THE GLACIAL PERIOD.
A New Theory to Account for the Great
Ice Deluge.

A New Theory to Account for the Great
Ice Deluge.
Before the Technical society of the
Pacific coast, San Francisco, Marsden
Manson, engineer of the harbor COM
mission, lately advanced theory to
account for the formation of the glacial
period.
AS basis for his theory, he laid down
this general law, as he called it: A ter
restrial sphere, in passing from under
the influence of interplanetary heat to
the influence of solar heat, must eX-
perience a glacial period, because of
the remarkable properties under differ
ent degrees of heat and cold possessed
by water.
The earth was once q ball of fire. AS
it began to cool crust formed, and the
air around. the earth began to be cooled.
This caused the aqueous vapor in the
air to form water. But the internal
heat of the planetwa still intense, and
an immense radia zion of heat and cor
responding condensation of vapor aris-
ing from the seas went on constantly.
Solar heat had not yet penetrated
the cold atmosphere between the
sun and the earth AS the heat of the
earth decreased, the condensation OF
vapor surrounding the earth as fog and
cloud increased, until layer after layer
of condensed vapor surrounded the
planet Successive ice shells were
formed nearer the earth, and finally
shrunl1 down to it. Then the glacial
period was on the earth. But the heat
of the planet now ceasing to affect its
crust, there was no more vaporizing
going on. All was ice and snow; the
mists and vapors were cleared away.
Then the sun had good chance, and it
was not long before his rays pierced
through the ether to the ice-bound
earth. The ice began to melt, and the
glacial period began to decline. When
it was over, the earth's crust had passed
| under the influence of solar heat, and
the seasons began. -Scientific Ameri

A boy about ten years of age got
aboard of a Fourth avenue car at Forty
second street with parcel under his
left arm. The car had scarcely entered
the tunnel when he began to unwrap
the parcel, and it was soon discovered
that he had a bottle of ginger ale He
carefully looked it over, gave it vigor-
ous shaking up, and then his curiosity
led him to examine the cork. Among
the passengers who took notice of him
was man with a satchel, who had
just come in on the train, and he finally
said:
"Bub, you don't want to be foolin
with that cork"
who's a-foolin'?" queried the lad, in

Miss Sarah Fuller principal of the
Horace Mann School for the Deaf, in
Boston, has won considerable and we'll
deserved prominence as teacher OF
mutes Her success with little Helen
Keller, who is both blind and deaf, and
whom she succeeded in teaching TO
speak and write, has indeed been won
derful The child's rapid progress un-
der Miss Fuller's tutelage was made
the subject of an essay at the last meet
ing of the American Association to
promote the teaching of speech to the
deaf. Helen was possessed of oil the
faculties and senses of healthy child,
so far as was known, until upon recov-
cry of serious illness, at the age OF
eighteen months, it was found that she
had lost both hearing and sight In
1887 she was placed under the instruc-
ton of Miss A. NJ. Sullivan, where she
developed astonishing genius. In 1888
little Helen paid visit to the Horace
Mann School, but it was nearly two
years later before any effort was made
to teach her to speak Miss Fuller, in
her essay, describes the child's first les
son. 1t was a task that required much
patience, for Helen was obliged to learn
how tous her organs of speech by feel
ing her teachers mouth and throat, and
the tongue and teeth She was an apt
pupil, however, and in a short time
could pronounce the vowels and some
of the consonants. She received her
first lesson March 26, $780, and April 10
of the same year, while at the house of
a friend, she gave an account of visit
she had made to DIR. Oliver Wendell
