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

lney present 0erlouS TopieHi tut
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-
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 it was that glaciers
flowed over Manhattan Island is a
matter of uncertainty. The period has
been variously estimated at from 5000
to 10000 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 it
That the earth has changed its axis
from time to time and Is still changing
it is fact well 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 oIice 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 q general lateral movement Of
the earth furnishes q reasonable ex-
PLANTATION of the glacial footprints" ev-
erywhere found.
The north is undoubtedly growing
warmer. Some 800 years ago Alaska
was still covered with glacial ice. Five
hundred years from now there will
scarcely be a glacier to be found there
except in the highest mountains. 1.-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 1t may be reversed
in the near future to bring the Ice back
to the destruction Of great cities. This
is a 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 q. Simmons In New

GETTING Into a Life Buoy.

The average person In danger OF
drowning usually attempts to lift life
buoy over his head. with the result
that he is Immediately plunged deeper
into the water. A good swimmer can
do this with sudden upward jerk. but
with the nonswimmer 1t is almost an
impossible feat. What he should do
when be has seized the buoy Is to
place both hands. palms downward. on
the buoy on the part nearest the body,
pressing 1t downward and slightly
away, WREN the farther part Of the
buoy will rise out of the water and
actually fall over the head. The arms
can then be put through easily, land
there you are"

Missionary Institute.

On Tuesday night and Wednesday
July IL and 13 tie first of series
of missionary Institutes to be held
in the Rockingham District, M. E.
Church South, was held at Central
Church, Crabbottom. The Rev. B
w. Bond, under whose direction
and leadership these important
Missionary meetings are conducted
succeeded in securing for these meet
ings speakers whoproved themselves
equal to the occasion.
Never in the history of era blot
tom Methodism has the subject of
Missions been presented with such
force and power, certainly never
has such interest been manifested
as was evidenced in the fact that
the Church was packed to its utmost
capacity, and many could not find
seats. The rapt attention, the
many subscriptions tothe Mission
airy paper $50 Forward" the eager
reception of tracts on Missionary
subjects, showed that these people
wanted to know, and we trust to
do their whole duty in regard to
this great work. The three charges
Crabbottom, Monterey and Nc
Dowell, in the interest of which
these meetings were held, were well
represented, ample provision have
ing been made for their entertain
ment.
The program for the occasion
commenced on Sunday with a
sermon by the presiding elder on
the subject of christian Giving. I"
Monday night Rev. w. l.. Lawson
of Franklin, preached from text
."and WHO'S my neighbour" Tuesday
Rev. H. A, Wilson preached on
"The relation of the Holy Syirit to
Missions" to large and attentive
congregation. On Wednesday
morning by 9 o'clock the people
began to gather in large numbers
and at 9:3O DR., Bond, P. E. open
ed the services for the day with a
half hour prayer service, with spe-
cial reference to Missionary work.
At 10 A. NJ. Rev. Potter, of Mon
terey, captured the audiance with a
powerful sermon on the general sub
ject of missions. This was followed
by a mastery presentation of the
first Century program for twentieth
Century Execution by Rev. d. l..
Blakemore of Leesburg.
At the afternoon session Mrs.
Wilfred Lawson gave an interesting
talk on "Womans work for the
Missions" followed by Rev. Potter
on the same subject.
Rev. w. Lawson gave some an
swers to objections to missions.
After these three actresses the
Rev. D. L. Blakemore held the
congregation together by + a most
interesting "Chart talk on Facts.
not fancies, about the present world
Missionary task.
At the night session the Church
was again filled to hear Rev D. l..
Blakemore speak on the 'Laymans
Missionary Movement. His manly
appeal to men gripped the congre-
CATION and held them for an hour
in the grip of the largest thing they
ever heard of.
The following resolutions were
offered by the pastor at the close
of the sermon and were adopted.
Resolved 1st That the charge
represented in the Institute, in
addition to the payment in full OF
all assessments for Conference Col
lections, make an earnest effort to
pay twenty five per cent increase
this year on the missionary assess
ments.
2nd That we will urge all our
members to immediate and active
endeavors to accomplish this result.

WAGE WAR ON RATS
Gibson County, Indiana, Citizens Kill
Many Pests Today

Princeton, Ind, June 6.-War
against the pestiferous rat was begun
in earnest today in this State hostil-
ities beginning in Gibson county,
where the citizens observed the day
as rat killing day" The movement for
the determination of the rat i'm this
State was originated by j. r. Strick-
land, young druggist of Owensville.
who is taking great interest i'm the
problem and introduced a ibill in the
legislature, authorizing townships To
pay a small bounty on rat tails. Owing
to the rush of bills during the closing
days of the session the bill was not
passed, but the citizens realizing the
Importance of the problem, readily
supported the plan of waging a whole
sale war war against the rats which
are the cause of enormous damage
and a source of constant danger In
many of the infested districts of the
state. The people of Gibson county
were the first to take up the plan In
a practical way and today was as
signed as rat killing day throughout
the county. Statistics showing the
number of rats killed are not yet
available. but. judging from the ex-
tensive preparations that had been
made for the day IL is safe to assure
that the number of rats in Gibson
county was materially reduced today.

Question Of Jurisdiction in Case

Chicago. June 6.-O'Neil Browne. ac-
cused of completely i'm the alleged pay

posed arraignment of the defendant to-
day for trial by jury in another state
tribunal here, presided over by Judge
McSurely.
Brownies attorneys argued to Scan
Ian that the offense charged was one
entirely for the federal courts.
The fighting for Browne was started
by Attorney James Hartnett in the alb
sence OF former Judge Hancey, who
was to have opened the argument. The
speaker declared fatty that the state
of Illinois had no power to try Browne
and that IL any offense had been COM
mitted the misdeed was against the
United states.
The prosecution was represented by
States Attorney Wayman.
1T is principal of law that an offense
if against the United States statutes
cannot be tried in a state court" At
torney Hartnett asserted.
If the state has some statute COW
ering such offenses, II cannot be ap-
piled when the. offense is against uni
ted States law" AT this juncture
Hancey entered and lost no time in en-
tering the fight.
At 10 o'clock, the time scheduled for
the opening of Brownies trial before

Hancey was still arguing on the habeas

DFPFW CRITICISfS RAILROADS
Says They Should Have Been More
Tactful in Putting Increase OF
Rates in Effect-Conference
This Afternoon.

Washington, June quite a num-
ber of senators and representatives
i'm Congress saw the president today,
and, il Is understood, more of them
talked with him concerning the rail-
road situation.
Senator Depew of New York was
one of the few who consented to give
his views.
Il do not sympathize with the rail-
roads in this instance" no said.
'Srhey should have submitted the
proposed increase in rates to the in
terstate commerce commission, and
sought hearing before that body.
They then could have presented their
case to the public and the chances are
the rates would have been approved,
in part anyway, for there are very
good reasons why The railroads should
increase their rates. Higher wages,
considerations are making 1t neces-
sary for the railroads to revise their
tariffs.
They went about 1t the worst way and
at the wrong time | think the matter
will be adjusted, however and l hope
the railroads will see their way clear

not result i'm any change In the ad-
