But \i a planet can grow as a rsun-drop grows, why then — It was a great comfort to these timid folk when Lord Rosse's telescope resolved certain nebulae into star-clusters. Sir John Herschel would have told them that this made little diflerence in accounting for the formation of worlds by aggregation, but at any rate it was a comfort to them.
— ^These people have always been afraid of the astrono- mers, — said the Master. — They were shy, you know, of the Copemican S3r8tem, for a long while ; ...well they might be with an oubliette waiting for them if they ventured to think i82 THE POET AT that the earth moved round the sun. Science settled that pomt finally for them, at length, and then it was all right, — when there was no use in disputing the fact any longer.
By and by geology began turning up fossils that told ex- traordinary stories about the duration of life upon our planet.
What subterfuges were not used to get rid of their evidence !
Think of a man seeing the fossilized skeleton of an animal split out of a quarry, his teeth worn down by mastication, and the remains of food still visible in his interior, and, in order to get rid of a piece of evidence contrary to the traditions he holds to, seriously maintaining that this skeleton never belonged to a living creature, but was created with just these appearances; a make-believe, a sham, a Bamum's- mermaid contrivance to amuse its Creator and impose upon his intelligent children !
