And certainly there is nothing strange in the result. since the law applies with equal force to every animate thing in nature.

The average of " first quality " lumber has run down from 12 per cent. ten years ago to 2 per cent. last year, showing the rapid deterioration of stock which is brought to the mills. The quality of the logs is much poorer than ever before. as many have been put in from land once cut over. and new land has been cleared of everything that will make a cull board. The improvr- dent lumberman. who in the past only cut the choice pine and left the remainder to be devastated by fire, now saws down his trees close to the root to save an axe kerf. scrapes the ground with a fine tooth rake to get every log that will make passable mill culls. and will discharge a foreman that leaves on the ground a log six inches in diameter.â€"Norfhwatern Lumberman. tante ot the land. there had been a vast submergence of land. and a great catac- trophe, aye a stupendous one. in which even the Mediterranean had been altered fromasmall sea to its present size. In illustration of this, the caverns at the pass of Nahr-e'LKelb and at Ant Elias were described in some detail. and also, in con- nection with these, the occurrence of flint implements on the surface of modern sand- stones at the cape or ran near Beyrout; these last were probably of much less anti- quity than those of the more ancient cav- erns. A di-cuesion ensued, which was taken part in by a number of dietinguished fellows of the Royal Society. ,,,,,, _._ '- â€"_ 6"“. wyua' cal features of the region were dnfierent than those of the present day. They were thus of various ages, rarging from the post- glacial or antediluvian period to the time of the Phoenician occupation. Dr. Dawson then remarked that many geologists in these days had an aversion to using the word “ antediluvian," on account of the‘ nature of the work which. in years now gone by. unlearned people had attributed to the flood described in the Scripture. but as the aversion to the use of that word was, he thought. not called for in these days. he hoped it would pass away. Speaking as a geologist. from a purely geological point of View. and from a thorough examination 0! the country around. there was no doubt there was conclusive evidence that between the time of the first occupa- tion of these caves by men ~~and they were men of splendid physiqueâ€"and the appearance of-the early Phoenician inhabi- a.,-AA , “_-â€"--v_ v. uuv wuuu. In dealing with his subject Dr. Dawson remarked that great interest attaches to any remains which. in countries historically so old. may indicate the residence of man before the dawn of history. In Egypt nodules of flint are very abundant in the Eocene limestones. and. where these have been wasted away. remain on the surface. In many places there is good evidence that the flint thus to be found everywhere has been, and still is. used for the manufacture of flakes. knives and other implements. These, as is well known, were used for many purposes by the ancient Egyptians. and in modern times gun-flints and strike- ,ights still continue to be made. The debris of worked flints found on the surface s thus of little value as an indication of any flint-folk preceding the old Egyptians. It would be otherwise if flint implements could be found in the older gravels of the country. Some of these are of Pleistocene age. and belong to a period of partial submergence of the Nile valley. Flint implements had been alleged to befound in these gravels. but there seemed tobe no good evidence to prove that they are other than the chips broken by mechanical violence in the removal of the gravel by torrential action. In the Lebanon numerous caverns exist. These ‘ were divided into two classes, With reference to their origin ; some being water caves or tunnels of subterranean rivers. others eea caves. excavated by the waves when the country was at a lower level than at present.
