The third lecture of the course, at the Sus quehanna Collegiate Institute yvas delivered Monday evening, by Pennsylvania's favorite geologist, our esteemed townsman, Mr. JAS. MACFARLANK. The subject of the lecture yvas " The footprint in the sand." The lec turer began by giving an account, in a few words, of a foot print that was seen in the sand by CRUSOE in his wandering upon the island where ho supposed no one liyed but himself. Though CRUSOE had seen no oue; though to all appearance he was as much alone with the wild beast as ever, yet there was in that impress of a foot proof that could not be doubted, proof carrying conviction that a man Jiad been there. The rocks reveal to every passer-by who will but look, facts that tell the story* of their formation. WM. SMITH discovered that diff erent strata can be identified by the fosils they contain. If the whole -earth should be destroyed by volcanic eruption and every vestige of life be buried 'ueath a mass of cinders and laya for ages, and then be removed by the yvashiiigs of the elements for untold years, some future race called into existence by creative fiat, might see some of the characteristics of the people yvlio once inhabited the earth. The Chinese, with his quaint features, could be told from the African, yvhile the American would represent the characteristics of all the people of the earth. We find to day in the ruins of Ilerculaneum and Pompeii the impresss of a hand, the skel eton of a man, the shape in the ashes of the head and neck of a girl. Geolegy iti like man ner preserves to us in her mystic storehouse the hones of animals, the leaves of trees, the scales of fishes and the wings of birds. As we ponder over the remains our minds yvau der back to the time yvhen these bones were clothed with flesh, and these leaves waved from the branches of some forest tree, when these scales glided through the yvide waste of waters on the back of some sea monster and these yvings circled high in the azure vault of heaven. The lecturer gave the classes ot animals and their subdivisions. Space will not allow us to give these however instructive they may be. Mention was made of the custom in the early history of man, to preserve by wri ting upon stone the facts that were desired to go down to posterity. In like manner nature has written on stones what she wished com ing ages to know. The kinds of rock and their meaning were explained at length.— What the different layers, strata and forma tions revealed to the geologist was clearly set forth. We were told of the myriad# of shells that filled the seas at oue time and whose re mains now form large and thick areas of rock. We were told how the rocks were bent and doubled up and faulted in the ages past. We were told how the soil where the Institute now stands and for some distance north and south, was ail brought in and deposited here from some lands quite distant. This deposit or drift as it is called, was occasioned as most geologists suppose, by glacial action; but this is only theory—same future geologist may explain it in another way. The lecturer gave an interesting account of the uses of geology. How by it the farmer could tell where the soil is best; how the miner could tell where to commence digging to be successful; how the coal fields are lo cated, and he also told us that by looking at a geological map of a country* we could tell, in a measure, the character and occupation of its people. We were given a clear idea of the coal measures in the United States. Our at tention yvas directed to the fact that by the goodness of Providence our coal measures all lay near the surfa'ce, so that the coal could be obtained with comparative ease. In conclusion, Mr. MACFARLANE spoke of the time when he read with unfeigned pleas ure the wonderful story of ALADDIN and his lamp. He compared the lamp of ALADDIN to the lamp of the miner, and the black genii to the black coal that lies within the rocks.— The miner has but tocavry his lamp into the mine and coal lies ready to serve him. It drives the engine across continents and the steamers over the oceans; it is the power that moves the immense machinery in our machine shops and manufactories, and car i ries warmth and comfort to homes. Seldom have yve listened to so interesting an account of the grnud old rocks that lie be neath our feet. It awakened in us new zeal and new desires to study the footprints in the sands, the impress in the rocks and the yvonderful science of geology, j. D. B. Town Lots For Sale on reasonable terms.
