Watch for the Opening Chapters. AMID SEAS OF ICE. SCENES AMONG THE GLACIERS OF THE UPPER ENGADiNE. Climbing Snow Clad Alpine Heights—Dust Avalanches —Formation of a Glaeier—A Moraine —How “Glacier Corn” Is Formed. “Glacier Tables’* —'lontins. As fur as my vision extended there was nothing in sight but ice and snow, and the snow was exceedingly white, I assure you The driven snow you have in towns and plains is a decided* brown compared with the dazzling snow we saw up there at the tops of Swiss mountains. Forever and forever this virgin gown lies on all tiie peaks, as it also covers the lower val leys in winter. It has the soft look of a dove's breast, it rests on rocks a thing of beauty, and often it is very dangerous. It falls in soft, pure flakes, clings to all the projections, covers rocks with charm ing traceries, and spreads itself like a sheet of white satin over tlie upper vales. But the toueh of a passing eagle’s wing, the light weight of a chamois, or the careful step of an expert climber will de taeh it from its crest and send it down Then it goes sliding, rumbling along, breaking and reforming as it falls, ever increasing in volume and velocity, and, pursuing its way, becomes a devastating', terrible avalanche that bends and breaks trees, gathers up earth and stones, and rolls into the Engadiue with an awful sound, spreading destruction and dismay in its path. They call these sort of things staublawinen, or dust avalanches, because they consist at the start of cold, dry, powdery snow only, and they are often far more powerful than a raging hurri cane. But the avalanches usually seen lying in high Alpine valleys, covered with dust, earth and stones and great trunks of trees, are known as grundlawinen or com pact av a 1 anch es. It was a grand sight on which we gazed Glaciers filled every valley and ravine, and the ice stood up in tall ramparts wherever tlie space was too narrow to hold its rigid waves. Glacier ice is snow that has for a considerable time been sub jected to enormous pressure. If you squeeze a snowball in your hand until it is very hard it becomes icy So in the Alps, the continual fall of snow is the pressure and the sun’s heat the warmth which produces those seas of ice tiiat are culled glaciers. There are over GOO of them in Switzerland, and some are coeval with the glacial period of this continent, while others are now in process of forma tion. Winter is their season of rest, but with the spring they resume their onward motion, due to the combined action of heat and gravitation. For in spite of their apparent immobility all Alpine glaciers do move constantly, although with different degrees of speed, and, like liquid streams, they carry with them debris of all sorts, but principally the stones that fall on their surface from the mountains' sides. The glacier starting in its purity from some white unsullied peak, loses before many years its spotless character. The * wintry frosts gathering into iron bonds the streams that trickle down the moun tain sides expand the water in freezing and shatter rocks with a force that the most solid cliffs cannot possibly resist. Thus broken fragments drop on to the once unspotted bosom of the ice sea and swell its burden with advancing years. The debris thus brought down form what are called moraines. Each glacier has a moraine on either side of it; its end is a terminal moraine, and when two glaciers unite their lateral moraines join and form a medial moraine. One of the largest medial moraines hereabout I saw as we came down from this excursion. It is in the center of the Morteratsch Glacier and is about fifty feet or more broad and per haps twenty feet high in its center. Vv'e were struck by the infinite white ness of everything, and I have since learned that it is owing to the presence of glacier corn. There is on glacier clad mountains a neve, or finely crystallized snow, which is never fully melted, and this is the pressure that forms the glacier ice. Now, glacier ice is quite different to that which results from freezing water, and is found to consist of crystals varying in size from that of a hen’s egg to a pin’s head; these particles are known as granules or glacier corn, and in minute holes air is imprisoned. Where the air bubbles are absent the glacier has a blue ish tint, and is no longer that pure white which puzzles so many persons. With the oldest guide carefully leading the way wo walked over the ice sea of ldia volezza. Before we had gone far on its level surface I saw bowlders supported at seine height on ice pedestals and 1 stopped to examine them. “Glacier tables,” said the guide at the tail end of our proces sion, but his remark conveyed no useful information. 1 soon saw that they re sulted from the presence of a block of stone. It had fallen on the sea, and had, so to speak, protected the ice directly be neath it from the heat of the sun. In consequence, while the glacier all round has been dissolving and sinking, the ice under these bowlders lias but slightly melted, and gradually a pillow is forming under each rock. “But the bowlder is not balanced evenly on the top,” observed the Boston lady. It was explained to her that because the sun is able to reach these ice pedestals more freely on the south side than on the north the thing naturally inclines toward the south. As we walked along we noticed a line of sand covered mounds about four or five feethign and culminat ing in a sharp ridge. Wo scraped off a little of the sand and earth and found that a mound was composed of ice which looked quite black when it was uncovered. The reason for the existence of these cones was obvious. The ice protected by the sand had remained uumcitcd, and the wind bad thinned the drifted heap into a pointed shape. Suddenly we beard a cracking sound which was accompanied by a noise like that of a distant explosion, and the guide said this announced the formation of another crevasse. Presently the sound of falling water, which grew louder and louder as we approached, was heard, and soon we reached a point where a stream dropped down a shatt in the ice and was lost to sight. The guide called this deep hole a moulin, and he gently re marked that a false step i:i its direction would take a fellow down beyond all human aid. Agassiz and Tyndall both tried to ascertain the thickness of glaciers by taking soundings down these moulins. The former found no bottom at 800 feet on ona sea and on another he estimated the thickness at 1,500 feet.—Cor. New York Times. Deviation in Artillery Firing.
