...stereopticon views that the great truth revealed by a study of this canon is the vast amount of time during which the earth has been undergoing processes of formation and transformation. Professor Davis first stated that the canon as it exists today has been carved out of solid rock by the erosion of water and the elements. He then proved that not only has this work been going on for ages past but also that incomparably longer there have been at work a wonderful succession of agencies building up and tearing down the very rock out of which the canon...
...caused by a light deposit of hoar frost. The observations bore him out, showing by the most accurate kind of micrometic measurements that the spot had increased during the time the moon was obscured. That the spot is a deposit of hoar frost and not light reflected from rock is shown by the fact of its enlargement and increase of light. If the spot were stone virtually no light would have been reflected when the earth's shadow fell upon the moon...
...number of very important facts were determined in regard to it. The most notable of these concerned the two movements by which the 3000 or more feet of dislocations were produced along this great fault line. It was thoroughly demonstrated that after a vertical movement of the rock for about 2000 feet, the irregularity of surface thus produced was almost obliterated through long wearing away by water. Then extensive lava flows were spread over the rock. At a later and relatively recent time movement on the fault line took place again so that the eastern part of these lava flows...

The most characteristic features of the views are the very numerous glacial ponds, the narrow, open valleys, the small rock-broken hills and the broad level salt marshes. Beautiful views are to be obtained along the coast at all seasons of the year. No better illustration of sand beach with its rollers can be found than Revere Beach, easily accessible by the narrow gauge railway from Boston. Here in winter, after...
