Grasshopper glacier. at the headwa-
ters Of the East and West Rosebud riv-
ers In the Beartooth mountains Of
Montana. derived its name from the
myriads Of grasshoppers Embedded In
the perpetual ice Of that neighborhood.
Many Of the specimens are as perfect
as II preserved In alcohol for exhibi-
tion. In the opinion of scientists who
made a first hand study Of the glacier
the insects were caught In a periodic
southwark flight and succumbed to the
cold In their attempt to cross the noun
tain range. The huge ice mass. under
whose crust the grasshoppers are bur-
led. is virtually under the shadow Of
Granite peak, 1882 feet high. the high
est in Montana. Only recently has Its
existence as a perpetual glacier been
verified, though as long rs forty years
lgo it was additionally known in early
Montana mining camps and mountain
towns. 1t was considered then merely
a fanciful tale Of pioneer p~rospectors
and fur trappers who had penetrated
t the upper reaches Of this branch OF
the rugged RockieS.-Argonaut.

VACATION PLAY GROUNDS.
Increased Attendance-New Grounds
Opened In SummerviIIe.

The success of the Summer street
play ground last. week was indeed en-
couraglng to those who are interested
IN promoting the work. Between so
and 70 children from different parts
Of the town were present at each
session. Increase in mum bers added
to the enthusiastic spirit Of co-opera-
ton in play which is fast becoming
a characteristic of the playground
During the week several new games
and few simple folk dances were
learned under the direction of the
leader, Miss Mabel Houghton. The
story hour is rapidly increasing in
popularity and the choice Of stories
told is making this hour really valu-
able from the standpoint of literature
as well as intensely interesting. The
story tellers for the week were Mrs.
Alice Richie, Josephine Lougee and
Miss Houghton.
Another feature of the playground
which especially interests the Iittlest
youngsters is the sand box. Last
week this same sand box was the site
OF huge circus and a battle field
with real tents, while even a minia-
ture st. Johnsbury was built there.
Assistants for the week were the
Misses Anderson, Stone, Cary and
Lougee. Those in charge this week
are Miss Helen Boynton, who has had
a wide experience with children. Miss
Stone and Miss Anderson.
Perhaps the best news of all is the
very successful opening of the Sum-
merville playground this week, with
Miss Gratia Balch as the enthusiastic
leader. Miss Balch reports large
numbers, splendid spirit and very
promising results. AS soon as it can
be arranged the same amount of
equipment will be available there as
is now on Summer street Miss Sigrid
Eklof has volunteered to assist by
teaching folk dances and will begin
this week.
Owing to the extremely hot weather
Miss Balch is introducing simple bas-
kerry and other forms of hand work
which will appeal to those who find it
rather too strenuous to play in the
hot sun.
Those connected with the play
ground work cordially invite all chill
dren who care to come to do so, as
increase in numbers always means
increased enthusiasm and interest.
