cred his very interesting talk. He told
much Of interest about the different
kinds of earth which are to be- found
in this vicinity, where they could be
found and probable causes for their
being in the particular place where
they are found. He said that the fact
that there was bed Of rock in the
Kennebec river, at the place where
the dam is located, that was much
harder than that of the rest of the
river, was the reason that the city OF
Augusta was situated at this partic.
ular place. The reason for this is that
the ledge which has an abrupt rise ot
II feet was the basis of the water
power which was of so much import.
ance to the development of the city
and it also was the head of navigation
on the river.
He spoke OF the effect which the
different kinds of soil had on the
economical conditions of portion OF
the country and of the particularly
fine granite which is so abundant here
and which. in times Fast. has been re-
sponsible for an industry which sup
ported many men here. This granite
is some of the best in the United
States and it has been used for many
public buildings in the states this
side of the Mississippi.
The effects of erosion and other
natural phenomena was taken up and
its effect upon the topography of this
region was clearly shown.
Mr.. Burrs address was very inter.
esting and instructive and it brought
home very clearly to the audience the
manner in which natural happeniny IS
can and do shape the human destiny
