Some time later a humor broke out be.

very red with a sticky, clear fluid com

spring. I always used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment which never failed to
heal it up. The last time it broke
out it became so bad that I was dis

ICE DRIVEN PLANTS AND ANIMALS.
Before the glacial period the plants
which now flourish in the latitude of
Virginia and North Carolina were
growing in a happy family in Spits
bergen, northern Greenland, and on
the Arctic shores of North America.
Arctic expeditions have repeatedly
! brought back from the middle, tertiary
, deposits north of Disco island the
embedded loaves and fruit of mng
. nolias, sassafras, hickories, maples,
poplars, birches, lindens, southern
cypress and .several species of se
quoias, Including the gigantic forms
now found only In California, and
three kinds of glnko trees now pe
culiar to Japan. The evidence of
I these fossil plants is conclusive that
I just before the glacial period there
j was a warm climate all around the
north pole.
Until the theory of the origin of
J species by natural selection was ac
1 cepted, and the facts about the glacial
I period brought to light this distribu
! tlon of trees and plants was a pro
j found mystery. For tho solution of
the problem wo are largely indebted
to the late Prof. Asa Gray, who in
1S59 read a paper before the Ameri
can Academy of Arts and Sciences on
the flora of Japan, which attracted the
attention of tho scientific world and
opened the way to the full exposition
I of his theory, which was set forth in
an address before the American Asso
1 elation for the Advancement of Scl
; ence at Dubuque, la., in 1S7:!. The
; way had been prepared for this work
by the fact that the large collection of
; Japanese plants gathered by Coinmo
i dore Perry's expedition in 1S57, which
i opened Japan to the world, was placed
in his hands for examination. The re
sult was that it appeared that there
was a striking similarity between the
: plants of Japan and those of the Altai
mountains, of the Himalayas and the
eastern portion of North America,
and a striking dissimilarity between
j the plants of these regions and those
of the Pacific slope of North America,
while the most remarkable resent
; bianco was between tho plants of
I Japan and those of eastern I'nlted
! States.
The Pacific coast of tho United
States is rich in coniferous trees like
cedars, sequolns and redwoods, but is
conspicuously lucking in most of the
trees familiar on the Atlantic slope.
For example, there are not half as
many maples, or ashes, or poplars,
or walnuts, or birches, or oaks on the
Pacific slope, and they are of such In
ferior quality that it is said "a pas
sable wagon wheel can not be made
of California wood, nor a really good
one in Oregon." The Atlantic slope
has four times as many species of non
coniferous trees as the Pacific slope,
but only a little more than half as
many coniferous species.
Tho first step in the solution of this
problem is found in the relation of
the land continents in the northern
hemisphere toeachother. Whereas, th"
southern ends of the continents pro
ject far out into deep seas so that they
are widely separated from each other
at the north they approached each
other and are separated by shallow
seas. The water in lieliiing strait is
only 1J0 feet deep, and that in the sea
only a few hundred feet deep, so that
a slight elevation of the bottom of the
ocean there would join Asia to Amer
ica, and permit tho migration of plants
and animals from one continent to an
other. That these continents have
been recently joined by such a change
in land level is proved by the fact
that borws of the mammoth have been
found on both sides of Hehring strait,
and even on the Prlbyloff islands, far
out in Hehrlng Sea. A similar belt of
shoal water extends from Greenland
by way of Iceland to Norway. It. is
therefore easy to suppose a continu
ous land connection dear around the
north pole enabling plants and ani
mnls to migrate freely. On the oth
er hand, the general resemblance of
species both of plants and animals in
the lands surrounding the north pole
is proof that there has been such op
portunity for migration. Whereas,
there is this great similarity in spe
cies In the northern hemisphere, there
is n total dissimilarity between the
species occupying the southern ex
tremities of the continents in the
southern hemisphere.
Hut with the coming on of the gla
cial period this happy family of spe
cies around the north pole was rude
ly disturbed by the new conditions.
Tho lowering of temperature and the
slow accumulation of glacial ice mado
it impossible for trees of a temperate
climate to maintain their existence on
those inhospitable shorea. If they
were to exist any longer they must
emigrate to milder climes. Hut how
shall a tree which Is fixed In the soil
remove to better Its fortune? Of
course, a single tree is helpless in
such a situation. Hut, as Prof. Gray
wittily says, when a tree is driven
to un extremity It can "take to the
woods," and tlm forest can begin a
majestic movement toward better
climes.
As the conditions favoring the for
est became newe along Its northern
belt they wouia become favorable
over a corresponding belt stretching
to the south. Over this belt tho seeds
would bo Kradlly scattered by vari
ous agencies. Pome seeds would be
blown by the wind, some carried by
streams of water, some by birds and
squirrels and other animals. Where
us formerly such stray seeds had
failed to find favorable conditions in
th'se new fields, now they would be
the favored ones, and thus the spe
cies which they represented would
slowly spread southward until tho
glacial period hail exhausted Itself
and the extreme limit of favorable
conditions had been reached.
Thus It would result that the same
species would be driven down to cor
responding latitudes on both sides of
the. Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and
we should have what now appears
namely, the same species of plants it
