power over the earth becomes most apparent, and enters into rivalry with natural forces in producing modification. For immense periods it is probable that, on the whole, the amount of natural force at work to effect alterations of the earth's surface has been tolerably uniform in amount; but we who live in regions lying a little way out of the existing lines of maximum disturbance from action of fire, ice, or water, are apt to underrate the work that is going on from day to day. Wonderful is the amount of that work when fairly surveyed, and the time may arrive when fresh changes in the direction of disturbing forces may occur, and our own quiet regions may again be torn by earthquakes, fire-deluged by the volcano, or modified by glacial ice.
