toppled into the sea from time to time
with reverberations like thunder.
Water splashed fifty feet high at each
fall and the sight was fascinating.
To-day the glacier assumes a differ
ent aspect. Erosion has worked out
new bay, which WILSON be charted,
and the glacier itself seems to have
two parts, the live part, from which
tcebergs break and fall with tremen-
dous noise, and dead arm, with land
forming between it and the sea.
This change is due to hill which
projected through the top of the ice
when Professor Muir was there. Now
that hilltop is a large mountain di-
viding the ice fields. The ice has also
receded four miles in the nine years.
The captain of the first steamboat
piloted in front of this glacier in re-
cent years was presented with sill

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TESTS
OF NAVAL ORDNANCE TO BE SECRET
Important Experiments Costing 100000 Planned to De
ternline Relative Efficiency Of Various Elements Is
OF Offence and Defence

Washington, d. C.-The expert
ments in naval ordnance, for which
the last naval appropriation act con-
tains an appropriation of 100000,
now available, will be conducted in
secret. For some time the naval ord
nance officers have been anxious to
conduct certain tests which require
much expense, and which could not
be made out of the usual allotment
for the naval bureau of ordnance. 1t
was not expected that Congress would
make provision for such purpose,
largely for the reason that objection
prevailed in some Quarters to the ex-
penditure of public funds in direc-
lions which did not always show tang
ible results. 1t was pointed out,
however, that the beneficial effect Of
tie tests would be no less real mere
ly because new material was not be-
ing acquired, There was much in
the way of theory which 1t was de-
sired to supplant by actual knowledge
obtainable only by tests. So many
questions have arisen among the ex-
perts as to the relative efficiency of
various elements of offence and de-
fence that they are highly gratified
to have an opportunity to settle them.
One of the most important tests is
that which will show whether the
armor now being placed on American
battleships will resist the projectiles
of high power guns at battle ranges.
Guns are now fired in tests at short
range with velocities which are esti-
mated to equal that which would
exist II the distance were what is
known as a battle range 1t is as
serted by many that the armor will
not serve it's purpose. Actual expert
ments in firing at such ranges against
armor supported In the same manner
as on battleship have never been
carried out, and no one knows what
the actual effect will be.
Another question is whether high
explosive shells will have the effect
claimed for them and whether the
pressure of the gases of such vio-
lent explosion will blow in the armor
side of a battleship. Then, too, it is
desired to know what will be the ma
terial effect of such explosives on the
personnel and whether the structure
OF the ship will stand it. Connected
with such an experiment is the de-
termination Of the maximum depth
to which twelve-inch shell will PEN
citrate the water at battle ranges and
the effect Of the explosions on the
underwater body. Tests will also be
conducted to determine the resist

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story of great discoveries or
inventions is always Of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct, was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words, before he could carry out his
plans he had to find food that would
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew that food which was a
brain and nerve builder .(rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with
the average man does not accomplish
the desired results. He knew that
the soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centres is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. The he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked stur-
diness and activity of the brain and
nervous system. making it a pleasure
for one to carry on the daily duties
without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant. but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming. and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of. G. w. Post. is to be seen
on each genuine package of Grape
Nuts.
