tion whatever in actual fact. Agassizand the other early geologists arranged the details and the exactorder of their (alleged) successive life-forms by comparison withthe embryonic development of the modern individual, and nowHaeckel and Spencer have tricked the world into believing theycan prove their doctrine of Evolution by showing that themodern embryonic development of the individual follows this (ar-tificial) succession in time. No wonder most scientists have gottired of such whirligig reasoning. Professor Dennert declares that unless a definite end be putto this family-tree nuisance by Haeckel and others, the bookscontaining them will soon be relegated to the lumber-room ofscience, there to turn yellow among dust and cobwebs.

They include, however, not onlythe trap, basalt, etc., of true volcanic origin, but also theslates, quartzites, gneisses, schists, and granites, which arealso termed metamorphic, or changed, rocks, because pro-duced, in some cases at least, from ordinary water-formedrocks by the action of a much more moderate degree of heat. Aqueous rocks are called sedimentary, because producedfrom a sediment deposited in water. They are also said tobe stratified, because formed in successive strata, or layers,one on top of another. Ordinary gravel, sand, and mudbelong to this class; and these, when hardened or consoli-dated, become, respectively, conglomerate, sandstone, andshale. They are said to be fossiliferous, when they containfossils, or remains of plants or animals embalmed in theirsubstance. In regard to the age of
