Ono of the most Important nml perhaps
most dimciilt pieces of mountain work that
Iiavo been planned for many jcars Is the
afcccnt of Mount St , P.IIas , the colossus that
stands almost on the junction Una which sep.
aratcn the American domain In Alaska from
the Itrltk'h pefacsyions. Two parlies Imvo
determined to make the effort during the
coming summer , the one directed by Mr.
Hdnry O. Ilr > nnt , vlcu president of the Geographical
graphical society of Philadelphia , and the
successful explorer of the Grand falls of
Labrador , and the other conducted by Vlt-
lorlo Bella , probably the most eminent cf
landscape photographers that the world has
yet seen , and 1'rlnce Lulgl of Savoy , duke of
Ahruzzl , with a retlnuo of some of the most
experienced of Alpine guttles.
The expedition under the direction of Mr.
( Bryant contemplates the scientific examina
tion of llio St I..lns ' region , central to which
are the ascent of the giant mountain , the de
termination of Its geological , zoological and
botanical feature ! ) and the examination of the

In the latter the mountaineer encounters
particular dangers which are frequently not
readily appreciable on their face. The ava
lanche lias proved Itself to bo an unremit
ting fee to the mountaineer , and Its death-
dealing work continues from year to jcar
dc'plte all efforts that are made to avoid
Its presence. It Is an exceedingly email
and Insignificant effort that calls It Into
existence which frequently badlm the cx-
pcrlcnco of the most experienced to give
It a wide berth. H Is well known that the
discharge of a gun will often dislodge a
hanging cornice with Its mantle of snow , and
even the clapping of the hands has been
known to turn a bed of peacefully lying snow
Into the raging and tempestuous avalanche.
A step too low on the mountain slope may
likewise dislodge a movable bank and con
vert It Into a , swift-flying avalanche. In the
passage of the Plz Mortcratsch by Prof. Tyn-
dall , an avalanche carrjlng his party down
the side of the mountain seems to have orig
inated In the mere slipping of one of the
members. Many accidents nnd escapes from
the fall cf an overhanging cornice are chron
icled among the archives of Alpine monu-
talnccrlng. Of the latter there li no more
romatkable one than that of Mr. A. W
Moore , experienced In a descent of the Monch
with Mclchlor and Jacob Andcrcgg , the flrnt
named famed as one of the beat of Swlfl'i
guides. To use his own description , "As

In his general orders Issued to the soldiers
of the armies of the United States Juno 2 ,
1SG3 , General Grant summed up In the com
pact , vigorous and soldierly stjle for which
ho was noted , the claims which union sol
diers have on the gratitude of the country :
"Your marches , sieges , and battles In dis
tance , duration , resolution nnd brilliancy of
results dim the luster of the world's past
achievements , and will bo tno patriot's prece
dent In defense of liberty and right In all
time to come. To achieve these glorious
triumphs and secure to yourselves , your fel
low countrjrnen and posterity the blessings
of free Institutions , tens of thousands of
your gallant comrades ha\c fallen and scaled
the priceless legacy with their blood The
graves of these a grateful nation bedews
with tears , honors their memories and will
ever cherish nnd support their stricken fam
ilies. "
ThcM words were written nt the close of
the war , In the full flush of victory , when
patriotism was at fever heat , and the sense
of obligation was overwhelming. The lapse
of thirty-two yiars affirms the sentiments of
VIEW OP MOUNT SP. KL.IAS.
Claims of Mount Logan ( estimated to be 19,500
feet In height ) to be the loftiest summit of
nit North America. Mount Logan Is dis
tinctly on lirltlsh territory , but the valuation
of 'Its altitude Is determined from measure
ments of Prof. Israel 0. UUEnell , calculated In
the bureaus of the United States coast sur
vey. The attack on Mount St. Ellas , It Is
expected , will bo made from the side of the
Jlolasplna glacier , to which a seemingly most
nccesMblo face-Is turned. The mountain It
self has jnucli the form of the famous Jung-
Xrnii. of Switzerland , on which the upper
enows have a thickness of 200 to 300 feet , ex
cept where sharp rock ridges protrude them
selves to daylight : what the thickness of the
BIIOW mantle on St. Ellas may bo only the
present researches can determine. Mr. Bry
ant will bo accompanied by Mr. Samuel J.
Entrlken ( who was associated with the Hell-
prin-I'cary relief expedition of 1S92 and sub
sequently in 1893-4 with Mr. 1'cary ) and a
speolal topogiaphcr from the United States
Btrvlce at Washington ; three or four addi
tional aldl will be taken up on the California
Bide , one of whom served as special guldo
to the Husbcll party In 1S93.
A HIGH CLIMn.
The elevation of Mount St. Ellas , re
cently determined by I'rof. Israel C. nus-
cell , Id about 18,100 feet , or nearly l.GOO feet
lower than was amidied from the earlier
measurements made by ofllccn. of the United
States coast survey. The mountain , consequently
quently , lacks between thrce-quartora of'a
mile and n mile of the- altitude of Aconcagua
and the Pioneer peak. Hut It has a factor in
Its construction which will tend largely tc
Incro.u-e the dllllcultlcs In the way of 1U
ascent This Is the enormous development
of Its snott covering , which has a gieater
\rilical extension than Is known on any
othrr mountain , extending continuously from
abput the lo\cl of 2,000 feet to the summit ,
or through an Interval of 10,000 feet. It In
this condition which will tax the best encr-
glts of the mountaineer , and call out a re
source which perhaps no previous mountain
exploration has done.
Thn successful accomplishment of high
mountains of the class of Aconcagua , the
Pioneer peak or St Ellas Is not a matter
that Is associated with special danger fronl
a tarcflcd atmosphere. Experience has
plainly dcmoiu > tiated that a much more
rarefied atmosphere than Is to bo found
on any of the mountain summits of the globe
can bo safely endured by almost any healthy
heart and pair of lungs , but It IB the difficult }
or exhaustion Unit Is bound in with muscu
lar exercise under thcso special conditions
of reduced ntmcmphoio ( or oxygen ) which
makes a result doubtful , or oven forces per
manent Injuiy to those attempting the effort.
Mountain sickness In ono form or another ,
and the peculiar blood transpirations from
nobe , ears ami C > CH , are certainly existent
conditions with some , but seemingly they ore
of much less ficqucnt experience than the >
were In the eaily da > s of mountain vorK.
AVhymper , Clinton Dent and other Alpinists
ore probably justified In their contention that
no mountain height Is ton high for man's
ultimate powers of endurance , and that with
proper effort the loftlcht of them will bo con
quered like the less lofty.

