GSOLOGISTS ARE SLOWLY WORKING OUT THE

PROBLEM. BY CHARLES G. D. ROBERTS.

In the wide awe and wisdom of the night I saw ‘he round world rolling on its way, Beyond significance of depth or height, Beyond the interchange of dark and day. marked the march to which is set no pause, And that stupendous orbit round whose rim Che great sphere sweeps, obedient unto laws That utter the eternal thought of Him. I compassed time, outstiipped the starry

At a recent meeting of the British Asso ciation a discourse was delivered by the new president, Sir Archibald Gerkie, on the most interesting problem of modern science ctheage of the world. Over a cen- tury has elapsed, says the Sanfrancisco Call, since James Hatton wrote his ‘*Theory of the Earth,” which was the first attempt to formulate a chronology of creation in accor¢« ance with the discoveries of modern science; since then knowledge has made vast strides, and his followers have access to a mass of information which he did not possess. Pl-yfair and Kelvin improved upon this work, and now Gerkie and the school to which he belonged have gone beyond them Ge»logists have ascertained that the rate a’ which erosion takes place can be measured ; by applying their scale tothe sedimentary rocks they have formed a hypothesis as to the time which has elapsed since erosion

Entertainment at South Melville. One of the best ente:tainments ever given in this section was held ic the schoolhouse at the above named place on Friday evening

29th ult. James W. Villet, Esq., occupied began. so , ~ the chair, and although the room was crowded fo put the proposition in simpler/ to its utmost capacity, perfect order prevail-

language, the surface of the globe is con- stantly wearing away under the influence of water and wind. The portions which are worn off are carried down to the sea or into hollows, where they are deposited and form sedimentary rocks. lf we can ascertain how long it takes to form a sedimentary rock we can figure out when the process of wearing: sway and redeposiling began.

fir Archibald states that on a reasonab'e cemputation the etratified rocks attain an average thickness of 100,000 feet. The material of which they consist was all washed down from high planes, depusited and left to stratify. By the inspection of river banks it is found that in places the surface of the land which has been carried down as sediment in rivers has been reduced at the rate of afoot in 730 years, while in other places, where the land was more stub- born, or less flexible, it has taken 6,800 years to lower the surface one fovt.

The deposit must be equal to the denud-

ed. The programme consisted cf dramas, dialogues, recitations, readings, vocal and in- strumental music, e'c. The musics! portion of the programme wes under the direction of Mrs. David Marchbank and Mr. P. Trainor, to whom great credit is due, as they made a pleasing variety. While all performed their part ia a manner that would do credit to pro- te:sionale, we do not wish to particularize but we cannot but mention the solo by Miss M E Ready and the dialogue entitied ‘*Shaving the Darkey” by Messrs. John Cutliffe, Philip Beer and Dougald McKinnon. ‘Phil’ is quite a comic.

Mrs. Marchbank is always a favorite with an audience in this vicinity, and her solos and accompaniments delighted everybody. She possesses a rare knowledge of music, and a rich, swcet and melodious voice.

At the conclusion a cordial vote of thanks was tendered Mr. J. H. Monaghan, the popular = echool teacher, who con- ducted the entertainment, and to Mrs. March- banks for kindly loaning the organ for the oc- : : crsion, and after singing the National An- tion.
