RIVERS FROM GLACIERS.
Those lea Born Streams Gush Forth
Milky White In Color.

Some rivers are formed by a rather
slow process. Fed by springs or small
ponds. they issue forth as mere rivu-
lets to be REINFORCED by other streams
until they have reached a size that en-
titles them to be termed rivers. Some,
like the St Lawrence, having their
source In some extensive lake, pass
through no intermediate state, but pro-
coed as full fiedged rivers directly upon
their course to the sea.
Others emerge with a rush and roar
from the heart of glaciers located far
up on the sides of lofty mountains.
The waters Of these glacier born rivers
are not crystal clear, as many suppose,
but are milky white, due to the lava
dust and powdered scoria contained I'm
the ice mass. This color the waters re-
tain for miles as they flow through the
lowlands, proclaiming their parentage
to the observant eye.
From the rugged sides Of Mount
Rainier, which rises to a height OF
over 1900 feet and which John Muir
declares Americas noblest mountain,
twenty glaciers radiate like the arms
OF u gigantic starfish. From each OF
these springs a river.
The great Nisqually glacier. one of
the largest on the mountain, is 400 feet
In height From a cavern in the ice
mass a large stream, called the Ms
Qually, bursts forth with a boom and
goes rushing down the valley and final
ly empties into the waters of Puget
sound. 1t is seldom indeed that one
witnesses the formation of river IN
der such favorable surroundings

Better Drainage.
By A. d. Campbell.

We are all for better roads, some
thinking of expensive ones, others
of moderate cost ones and still
others of cheaper ones. But we are
all for better ones and In this con-
neCtion | desire to suggest that as
a slogan we can all stand for and
call for better drainage. During
April and early May / drove over a
thousand miles in southern Wis
consin and northern Illinois, doing
this when the roads were at their
worst SO that l might better under
stand the road problem.
Some talk concrete, some macad-
am, some surfacing, some oiling
and some dragging, but after this
thousand miles of strenuous driv-
ing and being pulled out of the
mud more than once-I want to
talk drainage, just simple, plain,
everyday drains such as can be
made with a plow-that is the cure
for most of Our road trouble.
1t was singular of this thousand
miles of April and early May roads
that vast percentage of the al
most impossible places were at the
highest points-the very crown of
the ridges. Why? In most cases
twenty minutes work with a plow-
if done at the right would
have kept these spots in good con-
dition.
Think of it, Miserable holes on
the crowns of ridges
The Wisconsin Advancement
Association is just completing a
comprehensive system of route
marking, a map of which will soon
be published. We are doing this
at financial loss, but expect it
will bring thousands of tourists in
to the state where they will spend
large aggregate of money each
year. Can we not have the bad
places (anyhow those on the
crowns of the ridges) drained so
that drives through the state will
be pleasant.

Tho Early Drum.

Drums are probably an eastern idea
introduced by the crusaders into Eu-

in accounts of the first crusade. When
Edward III. of England and his queen
made triumphal entry into Calais In
134T ''tambOurs" were among the in
struments which were played in their
honor. Another of these was called a

gether with its name. from the Arabs
The poet Chaucer also mentioned this
instrument In his description OF the
tournament In THE knights Tale"
The king generally kept troop OF
these bandsmen or MINISTRIES In his en-
ploy. and we read that Edward IL. on
one occasion gave sum OF 60 shillings
to Roger, the trumpeter; Janino. the
nakerer. and others for their perform

When the land for the present CAPT

fields. In Walks About Washington"
an old story good enough to be true is
told about one David Burns, a canny
Scot, who held out 50 long that Presi-
dent Washington personally undertook
his conversion. After pointing out to
the farmer what advantages he would
reap from having the government for
