Scientific Discussions by Garrett P. Serviss | Mr. "E. M." writes: "1 noticed a pe culiar form of rock strata forming Garret Mountain, near Paterson, N. J. The lower stratum, about sixty feet thick, la sandstone, whereas the upper stratum, about forty feet thick. Is un craoked. solid trap rock. This seems very strange to me, as according to geology, trap rock, which Is of vol canic origin, should be a lower stratum than sandstone. Samples of - these stones are asnt you herewith." Who reading that letter can doubt that there is a God In whose likeness man is made? It is only the God In man that turns the mind from grubbing for food, clothes and money to reading the history of the earth in the open book of the rocks. If there is any proof of the existence of some thing which at least deserves to be im mortal in human creatures, it is to be found In such things as curiosity about the happenings of a million years ago, whose marks are still around us. The sandstone that our observant correspondent found in his walk under the shoulder of Garret Mountain was laid down on the bottom of a Triasslc sea, or lake, a good many millions of years ago. It is the "red sandstone" characteristic of so much of northern New Jersey. He found It 60 feet thick, where he saw it. Inasmuch as it was originally a sand-bed, slowly deepening as the waters brought down more sand from the surrounding hills that bordered the ancient sea, anybody can form an idea of the great length of time that prob ably elapsed while the deposit was growing. Then came other ages dur ing which the land rose, the sea was drained off and physical and chemical forces, never hastening, transformed the sand into rock—a rock composed of close-packed and cemented grains, a petrified sea-bottom, over whose soft sands fish had once darted. Now, long before the sea flowed across a part of what was to become the ratlroad-gridded State of New Jersey, there lay over that same region, gleaming in the yet more an cient Taleozoic sunlight, ■ rock strata that had been formed at the bottom of seas whose antiquity would make teen the Trlassic seem recent, and below these strata again were vast masses of Archeozoic and Archean rocks, the lat ter belonging to the superficial portion of the great inner core of .the planet, which had been melted and remelted and crystallized and recrystallized on cool ing until it had lost all traces of any organic forms that might once have been there. But at last, after the Triasslc sea had been and gone, and its bed had turned to red sandstone, there came a great commotion under or among those deep-lying bottom rocks and molten lava. In enormous, viscous sheets, mak ing a road for itself by prying the rocky strata above it apart, and sliding up the subterranean sloping-way thus cre ated, moved slowly eastward, or north eastward, at the same time gradually approaching the surface until it burst out into the sunshine on top of the Triasslc sandstone, presenting a tower ing front of stiff, molten, but yet not liquefied, rock .hundreds of feet in height in some places as along the line of the Palisades of the Hudson— and there it stood, slowly cooling and crystallizing in contact with the air, smoking and casting off sulphurous va pors. like a "lava worm" thrust out of the trembling flank of Vesuvius or Etna. It crushed the sandstone beneath its "weight, and melted its grains along the surface of contact, as can still be seen in the specimens picked up by the letter writer under Garret Mountain, for the hills of trap rock overhanging Paterson had the same origin as the Palisades. At Garret Mountain, as at the Palisades, one may see the vertical columns and huge five and six sided The Car With a Dual Personality and a Proven Reliability.
