BIG GLACIAL RIVERS

TORRENTS FROM fIIELTING -‘-'.ICE DRAINED THROUGH GREAT LAKES TO THE STREAMS. 1” : e ” OLD BOUNDARIES ARE TRACED Expert Wright Tells Where the Work of the Prehistoric Period Originated and Ended—Bodies | 2 of Water Enlarged. BY G. FREDERICK WRIGHT, A. M. LE D (Author of ““The Ice Age in North America,” “Man and the Glacial Peried,” Etec.) * (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles) Ice is a rock. At any rate, so long as it lasts it performs all the functions of rock. As one steams up the Yukon river he will often see ahead of him a forest growing upon a high bank with precipitous face which at first sight would seem to be the enduring rock of the region. But upon near approach it will turn out to be an ice cliff covered with a few feet of soil which has been washed out upon it in sufficient quantity to support vegetation. Large forests are growing upon the Malaspina glacier in Alaska, several miles back from its front, and where the ice is 1,000 feet thick under it. In numerous places in the vicinity of existing glaciers large streams of water may be found running both upon the surface of the ice and along a high elevation between the ice and the adjoining highland or mountain chain which hems it in. Large lakes of water are also found at high elevations where they are held in by ice barriers.- Where these barriers suddenly burst through, as they sometimes do, tremendous floods of water devastate the valley below. The Mattmark See, in Switzerland, and other bodies of water: held up behind alpine glaciers have been a menace. But great as are the direct effects upon the drainage, of ice of existing glaciers, those brought to light by study of the glacial period in North America surpass them all in wonderful measure. Naturally the accumulation of ice during the glacial period began at the north, and early clogged up the great lines of drainage which lead in that direction, while, after the

ice had reached its farthest limit and began to melt back, the northerly direction -of the drainage could not be resumed until the ice had all melted} away. Thus for long periods the drain- | age of the great lakes, “which ‘new passes down the St. Lawrence river,‘ was turned over to swell the volume] :of the Susquehanna and the Ohioi rivers, while alljthe drainage that now enters Hudson,_fb,ay was turned over{ into the valley of the Missouri and the Mississippi. This, anyone can see from a slight study of the map, must! have been the case. It has been a most inferesting work to geologists to find these actual outlets of glacial drainage, and to trace the effects of this great addition of volume to the south-flowing streams of the north. In general the effects of this great increase of the volume of the water poured into the valleys of the conmnecticut, Hudson, Susquehanna, Allegheny, Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri rivers are evident in the extensive gravel terraces which line the banks of all these streams and of their northern tributaries. s The terraces of the Connecticut river have long been famous, consisting of deposits of gravel and sand rising upon either bank of the river from 50 to 100 feet or more above present high water mark. . In the Hudson valley they exist as brick clays, extensively worked in various places - above New York city, but spreading out into extensive gravel deposits where the Hudson river comes out from the Adirondack = mountains. The sandy plains of Saratoga were spread out during that stage of the glacial period, while immense streams of water were turned over into the Hudson valley through Lake Champlain and Lake Geotrge. The Champlain canal has appropriated a portion of this glacial channel, and passes from the lake to the Hudson river with a lockage of jess than 50 feet. '

Before the ice had melted from the Mohawk valley there was an enormous amount of glacial drainage carried off threugh the Finger lakes and over the shigher passes leading into the Susquehanna valley. The stream passing through Seneca lake over the site of Watkins and entering the susquebanna at %:heus was specially noteworthy: W the marks of the ~ Before the ice had melted from cen-

tral New York the drainage of the great lakes was held up to the level of the passes from Lake Erie and Lake Michigan leading over into the valley of the Mississippi. At first, before the ice had melted off from northern Michigan, where the lakes are united, there were several independent outlets. These can be easily traced from Lake Chautauqua down Conewango creek into the valley of the Allegheny, and down-French creek to a similar destination, and from Grand river in Ohio into the Mahoning at Warrn, reaching the Ohio, through Beaver creek, 25 miles ‘below Pittsburg. The Ohio river all the way down is lined with gravel terraces, frequently rising more than 100 feet above the river, which furnish building sites for the most of the cities along its course. Fourth street in Cincinndti is on one of these terraces, 120 feet above the river. As the ice was slowly retreating over the area_occupied by Lake Erle back to the Niagara escarpment, the main outlet for the = ever-increasing glacial lake was throngh an opening at Fort Wayne, Ind., leading into the Wabash river and thence into the Ohio. This outlet is 200 feet above the present level of the lake. Consequently the water submerged all the land on the south and west sides of the lake below that level. The shore line of this great bedy of water, to which the name Lake Warren has been given, can be easily traced for hundreds of miles, and, like that south of Lake Ontario, was early chosen for a highway and for building sites. Approaching each other from Ohio and Michigan, two gravel ridges come nearly together at Fort Wayne, leaying there an opening from the Maumee into the Wabash river about a mile wide, revealing an abandoned river channel, which is still almost as distinct as when the imighty current of Niagara, made its exit to the sea.

