which was brought by the ice from
Canada, measures II by Is feet, with
eight feet out of ground, and evidently
much larger mass under the ground.
But Prof. Orion has described a mass
of Clinton limestone in Freeport, War
rem county, Ohio, which is three
fourths of an acre in area and 16 feet
in thickness, which has been brought
several miles. The central part of
northern Iowa contains great num-
Der of powders of exceptional size,
brought from several hundred miles
away. One of them furnished build
ing stone enough to construct all en-
tire church.
Although these transported powders
are such striking witnesses to the slow
but majestic movement of glacial ice
during the glacial period, they are by
no means the only ones. AS the ice
slowly crept over the surface frag-
ments of rock became frozen into it's
lower strata, and powders, gravel,
sand and clay were dragged along be-
meath it, furrowing and scratching
and polishing the surface of the rock
to an astonishing degree. Almost
anywhere over this glaciated area the
removal of the soil will reveal
scratched and polished rocks under
meath. The direction of the scratches
and the grooves shows the direction
in which the ice was moving at the
time they were made. This was, in
the main, outward, toward the mar
gin of the glaciated area which we
have described, but there were many
curious variations. In central Ohio
the direction of the glacial scratches
is southeast, whereas on the islands
in the western part of Lake Erie it
is very nearly west. At Logansport,
Ind, extensive grooves and scratches
have been found where the movement
is toward the north. This variation
in the direction of the grooves and
scratches indicates that there were
eddies in the ice, such as are found in
the current of a deep, slow-moving
stream of water. The grooves on the
islands in the western end of Lake
Erie are among the most remarkable
in the world. One groove, in hard
corniferous limestone, was about 20
feet broad and eight feet deep, extend
ing for a long distance across Kelley
island. The surface of this groove is
most finely polished, corals and other
fossils being cut off as sharply as
could be done by any graver's tool.
The direction of these grooves in the
bed of Lake Erie is evidently due to
the fact that the depression of the
lake diverted the ice movement in it's
closing stages in the direction of it's
longer diameter toward the natural
outlet on the west.

BUILDING COLLAPSES,
TWO men killed
AN OLD BUILDING IN MlNNEAPO-
LIS BEING TORN DOWN SUD-
DENLY GIVES WAY.
Fourteen Men Were on the Building at
Work When the Roof Suddenly
Fell Carrying Most of Them Into
the Cellar.

Minneapolis, July 1.-While four
teen workmen were tearing down an
old brick livery stable on Seventh
street south the front portion of the
dilapidated structure suddenly gave
way at O'Clock yesterday afternoon
and in the crash which followed two
men are known to have been killed,
three were seriously and several
slightly injured and three who can
not be accounted for may be buried
under the tons of debris that fills the
basement.
The dead are:
G. w. Hardy, crushed by heavy
timbers.
George johnson, crushed by tim
bers and brick.
The injured are:
Joel Benson, skull crushed.
E. S. Robinson, foreman of crew,
painfully bruised.
Roy Tremble, scalp lacerated and
body bruised.
Andrew Johnson, hand cut.
Stanley Roberts, cut on head; not
serious.
Henry Hanson, William Murphy
and Robert Bacon, who are believed
to have been in building at the time
of the collapse are missing.
The livery stable was being torn
down to make way for the erection
of vaudeville theater to be known
as the Miles house. Work had been
in progress for several days.
E. S. Robinson, foreman in charge
of a crew of men, was removing a
coping weighing half ton from the
top of the Seventh street wall when
the coping fell on the roof, breaking
the beam and sending the root crash
ing down, carrying brick walls and
lower floors with it.
Instantly a great cloud of black
dust filled the air and the agonizing
cries of bruised and bleeding victims,
pinched between great timbers or
half buried under brick and mortar,
brought crowd of eager spectators
who were powerless to give imme-
date aid.
Foreman Robinson went to the roof
of the building shortly after O'Clock
to remove the heavy coping from the
triangular cornice of the front wall.
The workmen with block and tackle,
prepared to remove the heavy piece.
A hole was cut in the roof through
which to lower the rock. The stone
was loosered and for moment it
swung in the air supported by the
tackle. Then something went wrong
| and the rock fell. The old beams
weakened by age, could not with
stand the impact and gave way.
E. s. Robinson and George Johnson
who were standing on a temporary
platform built on the third floor, had
absolutely no chance of escape. G.
w. Hardy, Joel Benson and Roy Re-
mole, though on the roof had no op-
portunity to run. They were hurle ed
downward and with the other two
men were buried deep in the wreck.

The story of the glacial period has
not been half told. Its wonders are
increasing every day. 1t is the last of
the great geological epochs, and has
not yet passed away. Greenland is
still shivering under the rigors of
glacial conditions. With the excep-
ton of narrow belt of mountains
around the southern end, the whole
continent, some 100000 square miles
in extent, is still buried beneath ice
from one mile to two miles deep,
while the antarctic continent, with a
still greater area, is so completely en-
veloped in ice that explorers have yet
been able to penetrate only the
merest fringe at two or three points.
But during the glacial period prop
er the ice to a depth of more than a
mile covered 100000 square miles
Of North America and 100000 square
miles in Europe. In North America
the southern border of this ice field
extended into the ocean off the New
England coast, rising like a great ice
wall out of the water, and westward

commemorate the memorable attack
on Fort Ridgely by the Indians on
August %, 1862. 1t is proposed to
make the forty-sixth anniversary Of
the battle reunion of old settlers
and survivors Of that historic struggle.
The Indians at that time laid siege to
the fort, but were repulsed by the val
liant defenders. The fort was set on
fire by the Indians several times, and
the defenders, under a rain of shot
and shell, extinguished the blaze in
each instance. E
Some years ago the Fort Ridge1y

Minneapolis-One life was lost and

wfndstorm which swept across the

Henry H. Fortwenger, 1924 Morgan
avenue north, a coach carpenter in the
employ of the Omaha road at the Min
neapolis shops, was killed.
Fortwenger and friend, August
Krick, 1925 Lyndale avenue north, a
passenger coach inspector of the Oma-
ma road, had gone to Shady Oak lake,
mile and a half southwest of Hop
klns, for days fishing When the
storm broke they sought shelter in an
abandoned shack or summer house on
the shore Of the lake. The wind
wrecked the building and a heavy
beam fell across Fortwenger's chest,
crushing 1t. Krick crawled out unin-
5ured, and at once began tearing away
the tfmbers of the house to rescue his
friend. Fortwenger died soon after
being taken out.
Fqrtwenger was about SO years old
and leaves wife and three or four
children. The body is now at Stro-

BIG ROCKS GO FAR

the former extent of the Swiss
glaciers, Agassiz went to Great Brit
ain, and came to America, and initi-'
ated those Investigations which have
shown the spread of glacial ice over
the areas already mentioned. Scandi-
navian powders cover northern Ger
many, and are found 700 miles south
east at Kief in Russia, found at Tus-
cumbia, 60 miles up the Usage river,
which comes down from the Ozark
uplift to the south They are also
found on the south side of the Kansas
river as far west as Lawrence and To-
peka, while windrows of them are
found in central Dakota which have
been derived from lodges in the vi
cinity of Lake Superior.
The size of these ice-transported
powders is certainly surprising. Sew
eral in Switzerland which have been
moved more than 100 miles would
weigh more than a thousand tons
apiece. The celebrated Pierre-a-Bot,

At Madison, N. H., there is a bowlder
