EXPERT DESCRIBES
peat \ | FORMATION \ A On
Prof. G. A. Davis Of q. s. Blu
reau Of Mines Gives Interest
ing Data on Boys.

Minnesota Peat bogs were described
! by Prof. Charles a. Davis Of the
United States bureau. of mines, Thurs
day afternoon, in paper read before
the American Peat Society. Mr.. d.
Wis., who is considered one Of the
| worlds greatest peat experts, attri-
| buted the thousands of acres of peat
land in this state to the melting Of
the ice following the period of the
great glacier in Minnesota Speaking
| on this feature Prof. Davis said:
THE ice was in the form Of two
great sheets, advancing from at least
two centers which in Minnesota lay
ITO the north and northwest. The ice
! lasted q long time and materially al
tered the face of the country. It
| melted back to the north with tenn
porary halts.' -. p:
Tells of Melting Process.
while melting, it deposited the
| mineral matter which was contained
in the body Of the ice as an irregular
sheet of rock debris. Extensive ridges
! OF mixed gravel, sand and clay mark
places where the front of the ice sheet
halted during times when the ice
| melted only as fast as it moved for
| ward those periods when the melting
went on faster than the forward
movement.
where conditions were favorable,
the water from the melting ice ran
| off in broad sheets or formed shall
low rivers which rapidly filled their
channels with sand and other miner
! al matter. In places where the con-
,>ier1,k =
lakes of greater or less depth.
Plains Follow Ice.
| Among the results of the condi-
tions attending the final disappear
ance of the ice, was the formation
of large areas Of poorly drained plains
which in time became clothed with
vegetation. -
AFTER this the water excluded the
air in the peat areas and they were
kept wet all the time. Thus the peat
is composed of partly decayed vege-
tation., In the peat we find all stages
OF plant decompositions, sometimes
near the top it is more decayed than
at a considerable depth where we'll
preserved bones are frequently found.
AS the peat accumulated the grass
started to make a covering and kept
the water from running out or evap-
Grating. -@s "
Animals Aid Peat Production.
Throughout the history of the
boys, animals have taken a much
greater part than is usually supposed.
Beaver dams and the bones Of the
animals are found throughout peat
deposits. These dams kept back the
water and blocked all the streams.
There are indications in many places
that after the areas flooded by the
dams had grown up to peat the beav-
ers moved on to other places, fire.
fquently on the same river. and began
the work again. "
I Il have never been able to find any
material difference in the kinds of
peat in Germany and America except
In the species of plants In many
places, both in this country and
abroad, there: is every indication that
the peat for a considerable depth is
made up Of the same kind of vegeta-
ton that is now growing on the sur
face" -~~-~s ~'''>

GOOD GAME AT
ATHLETIC PARK SUNDAY

The game between the Milwau-
kee and South Tacoma Tigers
next Sunday afternoon at Athletic
park will probably be one of the
best amateur games of the sea-
son, both teams play snappy ball,
and are well matched. The game
will be called al 8 D. m. sharp.
Both teams have a large follow
ing of rooters, who with their tin
horns will make it interesting.
Ely will do the heaving for the
Tigers and Mitchell for the Mil
waukee. These two boys are in
a class by themselves, as they
have already proven by their good
work this season.

BIG SPECIAL

SEATTLE, May 14.-Seattle's
lnffeld was too good in yester-
days game and Bonner's pitching
was exceptionally good, while Ia
coma with Kurfess on the mound
didn't do quite as well and the
result was a Seattle victory by
the score of to 1.
Seattle's fielding record was
marked by four double plays
which is going some.
Bonner pitched fine ball, keep
ing his hits scattered until the
ninth. when 1t looked as IL the
Tigers were going to make an
eleventh hour finish. Even Tea
ley Raymond grew pessimistic
aud he sent his relief corps out TO
warm up to and await orders.
Kurfess for Tacoma pitched
good, too, but the Seattle boys
found him for hits when hits
were needed. in the fourth three
hits were secured off his deliv-
cry, and two in the fifth. These
meant four runs, enough to win
the game.
Killilay put all the Tacoma bat
tiers out In the first inning when
three flies we're knocked out in
his direction, all of which he
gobbled easily.
Bloomer for Tacoma did re-
markable work in stopping Kill
lilay's hot grounder.