A similar abandoned channel exists southwest of Chicago, leading from Lake Michigan into the Illinois river. This too is about a mile in width, with level bottom and sharply outlined sides, through which the glacial drainage poured in even greater torrents than at Fort Wayne. For a while, however, it was merely the outlet of a limited lake at the south end of Lake Michigan. But as the ice retreated

from the lower penisula of Michigan it uncovered a channel from Saginaw bay into Lake Michigan 100 feet lower than that at Fort Wavne. Whereupon the water was diverted from that channel and all carried away by the Saginaw bay. Lake Michigan and Chicago river outlet. The shore line of the glacial lake formed at this stage of glacial recession can be traced as distinctly as a railroad embankment the entire distance from the vicinity of Buffalo around the south and west shores of Lake Erie to the head waters of Saginaw bay, where it opens by a perfectly distinct channel into Grand river. Euclid avenue, in the city of Cleveland, is 'built upon this shore Jine. The great drainage canal from Chicago into the Illinois has availed itself of this old outlet, the bottom of which was only about 16 feet higher than the level of Lake Michigan, : Earlier glacial outlets farther west are clearly traceable from Green Bay into the Fox river and from the western end of Lake Superior at Duluth through the Chippewa river into the Mississippi, a little way below St. Paul. The remarkable level gravel terraces high above the lake at Duluth, so ‘convenient for streets and drives, are the shore lines of this temporary lake at the west end of Lake Superior.

Pity and Friendship. Pity and friendship are passions incompatible with each other, and it is impossible that both can reside in any breast for the smallest space without impairing each other. Friendship is made up of esteem and pleasure; pity is composed of sorrow and contempt; the mind may for some time fiuctuate between them, but it can never entertain both together.——Goldsmith. £ X America Their Market.

The New Reporter By Joht:f—larw:—ed Bacon ‘

“Who is ‘the child? ” . i As Wilson had beén “doing police” for nearly five months, he felt privfleged to treat a new reporter’s advent with a measure of patronage. “My, what a pretty boy!” gushed Miss Eldredge, at the next desk. Miss Eldredge had been on the Times for over 11 years, but was still ag coy as on the day of her first assignment. e ol “Hope he’ll get-my run, and I'll be given hotels,” muttered Wilson. “I'm getting tired of all-night work.” S The newcomer’s arrival was a matter of no general interest. @As the reporters loitered in, one by one, each went straight to his desk and became absorbed in that section of the morning’s news which he himself had written the night before, giving no heed to the boy standing uneasily beside the city editor. ; The Times staff was constantly changing. New men were taken on, old men dropped. Oftentimes a youngster would ‘fall down” on an important assignment, and another would be recruited in his place. It was nearly half-past one, the hour for afternoon assignments. “Wilson!” :

Sharply, almost surlily, came the summons from the city editor’s desk. “Ten to one, I go up,” whispered ‘Wilson, jubilantly. Being on duty long after the other reporters had finished work, he was not due at the office until three o’clock. His summons at that hour could therefore have but one meaning; the new man was to be given ‘“‘police.” ; TRae “This is Mr. Tomlins, Wilson,” was the editor’s curt introduction. “He’s to have your rum, and you're to be dried on ‘marine.’ Take him Jaround ‘this afternoon and introduce him, and : Butler will put you on to the ropes of yvour new run to-morrow. No ixspe'cial assignments to-day; only, look out for a follow-up story on that State street robbery.” Follow-up stories were Mr. :Edwards’ hobby. o . “Come along, Tomlins,” said Wilson, somewhat ungraciously. He was disappointed at getting nothing better than “marine,” which permitted short!hours, but demanded more “trotting around.”

