AS result of discoveries and in

lurabia University, 1t Is probable that
within the lifetime of this generation
the sound of the human voice may be
made to eneircle the globe. Ocean tele-
phoning is feasible. according to the
electrical engineers who have studied
the discoveries OF Prof. Pupin and upon
whose opinion the officials of the Bell
Telephone Company paid Pupin nearly
one-half million In cash for his patents
and royalty OF $4,000 annually dur
Ing the life of the patents.
AT present 1t Is possible to talk 1000
miles by telephone; when Prof Pupin's
system is put into operation there will
be no limit to the distance that one
may talk by wire. 1t consists In taking

Origin of the Yosemite Valley.


1t is perfectly obvious to those famil-
lar with glacial phenomena that Yo-
semitic is quite an ordinary and neces-
sary product of glacial erosion under
the conditions prevailing in that local
ity. The main glacier came down Te-
maya canyon, cutting it to a steep but
fairly uniform grade. Yosemite valley
is but a continuation of that gorge.
The end of the glacier at the time that
1t was cutting Yosemite extended not
far beyond Fort Monroe. 1t remained
there for a long time and therefore
plowed out the bottom of the valley to
considerable depth. Branch glaciers
Joined the Tenaya glacier when 1t filled
Yosemite, coming down the valleys of
Yosemite, Little Yosemite, Illilouette
and Bridal Veil and other creeks and
forming hanging valleys at the juno
ton points. The formation of the YER
teal cliffs of the valley may have been
due to undermining and may have been
aided by the cleavage of the rocks. On
the recession of the glacier doubtless
the bottom of the valley was occupied
by a lake which has since been partial
ly filled by detritus and drained by the
erosion of MERGED river cutting through
the rock wall at the foot of the valley.
