at from afar it seems a h;xe curiously
shnpoil ship with frreat while hull and
great white sails nil set and blown full
with the breeze. Rut the strongest glass
detects no Has? floating from its frozen
peaks and sees no crew moving upon its
glistening decks. It is an enormous,
clumsy craft which no passing Captain
hails; it is one of the rovers in nature'i
pirate, navy which every skipper avoids.
An hour and the steamer passengers have
seen tho ioc ship vanish in the distance;
it is moved in a current of the ocean, and
before long it w ill p;is to warmer waters
in the south, and there tho frozen craft
will end its journey and melt out of com
mission. Icebergs aro born every day in every
month, but most of them remain in or
near their native waters for a long tims
before they escape and wander to tho
great lanes of travel bet ween here and
Europe. The bergs which will be seen
this summer arc from two to ten years
old; that is, they have had an existcuco
individually for years, though tho ice
from which they are formed is much
older, some of it possibly having been
frozen first a thousand years ago. Brgs
nre born of glaciers. Four out of every
five floating masses in the Atlantic come
from Greenland; the fifth may be fro.n
Spitsbergen Sea, Frobishcr's Sound, or
Hudson Strait.
A glacier is a river of solid water con
fined iu tho depressions running down
tho mountain sides. Soft and powdery
snow falls upon the summits, and though
some is evaporated, the yearly fall is
greater than the yearly loss, aud so the
excess is pushed down the slope into val
leys which possiby at the time are cov
ered with green and have afforded pasture
lands for cattle. Tho snow gathers in
the high valleys and and every day under
goes some degree of the change which
finally transforms it iuto ice. Hundreds
of years ago the people who dwelt at tho
foot of tho Alps, in the Eogadinc valley,
went up the green hillside and built new
houses. Far above their homes rose the
mountain tops, covered with eternal
snow. Little by little a glacier was '
forming upon the lofty slope above the I
site of these new bouses. The surface of !
the soft snow river forced down from the j
summit was melted day after day, and
tho water trickling into the mass beneath j
fioze by night. Thus the Hue feathery I
crystals became changed iuto sponge-like
ice, and as time went on and the quan
tity above increased, the pressure grew
greater, and the sponge ice became
harder and then compact and solid. And
all this while more snow was falling upon
the summits and was driven down the
mountain side, piled on the surface of
tho growing glacier and forced down iuto
the mass beneath as new ice. Scientists
estimate that with the thickeuing of the
rigid stream it extended down the hill
side seven inches each year. ThU
was going truly at a snail's pace,
but at last the slowly creeping river of
ice, crested with melted snow, ap
proached so near the homes built upon
the slope that the people had to move.
Their houses, of course, they had to leave
behind them, and in time the solid river
came upon the buildings aud broke them
up and smothered the fragments. This
was the Storteratsch Glacier, and many
tourists in Switzerland have looked
upon it. In 186S thero were great floods
iu the valley and many bits of the old
dwellings were washed out from under
the ice.
Now, just as this Alpine glacier grew
and Bowed down the mountains at the
rate of seven inches a year, so have
greater glaciers grown in colder Green
land and come down the mountains of
that country to the sea. And thesa
glacier streams of Greenland are the
parents of the North Atlantic iccberirs.
So, too, in Alaska there nre tremendous
glacier', and one of tho incidents of nn j
Ordinary Alaskan journey is tho cruising I
jf i .i.. .
df your vessel along the coast, where the
glaciers break off and fall into tho water.
Thuy are far more beautiful than the
finest of the glaciers of Switzerland, and
in size they nre so great that the largest
Alpine glacier would make ouly a fair
sized noso, if it could bo taken bodily
and placed upon tho face of one of the
Alaskan giants. At Glacier Bay icebergs
are being born all tho while. Muir

