...know, of course, the height at which snow exists in the present glacial systems. By studying "moraines"--physical relics left by glaciers below the snow line--it is possible to determine the height at which snow melted during the great ice ages. Thus we have a ready comparison between the climate today and that of these ancient times. In those days, we find that, except during the inter-glacial periods, the world was somewhat colder than at present. The earliest glacial movements, which we discover also by noticing the depths at which moraine is deposited, were less frequent than those...

...acquired some knowledge of an athletic system known as Hakuda, then much practiced by the Chinese. He learned three different methods of Hakuda as well as twenty-eight ways of recovering a man from apparent death. One day he noticed a willow tree bending under a weight of snow but with none of the branches breaking. So in accordance with this idea and what he had learned in China he established the famous Yoshin-riu--"the spirit of the willow tree school." In Japan the art is only taught to men of great moral as well as physical character...
