GLACIERS OF alaska
Some Are Retreating, but Many
Are Growing Larger.

Result Of Captain Cooks and Ad-

tlons In 1878 and 1894.

Washington.-It is very probable
that more American travellers are IA
miliar with the picturesque fiords and
glaciers of Scandinavia than have
viewed the Incompatible scenery af-
ka, where the somber inlets are bound
ed by sheer and towering cliffs and
where the great fields of slow-moving
snow-ice lose themselves in some bay
or inlet or pitch on suddenly into the
ocean itself. The stream Of visitors
to this splendid American scenery is
annually increasing In numbers. and
to those who indorse the See Amer
lea First" program Alaska offers a
magnificent field.
Alaska glaciers were probably first
known as the result of Captain Cooks
and Admiral vancouver's explorations
in 177s and 1894. some of the maps of
the early voyagers showing that GER
tain of the bays or fiords were ended
by vertical walls of ice, from which
blocks fell into the sea. In more re-
cent years discussions Of these huge
glaciers have been given in the re-

Many valuable data and important
measurements of glaciers In the Unit
ed States. Alaska. and elsewhere
have been brought together from time
to time, and 1t is probably the general
Impression that since the vast ice
sheet which covered the northern part
of North America began its retreat
the glaciers of the continent have been
continually shrinking. 1t is therefore
interesting to note from the illustra
tions and descriptions in bulletin 52e
that some of these Alaska glaciers are
progressing and growing larger rather
than retrogressing. many huge forests
being upturned and devastated by the
irresistible advance of the Ice. In 9th.
er glaciers the retreat within a period
OF ten years has been more than q
mile. The great magnitude of some
OF these glaciers is seen in the descrfp-
tions. which Indicate the height OF

than could stand at times. The first

but the second year It advanced all
around my leg and the itching was
terrible. 1 had to be very careful to
have my clothing around the affected
part very loose. At night time I often
happened to scratch the sore in my
sleep. Then had to stand up, get out

In spite of the marked increase In
use of automobiles all over the coun-
try. it is a well-known fact among
horse dealers that the right kind Of
harness hors Is scarce and high The
real lovers OF horse flesh still evince
a lively sentiment regarding their
equine friend. and this sentiment ex-
ploits itself in a practical way by good
prices for the first class light har-
ness horse. or roadster.
Style, speed. conformation and dis
position are the firm cardinal requis-
ties of high-class light. harness
horse. every quality above mentioned
Is a necessary one and In order as
mentioned. Without these four ac-
complishments an animal of the road
sted class cannot command the top

the light harness horse does not elicit
admiration, that without speed he
cannot keep pace with the times"
that without beauty of appearance or
conformation he will not set OFF hand
some trappings and equipage-and
lastly that lacking a docile disposi-
tion he is practically useless for the
purpose for which he is meant.
No animal used by man needs to
be SO carefully handled and trained
as the roadster. for oftentimes he Is
driven by women and children there

As 1t is a conceded fact among
horsemen that the American trotter
is the fastest light harness horse In
the world, It is natural to suppose
