NEBRASKA ONCE LAY

Evidence of Former Presence of Sea
Water Is Found in Fos-
sill Shells.

South of Platte river, opposite North
Bend, Neb.. the bluffs are conspicuous
and consist of loess and glacial drift
everything the Benton shale. This shale
was formed when Nebraska was at the
bottom of sea. Evidence of the for
mer presence here of sea water is
found in the fossil shells of oysters and
other animals that live in salt water
and the bones of such sea monsters as
Mosasaurus.
Where the tourist now travels COM
fortably over dry plain these mon
sters sported in the water of the sea
long ages ago. On the shores of this
ancient sea lived equally strange
beasts and birds of types that have
long been extinct, and over it's water
sailed great flying dragons-the ptero-
dactyls. The animals of that day were
strikingly different from those of the

living, had jaws armed with teeth.
the monarchs of the air then were not
in fact birds, but flying reptiles. whose
fore limbs had been modified into wings
by the enormous elongation of fingers
between which stretched thin men,
branes like the wings of a bat.
These flying dragons, some of which
had a stretch of wing of eighteen feet,
were carnivorous; they were animated

BREAKS FLYING RECORD.
H. M. Gordon's Pigeon Comes From
Chicago in Fast Time.

Twelve racing pigeons owned by six
members of the Washington Racing
Pigeon Club were liberated at Chicago
June 26 at SOC o'clock in an east wind
and clear weather. Yesterday morning
H. NJ. Gordon found his Champion En-
terprise at home, his time being two
days, five hours and thirty-five min
utes. This breaks all previous records
from Chicago to the Atlantic coast,
the former record of four days having
been held since 1893.
Champion Enterprise also won second
prize in the race from Rappanee, Ind,
two weeks ago; won a good position in
a 500-mile race last year from Georgia,
and the year previous won honors from
Napanee, Ind, and is the biggest prize
winner of Washington racing pigeons.
This bird has flown nearly 10000 miles
in races and training flights. He has
never made a mistake and has always
been his owners pride.
Mr.. Gordon became famous last fall,
when his two champion young pigeons
broke all existing records in 600-mile
journey, when, had there been the
same amount of daylight as in the sum-
mer, they would have accomplished the
distance OH the day of liberation.

ISLAM SLOWLY GLOWING.
Molokai One of Pretty Bits Of Land
in Hawaiian Group.

Few travellers are familiar with the
Island of Molokai, the fifth in size of
the Hawaiian Islands. and to them
probably the name signifies little eX-
cept as that of a United States leper
settlement. In the more inaccessible
parts of the island, however, the
scenery is wonderful. and there are
many interesting facts to be learned
about this small island which was
formed in the Pacific ocean by two
volcanoes.
Practically the whole southern coast
Of Molokai is fringed by coral reef
from half mile to a mile wide. The
parts of this reef that lie near the
main gulches are gradually being filled
with mud. and thus the island is
slowly growing out southwark. The
soil is nearly everywhere fertile. but
the problem of obtaining water has
not yet been solved and the land is
not put to its greatest use.
There is prosperous-looking town
with regular streets and white cot
tages. Many of the houses are sur
rounded by bright green gardens. and
several churches and larger buildings
may be seen. The leper settlement,
established in 1865, embraces 5000
acres and within its borders live about
1000 unfortunates, isolated by the
great precipice over which a steep and
somewhat dangerous trail leads to the
town.

Gruyeres.

This Swiss town is not in the SwitZer-
land of tourists and guides and elabo.
rate hotels; it is in the Switzerland OF
the Swiss. Even the Englishman. who
penetrates almost every out-of-the- way
place in the world, is seldom seen there
while the American is practically UNI
known.
A white town with red roofs. Gruyere:
lies at the foot of twin peaks. lifting
their crowned obelisks above steep. for
ested slopes. Far below the town is a
wide valley, with little hurrying
river shut in by wooded slopes The
road to the town leads you past very
old houses with projecting caves and
doorways garlanded with blossomins
vines. The inn bears the date of 1885
but despite its age it cares for you
well and feeds you on chunks of bread
and sausages and potatoes and pc
culiar sort of dessert that looks like
pie but isn't.
If you follow the road on beyond the
inn it forks at a wayside shrine. One
branch leads you down into the valley,
the other up through the village to a
single narrow gate in a stone wall
which is the only entrance to the castle
of Gruyeres.
Rich in story is this castle. When the
empire of Charlemagne went to pieces
Gruyeres became an Independent city
ruled from this castle by it's count
The most striking thing about. it's war
like history is the prominent part which
the Swiss women played. Thus when
Peter the Hermit came preaching his
crusade all the men and knights OF
Gruyeres armed to go against the inf
del. but the women had no desire to see
their husbands and sweethearts leave
on such a dangerous mission. While
the preparations were going forward
they locked and barred the gates from
the outside and announced that the
masculine population would be set at
liberty as soon as it promised to stay
at home. But, sad to relate, the war
riors finally smashed the gates and
went away in spite of the women.
At another time these resourceful
women of Gruyeres defeated an enemy
who was besieging the town in most
unique manner. In those days witches
and hobgoblins lived in the mountains
so at night the women took their flocks
of goats and tied flaming torches on
their horns and sent them rushing and
leaping down upon the enemy. who fec

MINERAL DISCOVERIES FIRST.
Impossible to Do Geologic Work in
Alaska in Advance of Former.

Though it is the purpose Of the geo
logical survey to extend its investigations
to all parts of Alaska it sometimes hap
pens that it is impossible to do geologic
work in advance of actual mineral dis
coveries by the prospector. The survey,
however, attempts to follow up the re-
ported new discoveries of valuable min
erals by surveys and Investigations as
soon as means permit. A report on work
inspired by the discovery Of gold in the
Innoko district in 1906 has been issued
by the survey as bulletin SIS. and is en-
titled 1.-The Iditarod- Ruby Region, Alas
ka." by Henry NJ. Eakin.
The investigation seems to have de-
veloped the fact that geologic condi-
tions favorable to the occurrence of
auriferous deposits are repeated in
many places in this part of Alaska, a
fact that augurs well for the future of
the mining industry in this region, not
outstanding the fact that the worka-
BILE gold placers thus far developed are
limited to comparatively few small
areas.

GLACIER AFFECTED NEBRASKA.
Many Physical Features of State
Produced BY Ice Sheets.

Many of the physical features of
eastern Nebraska were produced by
sheets of ice that invaded the region
during and after the earlier stages of
the great ice age. At the opening of
the glacial epoch the great keewatin
glacier spread southwark and covered
large parts of the Dakotas. Minnesota
and Iowa and extended thence into
eastern Nebraska. where it was prob
ably several hundred feet thick. This
first stage of glaciation was brought
to close by the melting of the ice in
a warmer interglacial time or stage
the Aftonian.
A remarkable assemblage of animals
invaded the region after the ice had
disappeared. and the bones and teeth
of many of these animals have been
found in the Aftonian deposits of west
ern Iowa. The late Prof. Samuel Cal
win identified the remains of horses.
camels, stays. elephants, mastodons.
mammoths and sloths. When these
animals lived in western Iowa the eli =
mate there must have been compare
