And God said, let there be a firma-

And God made the armament, and

were above the armament; and it was
so. And God called the ornament

s.
This second day of creation, accord
ing to Genesis, is that period of the
earth's existence, according TO the
nebular hypothesis, when the earth
passed by cooling from the igncous, or
fiery condition, to the aqueous. At the
close of the first day all the water, air,
the carbon which is now in the coal
measures, with many other liquids and
gases, were in vapory condition, envel-
oplng the dark ball of the earth in a
dense and impenetrable cloud. But
the earth continued slowly to lose It's

and their precipitation on the earth.

the first aqueous rocks were formed:
but as yet the earth was IN too heated a

And God said let the waters under

records the third day of creation It,
geologically, is the period after which
volcanic action began. upheaving por-
tons of the earth'S crust above the
the ocean level. the waters sinking by
gravity into the depressons.
The eleventh verse, which speaks of
the earth bringing forth grass ETC., re-
ters to the first vegetation, which was
undoubtedly of the nature of ichens
and MOSES which attached themselves
to the rocks. As yet the light of the
sun could not penetrate the dense at
mospherc, and the light existing at the
earth's surface could not have been more
than faint twilight. Probably none of
the vegetation with which we are now
familiar could have thrived in the
dense, poisonous atmosphere and al
most total darkness of the earth.
Those who read the Mosaic account
and familiarize themselves with the
geologic account must be struck with
the perfect harmony between the ac-
counts of revelation and science.

was purchased aud consolidated with
it only few years ago. 1t has been
fortunate in securing contributions for
its pages from the leading writer's and
and artists of the language, while il
has given to its readers many works
that have become imperishable classics
in juvenile literature. St Nicholas has
had for many years large circulation

many royal children. When the chill

were young the Prince took six copies
for his household and the present