TIUJACHEItOUS SNOWS AND ICE.
Every mountain that lUrs well Into the
domain of perpetual Ice lisa its accumulation
at Iiard-hlug and toft-lying or movable
cows. Tlie former are usually A talc , if
with the greatest caution ; no man Is more
alive than ho to the danger arising from a
enow cornice. Ho sounded with his ax at
every step , nnd we went btcadlly along ,
anxious , but with every reanon to believe
that wocro giving the cornice a wide
bcith. Suddenly came a startling cry from
Melchlor ; at the tame Instant I felt mvself
stagger , and instinctively swinging ever so
slightly to tlio right , found mypclf the next
moment sitting nstrldo on the ridge. With a
thundering rear the coinlce on our left for a
distance of some 200 jarda went crashing
down to the depths below , sendfng up clouds
of snoA- dual which completely concealed my
companions , from me. It was only by the ab
sence of all strain on the rope that I knew ,
though at the moment I scarcely realized the
fact , that they were , lllto myself , safe. "
THE GLOOMY GLACIAL CIIEVASSE.
Few there are , probably , among active
mountaineers.Tio have not had experiences
of ono kind or another with a glacial cre
vasse. Slowly climbing or decendlng a steep
outer mountain face on the back of a glacier ,
with glacial crevasses zigzagging through It
at near Intervals , may be anything but a
pleasant sensation , especially ! to him who Is
not adequately provided with alpine rope ,
ax and hob-nails or creepers as part of his
footgear. A fall , a slip and away you are
hurried , possibly to eternity. Some of these
rievasses are hundreds of feet In depth , and
their vertical bides of adamantine ice make
cpcapo fiom their lower depths Impossible.
It lias not Infrequently happened that hu
man bodies accidentally precipitated Into
these lifts have been recovered only after
Intervals of jcais when washed out from
the under surface of the extremity of a
glacier. The patsago of the crevasses by
mentis of natural snow or Ice bridges con
stitutes cue of the sources of chief danger
to the mountain climber. Weakened by
melting through the sun's heat , they are a
treacherous pathway and lead the unwary
to steps that incline to ultimate destruction.
It is in such crossings that the experience
of good guides becomes a necessity , and
manv an ugly plunge that might otherwise
have resulted fatally has been turned to an
adventure of hardly more than laughable
proportions. iMr. Edwin Swift Halch , an ex-
peilenced American mountaineer , thus de
scribes the sensation of n mild crevasse ad
venture : "Tumbling Into a crevasse. If you
are roped , is n very small matter , although
the sensation , If you fall completely through ,
Is unique. The mot * curloua part of the feel
ing U the Inability to put jour feet any
where , the sensation of utter helplessness
that It glvcw you to bo kicked around trying
to get jour feet on to something. Prom beIng -

