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

tnoy FFeSeht serious Ffooiom = or
Future Generations.
The site of New York city was once
buried under hundreds, possibly thon-
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-
ologists "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 varicusly estimated at from 5000
to $4,000 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 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 eartR-at one
time covered with ice? Some geolo-
gists have taken that view. but the
evidence does not warrant it.
That the earth has changed its axis
from time to time and is still changing
1T is fact we'll known to astronomers.
1t is conceivable. therefore. that In the
course OF ages. before the earth's 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 earth's surface
must have been successfully glaciated
Such general lateral movement of
the earth furnishes 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 gIucial ice. Five
hundred years from now there will
scarcely be Il 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 Delenbaugh's
North America of Yesterday" The
present trend on the earths axis is to
push the north pole farther north. But
the question is, Flow long will this
movement continue In the present di-
rection? 1t may continue until Green
land shall come again to have q tenn
perate climate. or 1t 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 it. But some future generation
may find itself confronting serious
condition. William e. Simmons in New

Citizens of Keokuk are to be given
another chance to watch the river
for the biggest boat" and make trips
early and late to the edges of the
bluff only to find out that the big
marvel has not showed up yet, for
the same company that built the Al
batross is building another of the
same style of craft and expect to
float 1t to it's destination as soon as
finished and the river is high enough.
The new boat is of the same style
as the Albatross and will be used
for the same purpose, viz, ferry to
carry freight and passenger coaches
across the Mississippi at points on
the lower river. The new boat will
be known as the Frisco and was
built for the Frisco road to be used
at Baton Rogue.
At present the boat is launched
but the machinery has not been all
installed. There is no hurry to finish
the boat as 1t will take raise OF
several feet to allow the craft to pass
down the river. In the. event that
the river does not rise this fall the
big craft will be held and sent down
during the high water of next spring.
The bar above Warsaw that gave
the Dubuque so much trouble on her
last trip has been cut away and the
big boat will now have clear pas
sage north as far as Burlington. She
will be up from st. Louis some time

BY E. H. DENU.


Brainexd MINI, Dec. &c. A..
Moody, mayor of Warroad, the city
on the Lake of the Woods, is a great
dreamer and a man who does things.
Recently, Mr.. Moody has had a
great dream, that if realized would
cap the climax of anything ever &C.
complished in northern Minnesota.
1t was to connect the Lake of the
Woods with Lake Superior by way
of the Rainy Lake river and Rainy
Lake. 49,, o.
Some years ago the Canadian
Government made a survey and
estimated the cost of building a
channel large enough to permit
the footing OF barges, having 90
foot draught from Lake of the
Woods to Lake Superior at about
100000.
Just recently another survey has
been made and the Canadians are
thinking seriously OF starting the
work along these lines. r..
Mr.. Moody suggests that perhaps
the United States could be interested
and join hands with our northern
friends in the construction of the
proposed waterway.
He proposes that tae first steps to
be taken is the introduction of a
resolution calling for the government
investigation of the plan. l.
This plan has met with approval
among all with whom Mr.. Moody
has ,conversed, and believes that
when such resolution will be intro
duced it will 60 through with whirl

There are three things necessary

we would have a Road and bridge
fund of 100000. 1t is not enough
we should have 1 mill tax and
in 1912 it would give US fund of
