tuuee away, bo near that it -can be

a miie wide, but it seems to end

it was at 6 o'clock iu, the morn
ing mat 1 liad my first sigut of the
xaitu glacier. The sun, wua already
two iiours or more high-, and lu>
rajs caugat the icebergs wiUob,
lingua auout in the inlet and
turueu luem to sappfiirss. There
wfcie uuuureus of these blue ice
mattes, turough which our steam
er puaaeu its way to the face of
tha rce wall. Tno steamship was
the Humboldt, with, a crowd of tour
ists on board. It tool; us right up
to w:U»a 600 feet of the wheu
we stopped.
At this moment thq sun struck it
full and the great wall became one
mass of silver frosted with, dia
monds and sparkling with, sapphires.
Where the ice breaks off the wall
looks like a mighty cutting of the
whitest ice cream. When, the berg
falls into the water it rises up in
gigantic floating masses of aqua
marine.
As we anchored thjj wind cattio
to' us over the glacier. It had
been warm coming up to the inlet,
but here the icy breath of Jack Frost
sent a chill to our bones. It was
so cola that 1 could hardly write,
and this cold continued during our
Stay.
i'he race or the giacaer is raggeu
and its top has hundreds—I might
say thousands—oX peaks, some of
them us sharp uii spires and others
broken and shattered. It reminds
one of the relief map of a rug
ged mountain range. Thy Icq Is
melting, and now and then with &
noise like thunder, a great moss
slides off into the water. The
shooting of a cannon would bring
down hundreds of Icebergs, and the
Titration of the air caused by the
blowing of our steam whistle, never
fails to send an avalanche Into the
water.
The captain of Lha steamer gave
a number of salute* to show the
effect of the sound. As the shriek
of the whistle made tha air vibrate
i mighty blocks bega* to drop from
the glacier into the sea. As the
| whistle continued to blow there
wag craBb. after crash, and at one
time a mass as bi«r as a New York
office building broke away and slid
down into the ocean. It buried it
self in the water, throwing &
mighty spray almost to the top of
the glacier, and causing great bil
lows to roll out to the steamer.
| a moment later It rose to the
height of a hundred feet above the
I surface, and moved ud and down
| on the surface of tbo water. As
I the mountain wall fell I spoke to
! the captain, a giant of a man, who
has commanded the Humboldt thesa
J many years, saying: "You remind ^
iila 01 J uaaua, wuu cuuiuuuiucu
trumpets to blow whent he walls
o' Jericho fell." The captain
laughed and lamely quoted:
"And the tevea priests bearing
their seven trumoota of rani's horns,
went around Jericho, and they; blew
upon their trumpets and the peo
ple shouted with a great ahout, and
the walls of Jericho fell."
The quotation *s not exact, tut
it tells the Btory.
The scenery of the glacier was
so beautiful as to be almost *w®-i
inspiring, and it Lrouglt out ex
pressions of wondar from the crowd
of tourists about me.

It waB from Juneau, the capital
of Alaska, that 1 rode out in an
automobile to see the Meudenhall
glacier. The niOraine o.f this migh
ty ice mass lies within nine miles
jf the city.

The face of the Mendenhali gla
cier is a mile or more wide. It
| s a huge corrugated wall of J>lue
and white ice sloping upward into a
| ;reat field of ice-mountains, which
'in the distance seem to he of
! marble carved out by a sculptor.
Coming closer we rode almost to
the toot of the glacier and there
left tho car. We then climhed over
the rocks of the moraine to the
i'dge of tho glacial stream which
ilowa along the foot of the wall.
We were not more than, the width
of a city street from the wall it
self. The Mendenhali glacier, where
it bursts forth from the mountains,
is net more than a mile wide. It
rises almost precipitously, with
grea* gutterB cuttikg its face and
with many small holes which the
guides tell the credulous Chechako,
or tenderfoot, have been made hy
the ice worms. They say there a .re
certain worms that live in the ice,
knd that these are often taken out
and eaten by the mlncm when starv
ing. Iudeed, they prove the story
showing a photograph of a miner
actually masticating the worms
which ho is Bucking from the ice.
The photograph is a real one, hut
the worms, I am told, are strings
of spaghetti.
From the Lynn canal westward,
running from here for a distance
of four or five Hundred miles, are
to be found the greatest glaciers of
Vlaska, Gen. Greeiy gives a cata
logue ci the names and localities
of more than 200 of them, and G.
K. Gilbert of the HaTriman expedi
tion says their glacial Ice covers
I'rom 15,000 to 20,000 square miles.
These glaciers ore mostly found
within 100 miles of the oceau and
the largest are on the south side
of the coast range.

NearJy every river in Alaska has
its source lir a glacier. The tribu
taries of the Yukon are fed by
glaciers and the same is true of
Ue Kuskokwim, The Tanana, up
on. which Fairbanks is located, is
formed by the Chlsana and Nabesna
river, both of which rise In glaciers
in the Wrangell mountains, and the
Susi'na springs forth from al glacier
of the Alaskan range. The Cop
per river Is fed by glaciers, and
the Copper River railway, which
connects the Kennecott mines with
:he sea, passes between, the ChiMs
glacier and the Miles glacier on
its way to Cordova. The Childs
glacier is 300 feet high and three
miles in width.
• • • <a
Glacier bay Is only a short dist
ance from where I am -writing;. This
body of water is fifty miles long,
Jmd It bos more than a half daaen
glaciers of enormous size. The
biggest Is the Muir glacier, named
ufter John Muir, who discovered Jt.
It is three miles wide where it
enters the water, and the height of
the ice wall is almost 1,000 feet
TOO feet being underneath the sur
face. The glacier is very lively,
and It has been supposed by some
to move as much, as sixty feet &
day, but a fair .estimate would
probably be one-sisth of the speed.
• • •
In addition to the valley glaciers,
Alaska has some great Ice fields,
or ice caps, such as the Malaspina
glacier. This glacier is a great
sheet of ice, larger than the state
of Rhode Island. It has a .front
of about fifty miles as It faces the
sea, and runs thirty miles back in
to the country to the St Elias rajige
cf mountains. It Is really a vast
plain ot plateau of <ce with Jakes
and rivers, and with, hills and
mountains of gravel.

Enlarging Her Part
George M. Cohan, the widely known
comedian, engaged a young woman for
one of his productions whose ambition
excelled her abilities. One morning
she went to Mr. Cohan.
"I have only one line in the first act,
Mr. Cohan," said she, "and but one in
the second. Couldn't you give me a
line for the third act also?"
Mr. Cohan thought for a moment of
all the trouble tie girl had caused him
.-and of the exalted opinion she had of
;her poor acting.
"Well, yes," replied Mr. Cohan.
"During the banquet scene In the third
act you may enter and say, Here is a
"Oh!" she exclaimed. "And do I
bring a ham on the stage "with me?"
"No," answered Mr. Cohan; "It Is not
a speech; it Is a confession, my dear."
