GLACIERS.
Their Formation and their March.

Their Forma Ion and their March.
Teresa c. C.Crofton. 10 November St.NichOlas. !
In high valleys, among the noun
tsins whose tops are covered with
perpetual snow, are often found seas
OF ice, called "glaciers." They are
formed thus: Snow that falls upon
lofty mountains Inelts very little even
in summer. So in valleys high uD
smong the mountains it gathers to
great depth, and, from the weight
{ the snow lying above, the lower
layers become icy, as a SNOWFALL does
when squeezed. The upper crust
inells little dnring The heat of the
day, and the water sinks down through
the snow, and then freezes at night.
From this melting and freezing the
mass OF snow is soon changed into .
sea Of ice.
Remember that when water freezes,
It expands. II we fill bottle with
water and let it freeze over night, in
in the morning we find that .he bottle
g cracked by the swelling OF the ice.
So II Is with the water that forms
glaciers. When il freezes, il stretches,
and pushes It's way down in whatever
direction the valleys slope.
Glaciers Of to-day are much smaller
than the ice- seas of long ago, but still,
in studying them, we learn TO under
stand the old glaciers.
In travelling down valleys those
ancient glaciers lett traces OF their
journey. Over all the places where
tho ice-se passru, the rock are
rounded and highly polished. field
of these rounded rocks, when seen
from a distance, looks like field filed
with sheep crouching on the ground
and Swiss geOlogists have called the
| rOcheS UfOnHreS-:sheep.like rock. "
| In valley along the summit of the
| Rocky Mountains, near the "Mountain
ut the HOLY Cross" there is q beautiful
display of these polished, rounded
rocks.
| As the glaciers moved down the
valleys, great rocks, frozen last in the
ice on the sides and at the bottom,
scratched and marked other rocks ~
they passed by and over them. Some.
times these scorings are very broad
and deep, Tor the immense rocks the
glaciers carried were like strong
powerful tools in the grasp of a mighty
engine; sometimes the lines are at
fine as those OF line engraving. They
usually run all one way and by looking
at the direction in which the lines run
one can tell the direction in which the
glacier moved. In the sandstone wesl
uf New Haven, Connecticut, the deep
broad scorings can be plainly seen
unning toward the southeast. Th,
height at which these scratches occur
tells ns something of the depth OF IN,
ice.
Markings in the White Mountain
indicate that the ice was more than
mile deep over the region now know
~ northern New England.

Ia the astronomical record of the

ey ents OF especial popular interest will
be the meteoric display which will take

dashes through this zone the meteors
are attracted toward the earth by the
force of gravitation, igniting when
they enter our atmosphere because OF

The reason why a woman is afraid Of

never been very closely proven that she Is.
But some women are constantly In such

this unfortunate state of affairs is usually
some functional arrangement; some Distress
ing or painful irregularity, some derange-
ment or peculiar weakness incident to her
sex; or, II may be due to Inflammation, ul-
ceration or displacement, of some of the
pelvic viscera, or to other organic LESSONS

CAUSES OF THE REPUBLICAN
DEFEAT.
From the Globe Democrat. |


The democrats have secured the
house of representatives OF the fifty
second congress. Their exact majority
could not be told at the time the Globe.
Democrat went TO press. 1t is enough,
how ever, 10 give them ready and abso-
lute control of that body. Their pre-
ponderance will be much greater than
that which their opponents could COM
mand at the beginning of the present
congress. They will not be subject to
the accidents and chances which handi-
capped the republicans through iOur-
fifths of the session which closed a
month ago. At all times and under all
easily CO ,.ceivable circumstances the
democr 8 will he able to hold a quo
rum for the transaction of business.
1t is not difficult TO point out the i'm
mediate causes for the republican re-
verse; TO the federal elections bill and
the tariff must the result be chiefly at
tributed. An unfortunate mistake was
made by the republicans in persisting
i'm their endeavOr to pass the former
measure i'm the face OF the opposition ol
the leading republicans OF the south
for whose imagined benefit the bill
was being pushed, and against the pro-
test of the masses of the party in the
west. The blunder is patent enough
now to the most pronounced and per-
sistent champions of the measure, and
there is not much likelihood of its
enactment in the coming session.
1t WIS through the tariff law, how
ever, that most of the damage was in
flicted on the republicans. The law, o.
course, is far from being ss bad as the
democrats have pretended to believe il
to be. A few of its provisions, though
have afforded some ground for part o
the opposition which the law has called
out. While no portion of the act offer
any justification for the falsehoOd
which the democratic editors and stumI
orators have uttered, yet there ar,
schedules in 1t which serve to max,
part of those falsehoods credible. Tier,
