During the Ice age, or tike Glacial od, there was a marked lowering t temperature over the whole earth, end 6,000,000 or 7.000,000 aqua re miles of the glee's surface became!; tirely covered with Ice. Half thef, on thus covered lay In North, rica; more than half the remainder lay In Europe. But far away, even to the tropical forests of India the mountains of Asia, giaciatlon t$>ccurred where there had been no ice rerious to the Ice age. Ob mounains which now bear burdens of conoal snow and ice the snow line del%# cended 6,000 feet lower than It ti at present Human - Being* Succumbed. --. . ;|J Imagine great sheets of ice and vjlhard-packed snow creeping ever so -^lowly but surely over the temperate •tSlreas of Europe and America, and imparting to them an Arctic cold to npvhich many of those early human beings, who in their savagery were little ;l>etter than beasts, succumbed. These "• inlghty layers of ice, miles and miles ;<ln thickness, spread over rivers and ountains and plains, filling up the valeys and the lakes and the seas. In rope the ice moved forth from the mdinavlan highlands and burled lowlands of Belgium, Bussla, Den- % mark, Germany and Holland; and then, crossing the'North see, touched the shores of Britain. Baaldes these great continental Ice sheets, large individual glaciers formed In the valleys of the Alps and spread out In all directions. Separate glaciers joined on the plains of France and Italy, and In the Rhine and Danube valleys. Four times the enormous sheets of ice advanced and covered the land. Four times they retreated after uncounted centuries, each time leaving a terminal moraine of boulders, earth and other t"ebris which serves as an indication of the. route of the ice on its advance southward. The second of these four glacial advances brought the Ice farther south. In North America the terminal moraine of the Ice can still be observed, and followed, to «, roughly correct line, over Long r* i*LA Island through the town of Jausslei, a* far south as Perth Amboy, N. J. Hie line then runs In a northwesterly direction through a point where the town of Morristown is how located.

The passage of Ice over tbe hard, rocky floor of the earth leaves a peculiar kind of marking. This erosion, due to the work of glaciers and Ice sheets. Is of a smooth, rounded nature imparted to the rocks which contrasts decidedly with the pinnacled. Irregular surfaces which are the work of ordinary weathering. The whole of the enormous Island of Greenland Is covered with an lee cap or Ice sheet which, pressing down under the weight of accumulated snow of centuries.

Washington.--Every doughboy nay be practically a machine gunner In future wars due to progress made by ordnance experts in developing a semiautomatic shoulder rifle to replace the regular service magazine puns. Recent demonstration firing with the latest postwar model, the Garnnd semiautomatic, at the Aberdeen (Md.) proving grounds, has convinced many officers they are on tbe road to the long-sought solution of the proper weapon for the infantry. The Garand, named after Its Inventor, John G. Garand. long employed at the Springfield arsenal. Is one of numerous semiautomatics with which army experts have been working.

M ermy standard Springfield magazine action rifle, with which an American force* are •Quipped, said ro be the most effective military Tlfle In the world. The however' with operation |>olt action necessary to reload each shot, has a maximum rate of ore of about twenty-five shots a rate, while the. Garand developed a of g,3tt.v shots a minute durine the firing at Aberdeen. Like 1903 Springfield. I® many respects the new gun Is an exact counterpart of the 1903 Springfield and it is lighter than the modified Knfleld produced In quantity during the war. The automatic device appro* only fo the breech action for the purpose of ejecting shells and reloading. It Is necessary to poll the trigger each time to fire. In the tests at Aberdeen a War de> partment memorandum says: "This gun was fired with great *•*> cess and It at cnce became a matter of great Interest to those who are watching tt because of its possibilities for rapid, accurate and sustained fir- Ing from the shoulder, though being at the same time a light, portable gun which can be carried without fatigue to the Individual soldier." At another p<Hnt the memorandum said the performance of the Garand under severe tests as to endurance promised "to fulfill the many requirements that will be iriiposed upon It." Still to Be Developed. "Results thus far," concludes the memorandum. "Justify the belief that such a weapon (a semiautomatic •shoulder rifle) can be suitably developed and manufactured to replace the well-known magazine-fed hand-operated shoulder rifle." Semlaufomatic guns have been used for sporting purposes for years, but no mechanism suitable for military purposes has been produced. The Garund Is still In Its development stages; but- there is no doabt that military experts expect It ultimately to replace the Springfield. What changes In tactics will result have not yet been worked out. With the Infantry equipped to deliver nearly three times Its present maximum volume of fire, however, and with infantry companies relieved of the Job of packing present-day automatic rifles to the front and being greatly slowed down In movement thereby. It Is obvious there will be radical changes In battle tactics wheo the new gun Is issued.

Is proving a monumental success In luring wildcats and fnountain lions In the wilda of Colorado to their deaths In the traps of hunters of the United States biological 'survey, bureau of predatory animal - control. ~ Stanley P. Young, chief of the bnyeau in Denver, In announcing the success of the experiment, reported the trapping of 40 bobcats and two jfnountain Hons through the use of oil of catnip, diluted with oil of petrolatum, which Is- liquid vaseline. "Few.members of the cat family in the Colorado wilds who have caught the scent of our catnip traps have passed us by," Young said. "We have Mot been able, however, to attract the kin of the dog, such as the wolf and coyote^ tor have we been successful In luring predatory bears. "We started the experiments last November with the state board of stock Inspection. We anticipate using oil of catnip In oar work on a more extensive scale* The 40 bobcats caught by the bureau were trapped on the South Park range and the sheep drive north of Frulta, Colo., while one of the lions was captured In the trap of Biyan Morrison, government hunter, nenr Dolores, Colo., and the other met Its fate when the steel jaws of a trap closed over Its paws near 8allda, Colo. Catnip foj the experiment waa obtained from the government experimental farm, conducted under the bureau of plant Industry at Washington. A ton of the plant was grown and about thirty ounces of the oil extracted. Two ounces were allotted the Denver bureau. Dog Battle* Rattler and Saves Boy's (.if* Holton.