moves seventy feet into the sea,
charge every twenty-four hours bein
140,000,000 cubic feet of clear ice. As
this great quantity cracks into pieces !
from the g.ucier tho bergs of the North !
Pacific begiu their life. The separation ;
from the larger mass aud the plunge iuto !
the sea cause terrific noises. j
It is known that tho ouly part of the
lund which is not covered completely by
lee is a narrow belt around tho ihore.
Crossing thie belt at hundreds of places
ure the glaciers. Somo are ouly a few
hundred feet wide and fifty feet thick,
while others aro several miles .wide and
aieasuro 1500 feet from surfaco to bot
tom. All of these ice streams are milk
ing their way to the sea, aud as tueir
cuds are forced out into the water by the
pressure behind they are broken off aud
set adrift as bergs. The rate of move
incut of the glaciers is variously esti
mated. The central part of a glacier
moves more rapidly than the sides. The
progress of the Greenland glaciers is in
Diauy cases at the rate of forty-seven f.vt !
a day iu the centre, while at the U it
varies from teu to fifteen. Observations ,
made on a typical Greenland glacier
show that its breadth was 18,400 feet,
deplU i)40 feet, and advance per day
fort) aeveu feet during tho summer sea
sou. This would give about 200,000,
OuO cubic feet a year as the product of
an average sized ice fjord, which, allow
ing five pouuds a day to each person iu
the I'uited States would last over 100
years. This particular glacier, it will be
wen, is very much larger than the great
Muir Glacier of Alaska, whose annual
oulput is some 5,100,000 cubic feet a
year.
Each glacier ia Greenland, 80 far as
any estimate has beeu made, gives birth
each year to from ten to 100 icebergs.
When these bergs havo plunged into the
Arctic Sea they are picked up by tho

PRESERVING! Ft'RS FROM MOTtTS.
The best method to preserve furs from
moths is, ns is well known, frequent
beating anel combing in the open air and
keeping them in a dry anil cool room.
The Russian fur dealers make general use
of a preservative known as tho Chinese
moth tincture. Its preparation is as fol
lows: A handful of camphor and the
broken shells of Spanish pepper, or small
pounded coloquiuts, are put into strong
spirits. The whole is left standing for a
few ilays in an oven, or in the heat of
tho sun, until the camphor has dissolved,
after which tho liquor should be strained.
Tho fur is sprinkled nil over with this
liquor, then tied up well and put in new
shirting or strong linen. Fur, it is said,
can be kept in this way for years without
any moths. Sew York Journal.
OOOD WAYS TO VSR COLD BISCUITS.
1. Cut iuto slices about a half-inch
thick, put in tho oven and toast brown
on both sides, put in a dish and pour over
enough boilod Bweet milk to nearly
cover them, let stand a few moments,
then tako out of the milk and serve with
sauce. They make a really nico
dessert. 2. Break the biscuits into
crumbs, put in a saucepan, pour over
them enough warm water to soften them,
set the saucepan on the fire until the
crumbs nre thoroughly soaked, sweeten
to your taste, flavor with nutmeg or es
sence of any kind preferred, add a little
salt, a small piece of butter and an egg,
beaten light; when the egg is done, take
up, put in dessert plntes and serve with
sauce. A good way to use stale light
bread is to slice it, beat four eggs, a littlo
salt aud two tablespoon fills of sugar to
gether, dip tho bread iu this and fry in
hot fat. A good way to use cold rice
is to mix just enough warm water with
it to separate every grain, add pepper
and salt to tasto, break in a few eggs,
and fry in a little hot fat. Tomatoes are
very nice if boiling water is poured over
them, the skins removed, the tomatoes
sliced and placed in a saucepan, with a
littlo water and enough molasses or sugar
added to make them sweet, letting them
cook until the syrup gets quite thick.

Tapping the Underflow.
What promises to be one of tho most
important features in water irrigation in
California has been brought forward at
Riverside, iu tho question as to the right
to tap underground flow, or percolating
water.
A company is at work upon a tunnel
which will tap the underflow that makes
a vast body of land around San Bernar
dino moist. Should this land be drained
to such au extent that the moisture will
be diminished near the surface, and thus
compel irrigation where the character of
the soil has heretofore not required it, a
great hardship will fall upon property
owners, and protracted litigation will
follow. It is a wholly distinct feature in
riparian law, aud may result in riparian
legislation. It would seem to be much
on the same priuciplo that one artesian
well may be sunk on a lower level than
another, and diminish or even dry up its
flow, yet tho owner of the upper well
has no recourse at law. The question is
fraught with immense importance to
Southern Califoruia, and the reault will
be watched with great interest. San

Then one soap served all purposes. Now the sensible folks use one soap
