Note From Eastwood Buele.

Somebody took the rope of the bell
In the fire engine house to use for q
clothesline, and now, when there Is a
fire, the constable has to climb up
into the tower and ring the bell with
hammer. Somebody took the ham
mer the other day. and. when Hank
Purdy's corncrib ketched fire, the con-
stable had to hurry down to Hill
ker's store for to borry a hammer.
Hilliker had lent his hammer to Dea-
con Renfrew. who lives four miles out
in the country, and by the time the
constable had got there and hunted
around In the barn for the hammer
and got back to the engine house, the
angry elements had done their worst

Care of chiIdren,s Teeth.

The Lancet, in a strong plea fur
better care of the teeth of English chill
dren, which, it says, lis matter Of
the first Importance to the country"
declares that tooth brush drill is Of
little value when carried out during
school hours; to be of value it must
be carried out at the proper times, the
most important of all being the last
thing before going to rest" This med
ical authority thinks, also, that "a well
organized crusade throughout the
country on the Importance of the teeth
and the technique of their proper care
would be followed in generation by
an immense improvement in the health
Of the nation, and. from the point of
view of the combatant services, by an
enormous decrease in the percentage
Of recruits rejected for defective
teeth"

At the One Horse.

Jere L. Sullivan, the head Of the
Hotel and Restaurant Employees In
ternational Alliance, said in Cincin-
natl, apropos of Labor day:
Our American hotels are better
than they used to be, and for this bet
terment my organization deserves no
little credit.
I'VE have today no such hotels as
the One Horse of Tin Can, where, If
you asked for bath, they used to
give you shovel and tell you to go

Be that as it may, the fact remains
that over certain centers-one on the

another on the west Of it, the Kee-

ually changing into ice, accumulated
year after year in such immense thick

own weight, motion began, and three
giant glaciers crept out over the ad-

asked: Did the man ahead of me

lite as large as a small cabin could be
lodged on top of a mountain when
there Is no similar rock within a hun
dred miles or more, we must trace it's
history back to time at least 100000
years ago, when the geologic period
called the tertiary was drawing to it's
close.
The first fact to attract our atten-
zion, could we have taken a birdseye
view of the northern part Of our con-
tinent at that time, would be its great
er extent than at present. Looking
eastward we would see the shoreline
extending in places a hundred miles
beyond the shoreline of today, and in
vain would we scan for the islands,
bays and reaches that now lend such
enchantment to our picturesque coast.
Northward the land probably stretch
ed unbroken over the present arctic
archipelago, and connected on the
east by way Of Greenland, Iceland and
the Scandinavian peninsula with Eu-
rope and on the west by closing Of
Bering strait with Asia.
This circumstance had very impor-
| tant bearing on the fauna of that day,
as 1t enabled the animals from the one
continent to cross to the other. Ma
king a closer inspection Of the land
scape beneath us, we would be sur
prised at the total absence Of the
smaller lakes that now are its most
characteristic feature. Even the great
lakes we're missing, with the possible
exception of Lake Superior, while in
the valleys in which these latter now
lie flowed rivers belonging to one
or more systems.
The mountain groups Of today we
would recognize at once, notwithstand
ing their somewhat more rugged out
line, and the same would be true in
the case of the rivers. While we
would see a number Of them in
strange courses, the master streams
we would know at first glance. Fol
millions of years these had been cut
ting their channels undisturbed, unit
at the close of the tertiary new i'm
petus was impaired to them, owing Il
the recent rise of land and the ever
increasing humidity of the climate
So we would probably see them tur
bulent and swollen and the sides o
their water courses often precipitou
and Jagged. overhung in places b,
great lodges and loose blocks readil,
dislodged by the least force.
The climate over the whole cont
nent was semitropical, or at least ten
perate, and such plants as the big an
great red woods of California grew a
far north as Greenland and Iceland
And through the almost endless wood
OF the north roamed herds of mastC
don and other herbivore Of great siz'
together with such beasts Of prey a
the now extinct saber-toothed tigel
But we find no trace Of man.
Over this strange and magnificer
world the ice swept down so suddenl.
as geologic time is reckoned, ths
most Of the then existing animal an
plant forms, pushed south before II
advance, had not time enough to adaI
themselves to their new environment
and therefore became greatly altere
or exterminated.
As yet there has been no good re
son assigned for a change that in
comparatively short time transforme

difference in time at which the vari-

development, we will be very nearly
the truth in saying that from the
southern limit, shown on the map,
northward the ice lay in one unbroken
eXpanse, with the exception of the So
called driftless area and possibly one
of the highest mountain peaks in the
east 1t is calculated that it's thick
ness at the two eastern centers must
have been something like 5000 to 10,-
600 feet.

quently the ice would lift great bowl
ders from the bottom of valley to
the top of mountain.
Presently the ice began to retreat
before a more congenial climate. 1t
was not at first, however, a steady re-
treat, as not less than four times the
ice again advanced after having al
most vanished, and each time 1T was
followed by animals and plants adapt
