The writings of John Burroughs . ods of the fore-world.Like an atom, like a breath of to-day, we weresuddenly confronted by abysmal geologic time, —the eternities past and the eternities to come. Theenormous cleavage of the rocks, the appalling cracksand fissures, the rent boulders, the smitten granitefloors, gave one a new sense of the power of heatand frost. In one place we noticed several deepparallel grooves, made by the old glaciers. In thedepressions on the summit there was a hard, black, peaty-like soil that looked indescribably ancient andunfamiliar. Out of this mould, which might havecome from the moon or the interplanetary spaces, were growing mountain cranberries and blueberriesor huckleberries.

Nearly a dozen lakesand ponds could be seen, and in a clearer atmos-phere the foot of Moosehead Lake would have beenvisible.
