His argument really that the bed Of the River does not
rather elevate because in equal volume the par
ce OF solid matter held III suspension Of less gravity than
the water.
The reverse the fact Proof Take any quantity Of the
water holding the sediment in suspension, in shaped
se! few day s rest will precipate all to the bottom,
leaving the water transparent. Agitation alone keeps in
suspensloH-nOt the pressure Of the weight OF water Many
other peIments perhaps decidedly will prove the same
fact. If the Doctors proposition true, the sediment
would sink when reached the is buoyancy
would continue like that OF dusand the aCCeOn would
