Glaciers are rivers OF ice fed by the
eternal SHOWS" of high mountain
ranges such us the Alps. They wear
out their own valleys as rivers do:
they transport mud. sand and stones tn
great distances. In some cases sending
them sealed up in icebergs to float far
out to sen and on melting deposit their
burdens on the sea floor. on the coast
of Newfoundland northern icebergs
are depositing great mass Of "gla-
cial drift"
The sea is a great denudlng agent:
but Its work is more constructive than
destructive. It Is the workshop where
nearly nll the stratifled rocks have
been accumulated and ranged in layers
or strata. The rivers and ocean cur
rents continually bring in fresh sup
plies OF debris even for hundreds OF
miles.
Man. compared with the lower ami
mails, produces but little effect as ge-
illogical agent. Stiu the human race
has considerably modified the dlstribu-
tIon of plants by cutting down forests
and by cultivnting certain plants to
supply foed. So with animals. Ger
tnlE useful species have been cultivat-
ed and enormously increased at the
expense OF others which prove useless
or harmful.
But p!s.:ts and animals have had.
and still have. fur more influence geo.
logically. Coal seams are made up Of
vegetable remains Of former periods.
Forests have an important influence
on climate and on animal US well us
plant life. In the comparatively I'M
known world of the ocean marine
plants doubtless have important func-
tons.
Marine animals accomplish vast
amount OF geological constructive
work. Great deposits thousands of
feet thick owe their existence to small
calcarcous creatures living in the sen.
Coral reefs afford the most familiar
Illustration.
The force known as heat Is of great
Importance. The earth Is hotter below
the surface and probably has very
high temperature toward its center.
In some places not very far below Its
surface 1T contains highly heated rock.
which occasionally flows over the sur
face during volcanic eruptions. In
other places we find hot springs in con-
nection with volcanic action.
Heat exercises powerful influence
on rocks deeply buried below the
carth's surface. chiefly by means Of
heated water and steam. In this way
rocks have been very much altered
or "metamorphosed." TIL" crystalline
schlsts have thus been brought to their
present state by series OF chemical
changes due to heat, and there is no
Doubt that they were once ordinary

Broad Discrimination.
"Nor do 1 mean that women ought
always to stay at home and keen
demure and solemn. Recreation and
amusement are essential to health
full life in man as woman. But when
one begins TO regard amusement as
the chief concern of life and to spend
large proportion of her afternoons
and evenings at clubs or absurd So
ciety functions, then intellectual
and moral deterioration is sure to
set in. You young ladies, If you are
wise, you would despise young
man who had no higher aim than
that, no better use for his time, no
more interest in nobler pursuits.
But why should you be less aspiring
than he? Why should your time not
be as valuable, your interests as
broad as his and your mind as noble
as his?

aud deplorable in the world of bust
ness-so much selfishness, SO much
loose morality, so much downright
lying and dishonesty.
Another peculiar source of temp
tation to young men is in the fact
that so little in moral way is de-
manded of them If young woman
gets drunk or allows the white flower
of her chastity to become furnished,
she is branded as reprobate. But
we allow all kinds of indulgence lo
a young man almost as matter of
course. Aud yet drunkenness ia
just as dangerous and just as degrad-
ing to man as to woman, and we
ought to be honest enough and
courageous enough to tell our young
friends so, in order that they may
be warned against SO serious and
deadly form of temptation.
Temptations of Young Women.
"And now | trust you young ladies
will not count me ungallant for say
ing to you very candidly that there
are also temptations to which you
are peculiarly liable. The peculiar
traits of manhood, as we see it to-
day, have been developed on the
battlefield. Those of womanhood
haye been developed in the beauti
full seclusion of home. The protec-
ton thus afforded her and the
blessed ministry of love to which
she has devoted herself have de-
velored many noble traits. But
again they have left her one-sided.
She is defective in those elements
which we designate by the word
strength. She is peculiarly liable to
become the victim of her nerves of
mere sensationalism. Nine-tenths
of the petty fads and isms that curse
the world to-day would die il they
were not supported by women. Last
year there was miserable fake in
town who professed to be able to
predict the whole future career of a
body by looking into its hand. A
lady went down to have her child's
future unfolded and found 80 many
ahead of her that she had to wait
three or four hours before she could
get access to the prophecies. l in-
CURED how many of this expectanJ
throng were men. The answer was,
not one. This is only one of the re-
suits of excessive emotionalism
There is whole catalogue of them,
some of which, doubtless, will readi-
ly occur to you.
"Woman's peculiar conditions of
life subject her to special kinds of
temptations. Her work in the home
is largely made up of lot of petty
duties-at least, they are apt to
seem so. II not considered in their
larger meanings aud relations. And
this begets tendency to intel
/ lectual nervousness, which shows
itself in petty vanity, in exaggerated
attention to dress and devotion TO
frivolous and contemplate forms of
amusement. Do not misunderstand
me. / do not mean that women
ought to wear Quaker bOnnets and
sombre gowns. There is a real
power in personal beauty that may
be exercised for noble ends. l be-
lieve women were made TO look
pretty and that every woman ought
