B. R. Hubbard, 8. J, priest, scientist |and explorer, gave an interesting illustrated lecture to an apprecia- | tive andi of nds gathered |as guests at the home of Mr. and | Mrs, L. H. Motzgar, yesterday eve. | ing. | In his typical humorous vein, the | geologist spoke for two hours on |the results of his summor'’s work on the Alaska Peninsula and Ko |diak Island on both of which he | covered unmapped regions for the |first time, in company with hi | companions, “Taku” Jack Kob; |and Rod “Red” Chisholm The outstanding feature was tho announcement of the discovery of a weird glacier formation, uni que in_its kind, and bound to at. tract the attention of the outsid world. Following is part of the lecture which Father Hubbard houschold, together with cer- |&ave vesterday: q “I was a bit wary about an. rouncing the discovery of such an uncanny thing as an advancing, huge, a%h-covered glacier until 1 felt sure of being able to substan- tiate my observations by photo- graphic records, Fine Pictures Taken | “The courtesy of Messers Winter and Pond in allowing me to use their dark room enabled me to de velop a few hundred of the films taken on the Adaska Peninsula, the outcome of which I was in | doubt owing to the fact our littl |party was wet continuously. My films always were wrapped in my shirt in the center of my slecping bag roll, so they escaped with the least possible injury. “As we made our way along the castern side, of Knkak bay, with my Tield glasses I noted a very peculiar shapedglacier which formed the 8ource of onc of the rivers entering Kukak; bay. It} was more than ten miles away and impossible to reach, owing to' the quicksands and swollen rivers that lay between. “A few days later, at the Hem- ri¢h cannery, we borrowed a dory, ,|1aid in a few provisions, and rowad 1o thé head of -the: bay whers we pitched camp, Starting out, we traversed a desolate waste of tidut flats, ash and sand bars and gravel beds, forded the deep, icy waters of several streams and at length arrived at our goal—the strange glacier. “It was more than one mile wide and extewded somé fiftocen miles to a catéhment basin of MOW.

We investigated the glacier and found it had ad- vanced across its valley until it piled itself up against the moun. tain lying i front of it. Not the least of its wonders consisted in the largest fce cavern I ever saw. Four huge focomotives and traing could have entered it abreast.
