/ In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years \
| the Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred  |
| and forty-two miles. Therefore ... in the Old     |
| Silurian Period the Mississippi River was upward  |
| of one million three hundred thousand miles long  |
| ... seven hundred and forty-two years from now    |
| the Mississippi will be only a mile and           |
| three-quarters long. ... There is something       |
| fascinating about science. One gets such          |
| wholesome returns of conjecture out of such a     |
| trifling investment of fact.                      |
|                                                   |
