brilliant speech he ever delivered
The CoNriNENr AN 1GkBRRa.-Prof.
Aga.siz, in the, Atlansic sAe,atMy, comes
TO the conclusion that the continent Of
North America was at one time covered
with ice mile in thickness. The proof is
that the slopes Of the Allegheny range Of
mountains are glacier worn ca the very
top, except few points which were above
the icy mass. Mount Washington, for in
stance is over six Thousand feet high, and
the rough, unpublished surface Of its sum-
mits, covered with loose fragments, just be-
low the level at which glacier marks come
to an end, tell us that it lifted its head
alone above the desolate waste of ice and
snow. In this region, then, the thickness
of the sheet cannot have been much less
than six thousand feet, and this is in keep
ing with the same kind Of evidence in
other parts of the country for wherever
the mountains are much below six thou
sand feet the ice seems to have passed d.
rectly over them, while the few peaks ris-
ing ON the heights are left untouched
The glacier, he argues, was Gods great
plough, and when the ice vanished from
the face of the land, it left it prepared tor
the hand of the hnsbandman. The hard
snrface OF the rocks was ground to powder,
the elements of the soil we're mingled in
fair proportions GRANTEES were carried in
to the lime regions, lime was mingled with
the more arid and anproductive districts,
and a soil was prepared fit for the agricul-
tural uses OF man. There are evidences
all over the polar regions to show that at
one period the heat Of the tropics extend
ed all over the globe. The ice period is
supposed to be subsequent to this, and
next to last before the advent OF man On
this earth.

Food.

Potatoes, which are dearer,fo food than
meat for supply Of flesh, arc far cheap
er rs source Of heat to the body, 60
with this vicw We associate them in our
meals. Cheese gives US cheap flesh but
dear fuel, so VIC take it with bread, which
supplies tho latter economically. 20.
tatoes lay on flesh at an cxtravagant rate,
SO with potato-soup VIC mix peas, add ia
its nutritive value aud to their economy.
The making Of palatable mixtures Of
various kinds OF food forms the art OF
csokery, 1t is maxim as old as Hip.
pocrates, that "whatever pleases the
palate nourishes," it is only when taste
becomes dcpravc4 by indulgence that the
pleasure OF eating becomes contemplate.
Made dishes of the cook are full Of
scientific significance. As an illustration,
let US ask, why are small square pieces
Of bread, fried in lard, sent up with
vegetable soup? Because starch re-
quires to be mixed with saliva before it
is converted into sugar in the act ol
digestion, and as the soup would pass to
the stomach without mastication, fried OF
hard bread protected from the water by
fat, so as to prevent its soItcning, is taken
along with the soup, and compcls mastica-
tion and a flow of saliva. But if cooks
exhibit important scientific applications
they often err from ignorance Of science
All the sapit or tasting ingredients ol
flesh reside in its juices and not in the
solid substance. If the flesh of deer
an OK, a.pig, cat, Or a fox be vel
squeezed, SO as to express their juices
what remains has the same sapid taste
for all of them. For this reason roast OF
slowed meat is generally better Aavourcd
than boiled, and the cook protects :he
juices by pouring melted fat over the
joint during its roasting. In boiling
meat for soup. cold water should be used
at first, SO rs to extract as much Of the
nutritive juices as possible, and the heat
be raised gradually. But if the meat
be wanted in boiled state for itself, ant
not for its soup, then it should be plung
cd at once into boiling water, and siloult
be kept boiling for few minutes so tina,
all the outer aibamcn may be coagulatc !
i'll order to imprison the sapid and nutri
tive juices then cold water should b,
added till the tcmr craturc is reduced tt
100 degrees, at which it should be keep
till the cooking is completed, because thai
heat is necessary for the coagulation o
the colourins matter Of the blood. Il
all cases, 10 more heat than is sufficient
should be employed in cooking. Thus
in making soup, all the fire in the worl,
will not make the water hotter than it.
boiling temperature, at which point il
can bc retained by very moderate cx
pcnditure Of fuel. Violent cbullition

does 10 good, does much harm, not onl,
by wasting coal, but also by carrying of
in the steam much of the aromatic an,
volatile ingredients Of the food.-Gool
