SO gradual aud so slow that the
longest lived being cannot perceive
it: but that the climate change
takes place is very evident, neverthe-
less. Another evidence is adduced
in the popularity Of the animals, the
remains of which have been found in
the polar regions, when that region
had much more equatorial bearing
than it has at present. The proof
that tropical plants grew there is also
undisputed. The bearing of the
ancient Christian churches, which
were invariably built facing east or
west, but which now differ material
ly from those points, is said to be
another proof of this terrestrial.
