(1) It is geоlоgy: thаt is, the science which explаins tо us the rind of the eаrth; of what it is made; how it has been made. It tells us nothing of the mass of the earth. That is, properly speaking, an astronomical question. If I may be allowed to liken this earth to a fruit, then astronomy will tell us—when it knows—how the fruit grew, and what is inside the fruit. Geology can only tell us at most how its rind, its outer covering, grew, and of what it is composed; a very small part, doubtless, of all that is to be known about this planet. (2) But as it happens, the mere rind of this earth-fruit which has, countless ages since, dropped, as it were, from the Bosom of God, the Eternal Fount of Life—the mere rind of this earth-fruit, I say, is so beautiful and so complex, that it is well worth our awful and reverent study. It has been well said, indeed, that the history of it, which we call geology, would be a magnificent epic poem, were there only any human interest in it; did it deal with creatures more like ourselves than stones, and bones, and the dead relics of plants and beasts. Which statement is a fact?
The excerpt belоw is frоm а 1918 cоokbook encourаging Americаns to conserve wheat. (1) A slice of bread seems like an unimportant thing. (2) One good-sized slice of bread weighs an ounce. (3) It contains almost three-fourths of an ounce of flour. (4) If every one of the country's 20,000,000 homes wastes on the average only one such slice of bread a day, the country is throwing away daily over 14,000,000 ounces of flour—over 875,000 pounds. (5) That amount is enough flour for over a million one-pound loaves a day. (6) For a full year at this rate there would be a waste of over 319,000,000 pounds of flour—1,500,000 barrels—enough flour to make 365,000,000 loaves. (7) As it takes four and one-half bushels of wheat to make a barrel of ordinary flour, this waste would represent the flour from over 7,000,000 bushels of wheat. (8) Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels of wheat on the average are raised per acre. (9) It would take the product of some 470,000 acres just to provide a single slice of bread to be wasted daily in every home. (10) Some say, "a full slice of bread is not wasted in every home." (11) Very well, make it a daily slice for every four or every ten or every thirty homes—make it a weekly or monthly slice in every home—or make the wasted slice thinner. (12) The waste of flour involved was still appalling. (13) Small changes made on a large scale would have made an impact on the amount of wheat used in this country. (14) These are figures compiled by government experts, and they should give pause to every housekeeper who permits a slice of bread to be wasted in her home. Where would the following sentence best be inserted? But some suggest that this is an exaggeration.
