FOOTPRINTS OF GLACIERS.
They Present Serious Problem For
Future Generations.

Future Generations.
The site of New York city was once
buried under hundreds, possibly thou
sands, of feet of ice. Ample proof of
this Is found in many places on Man.
haitian Island, the most tangible being
the footprints" of glaciers. Examine
the surface of the rocks In Central or
Riverside park and you will find nu-
merous peculiar marks.
These peculiar marks, called by ge-
Clogists "striae," are the footprints"
of glaciers. They were produced by
the grinding of pebbles upon the rock
surfaces under the glaciers as the lat
ter moved to the sea.
How long ago 1t was that glaciers
flowed over Manhattan Island Is a
matter of uncertainty. The period has
been variously estimated at from 5000
to 50,O0o years. The present trend
of opinion is in favor of the smaller
estimate. But, knowing as we do
that the site of New York city was gla-
ciated at a time remote or compare
lively recent, the portentous question
arises, Are the glaciers likely to de-
scend on It again? No human means
could arrest their irresistible advance.
Palatial homes, towering skyscrapers,
East river bridges, all the magnificent
monuments of human achievement,
would be ground into atoms and swept
into the ocean.
Striae. or footprints" of glaciers. are
found from the highest northern and
southern ATTITUDES to the equator. Was
the entire surface Of the earth at one
time covered with ice? Some geolo-
gists have taken that view, but the
evidence does not warrant 1t.
That the earth has changed its axis
from time to time and Is still changing
1t Is a fact well known to astronomers.
1t is conceivable. therefore, that in the
course of ages. before the earths crust
assumed its present formation, the
poles may once have been on the pres
ent equatorial line and the equatorial
line where the poles now stand. By
oscillation of the globe and consequent
interchanging of polar and equatorial
lines every part of the earths surface
must have been successfully glaciated.
Such n general lateral movement Of
the earth furnishes a reasonable ex-
PLANTATION of the glacial footprints" ev.
erywhere found.
The north is undoubtedly growing
warmer. Some 500 years ago Alaska
was still covered with Glacial'ice. Five
hundred years from now there will
scarcely be glacier to be found there
except in the highest mountains. "The
next generation will find few of them
with their fronts still In the sea-" says
Henry Gannett in Dellenbaugh's
North America of Yesterday" The
present trend on the earth's axis is to
push the north pole farther north. But
the question is, How long will this
movement continue in the present d.
rection? 1t may continue until Green
land shall come again to have a tenn
perate climate, or it may be reversed
In the near future to bring the Ice back
to the destruction of great cities. This
is problem for posterity. The pres
ent generation need not lose any sleep
over 1t. But some future generation
may find itself confronting a serious
ondition,-William e. Simmons in New
York World.

HaVOc Wrought by Flood

Seldom in the history of transcOnti-
mental railroading has the Pacific slope
been cut off from the rest of the conti-
nent rs 1t Is today.
OF the several transcontinentsl lines
having terminals ON this coast only the
most southern routes are open.
The Central Pacific, Northern Pacific,
Great Northern and other northern roads
are at standstill so far as through
traffic is concerned, every line having
been blocked by floods or snOwslides.
The only open route is via Los Ange-
les and up the coast.
The Central Pacific Is blocked in
northeastern Nevada east of EIko by
foods which destroyed many miles of
the roadbed. No overland trains have
arrived via Ogden on the Pacific coast
for three days, and delayed trains are
held at stations throughout Nevada.
In the north the sudden rise in tenn
perature, following a heavy snowfall
has blocked the lines of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific through
the Cascade mountains.
Small slides have interrupted and de-
layed traffic for several weeks, but the
great avalanches of the last three days
have completely tied up the lines and
caused heavy loss of life.
From all parts of Washington and
northern Oregon reports of impending
floods have been received and 1t Is
thought probable that the railroads will
have new difficulties to face in the low
lands before the mountain lines have
been cleared.

All local heat records for the sec

RUSSIA OFFERS
TO BUILD ROAD
SUBMITS FORMAL PROPOSE
Tl0N TO CHINA
Military Demonstration Rumored II
Present Policy Is Continued In
Observation-Disclosures
Active In Korea
rAssociated Press1


ST. PETERSBURG, March 2.-M.
Korotovicz, the Russian minister to
China, last evening submitted to the
Chinese foreign board formal propo-
sition for the extension of the Kalgan
railroad by foreign capital as an alter
native for the Aigun-Chin Chow rail-
road project.
This was confidentially communi-
Gated to the international powers, with
the exception of China, last week, but
as yet no replies have been received.
China may quite possibly intimate
her intention to build the rest of the
road, like the first section, purely with
Chinese capital, and decline to aban-
don the Chin Chow line, because 1t
will develop quite different region.
The Russian foreign office believes
China will have difficulty in financing
the section of the Kalgan road, as the
abnormal war time profits of the
northern railways in 1904-06 are no
longer available.
Dispatches reporting the intention of
China to permit the AngloAmerican
syndicate to proceed with the con-
struction of the Chin Chow road with
out waiting for Russia's consent have
caused considerable disquietude here.
Russia has communicated to the va
rious powers the notes interchanged in
1899, which bear on the construction
of railroads north of Peking, for which
Russia alleges it was agreed only Rus
sian capital should be employed If the
roads were not built by the Chinese
themselves.
What Russia's further action will be
is not known, but there is talk of a
military demonstration" if China
should persist in her present attitude
in Manchuria. 1t is not believed, how
ever, that the situation has reached
this stage.
Advices from Corea state that Japan
will replace the Corean governors with
Japanese. This is thought to be the
basis of the recent annexation rumors.

NEW YORK, March 2-The recent

''The MeXicans do not seem to ap-

INCOME TAX DELlNQUENTS
NOT TO EXCEED 10 PER CENT
Internal Revenue Commissioner Bases
Opinion on Returns-Total
Over $25 100000

WASHINGTON, March 2.-From
fragmentary advices which have come
