I its sides, as they have done upon most
other mountains of that height.
The picturesque features Of noun
tain scenery are mostly due to the
erosion of mountain torrents, and are
consequently feature of their youth.
In the old age, mountains become
subdued in appearance and generally
lose much of their ruggedness, con-
sisting merely of bosses of harder
rock moderate in height which have
resisted erosion more successfully
than other portions, and which are
now perhaps more than half buried
in the debris that accumulated about
their bases. The Piedmont region OF
our southern Atlantic states and large
portions of New England are striking
illustrations of this effect. In Eu-
rope the Ural mountains are another
illustration, which now consist Of q
moderate elevation Of old rocks ris-
ing but 1000 or 1000 feet above the
gently sloping plains Of sedimeitary
rock which stretch long distances
both into Europe and into ASIA.
While the majority of the mountains
of the world have been formed by the
slow elevation of vast continental
areas and the subsequent erosion o.
their sides and softer portions, there
is another class Of great interest d.
rectly connected with volcanic forces.
Vesuvius and Mount Etna are familiar
examples in the old world Of noun
tain heights which have been formed
by the successive and long-continued
eruption of lava and volcanic ashes
piling up a cone about the opening
tin the case Of Etna to a height of
nearly 10000 feet), while in North
America we have extinct volcanic
cones, formed in a similar manner, in
Mount Shasta (14,4OO feet in height,
Mount Rainier (14,4O0), Mount Popo-
catapetl (17,7S4) and various peaks
in South America, rising to a still
greater height. Mount Ararat and
several other peaks in that vicinity
are similar volcanic cones, rising to q
height of 1900 feet. Fujiyama, In
Japan, is another, rising in beautiful
conelike proportions to an elevation
Of 1900 feet from a region that is
dotted over with many other volcanic
cones Of smaller proportions.

The comparatively recent age OF
the highest mountains is most con!
clusively shown by the simple fact
that they have resisted the vigorous
denuding agencies which are every
where at work to tear them down;
that is, the fact that they exist at all
shows that they are young. For the
moment q wrinkle of land rises out
of the water the winds and rains and
frost begin to act upon 1t, tearing 1t
to pieces and carrying 1t back into
the sea. The higher it rises the more
active become all these agencies. The
TANKS of the slowly rising mass are
soon plowed into gorges and ravines
by the torrents Of water which flow
rapidly down them, while the rocks
above are cracked by the alternate
action Of tie heat of the suns rays
and the cold of the rarefied atmos-
phere at great heights, so that a vast
talus of rocky debris collects about
all the precipices, while glaciers in
slow but majestic movements pick
UP the debris and carry 1t down to
lower levels at the same time grind
ing a considerable portion of 1t into
powder, so that it can be esaily car
ried of by the floods resulting from
the melting Of the ice.
Calculations as to the rapidity with
which these denuding agencies are at
work in all high mountains would
show some startling results. At tho
rate at which these agencies are at
work in the Alps they will lose from
10000 to 10000 feet of their height in
the course of 100000 years, and
therefore be reduced to somewhat
such proportions as We have in the
Allegheny mountains or in the noun
tains in New England. But the great
er masses of mountains Of central
Asia and in western America
would resist these agencies for
a much longer period, and will re-
main in lofty heights long after such
marrow ranges as the Alps and the
Caucasus have dwindled into insig-
nificance. The principal evidence I'D
on which Prof. Russell relies to prove
the very recent elevation of Mount
Saint Elias is that its TANKS show so
little sign Of erosion. The streams
of water and ice coming down from

the Alps, the Caucasus and the noun
tains of central and southern Asia In
clude by far the highest mountains
of the world, the proposition an
nounced at the beginning of this ar
ticle Is sufficiently proved. At the
same time the age Of these loftiest
mountains is strikingly in contrast
with that of various older mountain
chains. What we call the Highlands
Of Canada, surrounding Hudson bay,
are composed of the Oldest rocks OF
the world, but they nowhere rise to
height of more than 1000 or 5000
feet. The Allegheny mountains like
wise, though younger than the High
lands of Canada, are much older than
the Rocky mountains, but they are
not half as high. In Europe the
Scandinavian and Ural mountains are
very old, and likewise comparatively
low, nowhere rising more than one
third the height of the Alps, or one
fifth of the height Of the mountains
in central Asia.
Now the generally accepted theory
concerning the earth's history is that
1t was originally molten globe,
which was slowly cooled down, allow
ing a crust to form over the surface.
which has gradually thickened in pro-
portion as the earth has cooled. This
crust Is therefore much thicker IN
the later geological periods than 1t
was in the earlier. AS Q consequence
the biologists point out that the in
evitable tendency would be for the
later wrinkles to be ampler than the
earlier ones; for in the earlier geo.
logical ages, when the crust was COM
paratively thin, it could not sustain
itself in so high an elevation as
would be possible when 1t had thick
ened up in later ages.
The extent to which strata Of later
times have been folded up and piled
upon each other is almost incredible.
Prof. Claypole measured the strata IN
the Allegheny mountains across Hunt
ingdon, Juniata and Perry counties.
in Pennsylvania, and found that
where they were originally spread out
on the ocean bottom to a distance
of 100 miles they had been wrinkled
and folded and crushed together, I'M
til they were compressed within 65
miles. Prof. Helm of Zurich estimates
that the folding up Of the Alps result
ed in the compression Of about "A
miles; that is, if the Alps were fiat
tened out again, as you would fiatten
out the wrinkles in cloth, two points
on the opposite sides Of the Alps
would be "A miles farther away from
each other than they are now. In
many cases in the Alps, and indeed
in the Appalachian mountains, the su-
perficial sedimentary strata have been
folded over, so that what is now the
top was formerly the bottom.