Getting acquainted with the other men on the staff was rather slow work, the average term of police reporters being scarcely long enough to warrant immediate friendships. But gradual1y the name-of Tomlins—Tommny Tomlins, it was—became familiar, - and its curly-headed owner was accepted on a basis of newspaper camaraderie. For. the first few nights, the new reporter accompanied Wilson to Biersach’s, the “place” where, after midnight, ' every member of the ' staff, from the managing editor to the copyboys, lingered over a chop or a sandwich and a mug of beer, and enjoyed the first real respite of the long day. But, after two or three visits to Biersach’s, Tomlins stopped going to supper with the-others. ‘ Where do you feed now?” demanded Wilson, after Tomlins, on three sucecessive nights, had deelined his invitation to ‘go over |to the Dutchman’s.” v “I'live only a short way wup the street,” explained the little, man, straightforwardly, “so I go home for lunch.” 3 It was nearly a month later when the city editor, while locking up his desk one night, exclaimed in an amused undertone to Blake: i ‘Took al: that!™ : -~ “What?” asked the assistant, impaling two short items on a spindle, and clearing away with a single sweep the debris' of several hours’ copyreading. : | - Tomlins,”" : L Blake turned, and saw the police reporter effusively greeting a rather pretty girl, a year or two his' junior, who was standing smilingly on the threshold. - “Who is she?” , . “From the telephone office, probably. He has his nerve with him, bringing ’em up here!” . “Learning -city ways fast. Not such a child, after all!” | ' The city editor smiled grimly, His work for the day was finished, and he felt in fairly good humor. - S

As he and Blake passed out, TomJlins kept on talking with his midnight visitor, apparently undisturbed by the fact that several curious glances were sent in his direction. = “Wait till I call up the station to 1 see If anything is doing,” he said, as his superior disappeared, “and we'll go and get something to eat.” - . The following night, however, the city editor’s mood was far less amiable. A fire and a railroad accident were providing extra work for everybody, and, as luck would have it, Mr. Edwards glanced up from a stack of unread copy just as Tomlins—who should have been devoting sole attention to a section of the fire story—nodded and smiled in the direction of the door. It was only one nod and one smile, and the young woman remained quietly near the file table, while Tomlins reburied himself in' the details of the conflagration, But the city editor’'s wrath was aroused; he scowled and bided his time, . “See here, Tomlins,” he said, sharply, as the police reporter turned in what he had written, “we can’t have you bringing girls up here in the office. You're hired to work, not,” he added, brutally, “to chase women.” ~ Tomlin's cheeks- turned scarlet, and a lump crept into his throat. Then he. blurted out: “That’s my wife.” . { “ERY o OB I was . the city editor’s turn to flush. S . Tomlins went to Mrs. Tomlins, while the city editor gasped under his breath: ‘“Wouldn’t that craze you?" When little Mrs. Tomlins appeared the following night, no word of protest

(Capyright.)

Nor was official criticism provoked when it became apparent that her calls would be regular occurrences. Every evening ‘at the luncheon hour she entered quietly, sent a timid glance in the direction Jf Tomlins’ desk, gravely answered his smile, and retired to the file table. She never intruded. If Tomlins was busy, she glanced over the files until he was free to join her. Before long, the other men would nod pleasantly, or stop for a word or two of greeting as they passed out. She was a sweet-faced, soft-voiced little girl, no more resembling a fullfledged wife than Tomlins did a completed husband. Even the city editor, as he noted how carefully she held herself aloof, assumed toward her a manner surprisingly cordial, going so far one evening as to send the copy-boy across the room with a chair. Thereafter, that chair remained near the door for the exclusive use of Mrs. Tomlins. | “I should think she'd get tired, sitting up till midnight,”” Mr. Edwards remarked to the night editor one evening, after reporting that everything in his department was ‘‘cleaned up.i’ 3 “Midnight! Till the paper goes to press!” “What!” . “Sure. She stays as long as he does.” - - “Well, wouldn't that craze you?” The night editor agreed that it

Nice girl, too. He says sMaginsisted upon this arrangement. They hayen’t any friends in town, and she was lonesome.” “As long as he attends to business, I don’'t suppose it matters if he brings up all his relatives,” conceded the city editor. i For the better part of a year, Mrs. Tomlins’ coming was as regular as clockwork. New men came and went, but Tomlins held his position. His wife's presence interfered not with the garnering of police news, and therefore troubled no one. But, without warning, her visits suddenly ceased. A week’s failure to appear occasioned comment. ‘ - “Where's your wife?” asked Wilson, bluntly one evening, as Tomlins started out alone. | ; “She’s not very well,” was the answer, given with some hesitation. “Im fact, she—she won’t be around again for some time.” Wilson -understood. “Oh!” he said. The other members of the staff were duly informed, and the news occasioned general interest. Not a man in the shop but liked little Tomlins; not one but had félt in some small measure the influence of a tender little smile which had been timidly directed toward the police reporter’s desk each evening on the stroke of 12.

