True, an easily transferred devo-

him: the one was as ornamental

with Jack because the boy had

himself and Jack q delightful and

coolly ignored; and the colonel dis

When we eat protein we consume

Geology Lessons
ADD TO PLEASURE OF ANY TRIP OR WALK
By Garrett p. Seryiss = the old way natl,

Many years ago there appeared
anonymously. in a New York
newspaper, an account of q walk
from the Battery to upper Broad
way, during which the stroller
regarded with q knowing eye as
he loitered along the varied char.
acter of the sidewalk stones, not
ing the geological strata from
which they had been taken, and
letting his Imagination picture the
fluctuating scenes Of earth his
tory over whose revolving stages
he was walking In the sunlight
Of a nineteenth century day.
Sometimes he was aided In his
identifications by the fossil skele-
tons of ancient animals that had
remained In the hard slabs of
stone, and were now slowly wear
ing away under the friction OF
the passing feet.
1t was a fascinating story, and
i have often lamented that I
neglected to put II In q scrap

faded, and remember clearly
only its general features and the
remarkable charm that II exer-
cfsed because of the uniqueness
and the imaginative appeal Of its
subject. But anyone with q fair
sum Of geological information,
which need by no means amount
to professional or technical ac-
quaintance with the subject, may
make a similar excursion into
paleozoic ages while walking over
the pavemepts Of almost any
town. Some OF the most ex-
quisite fossils that I have met
with outside a museum I have
seen embedded In the sidewalks
of a small New York State city,
where nobody thought that they
were anything more than curious,
accidtntal knots or whoris In the
stone.