confused heap on top of the glacier.
THE IMMINENT STOHM.
There are few , except these who have them
selves had the expcrlepre , who ean conceive
of the extreme rapidity with which moun
tain stornn originate and discharge thcm-
sclven. Krom a perfectly clear sky and nur-
loundliiRs , nn hour , or even a mere frac
tion of It , will frequently sulllco to plunge
the traveler Into darkness and Into a region
of the utmost turmoil. Angiy clouds t > wecp
by In mad turmoil , an Ice-cold wind bites
deep into the marrow and woe bo to him
who Is caught on a dividing crest without
shelter or covering to properly withstand
the force of nature's arms. A personal ex
perience on the Grlmsel , where from an ab
aolutelj clear and tranquil sky , August 23 ,
on ono side of the pafae plunged Into the
darkness of nigbt and a tempest like that
of the ocean on the other , has been sufllojent
to convince me of the possibilities that lie
In tills direction.
Only tlnough the timely assistance of
a pair of St. Bernard dogs , whoao kindly
mlnlsteilngs prevented that silent sleep
which falls to him who lies deep burled In
snow was on this occasion a rcicuc effected ,
Yet the possibility of the conditions that
actually presented themselves were em
phatically pointed out to us by friendly
guides , but we , presuming on duperlor know !
edge , discarded , nearly to the point of meet
ing death , the advice bought by long years
of experience. A Ic&son thus taught ls apt

the great captain. "Time docs not wither
nor custom stale" the affection with
which the country regards the soldier dead ,
and every recurring Memorial day witnesses
throughout the north multitudes honoring
their memories and growing tholr graves
with flowers of gratitude.
The approach of Memorial day draws at
tention to the rapidly decreasing numbers of
the Grand Army. It Is calculated that the
membership of ( he Grand Army of the He-
public , as well 'aa the pension roll , liav"
i car 1ml the maximum , and that the decline
In both through death's ravages will steadily
increase from now on. When will the lists
bo exhausted ? It Is computed by a statis
tician that in fifty years , or between 1945 and
1950 , the last member of the Grand Army will
answer the roll call of eternity. This com
putation Is babed on the presumption that
some of the boys , born in 1850 and 1851 who
enlisted in 1SC4-G will live to be centenarians.
Of the older men who took part in the bloody
struggle from Its opening In 1861 , all will
have surely departed by the turning j'ear In
the last half of the twentieth century.
Science , however , may make discoveries for
the prolongation of human life , and who
knows that some veteran may not live to at
tend the centennial of tie close of the re
bellion ?
As nearly as can be computed from the
records of ( he AVar department , not count
ing ro-enllstments , there were 2,213,365 sol-
dlcra In the northern armies. Of these 359-
528were killed In battle or died of wounds
and disease. Thla would leave 1,853,737 sur
vivors. Over 1,000,000 of these men have
died since the war closed thirty-two years
ago.
ago.Whllo the chances are that , the last sol
dier will depart about H50 , the pension list
ot the civil war will not be ended then. For
about thirty years later. It Is estimated that
( hero will still be widows on the rolls ,
The most Interesting and at the same time
most saddening statistics connected with this
period are those bearing upon the friends of
the soldiers What has become of the mil
lions who throbbed with llfo and anxiously
hoped nnd prayed during those four awful
years. '
WHO WEUE ALIVE IN 18C5 ?
It Is susceptible of demonstration that
less than 10,000,000 people are living In the
United States who were alive or In this
coun ry when the war closed. Ily the census
of 18UO the population of the United States
wna found to be G2,622,250.
In 1SCO the population of the United
States was 31,000,000 , and it Is fair to cs-
tlmato that this had not been Increased In
the four years of the war. The losses of
the north and south by wounds and disease
amount to nearly , if neb quite , 750,000 men.
In addition there was a greatly decreased
birth rate due to obvious causes. To make
up for thcso Items of decrease the total
Immigration during the war only amounted
to 546,450. Therefore the estimate of
31,000,000 population Is not far out of the
waj' .
Now of the original 31,000,000 how many
can bo reasonably said to bo nllve ? At tlio
outside not more than 10,000,000 , The
death rate of the United States IB about
twenty-five per 1.000 per annum. In thirty-
two years , therefore , 800 of every 1,000 peo-
pie alive at the beginning of the period can
bo expected to die. That la , SO per cent
of the people alive In May , 1865 , have gene
to their long rest leaving considerably less
than the estimate of 10,000,000 alive today.
Of this number now living at least 50 per
cent vvcro less than 8 years old at the con
clusion of the war , and , thcieforo , can pos
sess little personal knowledge of Its events.

With scarcely an exception , the bodies ol
heroic Boldera who fell In Inttle were re

from the battlefield cemeteries for reinter
ment at the north One such exception was
In the CAPO of the gallant Colonel Robert
G. Shaw , whoso regiment of black soldiers

the place of honor In the storming of Fort
Wagner. Shaw was killed on the parapet
and the southerners , who held the field
placed him In n trench scooped out of the
sand between the fort nnd the sea. In the
course of time the action of the waves de-
strojed the surface of the beach to n con
siderable depth , and scattered the bones of
Wagner's heroes beyond recovery. Another
noted war hero , whose lost resting place can
never fitly be honored , Is that of the first
leader of the Irish brigade. General Thomas
Fianrls Mcagher. "Some " time after the war
Mcngher wan drowned from a vessel In the
Missouri river , Montana , and his body
