A writer in the Scientific American eava

ca fact, the ancient shores being several
thousand feet from the present waters

west coast Of Europe, Holland, Belgium,
and France are in sinking condition.
The evidences in and around the British
Channel have long since proved the prob
ability of this, while the astronomer royal
has announced that minute observations
proved that Greenwich Observatory, with

has been sinking ever since its establish

In regard to our continent, it has hecn
proved that the whole Pacific coast. espcc.

perpetually rising, and that d. a cor para

IFS bosom Our great American lakes is
slowly sinking; while Southern Indiana,
Kentucky, and the surrounding States are
rising. Geological Investigations prove
that our great lakes, except Ont.rio, had
formerly southern outlet: until, hy grad

hcavals, a anorthcrn outlet was formed from
Lake Erie into Ontario, about &C, 900 years

The coast of Texas IS ascending at a COM
