Anyone who read of Smith's stupendous task me always re- greta dintotery that will tend to diminish However, the importance of his labours. geclogists will aserre them that the Deluge occurred, so many millions of years before any account of it was written that more 1,000 years amounts to nothing. Other geologists assert that there was no food at all that it occurred acons before there were any human beings upon the earth. and that tho nacions Chaideas and all other accounts of it have absolutely no scientific basis.