Japan, the middle I'nlted States atid.
Kurope and northern Asia.
Hut It still would seem to be a puz
zle why the plants were not tho
same in corresponding latitudes on
both sides of the American contin
ent. Why should the species of plants
in California be so different from
those in Pennsylvania and Virginia?
This is answered by considering the
different conditions which prevail on
the east and west sides of a contin
ent, liecause the world turns from
west to east the prevailing winds in
tho northern hemisphere are from the
southwest. The breezes of the Pacific
coast urn therefore sea breezes, la
den with moisture, while those in the
eastern Atlantic states are land
breezes, which have been largely be
reft of their moisture and are subject
to greater alternations of tempera
ture. The constant action of these di
verse conditions would have a direct
effect to favor some species on the
Atlantic coast that would not be fa
vored on the Pacific, and vice versa.
Tims we have everything accounted
for in a most natural way.
The reason why these plants have
not returned to Greenland and Spitz
bergen is that the glacial period Is
not yet over, it still prevnlls in those
northern regions. Hut they bave
started on their northern Journey and
have partially recovered the ground
lost. Some have already attained their
original homes, leaving, however,
many stragglers on the way. The
main body of arctic vegetation is the
same with that which covered the
country of the middle Atlantic states
during the climax of the glacial pe
riod. Of the straggling remnants
still left in favoring situations one of
the most Interesting is Scotch heath
er, which is found not only in Labra
dor, but in a few places In Massachu
setts, like Andover and Capo Cod. In
all the rock gorges opening Into Lake
ICrie remnants of the glacial vegeta
tion are preserved in the sequestered
and cool shady nooks. Some such are
also preserved in similar narrow, cool
gorges opening into the Ohio river
below Cincinnati.
Hut the mountains formed the best
retreats for the arctic plants, which
were following up the receding ice
sheet. Alpine plants are found on the
high elevations of the White moun
tains, and on the high peaks of the
Itocky and Sierra Nevada mountains
as far south as New Mexico, but are
absent over all the intervening areaB.
In some respects the effect of tho
glacial period upon animal life and
distribution was even more peculiar
than that on plants. During that pe
riod a large number of arctic spocles
were crowded down into central Eu
rope and into the middle and north
ern states of tho Atlantic coast and
Mississippi valley. In company with
man's remains there are found those
of the grizzly bear, the Irish elk, the
reindeer, the musk oxand tho arctic
fox, while the ibex and the cbamios,
which now occupy the high mountain
crags, descended to the valleys. Sev
oral of these northern species now ex
tinct were also present in these tem
perate regions.
The indirect effect of this incur
sion of arctic animals into the tern
perate zone was to cause the de
struction of many animal forms
which already occupied the region.
Just before the glacial period there
were living in America two extinct
species of the cat family as largo as
lions, four species of the dog family
as large as wolves, while the walrus
was found In Virginia, the sea cow
in South Carolina. There were also
living six species of horses, the South
American tnpir and llama, a camel,
two species of elephant nud two of
mastodons, a species of megatherium,
three of inegalonyx and one of tuylo-
don huge terrestrial sloths as largo
as the rhinoceros or even ub tho ele
phant.
Insects also, as well as plants and
the larger animals, were compelled to
reckon with the glacial period. Among
the most interesting illustrations of
this occurs In the White mountains,
where various Alpine species of but
terfib's are found near the Bummlt. In
ascending Mount Wushlngton ono
suddenly encounters near tho top
whole swarms of butterflies (Ontn
Semldca); so that, as Prof. Samuel
Scudder has said, so fur as insect
species are concerned, "in ascending
Mount Washington we pass, as It
were, from New Ilumpshlre to north
ern Labrador and tho. southern ei
tremlty of Greenland." Similar spe
cies oc.'ur also on the summit of tho
Hot ky mountains. The story is the
same. Dispersed far and wide during
the glacial period, these Insects have
at last been compelled to take refuge
on the summits of tho high moun
tains, where alone glacial conditions
purpetuully prevail.

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation of Health.
Proper food is the foundation of
health. People can eat improper food
for a time until there is a sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of troublo follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
Is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
drape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
' Last summer I was suddenly taken
with Indigestion and severe stomach
trouble nnd could not eat food with
out great pain, my 6tomach was so
sore I could hardly move about. This
kept up until I was so miserable life
was not worth living.
"Then a friend finally, after much
argument, Induced me to quit my for
mer diet nnd try Grape-Nuts
"Although I had but lltttle faitn I
rommenced to ub It, and great was
my surprise to find that I could eat
It without tho usual pain and distress
In my storcaeh.
"So I kept on using Grape-Nuts nnd
soon a marked Improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
"Very soon the yellow coating disap
peared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared,
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired , feeling left, and alto
gether I felt as if I had been rebuilt.
Strength nud weight came back rapid
ly and I went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
"To day 1 am a new woman In mind
as well as body, nnd I owe it all to
this natural food, GrapeNuts."
