SECRETARY LINCOLN is believed to have in his
possession several letters written by his father
during the latters early lite. The Cincinnati
Enquirer is furnished the following written in
1916, by its New York correspondent: 81 have
boy, born the 10th of March. He is very much
such a child as Bob was at his age, rather longer
order. Bob is short and low, and expect al
ways will be. The new. boy talks very plainly,
and Is quite smart enough. l sometimes fear
he Is one of the little rare-ripe sort, that are
smarter at about five than ever after. Since /
began this letter a messenger came to tell me
Bob was lost; but by the time / reached the
house his mother had found him. ard had him
whipped, and BY now very likely lie has run
away again."

The Sinking Of the Earth,s Crust.

Inc extreme senStiveneSS Ofthe earth's crust
to any changes in the distribution of weight
upon its surface Is however. best eXempiihed
by those local dispositions and removals OF mat
ter which have attracted more general atten-
tiOn at the present day. The chief of these is
the transfer Of matter by river action to large
tracts, and its accumulation in such limited
areas as plains, estuaries, and deltas. BOrinrs
of4OO to 500 feet have shown that these often
consist OF long SUGGESTIONS of sits, which alter
mating layers of shells and Of vegetable matter
prove to have been deposited at or near the sea-
level, and the Wealden and eOcene formations
in the British area show that such Accommodations
may exceed 600 feet in thickness In the case
of deltas. subsistence must keep pace almost foot
by foot with the accumulation and be confined
to the area over which the sediment is being
deposited, for any more rapid subsistence
would check its growth and convert it into an
estuary. This sinking Is apparently of uniyer-
sal occurrence. A similar instance of the trans
fer OF weight from larger areas andits precipta-
ton on very circumscribed area is seen in coral
atOls and reefs. The explanation of their for
nation given by Darwin requires gradual sub
sidence keeping pace with their growth, which
takes place within 90 fathoms of the surface
only. This theory. simple and admirable as it
is, accounting satisfactorily tor all the observed
phenomena of coral growth, has been contested
by Mr.. Murray, who has shown that atolls might
this theory seems improbable by contrast,
for it demands 800 volcanic peaks at the sea-
level in the Pacific coral area alone. every
foot Of which has been completely concealed by
coral growth, though few volcanic craters are
known so near the sea-level outside this area.
We seem thus to have in coral growths another
evidence of subsistence keeping pace with the
increase OF weight, sometimes. US soundings
prove. to depth Of LOCO feet or more The
replacement of o column of sea water 100
fathoms in depth. by q column of limestone,
would increase the pressure per fathOm from
6l915 tons to 1.4S7 tons, SO that it is easy to
realize how vast must be the increased pressure
on such an area as that occupied by the great
reef of Australia, $50 miles long and 10 to 80
miles broad. The sands. gravels and CLAWS,
With marine shells and erratic bOuldcrs, prove
that great submcrgence took place during the
glacial period, while Europe was under an ice
sheet 5000 feet thick in Norway and diminishing
to 800 in Central Germany. The extent of the
submergence has been perhaps understated at
600 feet in Scandinavia. and was at least $50
feet in Wales. A corresponding re-elevation
accompanied the disappearance Of the ice 1t
