Recent investigations reveal the remark
able fact that the coasts of New Brunswick.
Prince Edwards Island, New Jersey, and q
portion of the eastern Atlantic shore are
gradually uprising; while those Of the Raw
OF Fundy and Greenland are slowly sinking.
Should this phenomena continue for ten
centuries, the map Of the American CONT

different appearance. The, Hudson's lBay
and Jersey shores would become fruitful
valleys with countless inland seas. Where
now the banks Of Newfoundland lie, there
then would be peninsulas connected with
the mainland, as the banks of st. George
are at present: Thepassage from Ireland TO

as far as the bend made by the Gulf Stream

the Bahamas would fuse into larger islands
resembling these Of the West India group.

on being asked why she troubled herself
with such occupations, made the reply that
there was no telling what women might be
called upon to do in this country, or what
fate awaited them, and she believed in in
structing them in useful arts as prepara-
ton for any reverse that might overtake
them.