“Wilson!” : The city editor’s voice, harsh and raspimg, summoned the marine . reporter to the copy desk. “You’re to cover police to-day—-probably for several days. Tomlins won’t be down—" “All right,” in an awed tone. “Is—” “_and the men are putting in a cuarter apiece for some flowers. Do you want to contribute” “Yes, sir. But—but is she dead?” “Dead? Who said anything about dead? I can’t waste my time explaining things! They’re for Tomlins’ baby, and if you don’t want to contribute, you needn’t. And—and see that you get a good follow-up story on that gashouse explosion! . . . Al this blamed nonsense over a baby! . . . And—and, Wilson, come back here; what are you running away for before I'm through? If you have time, you might stop in on your way back from the gashouse to see how Mrs. Tomlins is getting along.” ;

VANDERBILT'S LONDON FLAT, Is on Sixth Floor and Costs Him Some $13,000 Per Annum. London. — Alfred G. Vanderbilt, whom the English press delight in calling ‘“‘the richest young man in the world,” has taken one of the most “swagger” flats in London. For the privilege of living on the sixth floor overlooking Piccadilly, the famous London thoroughfare, the American millionaire is paying $lO,OOO a year. As the rent does not include rates and taxes there is an extra item of expense of about $3,000 per annum. To the British public $250 a week locks

like a tall price to pay just to keep a flat roof over one’s head, but to the Bcion of the Vanderbilts, with his experience of $25,000 suites at the Astoria and one of $60,000 at the new Plaza, it is a mere bagatelle. ;

" So far as-London is concerned the flats in which young Vanderbilt now is settled are the last word in their line. Nothing like them even has been attempted in that part of the world, and the American, with his. trans-At. lantic ideas of unlimited expenditure. is the only person who as yet has had the nerve to rent one. They are built on thé'site of the mansion of the late duke of Cambridge and stand midway between the high class club district and Mayfair, the home of England's “four hundred.” Next to them and stretching up Piccadilly to Apsley house, the town residence of the duke of Wellington, which -abuts Hyde park, are the several residences ocgupied by the famous Rothschild family, the kings of finance. $

The building in which Vanderbilt has taken up his quarters has a frontage on Piccadilly of almost 70 feet and on Park lane of about 200 feet. It is of gray granite, rather fantastically and ostentationsly ornamented with glazed green brick. There are six flats (over there they have not yet learned the nice distinction between flat and apartment), each one of which contains ten large bedrooms, three bathrooms, a number of smoking, billiard and drawing rooms, cloakrooms, kitchen, halls, boudoirs and a great ballroom. A man without any family with him ought to worry along on that. MAY SEEK HOPKINS’' TOGA. Friends of Congressman Foss Would .

OODLONDON CHURCH

HOUSE OF WORSHIP WHERE SERVICES ARE NEVER KNOWN.

Place to “Rest Awhile and Commune . with One’s Own Soul”—Fourteen Years Required to Decog rate Its Interior. a

London.—ln the very heart of thig city, not for distant from the Marble Arch, there stands one of the strangest temples of worship in the world. It is called the Chapel of the Ascension, and it contains no pulpit, no altar, no font, no band of choristers. No services are held in it, and no priest or minister croses its threshold except ag a visitor. The chapel is a place not of Christian routine and service, but simply where a man or woman may ‘res# awhile and commune with his own soul amid pictured walls,” as the notice which hangs over the door says’ The chapel is the idea of Mrs. Russell Gurney, who, during her lifetime; was a member of one of the best-known families in London. She received her inspiration from a small’ chapel in Florence and conceived the idea of building a place of communion in the heart 6f Landon, set apart for rest and filled with consecrated art. ' But while the purposes of the chapel itself are unique, more remarkable still gre the religious paintings that cover its walls from floor to ceiling. For 14 vears Frederi¢c Shields, the famous English painter, and friend and contemporary of Ruskin, Dante, Rossetti and Ford Madox -Brown, has devoted his whole time and thought to their execution. Although the task is not yet complete, there are but few vacant spaces on the walls of the lit tle building. Very nearly 200 paint ings, illustrating the scriptures, have emanated from the fertile brain .and gifted brush of this artist. { The chapel was finished in 1894 after considerable difficulty had been experienced by Mrs. Gurney in finding a site that suited her. In that year Mr

