BIG GLACIAL RIVERS : TORRENTS FROM MELTING ICE DRAINED THROUGH GREAT LAKES TO THE STREAMS, OLD BOUNDARIES ARE TRACED Expert Wright Tells Where the Work of the Prehistoric Period Orig­ inated and Ended--Bodies of Water Enlarged. "* BY O. FREDERICK WRIGHT, A. M„ LL. D. (Author of "The Ice Age In North Amer­ ica," "Man and the Glacial Pe­ riod," Etc.) (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Ice is a rock. At any rate, so long •» it lasts It perforins all the functions of rock. As one steams up the Yukon ifrer 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 ap­ proach 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 vegeta­ tion. Large forests are growing upon the Malaspina glacier in Alaska, sev­ eral miles hack from its front, and where the Ice is 1J)0G 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 eleva­ tions where they are held In by ice barriers. Where these banters sud­ denly buret through, as they some­ times do, tremendous floods of water devastate the valley below. The Matt- mark 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 wonder­ ful measure. Naturally th^ kccumula- tlon 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 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 Mich­ igan, 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 desti­ nation, and from Grand river in Ohio into the Mahoning at Warrnr reaching the Oliio, 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 citiea along its course. Fourth street in Cin­ cinnati is on one of these terraces. 120 feet above the river. As the ice was slowly retreating over the area occupied by Lake Erie back to the Niagara escarpment, the main outlet for the ever-increasing glacial lake was through an opening at Fort Wayne, Ind., leading into the Wabash river and thenca into the Ohio. This outlet is 200 feet above the present level of the lake. Conse­ quently the water submerged all the land on the south and west sides of the lake below that level. The shore line of this great body 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. Ap­ proaching each other from Ohio and Michigan, two gravel ridges come nearly together at Fort Wayne, leav­ ing there an opening from the Mau- mee into the Wabash river about a mile wide, revealing an abandoned river channel, which is still almost as distinct as when the mighty 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 drain age poured in even greater torrents than at Fort Wayne. For a while, however, it Was merely the outlet of limited lake at the south end of Lake Michigan. But as *th^ ice retreated IS *\ { £ P J * \ Mm svm\ * Miles CHIOS Outlets for Glacial Torrents--Dotted Lines Show Present Lake Boundaries. ice had reached its farthest limit and began to melt back, the northerly di­ rection 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 now passes down the St. Lawrence river, was turned over to swell the volume of the Susquehanna and the Ohio rivers, while all the drainage that now enters Hudson bay was turned over into the valley or 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 interesting work to geologists to find these actual outlets of glacial drainage, and to trace the effects of thiV. great addition of volume to the •outh-ilowing streams of the north. In general the effects of this great increase of the volume of the water poured Into the valleys of the Con­ necticut; Hudson, Susquehanna, Alle­ gheny, 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. The terraces of the Connecticut river have long been famous, consist­ ing of deposits of gravel and sand rift­ ing upon either bank of the river from 50 to 100 feet or more above present high water mark. In the Hudson val­ ley they exist as brick clays, extensive­ ly 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 Champlaln and Lake George. The Champlaln canal has ap­ propriated a portion of this glacial channel, and passes from the lake to the Hudson river with a lockage of less than 50 feet Before the ioe had melted from the Mohawk valley there was as enor­ mous amount of glacial drainage car­ ried off through the Finger lakes and over the higher passes leading into the Susquehanna valley. The stream passing through Seneca lake over the site of Watkins and entering the sus- quehanna at Horseheads was specially noteworthy; while the marks of the glacial floods in the Susquehanna val­ ley are clearly seen at Harrisburg and •Cher places farther down. from the lower penlsula of Michigan it uncovered a channel from Saginaw bay Into Lake Michigan 100 feet lower than that at Fort Wayne. Whereupon the water was diverted from that channel and all carried away by the Saginaw bay. Lake Michigan and Chi­ cago 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 vioinity of Buffalo around the south and west shores of Lake Erie to the head wa­ ters 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 line. The great drainage canal from Chicago into the Illinois has availed Itself of this old outlet, the bottom of which was only about 15 feet higher than the level of Lake Michigan. Earlier glacial outlets farther west are clearly (V&ceable from Green Bay Into the Fox river and from the west­ ern 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 Du­ luth, so convenient for streets and drives, are the shore lines of this tem­ porary lake at the west end of Lake Superior. Pity and Friendship. Pity and friendship are passions In­ compatible 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 fluctuate between them, but it can never enter­ tain. both together.