Scientists Expect to Determine When
Grasshopper.Filled lce Was
Laid Down.
Yellowstone Park, Wyo.—The mys
tery of Grasshopper glacier, just
across the Montana state line outside
the northeastern corner of Yellow-
stone park, may be unlocked by the
frozen body of a tiny animal no larger
than a mouse. The glacier has been
famous for many years for the im-
mense number of dead and frozen
grasshoppers with which {ts lce Is
filled and from which it derives its
name. The species of insects are mod.
ern, but no one has yet been able to
guess when thelr swarms were over
whelmed with cold and buried in snow
that eventually became ice. It might
have been hundreds of years ago or
it might have been thousands,
Now, for the first time, the body of
one of the higher animals has been
found among the Insects. It is of a
shrew, a tiny creature resembling a
mouse in general appearance, but not
closely related to the mice. It was
found by a tourist, R. E. Beiton of
Livingston, Mont. At the Park mu-
geum its mummified remains were ex-
amined by Park Naturalist E. J. Saw
yer and Vernon Balley, chief field nat-
uralist of the United States biological
survey.
Though quickly Identifying the
animal as a shrew, the two scientists
stated that because of the shriveled
condition of the body it would not be
possible to determine its exact spe
cles without careful dissection and
measurements, Once this is deter.
mined, however, It may be possible to
form some idea of the climatic con
ditions under which the grasshopper.
fliled ice wag iald down, because the
range of animals is strongly influ
enced by the temperature, moisture
and other conditions of their habitat.
