New Jersey in 0lacIaI Period.

The New Jersey Geological Survey has
in press full report upon the glacial
geology of the State, which will contain
much information of popular interest
During the glacial period the northern
portion of the State was covered with
great ice sheet. just as the interior of
Greenland is covered to-day.
1t extended as far south as Belvidere,
Hackettstown, Dover, Molristown, Sum-
NIT Plainfield. Methuchen and Perth
Amboy. The whole surface was
grooved, scratched and polished by the
great ice sheet, and the powders it held
in its frozen grasp like au engraver's
tool. Many of these polished surfaces
are now visible along the Palisades and
Kittatinny mountains, as well as else
where in the State.

Pigeon Shooting Illegal in rIany
States Including All New England
House Bill No. 2 FavorabIy Com
meuted on-WiII Not Remain in
Legislative Morgue -rIorris County
| Members Heartily Favor the rIeasure
The New Jersey Society for Pleven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals has issued
the following appeal to the newspapers
of the State:
A bill to abolish the shooting of pigeons
released from traps will be considered
by the Legislature of New Jersey now
in session In 1902 such bill was pass :
ed by the House of Assembly by vote
of 43 to Z but was smothered by hos
tile com mittee of the Senate.
In the New England States, New
York and Delaware trapshooting is held
to be cruel and is prohi bited by law. 1t
has been illegal in Massachus etts for
twenty years.
persons, not because the birds are killed
for they are usually bred to be killed,
like poultry sheep and cattle-b ut for
the reason that many of them are not
killed speedily. Poultry, sheep and
cattle are killed instantly and there are
no escapes. But official reports of trap
shooting matches, even when expert
| marksmen fire the guns, show that from
five to twenty per cent. of the pigeons
escape out of bounds. But they do not
all get away unhurt. Many of them are
found in the neighborhood of the shoot
Ing grounds disembowcled or with legs
blown off and in other states of horrible
humiliation. When poor marksmen en-
gage in the SO ca He'd sport the number
lof birds that escape wounded is still
larger.
Trapshooting is mean and therefore
unmanly. The birds are often confine
for several days in small boxes, and
frequently crowded so closely together
that some of them are suffocated or
trampled to death. Those that survive
are then placed IN the traps, and sud
denly find themselves released. More
or less dazed by the reports of guns
about them, they rise on wings likely to
be weakened by the long confinement.
At this moment the sportsman, who has
been standing a few yards away with
his gun ready, discharges it at the poor
creature. We say that besides being
cruel the so-called sport Is mean and un-
worthy Of comparison with shooting in
the field.
Under the general act against cruelty.
trapshooting was held by the courts of
New Jersey to be unlawful In 1889
men who wanted to slaughter pigeons at
the trap succeeded in having the statute
amended so that trapshooting was legal
ized. 1t is now proposed to undo what
these men accomplished fourteen years
ago.
We respectfully appeal to the journal
lists of New Jersey to use their infiu-
ence, as so many did last winter. for the
passage of the act which shall abolish
this abhorrent pastime in our State. and
place us. in respect to it, in line with
the humane people of New England,
New York and other parts of the coun.
try. Last year the bill was earnestly
approved by the Newark Evening News,
the Newark Sunday Call and most OF
the other leading papers of the State.
