The other one was at the soul hern end of Salt Lake, and was in the shape of widely extended overflow. and what proves that to be the case is the clear evidence of there h1vjng been two lakes covering thi, region. one of which, Salt lake, still exists, though much diminished: and al, that rema ns Of the other Is that extensive marsh at the head of the ku~at:jem river.

Trout said, the flow split at King mount ain, one part coming down Dry creek and the other part down Anvil creek. Dexter creek need not be taken into consideration. for it has only acted as a suice-box from the forks to near it's mouth, where it ap- breaches what one day may prove to be the old channel, though many feet lower than when the stream existed. Ice and other agencies having entirely destroyed it, the ice-stream that came on the east side flowed through the gap at the head of Dry creek: thence came to rest, and finally perished between Dry, Bourbon and Holyoke creeks, as ex- plained by MT. Trout: here it dropped whatever value it had, but had left much more in its track from nature's great concentration to work on. The other part of this ice-stream came down Anvil creek. carving out its pres ent general course, cutting and de- stroyinG this old bed again.
 There was another overflow from what we may call the Nome river ice flow, that took western course on the north side of King mountain, and carved out Glacier creek, striking this old channel to the north of Srow gulch, and there, too, completely oblterating it. This last point of intersection is by no means positively proved, but every thing goes to show that the told river was very crooked, from beyond Rock creek to the divide bet ween Dexter and the head of Anvil. This ice-how came to rest on the Snake river, bottom, and

 koop at the last meeting of the Alaska Academy of Sciences:
 TN attempting the above subject I do
 1t with reluctance. for have not .A made glaciers, or glacialiOn, a
 special study. I have only studied it in connection with other destructive agencies that have been used in the tearing down and'building of the later geological period. and when one come, to thiSfar north, where the destruction is so great. and the agencies SO strong tother than that of. glaciat ion) it is diff cult ,o say positively W bat he agency is thet nature has made use of III her economic plan.
 That ice has had some part ,n the work there is no doubt; tthat the flow has from necessity been a short one, as to distance Out we must not for one mOmenL forget the vastness of time when considering anything in connec- 'tiOn with this earth's construction. ] That there has been.a wide interior sheet of ice one cannot doubt, if he takes the peninsula into consideration, and makes a study of it's surface.
 The ice-sheet covered the ground 'frOm Fish lake, or Lake Minerva, to the high ground, or watershed, between the streams that empty into Kol zebue sound and the straits. and the streams which empty into the Kusatriem river, 'and thence into Port Clarence; com 'mencing thence at the foot of Salt lake, it extended little north of east along the entire length of the KusatTem 'river, and how much farther have no means of knowing, not having been over the ground, but it extended quite "a distance eastward.
 One reason for calling this an ice sheet is,t s,tthat it requires fall of forty feet, or more, to the mile to give ice emotion; the greater the fall the more speed, and this entire region is very fiat, and glacial action could only be local. and that could only occur within this region, as the main ice-sheet per ished. This peninsula had very much 'the r ne climatic conditions surround ig kauring the ice period, that now .surrSund Greenland, it being nearly s.rrearded by water, causing a heavy precipitation of snow, which piled up on this'interior bed, as the warm ses- son w@s'too short to permit all of it to melt.
 There were two outlets to this vast accumulation that have fallen under my observations; one that was compar- atively narrow, and cross-cut a solid bed of crystalline rock, which, being very hard, resisted the wearing down. which the softer formations would moi have done, and that is why there is a divide between the heads of Nome and Pilgrim rivers. Had the rocks been as soft as they are on either side of the divide, the Pilgrim would now be mingling it's waters with those of Nome 1river. as the flow, of ice was sonthward.

Costly Drugs.

Unless you are a druggist you
have no idea of the value represented
by little shelf in the prescription
department of a big drug store. 1t
is one of the wonders of the world
that drug stores do not furnish the
same temptation as banks to knights
of the chisel. A pound jar of hyos-
coanine is worth just $2,24O the
world over. Jaborine is little less
presumptuous as to price; it costs
$1,000 pound and is used to cause
perspiration. Ergotine crystals cost
the druggist the trifhing sum OF
$500 pound. They are made
from the ergot of rye. Margarine
goes ergotine crystals one better and
costs $1,000 pound. It is used as
an expectorant in bronchial troubles
and as an emetic.

Wanted a Pattern.

A ragged Irishman was charged in
a London court a short time ago
with rendering counterfeit shilling
in payment for penny loaf.
Though forlorn in aspect, he was
not destitute of that shrewdness
which is characteristic of his country
men. he stated that he was sent
for the loaf by person at public
house close by, who gave him the
coin to pay for it, and that on dis
covering it was not good ne bought
the coin for three half-pence.
The Magistrate-"How came you
to buy the shilling after you had
discovered it was a bad one?"
The prisoner, with much apparent
gravity, replied:
''Sure, then, your honor, I bought
it so that if I should happen to have
a bad one offered to me I might
know it by looking at the one l had
with mel
There was burst of laughter, and
the fellow was dismissed with a

In order to save the lives of its en-

Illinois Central has just issued an Or
der which requires all fiagmen sent
back to protect the rear of a train to
remain standing and not sit upon the
track to await the approach of a train
from behind. 1t has been shown that
many brakemen sent back to flag yield
to a temptation to sit down and, falling
asleep, are killed. while in some cases.
where aroused in time, they save their
own lives. but are unable to check the
speed of a train and a collision results.
In addition to remaining standing,
the f1agmen must remain in the center
of the track until recalled so that they
will be clearly seen by engineers COM

aroused much complaint from crews.
but it is being given wide approval by
those who realize it's merits.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR cATARRH.
Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times a
Day and Be Cured.

If a few years ago some one had said
you can cure catarrh by breathing air
charged with healing balsanl, the idea
would have been ridiculed and it re-
manned for that eminent investigator,
r. T. Booth, to discover in Hyomei this
method of cure.
Hyomei has performed almost mirac-
ulous cures of catarrh and is today
recognized by leading members of the
medical profession as the only adver-
tised remedy that can be relied upon to
do just what it claims. The complete
outfit of Hyomei costs but $10O. and
consists of an inhaler, medicine drop
per and a bottle of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler
for a few minutes four times a da|
and It will cure the worst case of ca

cous membrane of the air passages.
prevents irritation. and effects a COM
pIete and lasting cure.
In Topeka there are scores of well
known people who say they have been
cured of catarrh by Hyomei. If it does
not cure you, Geo. w. StansHeld, 632
Kansas avenue, will return the money
you paid for Hyomei This is the
strongest evidence that can be offered
as to his faith in the remedy.
