"%ScRATCHED ROCKS"

They Mark the Course Of Glaciers
, Adown Our Continent.
Throughout the northern United
States, from the Atlantic ocean to the
far northwest and as far south as Ken
lucky, huge powders are found scat
tered at haphazard. The rocks and
lodges are smootbed and marked with
scratches varying from faint lines to
broad grooves two feet deep. Some OF
these powders. weighing many tons,
are SO balanced on a ledge that a slight
touch will rock them. The Indians used
them as alarm BELLS"
The grooves or scratches on these
rocks are as a rule parallel and extend
north and south. South Of the above
mentioned area neither powders moi
scratched rocks can be found.
How came the powders In their 20.
sition? What scratched the rocks?
Agassiz, familiar with the glaciers OF
the Alps. probably gave the true an
swer. He showed that a similar state
Of things is produced today by the gla'
ciers Of Switzerland. These streams OF
Ice creep slowly down from the lofty
SUBMITS Of the Alps through the val
legs to the plains. They bear on their
surface huge rocks fallen from sur
rounding cliffs. The stones frozen in
the bottom of the glacier, pressed down
by the enormous weight of ice above
them, scratch and groove the rocks be-
meath, as the tool of a carpenter gouges
out a piece Of wood.
What was the condition of America
when similar effects were produced :!
Instead Of local glaciers scattered In
the valleys, the whole surface now COW
cred with powders must have been
hidden by an immense sheet Of ice.
Judging from the marks IN the rocks,
the sheet moved from the north toward
the south, carrying with 1t masses Of
rock.-Harper's Weekly.

Expectancy of Life.

All insurance is calculated upon the
probable length Of time a person has
to live. This is called the average ex-
%pectancy. Many elaborate tables have
been made up by the insurance COM
panies, some based upon one set Of
data, some upon another, and conse-
quently they vary slightly. The Brit
ish life annuity tables, a fair calcula-
ton, show that a man Of fifty has a
natural expectancy Of living PIP years,
a woman Of the same age 23.5 years;
at sixty his expectancy Is 14.8 years.
hers is II years; at seventy his Is 9.5
years, hers 100 years.

WOMEN ARE WISER.
They Take More Kindly to Near Side
Car Stops Than Men.

Topeka women are taking more kind
ly to the near side stops than are the
men according to railway men. And
the women are learning faster where
to place themselves to catch the cars
than are the men
The first day the new rule went into
effect the greatest trouble was in find
ing prospective passengers far enough
back of the first crossing to be op-
posite where the rear end of the car
stopped. Hundreds of people waited on
the first crossing, but they did not pay
sufficient attention to the announce
ments of the change to walk back The
rules announced advised patrons to
take a position forty feet back of the
crossing
There is still lots of trouble on this
account, but the women are making
much less trouble than the men.
The first day few patrons had to
be left because they refused absolutely
to cross the street. In some instances
conductors and motormen shouted
themselves hoarse trying to persuade
would-be passengers to cross to the
near side after the cars had stopped.

in the past year. The number lost,
worn out or withdrawn from circula-

year." said Miss Caroline Medlicott,
librarian, in her report The largest
monthly circulation was S,S73 in
March, the smallest 5,6o3 in August
The library reflects, in way, the
life of the people. A hot fire and a.
hot book are undeniably connected
with the clustering month of March
for the high school and college stu
dents, who discovered their ignorance
in the midyear exams. Nobody wants
to read books in August.
The report declares rnat the work
of recataloguing the library according
to the Dewey system has progressed
slowly, and the need of additional
help in the work is felt. There are
only four employees in the library
with the exception of Sheriff. Smith,
assistant reference librarian. Miss
Adelaide Bolmar is in charge of that
department, and Miss Henrietta Alex
ander of the Juvenile room. The Ii

time of the regular staff is so occu-
pied with the routine affairs that they
can do but little in the catalouging
work. 1t would be greatly facilitated
if the services of one additional per-
vided time could be given to the me-
chanical part of the work.
There were S2,639 books loaned for
home use, in comparison with ~. 100
in 1910. About LASS new cards were
issued in 1912, the largest daily aver

Failing in their persuasion there was
nothing to do but pass them by strict
orders having been given not to make
the usual stops under any circum-
stances.
Now comparatively few wait on the
far side of the crossing. But there is
still a big loss of time on account of
people insisting upon waiting for the
cars on the crossings.
There have been any number of
amusing incidents in the change of
stops. One large man late yesterday
afternoon stepped on West Tenth car
after running across the street from the
far side.
Il have missed my car four times to-
day. he told the conductor, by wait
ing on the wrong side. 1 am just get
ting it in my head where 1 ought to
wait"
In another week or so the street car
men believe much of the present trou-
BILE will be avoided, and that passengers
will wait in the proper place.
