From the Scientific american,
Changes in the Earth's Surface.

1t has been proved that the whole Pa
ci6c coast, especially California, with all its
mountains, is perpetually rising, and that
at comparatively rapid rate. The land
containing 10 its bosom our great Ameri-
can lakes is slowly sinking; while South
ern Indiana, Kentucky and the surround
ing states are rising. Geological investi-
cations prove that our great lakes, EXCEPT
until, by gradual northern depressions and
southern upheavals, northern outlet was
formed from Lake Erie into Ontario. about
10000 years ago. This outlet, the Niaga-
ra river, is still wearing away its channel.
The division line of the water shed south
of the lakes and the Mississippi valley has
since that time been steadily travelling
southwark; and when Chicago recently
turned the waters of Lake Michigan
through the Chicago river, into the Missis-
sirpi valley, the old state of affairs was ar.

We have received the following note
from the Hon. VIM. ID. Kelley; ..-...t
To the Editor ofthe Tribune. 4Ae8 hF
SIR: In your article of yesterday under
the caption of The Assignat PROJECT, in
which my name appears, you say:
The Republican element in the proposed system
10 not less obvious. 1t proposes to do away, once
tor all with the only dollar recognized by the con-
stiution OF the United States viz rs As grains of
gold or standard hneness. certified as to purity and
and weight by the stamp Of the MINT, That relic
pressed,
My copy of the constitution does not
contain the article or section providing for
dollar of the weight you designate. 1t
may be 50 with those belonging to other of
the readers of the Tribune. Will you not
therefore please publish the date of the
edition and the article and section in which
it may be found, and oblige one who is q
constant reader of the Tribune. and yours
very truly, VIM ID. KELLEY.
Philadelphia, July 81, 1875. .s
We have mailed to Judge Kelley's ad-
dress copy of the Tribune Almanac for
1874, containing the Coinage Act of 1878,
and the constitution Of the United States.
Section IA of the Coinage Act specifies the
weight of the dollar, and Section 8, subdi-
vision 5, Of the first article Of the eonstitu-
ton confers on congress the power to es-
tablish and coin the said dollar, For the
further benefit of the Judge we annex a
brief extract from Daniel Webster on
Constitutional Currency"
But what is meant by the constitution
al currency, about which so much is said ?
What species or forms Of currency does the
constitution allow, and what does it forbid ?
1t is plain enough that this depends on
what we understand by currency. Cur.
rency in large, and perhaps in a just
sense, includes not only gold and silver and
bank notes. but bills of exchange also. 1t
may include all that adjusts exchanges
aud settles balances in the operations of
trade and business. But If zoe understand
oy currency the legal money of the country,
and that iohich constitutes A LAWFUL
TENDER FOR DEBTS, and Is THE
STATUTE MEASURE OF VALUE,
then, undoubtedly, is Included but GOLD
AND SILVER. Most unquestionably
there is no legal tender, in this country,
under the authority of this government or
any other, but gold and silver, either the
