Alaskan Revelations.* This is the subject that was projected at the Rialto Theater in New York. It shows the birth of icebergs and the live Taku Glaciers in Alaska, together with several interesting pictures of flowers growing within sight of the live glaciers, of an Alaskan girl posing as Psyche on an iceberg and the exploration of a cavern of ice with all of its scintillating colors thruthfully portrayed.
