Ay Ics-coverreD Continent.— According to .
Professor Agassiz, the continent of North
America was once covered with ice a mile in.
thickness. In proof of this conclusion, he says
that the slopes of the Alleghany range of mountains are glacier-worn to the very top, except
a few points which were above the level of the
icy mass. Mount Washington, for instance,
over six thousand feet high, and the rough, unolished surface of its summif covered with
oose frazments, just below the level of which
" glacier marks come to an end, tells that it lifted its head above an ice-covered continent.
