aEossILn cATRAcTs

Fossil" cataracts, so-called, have lately been identified in the northeast part of the Adirondack mountains They dried up many thousands of years ago, when the great ice sheet of the glacial period withdrew from the north eastern part of the United States, and from eastern Canada to the Arctic re- gions. where it gathered its forces. These cataracts were in a stream that emptied glacial lake that since has vanished, which covered forked area | in the valley of the east branch of the Au Sable river.
 The front of the glacier damned the
 waters melting from the ice, and pre- vented their outlet north, but they were
 able to flow in a channel extending
 south for nine miles through depres- sions now not occupied by any import ant. streams. It is in these channels that the fossil" cataracts are found Some must have been impressive falls for they have existed long enough tc
 gouge out large plunge basins, now represented at their base by smal
 ponds The streams which now occupy
 these prehistoric channels are too smal ever to have produced this effect.-De

ROBBED IOWA DEMOCRATS.

Junction, Colorado.

The Iowa Democrats special train
which left Des Moines last week for
the democratic national convention
at San Francisco was robbed Thurs
day between Grand Junction, Colo.
and Green River. Utah. The train
had plenty of detectives and United
States marshals on, but evidently
they were too busy talking over the
wet and dry question to pay much
attention to sneak thieves. The Off
GERS believe that the sneak thief en-
tered car No. l early in the morning
and jumped off the train on the
passes, where slow moving train
would make this possible. Some Of
the losses reported are as follows:
Deputy Marshal Shoemaker, Coun-
Gil Bluffs, $3.50 watch, knife, chain
and pocketbook.
Farley Sheldon, Ames, $500, card
case, pocketbook, knife and other
property.
DR.. F. S. Feeney, New Hampton,
$50 watch, check book, identificat-
ion cards and small property.

small property. Sever is from Viii
