land sink and what causes it, Florida
has good many caves and underground
rivers. AS general thing these caves
are arched over with rock and supported
by huge rock pi lars, but in some places
veins of sand varying in size from few
inches to loo or poo yards in diameter
run through the rock. During the VET
seasons these sand veins get filled with
water, which, pereOlating through,
sometimes, causes tho entire vein TO fall
through. When the vein happens to be
only a few inches or feet in diameter. it
is known as natural well, but when
the vein comprises an acre or two it is
called sink"
