In mountain torrents the rumble of bowlders as they clash together may be heard some distance away. It is impossible here to do more than give a few recipes for their production. The one, rich, noble, vigorous, passionate, strong in mechanical ingenuity and experimental skill, but not above the average in theoretical and mathematical power. Shortsightedness among civilised nations, for example, is due partly to the absence of selection and consequent regression towards a mean, and partly to its individual production by constant reading. The remark is just: but although the dimensions of such a crust are, in truth, insignificant when compared to the entire globe, yet they are vast, and of magnificent extent in relation to man, and to the organic beings which people our globe. This theory might also account for the appearance of the nebulous spiral first seen some six months after the original outburst.
