Excerpt from Among the Northern Icebergs A library for American youth, which embraces accounts. of the people, climate, scenery, and productions of many lands, would scarcely be complete did it not include a work upon the north polar region of the American continent. This little volume partly answers that purpose. Its limits are too narrow to admit even a mere resume of the history of Arctic exploration, which covers a period of several centuries. And since the work is particularly for English readers, it has been limited to accounts of the expeditions which have been sent into polar waters by England and the United States. Information for the work has been gathered from numerous sources, but upon no other work has so heavy a contribution been levied as upon Captain Richard Perry's "History of Arctic Explorations" - a recent issue covering the entire field of such expeditions.

Excerpt from First at the North Pole or Two Boys in the Arctic Circle In penning this volume I have had a twofold purpose in mind: the first to show what pure grit and determination can do under the most trying of circumstances, and the second to give my readers an insight into Esquimaux life and habits, and to relate what great explorers like Franklin, Kane, Hall, delong, Nansen, Cook, and Peary have done to open up this weird and mysterious portion of our globe.

Excerpt from Visit to the Glaciers of Alaska and Mount St. Elias To those among my audience who were present two years ago when a paper on the same region was read by Mr. Seton-karr to the Society, I can, I fear, offer little that is new. They will, however, have, at least this advantage, they know exactly whe1e Mount St. Elias is situated. To those who may not, I will premise that to reach Alaska, they must cross first the Atlantic Ocean to Montreal, and then the American continent to Victoria in British Columbia, and then go up the Pacific coast by sea for a thousand miles, in order to find themselves at Sitka, the capital of Alaska. Not very far from Sitka is Glacier Bay. To the west of this is Cross Sound, and it is to the north-west of Cross Sound that the mountain range lies which it is my purpose to describe to-night. Into Glacier Bay many large glaciers descend, only one of which, the Muir, has been explored. It is 30 miles long, and its breadth, where it runs out into the sea, is one mile. It is decreasing very rapidly, so rapidly, indeed, that the sailors assert that they can, year after year, clearly distinguish the difference in its size. The height of the ice-wall at the foot of the glacier, where it is washed by the sea, was 319 feet m 1886, whilst last year it was 266 feet, a decrease of 53 feet. The centre of the glacier moves 70 feet per day, which 1s equal to five miles a year. This will be appreciated better if it is remembered that the Mer de Glace in Switzerland moves 1% foot per day, and the Aar Glacier 55 feet per year. We went up on to the ice to visit a cairn which the captain of our ship had previously erected for the purpose of ascertaining the rate of motion of the glacier. We found it almost overthrown into a crevasse, so we re-erected it and took sextant bearings from it to various peaks, for use this summer.

Excerpt from The Ice Age, in North America and Its Bearings Upon the Antiquity of Man E. H. Williams from the Atlantic Ocean to Ohio and found to be from twenty to thirty miles south of their terminal moraine. The facts relating to this border, brought out by Professor Williams, have a most important bearing upon the discus sion both of the cause and of the date of the Pleistocene glacial epoch.
