Mandan Oil Company
Office Burglarized

Burglars late Friday night or
early Saturday morning looted the
main offices of the Shepherd Oil
company, east Main street, Man
dan, of a cabinet radio and an ex-
pensive fountain pen and pencil set.
The maurauders broke into the
establishment without attracting at
tention and Morton county and
Mandan police officials were left
without clues, though they believe
the theft to be the work of local
persons since transients would have
little use for the articles stolen.

The March of the Centuries

The fall Of a great mass of rock at
Niagara is a reminder that this cata-
ract, the age of which is calculated at
from thirty to fifty thousand years, is
in a constant state of recession toward
Lake Erie. This dislodgement Of rock,
estimated at million cubic feet, Is the
greatest within the memory of living
men. 1t is probably indeed the greatest
in several centuries. Yet erosion at the
brink Of the fall is incessant and in the
course Of the past three quarters Of a
century doubtless greater mass has in
the aggregate fallen from the edge to
the chasm below. This erosion has been
more noticeable and rapid on the
Canadian side at the Horseshoe Fall
than on the American side, where this
latest break occurred. The rate of re-
cession on the American side has been
estimated at less than an inch a year,
while on the Canadian or Horseshoe
side 1t has been from two TO four inches
annually.
The latest fall Of rock has cut a u
shaped segment about one hundred
and nifty feet wide and two hun
dred feet deep. somewhat to the
west of the leenter. The dislodsed

in so far as the Fascist show was
staged. The air minister was in COM
mand; the planes were huge military
planes not unlike our great bombers;
the ships have been sold to the Brazil
ian government. And Italy has been
doing not little saber rafting along
its frontiers"

"but the thrilling effect upon the world

have expected to keep the news perma-

now that they have put the flight under

Of the Falls similar to that which IL In
| evidence below Luna Island, the little
bit Of land remaining on the crest Just
east OF Goat Island. This break suggests
the possibility that further riffs may
occur which may cause q very material
change in the aspect of the American
Falls, perhaps removing Luna Island
itself. Between the main land and Goat
Island are several small fragments Of
the original surface, one Of which is
used as an abutment for the bridge
giving access to Goat Island. II the
paratively rapid change 1t may assume
a horseshoe form similar to that on the
Canadian side.
The last preceding great fall of rock
at Niagara was that of eighty years
ago, when the famous table rock" fell
into the gorge. That, however, was not
part of the parapet itself, but was
conspicuous ledge overhanging the
chasm, forming a remarkable vantage
point from which the falls were viewed.
Its collapse was due, 1t is believed, not
to erosion at the base, but to the con-
slant vibration occasioned by the ire
mendous pounding Of the cataract.
Biologists are not altogether agreed
as to the precise history of Niagara nor
as to the exact course followed in the
cutting of the channel which has for
countless centuries carried the great
current of the waters of four great
lakes, reservoir Of more than one-half
of the fresh water in the world. It Is,
however, generally accepted that when
the flow began toward the Atlantic the
continent was several thousand feet
higher above the ocean level than it is
today and these waters found their vent
to the eastward with more furious
rush than now. breaking through from
Lake Erie to Lake Ontario somewhat
along the line of then existing streams,
but marking out new channels, break
ing down barriers, eroding beds through
varying strata until the chasm that we
now know as Niagara was formed with
the brink Of the fall far to the North
near Lake Ontario. Steadily it has
gone back toward Lake Erie, mile after
mile, in the course of the centuries,
and now, Is this latest fall Of rock at
tests, 1t Is continuing In this course,
and some day-unless man meanwhile
completely impounds the waters for his
own uses-it will reach the lake, prob
ably stabilizing in a series Of grand
cascades.

New Note i'm Science.

From the Rochester T1mes-Union.
The general impression gathered by
those who have followed the recent
annual deliberations of the scientists Is
one of happy expectation. The gentle
men whose position in the modern
world is not unlike that of the prophets
of old have surely sounded 3 positive
note. So much has been written and
spoken in recent years concerning the
inevitable warfare between organized
knowledge and religious faith that it Is
pleasant to record the change of mind
and heart which has come over scien-
fists. These gentlemen are no longer
the certain doctrinaireS they, or their
forerunners were a decade or so ago.
The physical world can no longer be
relied upon to furnish all that man
needs to know about his origin and
destiny. There are vast number OF
things that must be known, If known
at all, by other means than scales and
measures.
1t is science itself, through its out
standing leaders, which admits a
spiritual order in the universe. The
leaders have passed beyond the ma
terialism of an older day. Led by men
like Eddington and Jeans in England,
Millikan in this country and Einstein
on the Continent, there is being
sounded new spiritual note in the
field of inquiry, which for time seemed
to be bent on shaking the foundations
of faith. This is well A purely ma
terialistic science cannot help the world.
