OLDEST LAND IN THE WORLD
had lts Origin in the Lauren.
tian Highlands.

Stretching across Canada, north OF
the st. Lawrence, and ending in tho
regions about the source. of the Mis-
sissippi, is range of low granite hills
called the Laurentian highlands. These
hills are really mountains that are al
most worn out, for they are the old.
est land in America, and, according
to Agassiz, the oldest in the world.
In the days when there was nothing
but water on the face of the globe,
these mountains came up-a long is.
land Of primitive rock with universal
ocean chafing against its shores. None
Of the other continents had put in
their appearance at the time America
was thus looking up. The United
States began to come to light by the
gradual uplifting of this land to the
north and the appearance of the tops
of the Alleghenies which were next
in order. Later the Rockies started
up. The United States grew south
ward from Wisconsin and westward
from the Blue Ridge. An early view
Of the country would have showed a
large island which is now northern
Wisconsin, and q long thin tongue Of
this primitive rock sticking down from
Canada into Minnesota, aud these two
growing states looking out over the
waters at the mere beginnings Of
mountain ranges east and west. They
were waiting for the rest of the Unit
ed States to appear.-The Atlantic.
