Whoever expects to find stone that
will stand from century to century, de-
riding alike the frigid rains and scorch-
ing solar rays, without need of repara-
ton will indeed search for "the phi
losopher's stone." There is scarcely
substance which after having been ex-
posed to the action of the atmosphere
for considerable time does not ex-
hibit proofs of weathering. 1t may
even be observed on the most densely
compacted siliceous rocks. The fullest
extent of this inquiry can only be to
elucidate relative duration and COM
parative labor of appropriation to use
full or ornamental purposes.

tons of nature we find evident proofs
of her industry in all ages. Changes

antiquity to the present time on every
substance that comes within our OBJ