--Goldsmith. tate Capital News ̂ftreeiy Gossip, Notes and Doings ' of Interest at Springfield. Springfield.--Col. John Edmonds was in Springfield recently "boosting" for the twentieth annual tournament of the Illinois Firemen's association, which will be held in his town, Lin­ coln, July 28-29-30. Col. Edmonds spent the day ih the capital city tell­ ing the people what a "live" town the Logan county city was and how roy­ ally the people there were going to do things when the firemen of the, state meet for the annual tournament. Twenty years ago the firemen of Illlinois met at Lincoln, organized the present state association, and held the first tourhament. The people are planning to make the annual gathering this year as memorable as was the first one a score of years ago. A three days' program of events dear to the hearts of firemen has been arranged and $3,500 in prizes will be offered to those who compete. A committee of leading business men and local fire­ men has been named to look after the details of the gathering and insure the visitors who attend the tourna meat the time of their lives. Miners to Elect Again. According to the decision of the state executive board of the Illinois Mine Workers in the C. & A. subdis- trict matter, which was made public, a new election will be held to name the successors to Subdlstrlpt Presi­ dent Gallagher and Secretary-Treas­ urer Shears. In its findings the state board soores the action of some of the subdistrict men who seemingly were actuated by a desire to put Gal­ lagher and Shears out of office for purely selfish reasons. The action of the subdistrict board in appointing successors to Gallagher and Shears was rescinded and if the decision of the state board is abided by the work­ ers will get a chance to name the men they want In these two offices. The referendum vote ousting Gallagher and Shears is sustained although the board takes the view that the two men had done nothing to cause them to be removed from office. Bad Money Has Wide Circulation. Twenty-five secret service men in Uncle Sam's employ are touring the country in an effort to locate money and put the "queer" silver out of ex­ istence. One of the 25, Peter Drautz- burg, was in Springfield endeavoring to gather the many pieces of spurious money that have been circulating in the capital city for some time past. Complaints of "bum" money have been numerous in local business cir­ cles for some time past. Hardly a day passes but some one reports receiving a bad coin in the dally receipts. Some of it has been finding its way to the banks, where it Is promptly detected and carefully laid away to await the .call of the secret service men. One of the local financial Institutions reports, receiving on an average of one coun­ terfeit dollar a day for the past two weeks. Nearly all the banks have found more or less, counterfeit money in the deposits of late. Board Asks for Antitoxin Bids. In compliance with the act of the last legislature appropriating $30,000 for the free distribution of diphtheria antitoxic, the state board of health, through its secretary, James A. Egan. advertised for sealed proposals for the supply. The specifications are very exacting and nothing but the best quality of the drug will be purchased by the state from the lowest bidder. Antitoxin is to be supplied to all per­ sons in the state who need it; hereto­ fore it has been supplied to the poor only. On the application of a physi­ cian in. attendance on the person re­ quiring it, the material will be fur­ nished in packages of 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 or 5,000 units with a special syringe. Arrangements also have been made with the University of Illi­ nois whereby a laboratory will be es­ tablished there for the purpose of making bacteriologic examinations. Wheel Tax Law Constitutional. The supreme court in the cases of Harder's Fireproof Storage and Van Company against the city of Chicago, and Harder and others against the city of Chicago handed down an opinion that the law passed by the legislature authorizing cities to pass ordinances providing for a special tax on wheeled vehicles, and the ordinance passed by the city of Chicago making a spe­ cial tax for wheeled vehicles, are con stitutlonal. The