Often we hear of the grandeur and sIblimity of Nature. There isn't so much said about the hard hearted ness and cruelty of Her.
 How slowly Nature builds up; how suddenly and ruthlessly She de- stroys. It is hard to understand the hows and why's. It seems, at times. that Nature has reached the peak of achievement and in order to keep busy She delivers side swipe here. a swift kick there, and knocks down in short minute what has taken years, yes, ages to construct.
 Then, slowly, as if to keep amused and busy, She begins on a rebuild ing scheme. She uses the same old stuff, puts it back in the same old way and in the end there is, appar- ently, nothing better than what She had before.
 Those On the scale of things lower than we are don't attemp to fath- om the whims of Nature. We try to and make discouraging success.
 We build a settlemen and get along contentedly. It has taken long time to hew out of stone and wood our habitations.
