 granite powder near Lebanon, O., which was brought by the ice from Canada, measures IT by 13 feet, with eight feet out of ground, and evidently a much larger mass under the ground. But Prof. Orton has described a mass of Clinton limestone in Freeport, War ren 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 an 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 its 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 heath. 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

Australian Shoe Dealers Not Afraid of
 American Goods.

John w. Blythe, head of the Lily dale Tannery Boot and Shoe Manu- featuring company of Melbourne, Aus tralia, arrived in New York the other day on his way to visit his brother in Texas, where he owns a 15,000-acre cattle ranch near Waco, says an ex- change. According to MT. Blythe, American shoes have not yet succeed ed in capturing the Australian market to any appreciable extent.
 You can hardly compete with us in the matter of prices" said MT. Blythe You may do so in other countries, but your invasion boast doesn't hold good in Australia. We have three popular prices for our shoes-$2, S3, and $4.50. Now, your $3,50 shoes, for instance, costs in Melbourne S3.75. That's the minimum price at which the distributors there can realize profit from them. Your five-dollar gho0 is likewise increased hy 25 cents.

BIG ROCKS co FAR

Agassiz built him hut, and conducted many of his important observations.
 The great extent of this glacial movement in former times was shown by the distance which some of these powders had been carried.
 In North America the transportation of powders by glacial ice has been even more remarkable. The back bone of Cape Cod and Long Island a line of hills from one hundred to two hundred feet high, and two or three miles broad. is simply pile of bowl ders and small fragments transported from New England to Canada. Ply mouth Rock is a glacial powder which journeyed from its northern home thousands of years before the Pilgrims set out from Holland Bowl ders from the Adirondack mountains are found upon the summits of the Alleghenies In northeastern Pennsyl- vania. In southern Ohio there are long belts of Canadian powders which can be traced to lodges of rock north of Lake Huron Even in Boone county, Kentucky, few miles south of Cincinnati, a number of red jasper conglomerate powders, some of them two or three feet in diameter, have been found. which came from we'll known ledges in Canada north of Lake Huron. Powders of large size from these same ledges have also been found as far southwest as Keokuk, la. Powders from Wisconsin and Mime sota and Dakota abound in northern Missouri down to the Missouri river, some having recently been uncovered

in the western part of Lake Erie 1t 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 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 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 its closing stages in the direction of it's longer diameter toward the natural outlet on the west

Pity and Eriendshlp.

Pity and friendship are passions in. compatible with each other, and it is impossible that both can reside in any breast for the smallest space without impairing each other. Friendship is made up of esteem and pleasure; pity Is composed of sorrow and contempt. i. the mind may for some time fluctuate between them. but it can never enter. tain both ogether.--Goldsmith.

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 TOO miles south east at Kief in Russia, found at Tus- cumbia, 60 miles up the Osage 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. Sev- eral in Switzerland which have been moved more than 100 miles would weigh more than thousand tons apiece. The celebrated Pierre-a-Bot, a powder above Neufchatel. Switzer- land, measured 50 by 20 by 40 feet, containing about 10000 cubic feet; while another near Monthey contained more than 60,000 cubic feet Ship rock, near Peabody Mass, is glacially transported powder esti- mated to weigh l 100 tons: while Mo- began rock in Montville, Conn. near Norwich. would weigh 10000 tons.

WASHINGTON. June 3O.-After TO-
day. under a parcels post agreement
with Great Britain. parcels up to n
weight limit of eleven pounds may be
mailed to England. Scotland and Ire
land. Postmaster General Meyer be-
lieves that this will materially in
crease the number OF parcels sent to

countries copaoslns it to the Unite,l
States. At the present time. a pack.
age weighing in excess OF four
pounds six ounces cannot be sent In

There are now thirty-three foreign
countries with which we have parcel
post conventions; with nine. the
weight limit is four pounds six ounc-
es. and with twenty-four 1t is eleven

the maximum weight eleven pounds in
all countries.
Owing to the objections OF the ex.

limit will not apply to points within
