preserved in the water until scores of
feet thick.
Then sinking, submerged the swamp
and washed in, then perhaps sand and
more mud, perhaps a little lime, then
more mud or clay, then another swamp
formed. Meanwhile, the vegetation In
the first swamp had been compressed
and long afterwards “was converted
into coal.
‘About 200,000,000 years ago the
earth’s crust began to shrink again
the whole Appalachian region had been
shoved northwestward, narrowing it
by 100 or 200 miles and pushing its 30,-
000 feet of rocks into great mortheast
southeast folds or ridges, scores of
hundreds of miles long. For a time
central and’ eastern Pennsylvania ri-
valed the Alps or Andes of today with
snow-capped mountain tops, for there
are evidences of glaciers of this same
age in Massachusetts and elsewhere.
This movement drove the gas out of
the coal of Eastern Pennsylvania and
converted it into anthracite, and drove
the oil and gas out of the rocks of
central and eastern Pennsylvania so
that those sections have no oil or gas
today, That explains why nearly all
of the beds of rock you see in this
section today are standing on end or
bent -into folds. ~ ,
But that was a long time ago and
since then there has been time enough
to wear those mountains down. Even-
tually, Pennsylvania became flat,
great breaks formed in the earth’s
crust. The surface was changing con.
stantly. To the east, the continent
sank under the ocean again, and again
part of the State was under water.
Then it was uplifted, became dry land
and our southeastward flowing streams
developed on its slope.
Then, during the last million years,
glacial ice pushed southward at least
three times into northeastern Penn-
sylvania, rubbing down the hills, fill-
ing up valleys, leaving an irregular
blanket of clay, sand, and gravel that
after its retreat, resulted in the lakes
and waterfalls that make these parts
of the State outstanding places for re-
creation,
The final result has been the Penn-
sylvania of today, with its wonderful
variety of scenery of mountain and
valley, of water gaps and wind gaps,
of plateau and deep winding gorges,
of lakes and waterfalls.

AMERICAN SPORTS IN HIGH FAVOR
WITH COUNTRY’S SOLDIERS OF SEA
“Location or distance never dampens the enthusiasm of U. S. Marines for
athletic sports, no matter where they happen to be,” says Major E. T. Lloyd,
who, while on temporary duty as a recruiting officer in Philadelphia, has served
at numerous posts and stations during his career as a Marine Corps officer.

Solomon’s Judgment Between the Two Mothers.—In I Kings 1 are recorded the incidents surrounding the
death of David, who promised Bath-sheba that his son by her, Solomon, should have the throne. After charging
Solomon in regard to his duties, David died. At Gibeon the Lord appeared in a dream to Solomon, asking what
he wished as a gift. Solomon chose wisdom, and in I Kings 8 is recorded the first instance of the judgment for
which he became so famous. Two women came before him, elaiming the same child, each declaring that the oth-
er’s child had died during the night and the surviving child was her own. Solomon asked for a sword and ordered
the living child divided into two parts, one part to be given to each woman. At this command the real mother
take half the living child. So Solomon ordered the child given to the first mother, declaring that the child, whose
welfare was her first thought, was hers. This illustration by Merian was engraved in 1625.
