AGAINST THE TIDE

. ESETTING you on every hand is
- the invisible tide which Is hourly
sweeping humans from their charted
course and carrying them into I'M
known waters.
The captains Of courage who have
gone before, weathered the treacher-
Gus currents and reached a secure ha-
ven, are the only ones who can tell
you what this opposing tide means to
the young or the inexperienced, or the
overconfident.
They will tell you how difficult It is
to keep your honor bright; how hard
1t is to steer away from temptation
or the habit of loose thinking; how
perplexing it is to avoid the sucking
shoals when you should keep cool.
You may pose for hero before the
world, but be careful lest the tide pull
you under and expose the fraud.
If your colors are false, beware!
for the tide knows them.
In spite of its purring voice and
shining face 1t Is a restless foe, a
bearer of no tales, silent destroyer
of ambition and wrecker of hope
when your star seems to glow the
brightest and you stand pulled up in
conceit before an admiring world.
Alasl for the man who in such a

Big words these, and out of the
ordinary. But it is absurdly easy to
see what an ecologist is He's really
botanist who is interested principal
ly in freak plant growth under freak
conditions
Now, Alaska has the largest glaciers
in the world outside of the Polar re-
gions. 1t also has many glaciers, 40
of them being of sufficient Importance
to have received names. And south
eastern Alaska is the place where they
perform most stupendously. The NAL
aspina glacier on the northwest shore
of Yakutat bay is larger than the
whole state of Rhode Island-about
1900 square miles. Hubbard glacier
extends inshore % miles, with many
feeders. 1t discharges icebergs con-
tinually from a front several miles
long and 2S0 feet high.
The Muir glacier, which was dis
covered by John Muir in 1879 and
bears his name, is a tremendous thing.
William Skinner Cooper, professor of
botany at the University of Mime
SOld anu CIldlIilull vi lltC OidClCl Day
committee of the Geological society, de-
scribes the sea front of Muir glacier
as q cliff of ice mile and half
long and 300 feet high. He says:
Every few minutes with a mighty
roar, a portion of the cliff breaks
away-a mass equal to a high cathe-
dral with pinnacles much resembling
church spires-or else million of
smaller fragments in a torrent of
rushing whiteness, and another ice
berg is born, or a whole brood of
little ones. Once | saw great col
of the cliff above the tide and at
least as much below separate itself
from the main mass, rise partially
from the water, topple and. sink ma
jectically in a graceful curve to the
sea. A few minutes later a series of
great waves rolled in at my feet
mile and half away.
ION another day stood on rocky
point about the same distance from
the Ice cliff. For an hour watched
1t, and during that time there were
80 falls of ice-one every As seconds
that made commotion enough to be
heard at that distance. Such is the
Muir glacier today, and there are eight
others to keep 1t company"
So the Geological Society of Amer
lea, in looking for a place to study
the results on plant life Of eternal
warfare between Ice and forest, has
picked out exactly the right region.
Southeastern Alaska is high and rocky.
The Alexander archipelago covers its
coast line with maze of islands and
channels which afford an almost con-
tinuous inner, protected course for
steamers from Puget sound to Cross
sound. The islands are high, rising
from 1900 to 5000 feet. The high and

ern red cedar, and yellow cedar in the
coast forests and white spruce, white
birch, poplar, black cottonwood and
of abundant plant life and flowers,
for the temperature is moderate, with
heavy rainfall. Ports in this region
are open the year around.
There Is constant steamship service
between Puget Sound ports and Juneau.
Professor Cooper and his fellow
biologists are of course more inter-
ested in the forests and plant life than
in the glaciers as glaciers. The nat
ural processes of reforestation after
the passing of glacier should furnish
important information, they think. AS
the ice recedes, alders and dense
masses of arctic willow spring up and
accumulate and store water and humus.
Next come the young spruces. Final
ly, after a century or so, a new spruce
forest has replaced the destroyed for
est, to hold sway until another glacier
comes along. This process is actual,
not imaginary. Glaciated rocks and
buried fragments of trees and plants
bear witness to the strife of centuries.
And surely there can be no more
appropriate name than Muir National
park for such an area as the ecolo-
gists ask of congress. For the name
of John Muir is a household word
wherever nature lovers and national
park enthusiasts and botanists and
naturalists and explorers and out-Of-
doors folk congregate. Born in Scot
land In 1888, Muir came here a boy.
After four years of study at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin he thought he
see all he could and wandered about
the country, taking look at the plants
and rocks as he wandered. He ended
up In the California Sierra with his
eyes as good as ever. Since then his
work belongs to the American people.
He loved the Sierra and Yosemite
best, but he did lot of exploring.
He was the first American to visit
Glacier bay and named nine great gla-
ciers and found hundreds of smaller
ones back from the shore. And he
wandered all over the world, including
Siberia and the Himalayas, studying
forest growths. He wrote many
volume on the great out-of-doOrs and
these books you will find In the scien-
tific libraries as well as in the favor
lite bookcase of the nature lover.
This Glacier Bay region would make
an attractive national park. The eli
mate is not at all Arctic. The seen
cry is inspiring. with some very high
mountains for good measure. Ordinary
folk would probably find 1t interesting

congress can be induced to say Yes"
especially If the biologists pick out
government-owned area that will
cost nothing.

auuSuy oholl IL NC given ShO
name of Muir National park?
These are questions that can be an
swered only by congress. Offhand
there seems no reason why it should
not answer Eyes" to the first question.
And If it's answer is YES" the very
first name that would suggest itself
to well-informed nature lovers every
where would be Muir National
park.
Anyway, the Geological Society of
America has asked congress to estab-
lish national park in the Glacier
Bay region of southeastern Alaska
''for scientific research and education
and for the permanent use and enjoy
ment of the people"
flight here two questions just nat
urally ask themselves: What Is an
ecologist. And why is he so inter
ested in the Glacier Bay region of
southeastern Alaska?
These questions may be answered
briefly thus: The ecologist is bot
Rnist with a special bug" He isn't
particularly interested in the way corn
grows in Illinois. The growth of
stand of pine in Louisiana gives him
no thrills. What he wants is to study
and to see now nature adapts itself
to circumstances. Perhaps he may
be called botanical evolutionist.
The ecologist is interested in the
Glacier Bay region because there an
eternal warfare is going on between
the ice and the forests. A glacier on
fits way to the sea overwhelms a for
est and obliterates it. A new forest
springs up in the destruction left be-
hind. Another glacier comes along in
the course of time and again wipes
out the forest, which again springs
up. And so on. The ecologist wants
to see what effect all this has on the
forest.
Botany is, of course, a very old
study. Solomon, you will remember,
"spake of trees, from the cedar which
is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop
that springeth out of the wall" Man
early began to study the plants in his
search Oh LHlHSS 10 eat anu TOT refill

for long time "herbs, shrubs and
trees" was all there was to botany
Linnaeus (1707-7S) is reckoned the ia
Their of modern botany. Nowadays,
of course, it is a science, with many
branches and many which
brings us to geology and the ecolo-
gists.
Botany, nowadays, is that branch
of the wider science of biology which
deals with plants. Geology Is that
branch of botany which deals with
the mutual relations between organ
isms and their environment. Geology
is again divided into three depart
ments One is physiological geology,
which deals with the study of reac-
lions to environment. A second is
photographic geology, which deals
with edaphic plant societies-and
edaphic means influenced by soil con-
y ditions rather than by climate" The
third is geographic geology, or ecologi-
cal photography, which has to do
with the leading plant formations from
the climatic aspect.
