Sand eao for siekroom.

One OF the most convenient articles
to be used in n sickroom is a sand bag.
Get some clean. fine sand: dry It
thoroughly In pan on the stove.
Make n bag about eight inches square
of flannel. I'LL 1t with dry sand. sew
the opening carefully together and
cover the bag with cotton or linen.
This will prevent the sand from sift-
ing out. and will also enable you to
heat the bag quickly by placing 1t in
the oven or even on the top OF the
stove. After once using this you will
never attempt to warm the feet or
hands Of a sick person with a bottle
OF hot water or n brick. The sand
holds the heat long time. and the
bag can be tucked up TO the back with
out hurting the invalid. 1t is a good
plan to make two or three OF the bags
and keep them on hand. ready for use
ut any time when needed.

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 q 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

Aileghenies in northeastern Pennsyi-

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

Armed with these facts concerning
the former extent Of the SWISS
glaciers, Agassiz went to Great Brit-
ain and came to America, and init
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 10
peka. while windrows Of them are
found in central Dakota which have
been derived from ledges in the VI
cinity of Lake Superior.

His Appreciation. A

When Patrick McGinnagan became
a member of the Chicago police force
last week. a delegation OF his friends
burst in upon him while he was at
dinner and presented him with q
handsome night stick in honor of his
popularity and their esteem.
Completely bewildered by this unex.
pected token, the new policeman
nevertheless struggled to his feet and
stammered his appreciation.
"Frinds. ye have upset me wild VI
kindness" he said. fiourishing the
night stick. "Oi'll try an do me duty

Art In Ice Cream Molds.

It Is almost an art now to design
molds for ice cream. Often the Gus
toners of the large shops suggest
what forms they wish the cream or
ice for q certain occasion to assume,
and the caterer arranges to have tho
idea carried out. In this way many
odd molds are acquired. Flowers and
fruit are always q favorite. One may
have roses to match the color scheme
Of the table decorations. There are
also tiny automobiles. Teddy bears"
and dolls.

meath 1t. 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 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.
Tr<s 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 its
longer diameter toward the natural
| outlet on the vest.

In Europe the ice fields radiated from
the Scandinavian peninsula. extending
across the North sea to southern Eng
land. and across the Baltic to central
Germany and southeastern Russia.
In thinking Of the glacial period 1t
should be kept clearly in mind that
glacial ice is simply compressed snow.
Glaciers are formed wherever there Is
a snowfall which exceeds the melting
power of the warm season. Everyone
Is familiar with the fact that snow
ball may be made as hard as Ice by
sufficient pressure in the hands.
