Many Glacial Periods.

One often hears Of "the glacial
period. or ''the ice age" Of the earth,
but, strictly speaking. this expression
IL not correct II IS now established
beyond all reasonable doubt that this
planet has experienced not one but Q
great many glacial periods. Evidence
has been found which proves that the
latest or Pleistocene glacial epoch, has
several important subdivisions, and
that all OF the present continents have
experienced glacial epochs at different
ages. Great ice sheets were formed
at different periods back to the Pro
terozoic age; that is, the age Of the
oldest known. sedimentafy rocks, q
great many million years ago. One
Of the most recent discoveries Of the
old glacial deposits was made by Pro-
fessor w. W. Atwood. Of the United
States geological survey. near Ridg-
way. In southwestern Colorado. These
deposits were found beneath tertiary
lavas of the San Juan mountains. and
resting upon upper .cetaceous beds.

NOT HURT BIZ WARM CLIMATE
les Is Enervsting to Whites
Dwelling There.

The opinion is widespread in north
ern climes that continuously warm
climate, unbroken by sharp periodic
changes, is enervating and detrimental
to the white man. This opinion is sub
stantiated by considerable variety
of evidence. Exception, however, is
taken by Vaughan MacCaughey, writ
ing in Science.
Hawaii is sub-tropical. The signif-
cant fact is that the "white" popula-
ton lives american style"
The hours of labor for business men,
professional men and laborers are just
as long as in northern regions. The
holidays and vacation periods are no
more numerous. The lunch period Is
one hour at noon, and there Is no
SieSta.
A white laboring class does not ex-
ist in Hawaii. This is due, however.
not to climatic conditions, but to the
economic competition of cheap ori-
entail labor.
1t must be acknowledged that the
change from a northern to sub-trop-
ical climate does not always agree with
the white women. Some suffer from
poor health and more or less profound
functional arrangement. However, the
problem is an open one as to whether
this is directly due to climatic NAL
adaptation.

FRENCHMAN'S WORK OF ART
Beauvais Cathedral Clock Remark
able Example Of Ingenuity In
Its Construction.

The clock Of Beauvais (France) Gu
thedral Is said to be composed of 5000
separate pieces. One sees on the 81
dial plates the hour. the day, the week
and the month; the rising and setting
Of the sun, phases Of the moon, the
tides, the time In the principal cap
itals Of the world, together with q
series Of terrestrial and astronomical
evolutions. The framework is carved
oak, eight meters by five meters, or
26 feet by 16H feet. When the clock
strikes all the edfflce seems in move
ment. The designer wished to depict
the Last Judgment. This wOhderful
work recalls the clock of Strassburg.
and Is Of modern construction. It Is
the work of N. Verite, who was In the
engineering department Of the Nord
railway, and who died In 1887. The
cock crows, angels sound trumpet at
the four cardinal points, imitation OF
flames appears from the openings OF
little steeples right and left. A soul.
that Of the impenitent thief, appears
before the supreme Judge. It is con-
demned, "a I enfer." and a demon
armed with a pitchfork Iseizes it and
casts 1t into the abyss. Next comes the
soul Of the just. The angels advance
and conduct it to the realms Of day,
sacred strains being heard.

Declares Reading Is Like
a Narc0tic-CIouds Mind

The habit of reading for amusement
becomes with thousands of people ex-
actly the same kind of habit as wine
drinking or opium smoking; it. is like,
a narcotic, something that helps to-
pass the time, something that keeps up
a perpetual condition Of dreaming,|
something that eventually results in|
destroying all capacity for thought J
giving exercise only to the surface|
parts of the mind and leaving the|
deeper springs of feeling and the high
er faculties Of perception unemployed
The result of all this reading meansI
nothing but cloudiness in the mind.I
That is the direct result. The indirectI
result is that that mind has beenI
kept from developing itself. All del
velopment necessarily means some
pain, and such reading as I speak of
has been employed unconsciously as a
means to avoid that pain, and the con-
sequence is trophy.-Lafcado Hearn.

