 Old Earth Has Had Many "Ice Ages"
 Everyone with intelligence interest in the history of the world on which he lives has heard of the glacial epoch,' or the ice age. It is. however, not strictly correct to speak of the ice age" or the glacial epoch" for there have been many of them. It is now known that even this latest or Pleistocene glacial. epoch had several important subdivisions, and it appears that in the Rocky Mountain region the time between the glacial subepochs was so long as to permit great changes in the form and height of the noun tains, due. to a wearing down by erosion.
 More than 50 years ago English geo1ogists recognized the fact that certain masses of gravel and breccia and certain planed and grooved rock surfaces in rocks of Pernian age in India indicated a glacial epoch vastly older than that of the North Ameri- can ice sheets. but only within the that glacial conditions have recurred at many different times in the earths history. The evidence of this fact has been found in all continerts-in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, South America, and North America Great ice sheets were formed at different periods in the larger divisions oi geologic time back to the Protefozoic that is, to the age of the oldest known sedimentary rocks, great many million years ago.
 One of the most recent discoveries of old glacial deposits is made by Prof W. W. Atwood, of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. near Ridway, in south. western Colorado. Prof. Atwood there found typical glacial 'fill." containing
 pebles and bouldellj showing well. preserved scratches and other mark ings, lying beneath Tertiary lavas oi the San Juan Mountains and resting upon Uper Cretaceous bews The conditions of the occurrence show that ! these gravels are of early Eocene age
