THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK

LIBEL SUITS ARE BARRED

courses until a careless waiter, (Mr.
Jillson), upsets a tray of dishes upon the
bride's head, was next in order.
The scene in the dentists office was de
voted principally to a struggle between
the doctor, (Dr. Hill), and an unwilling
patient, (Miss Dutton) ; the giving of
gas, the removal of a monster tooth, and
the final resustication.
Then came "Moonlight in the Park."
Let the orchestra softly play Juanita, let
the timid hide their heads, while the
erentle moon and twinkling stars look
down approvingly as the angry comet
soars onward into space. Let not the
curious ask who the models were ; let it
suffice to say in defense of the young
woman, that the act was never rehearsed.
The interior of photographic studio
was shown in a most ludicrous and at the
same time effective manner, by Dr. Hill,
Mr. Smith and Miss Dutton, the climax
being the presentation to the sitters, of
their photographs (?).
The closing scene was a pretty tab
leau, "Good Night," a little girl, (Miss
Taylor), in night gown and with candle,
coming out, hanging up a Christmas
stocking, and kneeling down to pray as
the light fades.
The details of the entertainment were
in the hands of an active committee of
which Mrs. Hill was at the head. As a
prophesy for the future its success au
gurs well, demonstrating very forcibly
a wide range of possibilities in this direction.
ICE ON MOOTAIN TOPS.
Ag-eti Ag-o When Manj JTew England
Hill Were Covered.
One of the most interesting subjects
for discussion among geologists is, How
far above the mountain summits did the
great ice cap of ages ago extend? As to
Mount Washington, there has always
been a question with them whether it
was covered at all during that time.
In Prof. G. Frederick Wright's fine
work, The Ice Age in North America,
many interesting facts are brought out
which throw much desired light on the
matter, for the mountains of New England
and the middle states serve the purpose
of glacioineters, preserving upon their
flanks and summits indubitable evidence
of the great depths of the ancient ice
sheet over that portion of the country.
It requires, he states, but a cursory ex
amination to see that the highest point
of Mount Desert Island, on the coast of
Maine, was completely covered by the
glacier, showing that at the very margin
of the ocean the ice must have been con
siderably more than 1,500 feet deep. Even
Mount Washington, he avers, was either
wholly enveloped by the ice current, or
if a pinnacle projected above the glacier,
it could have been no more than 300 or
400 feet higher, Prof. Hitchcock having
found transported boulders to within
that distance of the summit. The icje
current passed over the Green Mountains,
where they are from 3,000 to 5,000 feet
in height, in a course diagonal to that of
their general direction, showing that such
a mountain chain made scarcely more of
a riDDle in the moving: mass than a
sunken log: would make in a flowing
river.
Further south, Mounts Monad nock,
Tom and Holyoke, the Berkshire Hills
and East and West Mountains near New
Haven,were almost completely enveloped
in ice. Between the Adriondacks and
the Alleghenies the Mohawk valley was
filled nearly to the height of the Catskills,
and the southern edge was pushed up in
Monroe, Sullivan, Tioga and Potter coun
ties, Pa., to a height of 2,000 or 3,000 feet
above the sea.
In regard to the reference to Prof.
Hitchcock and Mount Washington, it
may be added that one boulder or stone
found at the summit by him he believes
to have come from Cherry mountain, as
they have been found nowhere else, at
least in great numbers, in this vicinity.
In an interesting talk to a company of
Appalachian visitors here three years ago
Prof. Hitchcock mentioned this fact as
conclusively proving the correctness of
the theory that the top of the mountain
was once covered by ice. But that does
not fully answer the question of the as
tonished old ladv who, after looking
about a while, exclaimed : "Wall, I do
declare ! how did all these rocks git here,
anyway?"
