in the Rocks delivered Friday J January 31 was was' e excluded c from our l last st issue i iThe j The term fossil was once applied tc to anything dug from rom the ea earth th of animal vegetable or mineral ori origin origin in Then it came to be restricted to animal remains now it is applied to any evidence of former exist existence nce of living things or of f bygone phenomena na Thus the foot- foot tracks of anim animals als traces of inse insects ts as they crawled through the mud are fossils as truly as truly as are the complete and fragmental remains of plant and animal bodies and even rain drop marks marks' and andL LIM L- IM ripple marks marks are e included under the 1 same same term Many superstitious views 1 views are h held ld regarding the origin of fossils A Abut but the pr process cess of their formation is now quite fully understood Petrifaction is a pr process c ss by which organic matter is replaced ced by mineral matter not turned into stone as popularly popularly popularly arly supposed Petrifactions are to be distinguished from mere incrustations or external deposits of mineral matter Fossils of organic origin may be naturally naturally naturally ally group grouped d into several orders 1 1 Instances Instances In In Instances stances of the preservation of the organic material itself thus in frozen soils soil in in peat deposits and in stiff clays the animal and vegetable matter being preserved preserved preserved pre pre- served with comparatively little loss Coal is vegetable matter matter altered it is true but not de destroyed troyed 2 The external external ex external ex- ex form is preserved while the matter Itself is destroyed thus a leaf or shell embedded in mud may itself decay leaving a perfect mould of its structure This mould becoming filled with mineral mineral mineral min min- eral matter Iatter perpetuates ates th the form while revealing nothing of th the material of the original 3 Both form and structure re may be preserved as' as in the case of simple petrifactions while the organic matter has been entirely replaced by mineral miner 1 Sometimes the cast of the interior of ofa a whole structure may be found as for fore e example ample a a sh shell l 3 C et n k Fossils constitute tute a valuable le basis for geological reasoning Aside from the interest they remain as as i indisputable indisputable indis indis- disputable dis- dis proofs of bygone life and they reveal much of the former physical physical physical phys phys- ical geography of the region They tell of the existence of rivers lakes and seas where now only dry land is found They are indicators of climatic conditions conditions conditions con con- and changes hanges Furthermore they furnish a guide to the construct construction on of a geological chronology But a very small proportion of the plants and animals of any age are preserved as fossils however J t i j t D l' l which Mayor favor f the the- r The conditions r preservation f of terrestrial bodies are exceptional exceptional but a amore more complete record of marine mar mar- ine life is found It has b been en estimated ted that geology may may have the fossil records of a po possible sible twentieth of the marine life of bygone ag ages ages s and certainly not more than a a a th thousandth of the species of terrestrial plants and animals have been so preserved The geological record record while richly illustrated with p pictures and a d materials is confessedly imperfect and fragmental The lecture II The History of of Our Language given by Professor Marshall Marshall Mar Mar- shall last t Tuesday evening was extremely extreme extreme- ly interesting and instructive A good sized audience greeted the lecturer and from the many expressions of pleasure given w we say everybody enjoyed it Following is a short synopsis The language of the most civilized portions of Europe may be classified into three groups groups groups' th the Celtic the Teutonic and the fhe Classical The English language has for its basis Teutonic Teutonic forms forms but it itis itis' itis itis' itis is is' enriched by the adoption of words from both hoth Celtic and Classical tong tongues es The original inhabitants of f Britain were were Celts of whom the Highland Scots the Irish and the Welsh are direct descend descendants The Romans held the Celtic B Britons Britons' t ns in for or nearly four four centuries The Romans withdrew ew leaving but few traces of their language in the language of the natives Such words as II street treet po port t and names of towns ending in in cester are nearly all there are The Celts Celts- were driven out gout of what is isnow isnow isnow now England by the Teutonic Angles Anges and Saxons Saxon From these have descended descend descend- ed the En English lish people These early English adopted but few of the the Celtic words most of these few being obing names The Saxon Anglo-Saxon language was was was' wasen enriched en enriched

of-Norman French w words The French had great influence in making changes in Anglo The dropping gutturals the dropping of endings the changes changes' in pronunciation of vow vowels ls etc are among among the most important changes The Anglo Saxon thus modifies modifies modifies modi modi- fies the English of today Most of of the words added adde since the days days' of Chaucer stand for things

dialect is nearer to the Saxon Anglo than to f the e language of any other existing I-g I English people The Scots are more truly English than the English themselves j. j r Changes are still going on Many words of good usage a few centuries ago have now disappeared The peasantry peasantry peasantry peas peas- antry are more tenacious of language langua e forms forme than the cultivated Many of f th the so-called so grammatical forms often used by modern low-class low English people are forms forms' once in good use long beeh been disused ced by hy the cultured d. d The English is now spoken by more people than any other tongue and its use is still extending May it not virtually virtually virtually vir vir- become the world language At 1 7 p. p m. m Friday Fliday the lecture hall w was s
