lems, but there is interesting and valuable work to 
be done where no hills or crags appear, and the 
ground for miles is as level as a billiard-table. You 
can ascertain why the ground is so level, determine 
the origin of the soil, find out from borings and 
cuttings what rocks lie below the soil. Moreover, 
you can hunt for fossils, and determine the relation 
of the deposits of your district to those of other 
districts which show different features. In fact, 
there is unlimited work to be done everywhere. 
What interesting companions you will be when 
you can tell your chums and grown-up friends all 
about the geology of your district, and what pleasure 
you will have on your walks at home and abroad 
when you can take an intelligent interest in the rocks 
and the ground over which you walk! Make Nature 
yield some of her buried secrets. Maybe you will 
some day enrich the world with the fruits of a great 
discovery.
