Mr. Macfarlane's Lecture.
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.
