they are defeated by the 81 stem of con-
Quoting elections, under which the polls
are surrounded by partisans from whom
the voter has to obtain his ballot and in
whose presence he has to cast it. The
method of voting IN Canada, where the
voter, passing from public sight, enters
a room where he is furnished by an Off
cial with ticket of each party, thence
passes to a second room, where, unob-
served, he selects the ticket he wishes to
vote and destroys the other, and then,
entering third room, deposits his bal
lot and passes ont, is the best method
extant for securing not only secret but
free and independent ballot. 1t ought
to be adopted everywhere. - Trenton

ICE.
Whas It Has Done for tho w orid and
May l,0 Again.


May lo Again.
Ice, as q geological agent, has played
o most important part In modifying the
past and shaping the present features OF
the earth, and III producing large por-
ton Of the deposits which form its sur
face. But in considering the relations
of glaciation to the history of organic
life on the earth and to the early devel-
opment 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 that belonging to
any other branch of geology. In the
light of recently-acquired evidence 1T 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 peri
dds, which have covered the continents
again and again with sheets of ice, such
as now Only occupy a small space OF low
lands about the pole and the uppermost
levels of the higher mountains. Prot.
Smaller believes that there Is no rea-
son to expect an early recurrence Of
such q cold period; nevertheless one
might need such redssuiing be-
lief in considering the peculiarly
delicate adjustment which, III his IN
troductory chapter, he pc nts out rs ex-
isting between the conditions of temper
AZURE and moisture and lite on our planet.
Life here would be impossible If the
temperature of the whole earth's surface
should, for considerable period of time,
rise above 100 degrees or fall below b
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 u tempera-
ture of less than 100, 900 degrees Fahren-
heit, while the temperature OF some por-
ton of the space between the earth and
the sun. is probably not lie than $50 de-
grees below zero. 1t Is the vapor of
water in the atmosphere which, acting
like a blanket, prevents the escape into
space vf the heat essential to terrestrial
lie. 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 us now exists
on the earth, can possibly maintain its
existence. Under these circumstances
one might fear that q 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 r. gulated universe than
ours sometimes appears to be.-Ihe