Shields began work on his pain'tings. The little building has been open for a few weeks now to the general public. As one enters and looks around ong may see the whole story of the Bible told by the pictures on the four walls. ‘The scheme begins over the gallery arch with the ereation of ‘man, followed by the union of man and woman, On the south wall is pictured “The Goodly Fellowship of the Prophets,” beginning with Enoch, caught up and delivered from a vio lent 'world flowing with rivers of blood, ending with Malachi, who looks back on his predecessors, and points across the space of the chapel to the north wall to John the Baptist and his successors, “the Glorious Company of the Apostles.” Some are preaching, others praying, prophesying, confessing sins, beholding the beatific visions, or standing triumphant as martyrs. Below the Prophets and the Apostles are small subject pictures; above, in intimate. relation with these figures, are angels performing missions of mercy and judgment; while alternating the figures are large paintings, giving spiritual renderings of the familiar stories of the Gospels, and of the incidents of the Acts of the Apostles. But it is to the east wall where eyes are first directed and are held by the pictures which give the keynote to the whole of the designs—the coneeptions of the Crucifixion and of the Ascension. Subject paintings surround them, and many figures, such as those of Faith, Hope, Love and of Patience —the final virtue. : - Mr. Shields began his career as an apprentice. to a firm of lithographers and went through a long period of the direst poverty. Finally one day while “down and out” he wandered into an exhibition of paintings in Manchester and decided to become an artist. He immediately went home and made a water color sketch which not only sold for $45, but brought another commission to the needy youth. A few years of this work brought him an order to illustrate ‘“The Pilgrim’'s Progress.” He took the contract at so low a figure that he soon found that he was redu*o a bread and water diet. A little later he executed some designs for an edition of “Vanity Fair” which greatly pleased Ruskin. sl ~

From this time on the path of the young artist toward success and fame was a smooth one. He came to London in 1874, when his reproduections of his drawings of town and rustic children were selling like hot cakes. _ln 1889, when Mps. Russell Gurney was looking for an artist capable of carrying out her ideas for the decoration of the chapel which she was to build, it was to. Mr. Shields that she turned. Five years later, when the little house of rest and communion was completed, he set to work on his 14-year task. -

- LUNCHEON OR SUPPER DISH, dellied Vegetables a Pleasing Accom- : paniment to Meat. et Jellied vegetables are particularly sultable for a Iluncheon or supper dish to be served as an accompaalment to almost any kind of cold sliced meat. Remove the jelly to a serviag dish and surround with the slices of meat overlapping one another; then garnish with celery tips. Cold meat needs to be very thinly sliced to be at its best, therefore do see to it that the closet can boast of sharp knives, for without them the work cannot be perfectly done.- Soak one tablespoonful of granulated gelatine in one-fourth of a cupgu_l of cold water and dissolve In one cupful of beiling water; then add one-fourth of a cupful each of sugar and vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and one teaspoonful of salt. Strain, cool and when beginning to stiffen add one cupful of celery cut in small pieces, one-half cupful of finely-shredded cabbage and one and one-half canned pimentoes, cut in small pieces. Turn into a mold and chill thoroughly—Woman’s = Home Companion. '

FOR USE IN GARNISHING. Plants for Which Room Should Be - Found in the Garden. . Celery tops and parsley are not the only pleasing garnishing plants, al though others are not common. Watercress may be grown in the garden without running water, and pepper grass, chervil and burnet are-graceful and attractive. One row in the 'garden may profitably be made up of garnishing and flavoring - plants. Caraway and coriander seeds are used in cakes and cookies; dill with salt as a pickle flavoring. -All are easy to grow from seeds sown in spring, the crop being harvested the same or the following: year. N The plants should be thinned to six to ten inches apart in the row. Mustard savory and sweet marjoram are grown from seed. The ‘latter needs shading while plants are small. - Thyme, sage, spearmint, tarragon and lavender are invaluable in 'the kitchen garden. They are perennials and, with the“exception of tarragon, all may be grown from seeds, but better by dividing old plants or by cuttings. j For drying, leaves should be cut before the blossoms form.

‘ Embroidering Initials on Linen. Every one who embroiders knows that it is absolutely impossible to embroider initials without placing the article to be embroidered on the embroidery rings. When -the initial. or monogram is in the corner of a napkin, tablecloth, or lunch cloth it is difficult to stretch the narrow margin over the rings and make it snug and tight enough. : Where two pieces are to be embroidered brjng the pieces end to'end and whip them over and over, and then place them in the embroidery rings. The article can be held in a firm position and the work can be done more easily and quickly. When four corners, such as four napkins, are to be embroidered bring the four corners to a point and stitch the sides firmly.- There will then be no difficulty in keeping the material on the rings. : >

- A Simple Salad.
