These peculiar marks, called by ge

of glaciers. They were produced by
the grludlng of pebbles upon the rock
surfaces under the glaciers as the lat
ter moved to the sea.
How long ago it wns that glaciers
flowed over Manhattan Island Is a
matter of uncertainty. The period has
been variously estimated at from 5,000
to 50,000 years. The present trend

DEATHWATCH BEETLES.
Their Tapping Stands For Courtship
and Not For Warning.
Much mental anguish could have
been saved to past generations and
some not so very fur pust If people
bad known thai ihe mysterious tup
ping of the "dentliwatch" stood for
courtship and not death. A writer in
the Scientific American explains, that
lhe various species of the beetle anobi
um and their bigger relatives of the
genus xestobiuin not only attack furni
ture, but so completely riddle the
whole woodwork of old houses by their
borings as to render the structures un
safe. Indeed, a beam thai has been
tenanted by these Insects for a num
ber of years Is little better than an
outer shell containing' a mass of wood
dust. The xestobium is the common
deatbwatch. while the anoblun also
is in the habit of making a tapping
sou nd,
The nocturnal tappings of these In
sects, distinctly audible In a room
where there Is an otherwise complete
absence of noise, has foi iti:::i,v w
rles been regarded by the sitpernU
tious as a warning of the approach ot
death. This uucanny Interpretation of
a mysterious sound is scarcely surpris
ing when It Is remembered Unit only
In recent years have naturalists tils
covered Its true cause.
The little beetle has been found In
some secluded spot, jerking Its bard
head at regular intervals upon the sur
face of the wood beneath It. So far
as can be told. Its rapplngs constitute
a kind of courtship ritual. Obviously
they have no connection with the lat
ter eud of mankind.
