The Glacial Period.

NO 1acC In geology Is more clearly de-
monstrated than that in some remote pc
Rod of the past the Northern Hemisphere
of the globe down to the fortieth paral-
lei of latitude was submerged and
capped with ice as Greenland now IS.
That was the glacial period, the traces
of which are found on the surface of en-
bedded rocks. in the morains of glaciers,
and the powders which were carried in
those vast morning rivers of ice and de-
posted at great distances from their ma
tive locality. ,.-:.... .-.s... ....-.
In both Europe and America are found
the bones Of animals, the survivors of
of which are now to be found IN the high
Arctic ATTITUDES, and those of some ex-
tlnCt species, such as the mastodon, the
woolly hippopotamus and aurochs crea-
lures that could not live in Southern Eu-
rope or America. The race OF which the
Esquimaux, the Firms, and Lapps are a
remnant, then spread over the continents,
and lived by hunting and trapping the
various animals that belonged to the age
of ice.
But how was the change of topography
and of climate etfectedg Not by any
cataclysm or convulsion of nature, though
that theory was once maintained. The
work Of subsistence was gradual, as also
the emergcnce Of the land. 1t was due
to what is astronomically known as the
procession of the equinoxes. At least,
this theory is now generally received
among scientists, and Is ingenionsly
demonstrated by Mr.. 81. B. Norton in
tho October number of the Popular
Monthly.
We could not, without the aid of dia-
gram, illustrate the nature of this process
sion. Sufficient to say the earth's axis Is
not always parallel to itself. 1t is sub
ject to very slow gyratory motion in
an opposite direction to the revolution of
the earth, molten estimated at about so
degrees minutes year. The rate of
this motion having been ascertained, it
is easy to calculate the length of time re-
quired before the earth will occupy the
same position with respect to a line
drawn through the greatest diameter of
its elliptlcal orbit that it occupies to-
day. g5s s
This period is estimated at $1,000
wears, and is called the Great Year. In
computing this long procession Of equi-
noctial changes, it will come to pass that
when the earth is at its greatest distance
from the sun, the South instead Of the
North Pole will be turned toward it, and
the succession of the seasons will be re-
versed. That is to say. our winters will
be longer than our summers, as in the
southern Hemisphere is the case now.
That hemisphere has now a winter Of 1877
days and q summer of 179 days.
1t may be reasoned from this that more
ice accumulates at the South Pole during
the long winter than is melted in the
short summer. And such is found to be
the fact. According to Mr.. Norton the
ice-cap of the Antarctic continent, about
8 900 miles in diameter, is gradually &C
cumulating. The Arctic ice-cap is much
smaller, and honeycombed at that by the

THE influx of immigrants to Eastern
Oregon and Washington territory IS re-
ported larger this season. The reason as
given is that settlers have now little to
fear from attacks by rowing bands Of In
dians. The NezPerces have been removed
entirely. The other predatory tribes have
been compelled to go upon reservations,
in addition, one large reservation has been
thrown open to presumption and home
stead settlement. One effect Of this in
creased immigration is the increased de-
velopment of the agricultural resources
of the country. - ----. u \
