SHELDON JACKSON COLLEGE.

One of the signs pointing to Salt
Lakes future greatness is the rapid
increase in educational facilities. Her
public school system already ranks
with the best, and its high standing
will be maintained and improved. The
University of Utah is gaining ground
at rapid rate, both in the number of
students and in the class of work done.
With its new buildings and equipment
it promises to be one of the great edu-
cational institutions of this western
slope. Now comes Sheldon jackson
college. which is to erect a new build
ing and gradually develop a we'll
matured plan for another center of
learning.
The nucleus of the new college
classes has been formed in the excel
lent preparatory instruction given by
the Collegiate institute, and the out
look for the college is most hopeful.
No better use OF money can be found
than in such institutions as these. and
their value to the community is be-

LIFE in KENTUCKY.

henVucky's Democratic state con-
Ventlon still continues its exhibition of
the fun southerner can get out of
politics when he tries. North of the
Ohio such a gathering would be
clammy, sodden affair, conducted ac-
eording TO, Roberts or the Marquis of
Queensbury. as seemed necessary. In
Kentucky it is different. Rules cut
little figure. The delegates sing if they
feel like it or withdraw for a quiet
catch-as-catch-can behind the conven-
ton hall. When the chairman gets
hungry he brings forth paper bundle
containing fried chicken and eats,
calmly as one should eat. The report
fails to say what he does if he gets
thirsty, but it is a safe bet he doesn't
have to leave the hall to quench his
thirst.
After awhile the convention will have
had its fun, and then it will nominate
candidates. Meantime the delegates
are enjoying life-an occupation of i'm
portance in Kentucky, as it should be
elsewhere.

CARE is NECESSARY.

Alfred Burnley OF Utah made mis-
take. He undertook to see the sights
of our national metropolis alone. II
was a piece of folly of which he Will
doubtless be cured when he is able to
leave the hospital Westerners who
visit New York City should go in
groups for mutual protection.
Alfred was rudely elected from an
elevated car to which he had been
misdirected He complained to a
policeman who swatted him over the
cocoanut with his official billy by way
of A reioinder. When Alfred recovered
consciousness ne went to another
policeman on a distant beat and re-
lated his adventure. To show how
well drilled in the manual of arms are
the metropolitan police this one struck
him similar blow at the same point
in his narrative.
Then the foolish man, as if nothing
could satisfy him went to police head
quarters and lodged a complaint. Why
he might have been beaten to death!
Doubtless his very audacity is all that
saved him. 1t pays to be careful in
cities where prize fights are carried on
under the nose and with the approval
of the police department. Men who
never have an adventure in a lifetime
amid the scenes and characters of the
wild and woolley west would better
carry Winchesters when they take in
the sights of the Mecca of aristocracy
and culture 1t is easy enough to beat
OF the footpads in citizens clothes and
get rid Of the bunco steerers. But they
should watch the police if they value
their lives.

Work Accomplished by the Ice of the
Glacial Epoch.
The ice of the glacial epoch. like all
other glacial ice, performed geological
work on a scale proportioned in some
degree to the thickness of the glaciers
their duration in time and the area of
the region upon which they operated.
The work of such ice is largely me-
chanical. Three processes are involved
destructive, translative and con-
structive- The destructive effects
wrought within the limits of glaciation
during the glacial epoch need only be
mentioned. The ice was certainly, in
some instances, thousands of feet in
thickness. 1t flowed for distances
varying from ten to 500 or 700 miles. In
North America alone IL covered half
the continent. The volume of rock
material that was crushed and ground
and reduced to finest rock flour exceeds
computation. The glaciers of this
epoch were effective agents of trans
portation. An immense volume of loose
detritus was carried forward in various
ways by the ice, TO be deposited scores
or hundreds of miles from the initial
point of its tediously slow Journey
Preglacial valleys 500 or AGO or 500 feet
in depth were filed with glacial de-
bris. and extensive plains are now
found buried under similar material to
a depth of scores of feet. The size of
the fragments seems not to have at
fected either the rate or the ease of the
translative process. for powders of

Examples of Modern Glaciers.
In geology the present furnishes the
key to the past. The correct interpre-
tation of geological phenomena is
possible only to him who is familiar
with the agents and processes whereby
effects are wrought today The glacial
epoch, therefore, is Ineligible only TO
the student of modern glaciers. The
Alps furnish typical examples OF
glaciers gathering on mountain heights
in the very presence of the observer,
and flowing down the mountain valleys
until they reach a point at which the
ice is melted. All the glaciers of the
Alps, however. are terminated bv COM

and 1000 feet above the sea- On the

quite to sea level. Some indeed reach
the sea, push out for some distance
along the bottom and are wasted, not
by melting, but by the breaking from
the ice front of large masses which
are fioated off as icebergs. All these
voirs of ice fed by precipitation
from the clouds that continually
hover over the great snow

Greenland and on lands adjacent

miles have their sources on surfaces
that rise but little above the level of

Footprints of Extinct Glaciers.
Before accepting a fact so startling,
so marvellous, so contrary to all eXpec-

science may well ask how it is known
that pOnderOus sheets of ice flowed

What the Name implies.
The records of the glacial epoch
furnish one of the unique chapters in
geological history. The epoch derives
its name from the fact that during Its
progress sheets of ice gathered in great
force over certain portions of the
earth's surface, which for the time
being were special centers of accumu-
lation, and spreading thence by the
natural laws of ice movement, eventu-
ally covered extensive areas. particul-
