was recently the case in changing the name Narada 

 Falls, to Cushman Falls. Winthrop Glacier was named 

 in honor of Theodore Winthrop, who first saw the 

 mountain in 1853 and published an article extolling its

 name from a fine exhibition of St. Elmo's fire that oc- 

 curred while we were spending a night there. In the 

 midst of a thunder storm that was booming in the val- 

 leys below we noticed balls of St. Elmo's fire gather-