Cook county circuit court had held that the ordinance was constitutional as far as it referred to business vehicles, but that vehicles used for pleasure were,exempt from its provisions. Appellants had also held that it was class legislation; that the owners of the vehicles had paid the usual taxes on them, and ought not be compelled to pay a special tax. 8oil Fertility Must Be Held. Dr. C. G. Hopkins of the University of Illinois spoke to members of the chamber of commerce at a luncheon at the Leland on the importance of maintaing the fertility of Illinois soils and told how such could be done. Dr. Hopkins' address was on a subject akin to the corn exposition to be held in this city next fall and his expert testimony served to arouse interest in the coming show. The speaker called attention to the decrease in soil fertility in all counties as shown by history and stated while no occasion for alarm exists in Illinois at present, it is a subject deserving of the best thought of his audience. Owners of Sangamon county land must use their brains as they till the soil and not leave the preservation of fertility to ordinary tenants. America Their Market. Sollngen is the center of the cutlery Industry in. the German empire. There are firms in Sollngen who do not sell a pound of product in Germany. Every item produced is for American orders. For the most part the goods are for large department stores in the United States, and comprise scissors, knives, manicure sets and the like. The Frigate Bird. Wonderful powers of flight are pos­ sessed by tie frigate bird of the tiop- lcs. It has a spread of wing of ten feet to 12 feet, can travel 100 miles an hour and is said, to be able to remain Before the ice had melted from cea-1 on tbe wing for a week at a time. Airship Will Sail Over City. Sailing in an airship of his own con­ struction from the state fair grounds to the state capitol, around the dome of the building and back again, is a feat which will be attempted during the coming Illinois state fair by G. L. Bumbaugh of St. Louis. The distance to be covered is over two miles. The state board of agriculture has just completed a contract with Mr. Bum baugh, who will commence at once the work on the airship. Bumbaugh is remembered as the builder of the monster balloon "Chicago," owned by C. A. Coey, wh6, with Bumbaugh and a newspaper representative, recently sailed in the air-traveler from Quincy to Clear Lake, S. D. Board Hears Evidence. The state executive board of the Illinois Mine Workers was in session to hear evidence in the matter of the ousting of W. F. Shears and James Gallagher, officers of the C. & A. sub- district. Shears was secretary-treas- urer and Gallagher president of the sub-district. Because of an action ta­ ken during the shut-down the two men were asked to resign and later a refer­ endum vote of the miners was taken, forcing vich action. The matter was appealed to the executive board for a decision. After hearing the evidence the board took the matter under ad­ visement. Vice-President Farrington was not present at the meeting, hav­ ing been detained by the death of his father at Streator.. Editors End Session. With a tour of the city in carriages, ending with a luncheon at Hoffer- kamp's park near the fair grounds, the convention of the German Press asso­ ciation was ended. The entire day was given over to entertainment, aB the business sessions were concluded. All the editors expressed themselves as highly pleased with the courtesies ex­ tended by the business men during their stay in Springfield, and they went away with many pleasant impres­ sions of the capital city. (Officers for the ensuing year were chosen as fol­ lows: President--E. F. Schader, Elgin. Vice-president--Julius Dietrich, Blooa- ington. Secretary--H. Goldberger, Peoria. Treasurer--B. F. Sexauer, Springfield. Executive committee--Peter Kline, Au­ rora; L. P. Wolf, Peoria: F. Stedinger, Rookford; Albert Weiss, Pekin, F. Qlo- gauer. New Electric Road Planned. An electric railroad' across Illinois and paralleling the main line of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern is contemplated in the Incorporation of the Vincennes, Centralia & St. Louis Transit company, which was licensed to incorporate by the secretary of state. The principal office is in Chi­ cago and the capital stock is nominal­ ly $30,000. It is proposed to con­ struct the road.from a point on the east line of the steto opposite the city of Vincennes, lnd^|hrough the coun­ ties of Lawrence, Richland, ©lay, Ma­ rion, Clinton and St. Clair to a point in Madison or St. Clair county oppo­ site the city of St. Louis. The incor­ porators and first board of directors are: J. J. Burns, M. A. Peoples, C. F. Burns, Denis O'Connor and J. E. Burns, all of Chicago. STATE NEWS NOTES ACCOUNTS OF HAPPEN H4G8 IN ILLINOI8 FOR A WEEK. Vayo Appears In New Role. A petition for a writ of mandamus