lists who are watching and studying
the growth and eventual retreat,
which according to their estimation Is
likely to occur shortly. Woods, barns,
pastures and fields, whatsoever may
obstruct the downward course of these
gigantic masses of ice are relentlessly
overwhelmed and buried.
These alternate advances and re-
treats of glaciers are known all over
the world. wherever people dwell in
high mountain valleys. During cold
and rainy eras the glaciers grow;
during warm, dry eras they recede.

derstands the relation between gla-
ciers and the precipitation of moisture
on the mountains that in the last
quarter Of the past century when
there was a project on foot to food
the Sahara Desert,>it met with strong
opposition in Switzerland, as the Swiss
are under the impression that a huge
expanse of water in North Africa
would permanently increase the snow
fall in their country. Whether the ir-
rigation OF such an immense tract OF
land in Northern Africa could have
an atmospheric influence on the Swiss
Alps is a question which the glaciers
will in all probability solve some day.
for recent reports have 1t that the
French Government has authorized a
project to irrigate a large part of the
Sahara with water from the Niger
River.

bountiful supplies. When the rivers
of the plains begin to shrink and
dwindle within their parched beds. the
torrents of the Alps, fed by melting
snow and glaciers, rush down from the
mountains and supply the deficiency.
And so the traveller in summer may
listen to the streams and torrents
pouring down their sub-glacial beds;
and when he reaches the foot of the
glacier he will probably behold an i'm
mense domed arch composed of Ice
which has been formed by the action
of these little streams melting there.
There are man, of these ice-caverns in
the glacial regions of the Alps, which
remain until the thaw has reached a
certain point and then give way with
a crash.
Glaciers Are Growing
During the past decade several of
the Swiss glaciers have grown consid-
erably. While a slight forward move
ment was observed during 1909 and
1910, the excessively hot summer Of
1911 sufficed to counteract the same.
During the following years. however,
the advance became once more per-
ceptible and reached it's peak during
the summer of 1920, when these 9TH

lions. At that time it was discovered
that the nose of the Allalin glacier,
which descends from the Allalinhorn
into the saas Valley, east of the Ter
matt Valley. had actually advanced
more than forty yards within twelve
months.
A tiny blue-green lake, known as
the Mattmarksee, lies at the foot Of
the glacier and as the wall Of Ice
continues to descend the inhabitants
of the valley fear that the lake Will
ultimately be blocked up and that a
disaster will follow when the accumu-
lated water finally breaks out. The
problem has become so grave that en-
gineers are now seriously considering
plans for a natural outlet for this lake
which has an altitude of $685. feet
ais and is only is miles distant from
the lower end of the valley, register
ing an elevation of 2.140 feet ais at
the point where it joins the Rhone
Valley.
Village Threatened
One of the best known Swiss gla-
ciers, the Grindelwald glacier, in the
Bernese Oberland. has in recent a

portion underneath remains undis-
turbed, so that the rock finally rests
on a sort of pedestal. But when an
object of smaller proportions falls
upon the ice, 1t becomes heated much
more quickly than the ice. 1t then
melts the ice upon which 1t rests and
gradually makes a hole Of some depth.
Enormous "Pot-Holes"
In the course of ages these stones
slowly ground out holes in the rock
beneath and were left back when the
glacier receded. Striking remains of
this prehistoric glacial activity are
found i'm the famous Glacier Garden
of Lucerne which is situated in the
very heart Of the city. where nine
cauldrons, the largest 81 feet deep
and 81 feet in diameter afford a most
unique spectacle. Stones consisting of
gneiss, granite of the St. Gothard, and
alpine limestone are visible in the
"pot-holes." an eloquent proof of their
long wanderings from the Gothard
range in the south. Ten large glacier
mills are also found at Maloja, In the
Upper Engadine. and the effect of
early glacier movements is also clear
ly apparent on the granite walls shut
ting up the Grimsel.
There is NO doubt hat the glaciers
are of very great use in the economy
OF nature. They are the locked-up
reservoirs. the scaled fountains, from
which the vast rivers traversing the
continents of the globe are sustained.

snow. The snow browning the moun
tain tops is not of the variety we are
accustomed to see in the lower regions,
but can rather be described as a
fine, dry powder, which is formed into
a granular mass by the action of the
sun shining on it in the middle OF the
day; for what is thus partially melted
quickly freezes again each evening In
globular forms. Consequently a gla
cier is not slippery like ordinary Ice.
This process goes on year after year
and has gone since times immemorial
which accounts for the enormous size
of many of these streams. The upper
parts being less melted. present far
the most granular surface; and the
lower, getting more thoroughly dis
solved at times, is the most CONSOLE
dated ice. For this very reason the
Swiss themselves designate the upper
portion of a glacier as the "Neve" or
Firm" and the lower part only is
called glacier" derived from the
French "glace"-ice.
Thickness Varies
Many eminent scientists have at
tempted to measure the thickness OF
these formidable frozen streams, but
inasmuch as the ice fills up all the
deep as well as the shallow places in
its course down the mountains. 1t Is.
not surprising hat there has been a
marked difference in their respective
findings. De Saussure. the eminent
Swiss naturalist. calculated the thick
ness at 600 feet; Agassiz. a later ex-
plorer. found some holes registering
a depth of 7S0 feet; others discovered
a depth Of only $50 feet and conse-

quently estimated the average thick
ness of a glacier to be between 60 and
100 feet.
According to scientific research an
extraordinary expansion of these gla-
ciers. leading them down through the
valleys, across the lakes into the open
plains, takes place but once in many
thousands of years. Thus the last
expansion of this kind, for which act
ual geological proofs are still found in
many parts. dates back to some 10000
years ago.
Cracks Or Creyasses
The constant heavy pressure on the
glacial ice frequently causes splits of
large masses and forces it SO far to
separate that there is no chance of a
gradual rejoining. These cracks or

cealed by a treacherous coating of
snow. Their presence and location is
however generally known to the
guides, so that a glacier tour under
the leadership OF such men is a per-
fectly safe venture.
Almost all glaciers have what are
called "moraines" either at the sides
or down the center. These are beds
of stones. dirt and rubbish which col
