They are deterio rating slowty, but with steady per sistence, and diminution becomes more marked from year to year. There is only one exception to' this rule—-that of Bovier, in the valley of Entremont, which since 1892 has shown continuous growth. The fa mous glaciers of the Rhone have shrunk 755 meters since 1874, or an average of twenty-nine meters a year. Many have so changed dur ing the past few years that old tour ists after a few seasons of absence have failed to recognize them. Some hotels once standing in the immediate proximity of glaciers are now at a considerable distance from them, to the serious loss of the pro prietors.-—Pall Mall Gazette. FOR THE LITTLE ONES. A Consistent Hater. Mateo Remito Imbriani, the Ital ian politician, who died a few weeks ago, was noted, among other things, for his rabid chauvinism. He hated particularly the Austrians and Ger mans. When he*was editor of the Pro Patria, the news editor one morning got a telegram that Rich ard Wagner had died in Venice. He forthwith took the speaking tribe mi cl i-nfnvninrl Tinhi’iiini TllC reply Youth of Queon Isabella, the Friend of Columbus. Every American boy should be interested in the history of the great queen of Spain who pawned her jewels to buy vessels with, which to send Christopher Columbus out to discover the new world. Ig^bella waB born April 22, 1451, at Madrigal, Spain, Her father, Ring John, was king or Castile, then a, separate kingdom, now only a province of Spain. She was named in honor of her mother, a* princess of Portugal, who brought up her daughter very simply in the obscure village of Arevale. At the age of eleven the little princess was be trothed to Prince Carlos of Aragon, who was cruelly poisoned. Other matches were arranged for her, but with great spirit the princess re fused them and insisted on marry ing Prince Ferdinand of Aragon. Isabella was heiress to tho throno, so her marriage was a matter of great importance to the country. October, 1469, after a romantic courtship Ferdinand was married to his sweetheart at Valladolid, Spain, and her brother, the king, dying, she was proclaimed queen of Castile Dec. 13, 1474. When, in January, 1478, Prince Ferdinand succeeded to the thrown of Aragon, tho two and informed Imbriani. was a volley of abuse, in which ho umdo out a few words like: “Ctina- glia, musica italiana!

This good and wise queen died at Medina del Campo, Spain, Nov. 26, 1504. What Becomes of Arctic Animals? * It has been a source of much sur prise to Professor Nordenskjold that during his expedition within tlie arctic circle, in regions where ani mal lifer is abundant, ho has found very few remains of animals which died a natural death. No one has any idea of what becomes of tho bodies of such animals, and it is in deed very strange that on Spitzber- gen it is easier to find bones of a gigantic lizard of remote geological time than those of a “self dead” seal, walrus or bird.
