of its dying light.
Our world, geologically considered, is a
dying one, and the erergy of its internal
heat is nearly spent : but it is not quite dead
and now and then it elves evidence of still
great forces pent up within it by spasmodic
and violent volcanic and seismic outbursts,
such as that which overwhelmed Pompeii
nnd Herculeneum long years ago and St.
Pierre to-day.
