Once the mighty Mississippi was a baby river. Considerable information on the un- | dignified childhood of the Father of ‘Waters has been unearthed by Govern- ment_geologists delving in the glacial gravels of Minnesota, according to a re- port just issued by the G:ological Sur- vey. The story of the Mississippi, accord- ing to this report by Dr. Frank Leverett, goes back about 18,000 years to the days when the Wisconsin glaciation, the last great ice-sheet to descend over central North America, was retreating rapidly northward with a changing climate. As it passed over Minnesota, discharging enormous amounts of water as it melted, it left behind a rough country of hills and ridges. Among these the water followed the lines of least resistance and was represented by numerous swift streams loaded with debris from the melting ice. With the swiftness of their flow they cut deep valleys and even- tually settled down into a river system. Two Principal Rivers. Among these streams, but by no means the most conspicuous, was the Missisippi. By the time the ice finally which is being staged for the benefit of | charity.

U '(////J had disappeared from the area, how- ever, the system was represented by two principal rivers, the Mississippi and | the “Minnesota. Bpth were fed by melting ice from the Northwest. The two streams finally joined near the present site of Fort Snelling, Minn., and flowed together about as far as Minneapolis. This glacial Mississippi, Dr. Leverett | nature are also being formed by other | found, was considerably larger near its | source than the present river. It was | shallow, but in some places more than a mile across. The glacial Minnesota in some places was two miles across. It is now a small stream, but in those aays the Mississippi was only one of its tributaries. As the great glacial sheet moved northward the water of which resulted from its melting was impounded behind it, Leverett found, into an enormous inland sea, known to geologists as Lake Agassiz, which covered approximately 100,000 square miles in the United States and Canada, about as ‘great as the combined area of the pres- ent Great Lakes. The glacial Minne- sota River became the chief outlet for Luckies Please. @opyright, 1933, The Tobaceo Company. I like mine ' Toasted” I have my preferences.

The lake remained long after the glacier had disappeared far to the nor.a. | Shrunk to Present Size. The glacial Mississippi owed its size largely to the melting water in the path |of the retreating glacier. As soon as | this source of supply ceased, the young | river_shrunk to about its present size in Minnesota. The Minnesota River, | however, did not_decrease because of | the outflow from Lake Agassiz and the | | Mississippi was only a humble stream | flowing into_it. | | This condition persisted until the re- | treating ice sheet had entirely cleared | the Lake Agassiz region. This happened, | Leverett calculates, about 9,000 years | ago. Then the great inland sea found | | a more convenient outlet to the east- {ward and ceased to supply water for | the Minnesota. Then the river, robbed | | of its source of supply, subsided rapidly and socn became the minor stream it | |is today. But the Mississippi had sul- | fered no loss of supply, and soon sup- planted the Minnesota as the chiefl | stream of the glacial drift area. Even | | the almost complete disappearance o: | Lake Agassiz did not affect it. It | dominated the drainage system, other | rivers flowed into it, and it began to move southward as the great river it | is today. All this probably happened before the | first human being was in North | America, at least in that part of the | country. The chief change during | historic times is that the river has | become slower with the thousands of tons of sediment deposited in its bed | by its numercus tributaries. | Five Major Ice Sheets. | Leverett's study of the glaciation of | the Midwest shows that there were at | least five major ice sheets which came down_across Central North America, | with long intervals of apparently warm climate between them. The oldest, the so-called Nebraska glaciation, reached as far southward as Kentucky. | As the glaciers melted, the gravel frozen in the ice was deposited, form- | ing a thick layer. Over such a layer | wind-blown dust and debris settled, forming the well known “gumbo” of the Mississippi Valley. Then a layer of gumbo would be covered with an- other layer of gravel as another great ice sheet came down over the country. ‘Thus the successive layers of black can fore the human occupancy of the con-, tinent. Especially from the thickness of the gumbo layers. it is pointed out in the report, considerable can be de- duced as to the time intervals be-| tween the great glaciations. These layers contain most of the plant and animal deposits, since it was only in the inter-giacial periods that much life was possible.
