BALCH— THE COUDERSPORT ICE MINE. 559 



exhibits the best ice curtains, ice floor, and other glaciere phenomena 

 in the spring and early summer. And any traveler who has not 

 visited one or more of the big European glacieres, and who may 

 happen to stray to Coudersport during his wanderings, will certainly 

 see there a natural phenomenon which, while not in the least unique, 

 yet is a good deal of a rarity and quite different from the phenomena 

 usually met with in every-day life.
