Mysteries of Nature

ICE DRIVEN PLANTS AND ANIMALS.

Before the glacial period the plants
which now flourish in the latitude of
Virginia and North Carolina were
growing in happy family In Spitz.
bergen, northern Greenland, and on
the Arctic shores OF North America.
Arctic expeditions have repeatedly
brought back from the middle tertiary
deposits north of Disco island the
embedded leaves and fruit OF mag.
nolias, sassafras, hickories. naples,
poplars, birchcs, lindens. southern
cypress and several species OF Sc.
quotas, including the gigantic forms
now found only in California. and
three kinds of ginko trees now pc.
culiar to Japan. The evidence of
these fossil plants is conclusive that
Just before the glacial period there
was a warm climate all around the
north pole.
Until the theory of the origin of
species by natural selection was &c.
cepted, and the facts about the glacial
period brought to light this distribu-
ton OF trees and plants was a pro.
found mystery. For the solution OF
the problem We are largely indebted
10 the late Prof. Asa Gray. who I'm
1853 read a paper before the Ameri.

the flora Of Japan, which attracted the
attention Of the scientific world and
opened the way to the full exposition
of his theory, which was set forth in

ence at Dubuque, la, in 1872. The
way had been prepared for this work
by the fact that the large collection of
Japanese plants gathered by Commo-
dore Perry's expedition in 1857. which
opened Japan to the world, was placed
IN his hands for examination. The re-
suit was that 1t appeared that there
vas striking similarity between the
plants Of Japan and those OF the Altai
mountains, OF the Himalayas and the
eastern portion Of North America,
and a striking dissimilarity between
the plants OF these regions and those
Of the Pacific slope of North America,

nlance was between the plants OF
Japan and those of eastern United

Insects also, as well as plants and
the larger animals. we're compelled to
reckon with the glacial period. Among
the most interesting illustrations Of
this occurs in the White mountains,
where various Alpine species of but.
terflies are found near the summit. In
ascending Mount Washington one
suddenly encounters near the top
whole swarms OF butterflies (Oeneis
Semidea): so that, as Prof. Samuel
Scudder has said, so far as insect

cies which they represented would
slowly spread southwark until tho
glacial period had exhausted itself
and the extreme limit OF favorable
