Mr. Burr explained the | different kinds of rock, sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic and their for- mation. The eastern and western up- lands of Connecticut are of the meta- morphic type and are enormously old, the oldest on the face of the earth.| Speaking of age, we must get away | from time in the ordinary sense and reckon it in geological terms. JIn the great geological changes thr‘ upfolds made mountains, . the down | folds valleys, The geological records | show that by the slow process of time | the original mountains of our Connec- ticut uplands were destroyed and the foldings eradicated. This is one efi- dence of age. Another evidence is when molten rocks hardened quickly and rn-d-| glass as the Obsidian cliffs of - the west, Surface cooled there was no time to crystallize into separate miner- als llke our granite which was cooled far down in the earth and took a long time. 'Mr. Burr explained how our| nountains were once comparable 10| the Alps, while the ocean flowed over the present city of Chicago. He then came back to the story of the red sandstone of the Connecticut valley, how it was slowly formed in layers with mud cracks dried and shrunk, and enormous tracks like ex- aggerated turkey tracks made from the reptile ancestors of our modern birds. Alternately above and below the water, a tidal estuary where great tides came in and out, the red sand- stone of this valley slowly formed. With a volcanic outburst lava welled up and hardened into our trap rock. Mt. Carme is the route of an old volcaro that tore its way up through the szndstone. Mr. Burr spoke of the slow but sure effects of erosion, wind, frost, and all weather conditions that go to change the topography, ending with a briefly graphic account of the glacial epoch in Connecticut which changed the courses of rivers and led to the*for- mation of ponds and waterfalls. Thus the prosperity of New England which depends so much upon water power is an inheritance of the glacial period. . e Miss Justine Traut, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Traut of West Main street entertained several friends at| tea last Sunday afternoon for her sister, Miss Clara Traut, who has been home from Martha Washington College for the holidays. During the afternoon Miss Flora Hine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hine of Maple Hill and Miss Cordella Xil- bourne, daughter of E. O.
