be-
fore me am able to compute the time
! when his head and frozen body would
appear In sight In the valley, three
miles away. 1t would take hundreds
Of years, but IL would be found"
The statement aroused the guides
curiosity to the greatest degree, and
he found himself doubling it. Neither
his father nor his grandfather had ever
made such a statement. They had not
even contended that the mass moved.
/ what assurance on the part OF an en-
tire stranger ito appear and make such
statement land claim to be able to
fully corroborate 1t! Hans was piqued
, and vexed. He finally became lndig-
nant. 1t seemed like criticism on his
own knowledge Of the mountains.
) "Can It be SO? Can 1t be so?' he kept
asking himself, and he walked away q
few steps to contemplate the tumble
and wonder what was going on forty
, feet below. His flesh crept as he
! thought Of falling into the deep Gre
vase to be entombed alive, to freeze
7 and die, to be carried along with the
Irresistible movement for hundreds OF
years and then appear Incased in the
Icy wall In the valley. It would be a
horrible doom, but was the professor
correct In his computations? 1t was a
new train of thought for the young
