ICE.
What Il Has Done for she world aud May
DO Again.


Ice, as a geological agent, has PLAYED
a most important part in modifying the
past and shaping the present features of
the earth, and producing large portion
of the deposits which form its surface.
But in considering the relations ofglacia-
ton to the history OF organic life on the
earth and to the early development of
man, and in contemplating its possible
relations to the career of the human race
in the distant future, Prof Shaler finds
the subject invested with an interest
greater than belonging to any other
branch Of geology. In the light of re-
cently-acquired evidence it is certain
that man existed before the last glacial
period and survived its trials; and it is
equally certain that the earth has been
repeatedly subjected to cold periods,
which have covered the continents again
and again with sheets OF ice such as now
only occupy a small space of lov-lands
about the pole and the uppermost levels
of the higher mountains. Prof. Shaler
believes that there is no reason to expect
an early recurrence of such cold period,
nevertheless one might need such re-
assuring belief i'm considering the pecu-
liarly delicate adjustment which, in his
Introductory chapter he points out as
existing between the conditions of tenn
perature and moisture and life on our
planet. Life here would be impossible If
the temperature of the whole earthssur
face should, for a considerable period of
time rise above 100 0degrees or fall below 80
degrees Fahrenheit. range of only 1872
degrees; yet the range of temperature in
the universe around and near us is said
to be enormous beyond conception. The
surface Of the sun cannot have temper
ature of less than 100000 degrees Fahren-
heit, while the temperature of some por-
ton of the space between the earth and
the sun is probably not less than 250 de-
grees below zero. II is the vapor Of
water in the atmosphere which, acting
like blanket, prevents the escape into
space of the heat essential TO terrestrial
life. If line 100 feet long be taken to
represent the total range of temperature
in the solar system, a length of little
more than one inch will represent the
utmost limits of the range of temperature
at which organic life, such as now exists
on the earth, can possibly maintain its
existence. Under these circumstances
one might fear that a fatal change of
temperature at the surface of the earth
might be too easily brought about by
some slight accident" liable to occur in
a much better regulated universe than
ours sometimes appears to be.-The
Mutton.

The Prevention OF Disease.
Dr. Felix L. Oswald in the Popular Science
Monthly.


"Prevention is better than cure and
far choaper," said John Locke, 200 years
ago; and the history of medical science
has since made it more and more prob
able than in stricter sense of the word.
prevention is the only possible cure. by
observing the health laws of Nature, a
sound constitution can be very easily
preserved, but, if violation OF those
laws has brought on disease, all we can
do by way of curing" that disease is to
remove the cause; in other words prfrehi
the continued operation OF the predls'
posing circumstances.
Suppressing the symptoms in any other
way means only TO change the form OF
the disease, or to postpone Its Crisis
Thus nercurial slaves will clense the
skin bv driving the ulcers from the sur

Will the Earth be u Comet ?

1t is not altogether impossible, says
Professor Draper, that the earth may be-
come comet. 1t is altogether more
probable that il was comet before it
became steady going old world. At
any rate, science furnishes no more rea-
son for the one inference than the other.
II is known that the nebulp visible in
the heavens are in various conditions of
world formation, some of them slowly re-
yolving around a centre Of their own,
some of them with nuclei indicating
cooling and condensation, while others
are but enormous masses of matter in a
gaseous state. The structure of the earth
leads geologists to the conclusion that it
was once fiery-gaseous, and afterwards
molten mass, requiring an inconceiv-
able time before being so far cooled as to
form a crust, with smaller bodies, like
its satellites, cooling sooner, have passed
through respective stages of existence,
and are now without life on their sur
faces, and, az generally described by
Professor Watson, are "burnt-out cinders
rolling the heavens"

Why Gras-hoppers Flourish.
Baltimore American,


The wholesale destruction of the prai-
fie fowls in the West has brought a
heavy punishment in the grasshopper
and army worm visitations. Instead of
being rare calamilies they are now
things of almost yearly occurrence in
some portions of the West. Parts of
Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and Iowa
sre now swept by the army worm as by
ronfaaration, leaving nothing green be-
hind 10 be seen. In one place the trees
are said to be "as devoid of verdure as a
hoop-skirt."
Unless the prairie chickens--whose
food consists chiefly of insects and their
larva-are protected from determination
oy rigorous game laws, the grasshoppe-
and army worm pests may increase, and
at no distant day breed famine in this
now flush and fat country.