All the highest mountains are
young mountains. This is proved by
the fact that, high up upon their
shoulders, they bear sedimentary
rocks of the latest geological period
namely, the tertiary. Where now we
behold the great mountain systems OF
America, Europe and Asia, the waters
of a shallow sea prevailed during the
middle of the tertiary period. West
of the Mississippi river dry land was
limited to the narrow axis Of the
Rocky mountain chain, to an elevated
plateau now occupied by the great
basin OF which Utah is the center.
and to detached elevations along the
line of the Sierra Nevada mountains
bordering the Pacific ocean. Since
that time this vast area has been
lifted up out of the sea, carrying the
sedimentary rocks then formed with
their abundant sea shells to height
of several thousand feet and lifting
the original mountain peaks to cor
respondingly greater height.
In Europe, during the early tertiary
period the summit of the Alps was
but an insignificant island, rising out
of a sea covering all the central re-
gion of the continent. Into this sea
the streams brought down vast
amounts of gravel, sand and mud,
which were deposited upon the slop-
ing bottom, and which buried innu-
merable sea shells characteristic of
that age. Indeed, so abundant were
the sea shells over certain portions of
the bottom that extensive deposits of
more or less pure limestone were
formed from them. But now these
stratified rocks, with their included
shells, are found upon the TANKS Of
the Alpine chain 10000 feet or more
above the sea.
One hundred and fifty years ago
the occurrence of these shells in the
rocks on high Alpine elevations were
taken as evidence of the flood, and
Voltaire knew of no way to discredit
the evidence, except to deny its
truth. He therefore resorted to the
suggestion that the shells found at
these high elevations had been car
ried there by pilgrims and carelessly
thrown away. But Voltaire was no
geologist, or he would have disproved
the theory of the food by a better
argument, for these shells are found
as constituent elements of great thick
nesses of rock, entirely beyond the ca
pacity of so temporary a submersion
as thedeluge is reported to have been.
Rocks of similar age, with their in
cluded recent forms of oceanic life,
are found upon the TANKS of the Cau-
casus mountains at an equal height
and in Thibet and in the Himalaya
mountains. at an elevation of $4,000
or $4,000 feet.

A study of the French method Of
turpentining demands especial interest
at this time, when the naval stores In
dustry has assumed such large proper
tons in the south ana when improved
methods similar and probably more
advanced than the French system are
coming into such wide use.
In France, bleeding trees for turpen'
tine has been carried on for 80 years
or more, without killing the trees or
diminishing their flow Of resin. Here
in the United States, even in the rich
est forests of virgin yellow pine, the
productive life of tree Is only four to
six years when turpentined by the old
destructive box method, and Is to ~
years when the cup and gutter or cup
and apron systems are used, and
shallow chipping carefully followed.
The French method Of turpentining
however, requires more labor and
greater skill, and is less productive
than any of the several methods in
use in the United States.
The rapid diminution of the supply
of long-leaf timber suitable for tur'
pentining, and the immense loss that
has attended former practices OF tur-
pentining in the United States, have
led to a desire to inaugurate more
conservative systems.
In French practice, the pine tree Is
firt bled at an age of about Is years.
Trees from four to six inches in diam
eter, breast high, are commonly found
to contain a single face from three to
four inches wide. Before placing the
face. the rough outer bark is removed
rs far up the trunk as 1t Is expected
to wound the tree for that seasons
working. Beginning about the first of
March. the face proper is started by
cutting out a small chip, about four
inches square and one-half inch thick,
as near the ground as possible. An In
cision is then made in the lower part
of the face by driving a chisel-like tool
into the tree at an upward angle. The
edge of this tool is in the form of an
arc of a circle instead Of straight
line.
A strip OF zinc is fitted edgewise
into a groove on the back of the tool,
and is then inserted in the incision by
a smart blow from a wooden mallet.
For the first year, the gathering cup
is placed just beneath, on the ground.
For the succeeding years, the gutter
is raised at the beginning of the sea-
son. and the cup crowded between the
gutter and. a nail driven in the tree
lower down. The face Is Clipped
about 30 times between March and the
middle of October. At each chipping a
thin chip about one-half inch deep
and from one-half to one inch high is
removed, SO that at the end Of the
season the face has length Of about
20 inches. For the next four seasons
the face is heightened by about 30
inches for each, until at the end Of the
nth the streak is approximately II
feet from the ground. The chipping is
accomplished with an ak having a pc
culiarly curved blade. The plane Of
the blade is set at a slight angle to
the axis OF the handle 80 that the op-
orator can cut chip from the tree
by a downward stroke while standing
slightly to one side and in front Of
the face. The edge Of the blade has