Spread Love Of Good Music.

opTSd0 IOvS Ou SVOO uOOsSs
The greatest factors that exist at
the present time in the spreading OF
music and the inducement Of love
for 1t, are the music-reproducing ma
chimes Of all kinds. What these have
done to promote general musical
knowledge cannot be overestimated.
Why, you meet people who, few
years ago, would not have known the
name Of one great musical compost
tion, who now are familiar not only
with the composers. but with their
foremost interpreters and the ways in
which these interpretations have been
conceived. These people know every
note Of works they hadn't even heard a
few years ago.
It is not enough for a composition
to be great to help the world, appar.
emily: 1t must be known to be great.
With a man It Is different matter.
Do your work well, and you will be
judged by it. There are always those
who can judge If ones work is good;
let them judge.-Exchange.

Of Sir Herman Weber. the eminent
European physician, who died at the
age Of ninety-five years. Certainly
there could be no better recommenda-

life Of Sir Herman.
Walking Is something that cannot
be overdone, and at the same time
much out Of fashion at the present
time. In this day Of automobiles the
man who walks is the exception. and

MARGINS TWO BIRTHSTONES
Persons Born in That Month May
Have Choice Of the eIoodstone
or the Aquamarine.

The month of March has two birth
stones. The one sanctioned by ancient
tradition Is the bloodstone. As an al
ternate the aquamarine is given in the
list OF b1rthstones adopted by the Ma
tional jewelers. association. The blood
stone Is a variety Of chalcedony, dull
green with blood-red spots. 1t is some
times called heliotrope. The principal
mines are in India, though 1t Is found
In Scotland. Brazil, Uruguay and Aus
tralia. 1t was supposed in old times
to have therapeutic virtues and was
used especially to cure hemorrhages
and inflammatory diseases. Because
Of this fancied curative value it was
widely worn cut In the form of heart
In Mexico in the days succeeding the
conquest by Spaniards and Indians.
The stone is still believed by the su-
perstitious to be an amulet bringing
good luck. An ancient Egyptian parch-
ment says: "If anyone have this stone
with him he will be given whatever he
asks for and whatever the wearer says
will be believed"
The aquamarine is transparent va
riety Of beryL Enthusiastically Of
blush green color. Its name, trans
lated, means "sea water" and it looks
like the green-blue water Of the ocean
frozen into flashing crystal. Large
aquamarines are especially beautiful
as brooches or necklace pendants.

Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1919-11-17

Late this afternoon the jury, which
for two weeks has listened to testi-
mony In the Ray McKaig $4,000 libel
suit against Former Governor Gooding
and the Statesman Printing company,
retired to the jury room to deliberate
on its verdict.
In their hands is placed the award
ing of a small fortune on one hand
and the honor, integrity and loyalty of
man on the other. Throughout the
long tedious trial, the jury has paid
close attention to all testimony. The
witnesses who testified were directly
in front of them giving them an OPP
portunity to study their demeanor
while on the stand The result of their
deliberations is being awaited with in
terest throughout the northwest.
Court convened this morning at
1890 o'clock. Judge Mccarthy read
the instructions to the jury. He. de-
fined libelous communication in the
Idaho as follows:
"A written communication of a
character conducive to bIacken the
reputation of the person referred to,
or excite ridicule or wrath against
him, or destroy public confidence in
him.
One of the paragraphs in the in
structions reads, Before the defend
ants could be entitled to verdict at
your hands you must find from the
evidence in favor of the defendants as
to their defense of the truth of the
statement of fact and fairness and
reasonableness of their comments and
characterizations. If the defendants
have not maintained both of these de-
lenses, your verdict must be for the
plaintiff. If you find for the defend
ants on both of such defenses your
verdict must be for them.
Another paragraph reads, ANY evil
dence as to what the plaintiff himself
said, or any evidence as to statements
made by parties whom you may find
to have been organizers in the Non
Partisan League, are proper for you to
consider in the plea of justification
The defendants would be justified in
believing and relying upon any state
ments made by the plaintiff to them
or in their presence which has bear
ing on any of the issues of this case
If you find for the plaintiff, the tota
of damages, which you may find, in
GLIDING both punitive and actual dam
ages, cannot exceed the amount prayed
for, or $4,000. II you find the plain

your verdict, so far as compensatory
damages is concerned, must be join

so far as punitive damages are con.
cerned IL you find that one defendan
was actuated by express malice, ant
the other was not. then you may as
