great plains, and by a return of the
conditions Of vigorous stream erosion
and new cycle or partial base-level-
ing, by which wide, fat valleys were
cut in the eastern part of these creta-
ceOus plains. This latest uplift of the
Rocky mountains and of the country
eastward l believe to have extended
to the Atlantic coast, and there to have
caused the erosion of the now deeply
submerged continuation of the channel
Of the Hudson river, which reaches
hundred miles beyond Sandy Hook to
a maximum sounding of 2,S44 feet near
the submarine margin of the continent
al plateau, though a nearly uniform
depth of only about 600 feet of water
is found on each side. The late ter
tiary and early Quaternary uplift of
nearly all our continent to a height
from 1900 feet to, probably in part,
5000 feet higher than now appears to
me the most probable explanation of
the ice age, bringing a cold and snowy
climate throughout the year, with con-
Sequent deep accumulation of snow and
ice. But under the great weight of
the ice sheet the continent sank to
it's present height, or, for most of the
northern region which had been ice
enveloped, from 100 to 500 or 600 feet
lower.
Many changes in the courses of rivers
were produced Dy the upward anu
downward and again upward epeiro-
gene movements associated with the
ice age, and by the deposition OF the
glacial and modified drift. In the case
of the Missouri river, Gen. G. X. War
rem remarked, nearly thirty years ago,
that it flows through all its course on
the marginal part of the northern drift
bearing region; and he therefore at
tributed the location Of this great river
TO the obstruction Of the ice-sheet,
which he supposed to have turned it
from a more northerly and easterly
preglacial course. 1t seems very prob
able that the present Missouri is made
up by the union of the courses Of sew
eral independent proglacial rivers, and
that some Of these old avenues Of
drainage underwent great changes Of
location, as Prof. ]. z. Todd has shown
from his explorations and studies Of
the glacial geology of South and North
Dakota Much further exploration,
however, including the present water
shed which divides the most north
eastern part of the Missouri river from
the Souris and Assiniboine rivers and
the lakes of Manitoba, will be needed
to ascertain whether the upper Missouri
was permanently turned far away
from its preglacial lower course by
the vicissitudes of the ice age.

JAMES ESCAPES THE ELECTRIC CHAIR
THE BEDFORD STATION BURGLAR FOUND GUILTY
OF MURDER IN THE SECOND DECREE.

THE BEDFORD STATION BURGLAR FOUND GUILTY
OF MURDER IN THE SECOND DECREE.
Peter James alias Eddie Jacques. was found
guilty OF murder in the second degree. at White
Plains yesterday. in causing the death OF Walker
Il. Adams in the burglary at Adamss store at Bed
ford Station on August 49, 1895 He received the ver
dict with cool smile and thanked the Jurors for
saving him from the electric chair, 10 which the law
and the forc!be charge OF Justice Keogh had seemed
likely 10 consign him. He was remanded until Mon
day. when he will be sentenced to Imprisonment for
life.
Considering the narrow escape James has had
from the fatal chair IT Is doubtful II his counsel
will have the temerity to move for a new trial or
take an appeal. From what some OF the jurors said
after being discharged Il was more sentiment than
any evidence which saved the prisoner from a
yerdic; of murder In the first degree. On the first
ballot they said. they were pretty evenly divided
After little argument they stood on second bal
lot 5 to g. with blank vote. for conviction a. in

mated that the juror in favor OF an acquitai

hin, and stuck out for him until a compromise
agreed on. The jury was locked up all Friday nigh
and did not return Into court until 1915 o'clock yes
terday.
The verdict Is more satisfactory TO the Adams
family than any other would have been, they did
NOT wish 10 have any more lives sacrificed three Of
