Mark TWain's Scientific Calcula-
tons.

Mark Twain, in the August Atlantic
mourms over the diminished length Of
he Mississippi in this strain:
Therefore. the Mississippi between
Cair" and New Orleans was twelve
hundred and fifteen miles long one hun
bred and soEcnty->iH wears ago. twas
eleven hundred and eighty after the
cutoff OF l722. 1t was one thousand
and forty after the American bend cut
oil (SumG sixteen or seventeen Years
2Eo.l 1t has lost sixty-scyen miles
since. Consequently its length is only
nine hundred and s~eventy-threc miles at
present.
Now, if | wanted to be n of those
uondcrous scientific people, and .'lut
IN - prove what had occurred in Il
Giycn time in tie recent past, or what
will occur in The far future by what has
DcCurvcd III late Years, what an oppor-
tumitv Is here. Geology never had such
/ chance. nor such exact data to arrun
from, Nor development of species
either, Glacial cpoch> are strange
,hiu@S. but they are vague. Please Oh
serve:
IN the space Of one hundred and sev-
ontV-~iX years the lower Mississippi has
shortened Itself two hundred and forty
two miles. That is an average of 4 tri-
fio over Il mile and Il third per year.
Therefore, any calm person Who is not
blind Of idio';r, a see that in the old
D"litic Siiug:au period, Just 4 million
Years a-o mex November, the lower
Mississippi river "a upwards q one
nillioN three hundred thousand miles

Mexico like I fishing rod. And by the
same token any person 4 see that
even hundred and tortE-two Years from
now the lover Mississippi will be only
4 milo and three quarters long, and Cal

-neir streets together, and be Flooding
comfortably along under Il single mayor
and 4 mutual board OF aldermen. There
