Gardinat Petrus de Alinco, who wrote, in the beginning of the fifteenth century, the “Imago Mundl,”® professing to give a true pleture of the world, adopted the old theory that the ocesn occupled very Jittlo apace in the world. Roger acon, in “Opis Majus,? took the same view, Pompontus Mela and Ptolemy elaborated the olld carth theory, although they had before them a story of a Pheniclan voyage around Africa in the sixth century before Christ. ‘The Idea always extensively prevalled ancient- Jy that Africa swept eastward, joined Indin at some distant point, and {nclosed the Indiv Ovcan, ‘There wasasimilar conception as to the terra fuvogaitn of the West.

We propose to show that not only have continents been swept out of oxistence within the period of iman’s ovctpancy + of the earth, but that men and celtics have been blotted out with them: that not only hayo contincnta disappeared, but they have been made and sre in proceas of formation every day, insuring changes of the contigura- tlon of the Jand of the very highest importance.

In 1881 an island, since called Grahom’s Jeland, sprang from the bed of the Mediterranean, be- tween Siclly and the site of ancient Carthage, ‘The {sland is now but a sunken reef, Another island, ag recently a3 1860, rose from the bottom of the Grecian Archipelazy, before the very eyes of the American Consul, Mr. Caulileld, bearing upon its ellvery back. stone houses and fragments of wrecks that bad been sunken in the little harbor of Santorin, A hundred and sixty-six years before our era the Island of Hyera rose, “It was Hfted succeasively higher by earthquake-throbs in the years 19, 720, and 1477, ‘The entire chaln of the ‘Aloutian Isinnds, ranging across the North Paelfle from Alaska to Kamtschatka, fe but a series of the yestiges of an ancient ridge of land now worn out, but originally raleed by tho power of volcanfe tres whizh aro even to-day smoldering bencath the bed of the sew.” ‘These instances prove the continued activity of-the forces a¢ work in the bowels of the earth toclovate, submerze, and resurrect land.
