Sore Disappointment of Hunter Who

Missed AN hex.
The ibeX IS of a light-brown color,
the males being rather darker than the
females: but the oldest males undergo
complete change in appearance, be-
coming light gray, with a clearly-de-
fined black shoulder stripe, which
gives them very smart appearance.
1t is a sight to stir the heart of a hunter
to see such a one summing himself on
some tower of rock, and, by way of
morning exercise, bending his head to
the ground and driving his sword-like
black horns into some bush, of which
he makes hay in about two minutes.

Celestin carried my rifle to one end
where it was more sheltered. We
made a fire at the other end, and were
sitting over it, when, with a fixed stare.
Omar pointed with his finger over my
shoulder. There, about hundred
yards off, was splendid male ibex

horns which curved back nearly to his

three like that on the mountain. He

HOW MARBLES ARE MADE.
A Description of the Different Processes of
Manufacturing This PnnmIar Toy.

haluIaciurlnS ms Popular Toy.
Several kinds of marbles are on sale
in the stores. and the process of manu-
facture depends on the kind. The large
glass marbles. with various objects in
closed, are made by moulding the glass
around the object. Just as glass paper
weights are manufactured. The small
brown marbles and the variety known
as ''pottcries" are made by moulding
the clay, then baking and sometimes
glazing the spheres. Those made of
agate and of limestone, or marble, are
mostly manufactured at Oberstein in
Germany, and two or three places in
Switzerland and Italy.
The material is worth nothing, being
the refuse of the agate or marble
works. The selected pieces are broken
by hand-hammer into small cubes,
which are then placed, a bushel or two
at time, in a hollow iron cylinder,
shaped like & drum. The interior sides
are ribbed, and a stream of water flows
through the cylinder, which is put in
rotary motion by a belt connected with
the shaft of a steam engine. The ire
m ndous speed creates Il very lively
notion among the blocks of agate or
marble, and in a few moments the
corners and edges of the stones are
worn away, and each has assumed an
almost perfectly spherical form. Agate
marbles are afterward polished in a
similar drum lined with leather and
supplied with powdered pumice stone,
while those of marble are hand painted.

Date of the Glacial Period.

The theory that the glacial period
was due to astronomical causes is dis
carded by Mr.. Warren Upham, since
geological evidence shows that not many
thousand years have elapsed since the
disappearance of the ice sheets. The
measurement of the gorge and falls at
st. Anthony, the surveys of Niagara
Falls, the rates of wave cutting along
the sides of Lake Michigan, the rates of
filling of kettle holes, and the rate of
deposition in the Connecticut valley at
Northampton, Mass, all indicate that
the time since the glacial period can not
exceed ten thousand years. There is
evidence that the cause of the cold
period was great uplifts of the glaciated
area, probably in conjunction with i'm
portant changes in the course and
volume of the warm ocean currents

at the back: others are quite fiat at the
back and front. and have all the full
ness concentrated on the shoulders,
which continue to be high, either nat
urally by means of the cut of the gar
ment or fictitiously by ruches or puffs
set on outside or roll inside. Most
capes are unlined, with stitched edge
or, if of firmly woven cloth, merely cut
edges. Very handsome wraps have a
thin silk lining. The trimming is con-
centrated on the collar or on the yoke
when there is one. Summer capes are
being made of Lyons lace, with lace
frills and ribbons for trimming. FLAIR

kindred varieties are on many of the

to six inches, straight, and rolled only
at the edge, others narrower and more
rounded outward. -Chicapo Post.

The Opening Weak-Strength in

NEW YORK, september D.
Railroad bonds displayed the usual active
trading. All the active issues betrayed marked
strength in the forenoon, but none of them
tanned more than a small fraction of the i'm
provement at the close. Laclede Gas fives, how
ever, are per cent higher at 70. The total
transactions reached $22l6,OO0 out Of which
S525, 900 were Atchison incomes, $109, 900 Allan
tic and Pacific incomes and 1921 COO Texas Paci-
fic seconds.
Stocks opened weak, most of them being down
from Is to IS and Rock Island 1 per cent. The
demand was urgent, however, and the temper of
the speculation soon changed for the better.
After some slight hesitation an upward move
ment was inaugurated, which lasted with little
interruption until noon, when in most OF the &C.
tive list the highest prices were attained. The
Vanderbilts and especially Canada Southern and
Nickel Plate second preferred led the advance,
| but later Lake Shore G. G. c. and st. Louis and
| the Chesapeake and Ohios became prominent.
| At different times New England, Reading and
