The deposi aust be equal to the denudation, Thx we find that while some of the sedimen ary rocks have grown a foot in 73 years others have taken 6,800 years ti ‘ise that height. Thus the period « time that was required tg build up 100. 100 feet of sedimentary rock has varie ccording to locality -from 73,000,0( years to 680,000,000 years. It follow hat the active work of creation laste for a cycle intermediate between thes. “wo figures. The cycle varied with end ‘ess succession of periods of Gisturbanc »y volcanic force and glacial action ‘nd the frequent submersion of dr} land, alternating with the emerring 0° continents out of the seas. These may have ,retarded the growth of sedinicn tary rocks, but they cannot have accel erated it. A study of fossils teaches the steady uniformity with which the work of creation proceeded. Since man began to observe there has been no change in the forms of animal and vegetable life. A few species have disappeared—not one new species has been evolved. Not only do we find tite fauna and flora of ancient Egypt as depicted on monuments which are probably 8,000 or 10,000 years old identical with those which are found in that country today, but shells which inhabited our seas before the ice age and grew in an ocean whose bed overlay the tocky mountains are precisely the same species that are found in the Bay of Monterey and the waters of. the Chesapeake. It is evident that there has been no essential change in the conditions of life since these animals and these vegetables were ‘first created, yet how vast the shortest period which we can assign to. the gap that divides us from that remote epoch! Little by little the geologist is lifting the veil which covers the prehistoric record of our planet. ‘Che era which preceded the age of civilized man, with its vast rivers carrying down diluvia] floods to the ocean, and the ‘bursting forth of mountain ranges frém contrac. tions of the earth’s crust has been painted to the life. But no one has exercised his pencil on that preceding age, when the forests made way for clumps of stunted birch and willow, incessant snowfalls covered the plains, glaciers crept down from the north, and gradually a vast sheet of ice half a mile thick drove mankind, with the mammoth and the rein! deer, to those fortunate regions which, last ice age. ; Nor have we any distinct perception of that subsequent age when the ice melted or receded to the pole, or dense it had left, swamps steaming with tropical heat swarmed with uncouth batrachian and reptile life, trees of monstrous growth shed their shade over shiny pool» and black ooze, and in the distance long mountain ranges whose fontanel had not yet closed, poured a never ceasing flood of. lava down their sides.

The cycle varied with end ‘ess succession of periods of Gisturbanc »y volcanic force and glacial action ‘nd the frequent submersion of dr} land, alternating with the emerring 0° continents out of the seas. These may have ,retarded the growth of sedinicn tary rocks, but they cannot have accel erated it. A study of fossils teaches the steady uniformity with which the work of creation proceeded. Since man began to observe there has been no change in the forms of animal and vegetable life. A few species have disappeared—not one new species has been evolved. Not only do we find tite fauna and flora of ancient Egypt as depicted on monuments which are probably 8,000 or 10,000 years old identical with those which are found in that country today, but shells which inhabited our seas before the ice age and grew in an ocean whose bed overlay the tocky mountains are precisely the same species that are found in the Bay of Monterey and the waters of. the Chesapeake. It is evident that there has been no essential change in the conditions of life since these animals and these vegetables were ‘first created, yet how vast the shortest period which we can assign to. the gap that divides us from that remote epoch! Little by little the geologist is lifting the veil which covers the prehistoric record of our planet. ‘Che era which preceded the age of civilized man, with its vast rivers carrying down diluvia] floods to the ocean, and the ‘bursting forth of mountain ranges frém contrac. tions of the earth’s crust has been painted to the life. But no one has exercised his pencil on that preceding age, when the forests made way for clumps of stunted birch and willow, incessant snowfalls covered the plains, glaciers crept down from the north, and gradually a vast sheet of ice half a mile thick drove mankind, with the mammoth and the rein! deer, to those fortunate regions which, last ice age. ; Nor have we any distinct perception of that subsequent age when the ice melted or receded to the pole, or dense it had left, swamps steaming with tropical heat swarmed with uncouth batrachian and reptile life, trees of monstrous growth shed their shade over shiny pool» and black ooze, and in the distance long mountain ranges whose fontanel had not yet closed, poured a never ceasing flood of. lava down their sides.
