a MILLION YEARS.
Two WAYS Of Forming an Idea OF such
Vast Period of Time.

Vast Period of Time.
Astronomers and geologists habitu-
a,lv deal in large numbers. 1t is ut
terly impossible to conceive oil a oii-
lion miles, and even the familiar illus
tration of railroad train going so
many miles an hour for so many years
conveys a very vague idea
1t is equally difficult to form an
idea of the vast periods OF time with
which geologists deal. What idea can
man. who is limited to hundred
wears, form of million years.
Prof. Croll tells us how striking i'm
nression of such lapse of time may
be partially conveyed to the mind
"Stretch piece of paper eighty
/ three feet four inches long around the
walls of a room somewhat over twenty
feet square, recall the events OF life TO
give some conception of hundred
years. and then consider that mark
one.tenth of an inch broad at one end
of the paper represents the century
while the whole strip gives place fol
only million years"
This illustration is worth trying
An even more striking illustration
may be seen in the works OF nature
Could we stand upon the edge Oh
gorge mile and half in depth. ina
had been cut out Of the solid rock b
a tiny stream scarcely visible at tn
bottom of this terrible abyss, and wer
we informed that this little streamle
wns able to wear of annually onl
one-tenth Of an inch from Its rock
, | bed, what would our conception be
, the prodigious length of time that tn
0 stream must have taken to excava'
: the gorgep We should certainly ie
: startled on finding that the strea
