entitled, Alaskan Glacier Studies, - which is of the greatest value.
 The scientists made careful observa- tions of the Childs glacier and photo. graphed it from time to time when tN was moving along at the rate of 90 or 40 feet daily. One of them describes tho changes from day to day. They would come out in the morning to find tons of ice resting where there cameras had stood the day previous and to see . great tree perhaps 100 years old prone on the ground with it's butt beneath the glacier. The night before the same tree had been upright and the ice some dis tance away. In this movement the rca tore trees out by the roots. It acted live so many mighty blows. ripping up the earth to bed rock, and carrying the turf and bushes along Level 10 or 1s feet higher than that of the plain
 It was this movement of the ChiIds glacier that was advanced as one of the reasons why the United States govorn- ment should not choose the Copper River and Northwestern railway route as the best entrance to the interior of AIngka The opponents of that route calimed that the glacier would some time advance so as to cover the railroad and wipe out the tracks One end of the glacier Is now not more than 1900 feet from the bridse, and l am told that the ice has advanced that much in single season. If this id so, the finger known as the north 1oha = the glacier will some day swallow tha bridge. On the other hand, the advcoatag of the Copper River valley route claiu. there is little danger of such an event and that it could easily be reredied should it occur.

 The de Smythe apartment is nicely fur nished, and the de Smythes make quite an appearance As George Ade would say, they have climbed high enough upon the social ladder to be snubbed by the best people.

which cost more than $1,5O0, 900 to build, and then goes on it's way up the noun tains.
 Think of riding on a railroad for two hours or more with glaciers in sight almost all the way. The Copper River valley is a great glacial garden. Just east of Eyak lake is Scott glacier, which is a mile wide and six miles in length. It is only seven miles from the track, but is of so little account that it is seldom placed on the map. Sheridan glacier is about Is miles from Cordova and within two miles of the railway. This glacier rises in snow fields about mile above sea level and ends in a great bulb- shaped tongue which is only four miles in length ands three miles in width The terminus is g. mighty pear of ice l 50 feet above sea level.
 A little east of Sheridan glacier is Sherman glacier, which flows south westward for a length of over seven miles and not far from the railway is Pickett glacier, an ice tongue more than four miles in length. And then there are Saddlebag glacier. which is south of Pickett, and Goodwin glacier, which expands into a bulb of two or three miles in width where it enters the valley. The McPherson glacier, which can also be seen from the rail road, is seven miles long, while Good win has greater length by three miles or more.
 The two mightiest glaciers of the Copper river valley are the Miles and the Childs Childs glacier is within a quarter of mile or so of the track and Miles glacier is in plain sight as you sit in the cars facing the Childs glacier bridge. Of these two, the Miles glacier is by far the larger. It rises in the snowfields of the noun tains and it is probably 50 miles long. Where it enters the Copper river val ley it spreads out in great blub, which at the end is six and one-half miles across It is about 12 and one half miles around the whole front. The waters of the glacier flow into the Copper river, but there is also a lake in front of it which is about two miles in width and four miles in length.
 Our train stopped on a switch near the bridge, in plain sight of both g1a- ciers, and we had an hour or so to look at the Childs glacier which is within 10 minutes walk of the railroad. We left the cars and made our way over trail through thicket of green bushes twice as high as our heads. We crossed open places where there were great patches of pink blossoms and ferns and grass that reached to our waists As

it all has to be transported from here to the smelters at Tacoma, 1900 miles away. With smelters at Cordova, the cost of reduction would be greatly de- creased and new mineral regions could be opened up. At the same time, the coal from the Bering river field would have local market, and both the coal and the ore would furnish steady and valuable traffic to the railway.
 The Copper river and Northwestern road now reaches the town of Chitina and the extension from there to Fairbanks would require 313 miles more to be built. The cost of this the Taft commission esti- mated at something like $14,0oo, 000 The Copper river road,sI am told here, was of fered to the government at it's physical valuation, or at it's cost to the own CTS, which was something like $1o, 900, ,000 making a total for the through line of $29, 100000. The extension of the road would have passed through the rich farm ing lands of the Tanana valley and the mineral reesons developed thereby would have been 1reater, it is said, than those reached by N1e extension of the Alaska. Northern railway. t>s Copper river route to Fairbanks would have been IS miles shorter than the road now being con- structed, and it would have had the ad- vantage of a terminus 200 miles nearer Seattle. As it is now the steamers go- ing to Seward call at Cordova on the way.
 The Copper River and Northwestern railway is one of the picturesque routes of the world. It is the only railroad that carries you right to the foot of mag nificent glaciers and allows you to ex- anime these greatest wonders of nature while the train stops. Within an hour of our arrival at Cordova an excursion train started out from the wharf, and the tourists on board were carried distance of about 50 miles up the Copper river valley to the Miles and Childs glaciers. two mighty rivers of ice that stand al- most facing each other on opposite sides of the track.
 Leaving Cordova the road winds around the hills high over the water, it hangs to rocky cliffs, which are covered with a dense vegetation. little later it en- ters the mouth of the Copper river valley and skirts Eyak lake, which fills de- pression scooped out by some prehistoric glacier. The lake is star-shaped and is almost entirely shut in by high wooded mountains, which rise abruptly from the waters edge. The road goes for four miles along the winding shores of this lake, and then crosses the Eyak river, which carries the glacial waters of the lake out to the sea. It is by this river

we went onward the stones and bowl ders increased in number. and upon leaving the bushes we entered the ter minal moraine of the glacier, which is made up of rocks of all sizes down to pebbles as big as a pea.
 The vegetation had now disappeared and we stood on the bank of a river whose glacial waters looked like skim milk We were right under a mighty ice wall that ascended straight up from the water to a greater height than that, of the dome of our capitol at Washing ton. This wall is washed by the river. It extends along the banks of the stream for a length of four miles and runs backward for more than 10 miles up the valley. It is composed of broken and uneven cliffs of pale green ice. from which ice masses are continually falling. It is estimated that more than eight bil- lion pounds of ice break off from 1t every year. That would be enough to load a train of cars 800 miles long, or enough to to give 80 pounds to every man, woman and child in the United States and leave some to spare.
 We could see the ice blocks breaking off as we stood under the wall on the opposite bank of the milky river. First came a cracking, which sounded like battery of heavy artillery Then a mass of pure white, weighing thousands of tons, broke loose from the glacier It seemed to hang in midair for an instant. It then plunged down into the stream with a thunderous roar, sending up a high cloud of spray A moment later the mist had cleared away and the ice block or berg could be sen rising and falling, sending waves in pillows almost to our feet.
 The breaking of the ice is caused by the melting, and also by the force of the great ice river as it flows slowly down from the heights The movement of the glacier varies in speed from time to time. During the years 1906, 1907 and 1908, it came forward only two or three feet day, but in 1909 it's motion in- creased to five or six feet and in August, 1910, it was advancing at the rate of 30 or 40 feet daily. After that it began to subside, and in June, 1911. it was mov- ing at less than two feet per day When the motion was at it's height the move ment of the glacier was observed by some of the scientists of the National Geographical society, who were sent to Alaska to investigate and describe it's wonderful glaciers. The investigations covered three years and they were made at cost of about s17.Ooo, paid by that society. Their work has thrown a new light upon the ice age of America and 1t has been recently embodied in a book
