H Figures on other glaciers won't be available till November. Scientists agree that if glaciers continue to grow at a rapid rate for a number of years, it will be one indication -of a longtime trend toward an ice age. But as yet no one is sure whether the orld is heading into a new ice age or still receding from the last one. { The United States knows how much its glaciers grow each year because national park rangers measure them. In 1932 they painted a white “X” on a rock 30 feet, eight inches, from Tyndall's “snout”, or front, as a marker. Now each year they measure the distance from the X to the nearest por- tion of the ice. Last year the ice was 201 feet away from the mark; this.year only 62 feet four ogee S. ‘MRS. L.

The incoming «flamingoes which are rarely seen in Florida other. than in the Cape Sable region and along the Keys have not nested along the lower Keys in re- In Old Key there is a report of circumstantial evidence that many “red herons” were seen sitting on stumps. The birds nest on clay mounds resembling stumps, and it is thought likely that once the flamingo nested on Florida's keys. W. W. Demeritt, Supt. of Lighthouses reports that two of the birds have been seen on Rest Beach. Along with the Great White Herons and the pink Spoonbills the flamingos are the really picturesque birds of the Keys. One tourist has written Mr. Moore that he will travel over a 1,000 miles just to be in the land of flamingoes.
