FOSSIL GEOGRAPHY
In these days of exploration few
parts o* the j'lobe remaiu unknown
an uncharted, and in our desire for
new lands to conquer we may the
mountains and deserts of the moon
and the canals of .Mars. Within the
last few years, as the work of the
United states Geological Survey has
given geologists a larger knowledge
of the rocks of the United States, a
uew sort of geography has sprung
up—fossil geography. In this new
geography the lands and seas of the
remote past are mapped in their tru
form and by means of these maps
we may follow the development of
the American continent and trace Its
many changes of land and water
from age to age. Why should not
the eeography of the American time
be pf greater interest to us here in
the United States than the present
geography of the moon, or perhaps
even the present geography of the
interior o' Africa? As the natural
wealth of the country is in large
part dependent on the rocks that
make up the crust of the earth, it
is well to know how and when the
rocks were formed it may seem
scarcely possible to map these an
cient lands and seas by studying
handfuls of fossils taken from the
rocks on their sites, but this is
what is being done.
The geologist can trace these ge
ographic changes by noting the ex
tent of successive formations anil
the changes in the character of the
rocks, but the aga and the identity
of a geological formation must be
determined principally by means of
the fossils it contains. The more
exact determination of the ages of
sedimentary formations—the floors
of ancient seas—makes possible,
amon/ other things, the correlation
from place to place of geographic
changes and shows the direction of
invasion or retreat of oceanic waters
Some of the principles used by ge
ologists hi their detailed work in
srtatigraphic eology are set forth
in the United States Geological Sur
vey's Professional Paper 79, "He
current Tropidoleptus zones of the
Upper Devonian in New York," by
H. S. Williams. This paper shows
that groups of auimals, or faunas,
may be driven out of a region by
earth movements or by other caus
es and Uat the same animals, slight
ly modified perhaps, but still to be
recognized, may later return to the
region. A study of the fossils rep
resentee these recurrent faunas
may thus throw light oa geographic
changes.
Opening of Panama Canal Will
Revolutionize Our Trade
By ADAM W. K1RKALDY, Professor of Finance at Eirmingham University.
England
SO far as the outside world is concerned, the greatest effect of the open
ing of the cr.iial will probably be to get commerce and trade out of
the groove and cause an ALL ROUND MODERNIZATION OF
BUSINESS METHODS.
The old will have to be scrapped, friction among the factors of pro
duction will have to be eliminated, and capital and labor in competing
countries will have to learn to work harmoniously together. Socially and
economically this will effect a very great result. Is it WHAT AMER
ICA DREAMED OF when she entered upon this stupendous under
taking?
THE CANAL WILL ADD ENORMOUSLY TO THE COMMERCIAL
FACILITIES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS REGIONS OF THE AMERICAN
CONTINENT AND THE ADJACENT ISLANDS; HENCE IMPORTANT
DEVELOPMENTS MAY BE EXPECTED.
The West India islands will enter upon a new period of prosperity,
especially when the internal combustion engine takes the place of steam
and oil replaces coal. English business and fiscal methods wi!i have a
great effect on making the West Indies important to shipping and tlm?
assist the development of local industries, especially (he export .if raw
material.
The comparatively unprogressive states of CENTRAL AXI> SOUTH
AMERICA WILL UNDERGO REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENTS
owing to increased immigration of Europeans and increased I rade. These
local benefits will be the chief and ample justification for the construction
of the canal v
