THE GLACIERS ARE GOING.
— r
Affording to Professor Forel,
who lias made a special study of the
tVfewtjf-fiVe •Alpine glaciers during the day the of past the
years,
glacier is gone. They are deterio¬
rating slowly, but with steady per¬
sistence, and diminution becomes
more marked from year to year.
There is only one exception to this
I 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 155 meters since 1874, or
an average of twenty-nine changed meters dur¬ a
year. Many have so
ing the past few years that of old absence tour
ists after a few seasons
have failed, to recognize them.
Some hotels, once standing in the
immediate proximity, of glaciers arc
now at a considerable distance from
them, to the serious loss of the pro¬
prietors.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Mateo Renato Imbriani, the Ital¬
ian politician, who died a few weeks
ago, was noted, among other things,
for his rabid chauvinism, lie hated
particularly the Austrians and Ger¬
mans. 1 \ lion he was editor of the
Pro Patria, the news editor one
morning got a telegram that Rich
fird Wagner had died m \ enice. lie
forthwith took the speaking tube
and informed Imbriani. The reply
was a volley of abuse, m which he
made out a few words like: “Cana
glia, musiea italiana! Tedesco! La
inorte! lgnominia! 11 nostro Bel
lini! Miserabiir!
The news editor ventured to sug
gest that, all the same, a daily, pa
per was obliged to take some note of
happenings in the world of art.
“Not a word! came hack the an
swer, and not a word was printed
about the death of \\ agner.
Who Was the Poet?
The name of a poet, together with
the bulk of his only notable work, is
lost. People in literary circles re¬
member just one verse, and that a
very striking one, describing the
stars as follows:
Abo rt the clouds *nd tempest’s rsjfe,
Across yon blue and radiant arch,
Upon their long, high pilgrimage
i 1 watched their glittering armies march.
Efforts have been making for
some time past to ascertain who
wrote this verse, where it was pub¬
lished, what is the name of the poem
from which it was taken and where
the remainder of the verses can be
found. The poem is said to be an
old timer, of American origin, bnt
thp facts about it are shrouded ip

President Roosevelt was once
traveling in Idaho and passed a
bookstore in the window of which
vva8 a copy of hi9 “Winning of the
West.” Going into the bookstore,
he i nqu i re d, “Who is this author,
Roosevelt?”
“Oh” sai <i the bookseller, ‘he’s a
driver.”
“And what do you think of his
book?” asked the president,
“Well,” said the dealer slowly
an( j deliberately, “Fve always
thought that if he had stuck to run

The Philadelphia Record tells of
a prominent woman in that city
who claims to have one of Paderew¬
ski’s tears in a crystal locket, which
she wears around her neck. While
claiming by all she holds sacred that
it is one of Paderewski's tears, she
is equally reticent as to how it came
into her possession and how it found
its way into her locket. Moreover,
she is quite indignant if people joke
about it. One young woman asked
if Paderewski had wept in his hand¬
kerchief and then loaned it to her
to wring a tear from. She prompt¬
ly cut that young woman from her
visiting list