against I. N. Phillips, official reporter to the supreme court, to compel him to place a supply of law reports on sale in this city at two dollars a volume was filed in the supreme court by A. H. Vayo of this city. Vayo is the man who filed an information for criminal libel against Mr. Phillips in the Sangamon county court. He charged that Phillips, actuated by anger because of attacks on the lat- ter's monopoly of the law reports, pub­ lished a libelous statement. Village Loses in Court's Decision. The village of East Springfield must, turn over its effects to the city of Springfield, according to a decision given by Judge Owen P. Thompson of Jacksonville, who heard the arguments made in the injunction suit instituted by the village some time ago. Judge Thompson sent a written opinion on the subject to Judge Creighton, in which he holds the election held was properly legal, and that the village was annexed to the city. Attorney Ed Henry, representing the village, will appeal the case. Entitled to Warner's Property. The supreme court decided that the widow of Col. John Warner, the de­ ceased Clinton millionaire, was en­ titled to his property. The decision of the lower court, which declared the ante-nuptial contract null and void and upheld the right of Mrs. Warner to renounce the will and take her statu tory allowance, is affirmed. RISK FIRMS THREATENED Alleged Dilatory Tactics of Concerns in Leland Hotel Fire Loss May Result in Revocation of Their Licenses. Springfield.--Because the insurance companies which held the risks on the damaged Leland hotel were said to be seeking a compromise, the own­ ers of the hotel announced an en­ deavor to have the state superintend­ ent of insurance revoke their licenses for doing business in Illinois. Instead of paying the award of the arbiters or taking advantage of their option to rebuild the hotel, the companies were alleged to have made an effort to get together with the owners. The award of the arbiters was $55,000, but M. P. White, one of the trio, was alleged to have made a promise to the companies by whom he was selected that he would not sign any award giving over $17,000. He was declared to have frankly explained the condition to the other two when asked a reason for his refusal to settle the matter. Then, it is alleged, the companies entered into negotiations with the hotel owners to make a settlement, offering first $47,- 000, then $50,000 and finally $52,000. All the offers were refused and then it was purposed by the owners to re­ port the violation of the law by the companies. FIGHT TO SAVE TOWN. Water Within Few Inches of Embank­ ment's Top at East St. Louis. East St. Louis.--With the arrival of a 34.8 foot flood crest Mayor Cook and other city officials directed the fight to save East St. Louis from the sweep of the Mississippi on the north and the backwater on the south. Five hun­ dred men worked day and night pil» ing sand bags to strengthen the em­ bankments of the Baltimore A Ohio and the Illinois Central, the keys to the situation. The current was at that time within a few inches of the top, and had the Baltimore & Ohio em­ bankment yielded a sweeping current would have covered the "island," paralyzed terminal facilities and ad­ vance on the residence section. Mayor Cook arranged in such an event to rush a large force to the relay depot and guard the 700 feet of exposed ter­ ritory between Broadway and Summitt avenues. There the great fight was made to 6ave East St. Louis in 1903. The levee at Prairie du Pont burst, flooding 10,000 acres of farm land. The back water routed out 800 resi­ dents of Ruch City, a negro settle­ ment. It is believed the property loss will reach millions. Thousands of acres of crops have been destroyed, farm buildings washed away, and hun­ dreds of head of stock drowned. IMPRESSED THE LITTLE ONE. Marion Mine Fire Extinguished, Marion.--The flre in the Keystone and Big Muddy mine has been ex­ tinguished, and the fans started to drive out the smoke and gas. Hun­ dreds of dollars' worth of props have been destroyed and it is estimated that the total loss will run into thou­ sands. Woman Marries at 71.

Deportment of Colored Gentleman a Matter of Admiration. Little Elsie, who had recently re­ turned from a visit to Washington, was describing to her companion some of the wonderful things she had ob­ served in the Capitol City. "One evening," said she, breathless­ ly, "papa took me to have supper at a grand hotel where the dining room was awfully big, and at the tables around us sat great senators and rep- representatives with their wives, all drinking champagne!" "I suppose "the manners of these great persons were perfect?" ventured her companion, with widened eyes. "Yes," returned Elsie. "But," she added, with a sudden burst of enthusi­ asm, "the deportment of the colored gentlemen who served the wine was perfectly beautiful!" - People Talk About Good Things.
