There is. however. one point upon
which the couturiers agree and that is
the fall OF the "martingbale." which
means the passing OF the skirt drawn

we are still in the dark as TO whether
skirts will be narrow this fall and win

carried away. A house owned by Mr..

PHENOMENON IN ALASKA.

Juneau, Alaska, July 12.-The
great glacier in Rainey Hollow, near
Haines, Alaska, is moving at the rate
of twelve feet q day. Huge mass es
of ice are falling with thunderous
noise over the precipice at whose
brink the glacier discharges.
This is a season of the glaciers ad
vance all over Alaska. Never has
such rapid extension Of the ice rivers
been known in the history of the
world. The theory is that ayalanches
caused by earthquakes are respon.
sible for the increased flow. The
National Geographical society has an
expedition in Alaska studying the
phenomenon.
