Britain slowly washing Away.

The British board Of photographers
have made a report which is startling
in some Of its details. 1t appears that
after a long series of observations il has
been aSccrtainod that the little Thames
is carrying 1900, 600 cubic feet of
British soil into the sea annually. IN
order to get an idea Of what tho above
figures really mean, let us imagine u
hugo mass Of stone 90 feet in width.
100 feet long and 100 feet high. Then
let Us imagine that ii of these immense
cubes are yearly foated out to sea from
the British mainland. Tho Thames ba-
sin has, however, an area of @, 100
square miles. The immense amount Of
solid matter alluded TO above is taken
grain by grain from this large extent Of
surface, 50 that il only wears away the
surface Of the basin as whole at tho
rate Of one-eight hundredth part Of an
inch each year. At the rate Of wear and
tear mentioned in the opening para
graph of this article one would natural
ly suppose that within few hundred
years the whole Of the main British isle
would be deposited at the bottom Of the
ocean, but owing to the vast area from
which that II, 900, 600 cubic feet Of SOL
id matter is gathered the basin Of the
Thames has only been lowered one sim
gle inch since the Norman conquest
Some of the readers Of this will no
doubt be disappointed to find that tho
ratio Of erosion is so slow and will de-
clare that the head line conveys differ
ent impression. The island is. however,
Slowly washing away" for the Stats
tician Of the photographic board says
that il will take 3, 500, 600 years moro
TO reduce Britain to the level Of the sea

Fly Catchers.

\ gentleman who went into the woods
region on hunting excursion and put
up at farmhouse in remote clearing
was annoyed during the daytime with
the abundance of flies that found access
TO the house, But when twilight Of
evening came he was treated 10 an exhi
bition Of fly catching that more than re-
paid him for his vexation. The windows
were opened as the darkness settled
down, and the hostess tallow dip only
partially dispelled the gloom in the old
fashioned kitchen, when he suddenly
became aware of odd creatures darting
10 and fro in the room, often coming al
most into his face, while queer little
noise Of snip snip, snip, " seemed to
follow their velvety fluttering motions.
For an instant he was startled, not
knowing what TO make Of such intrud
cts.
Its only the bats, said the lady
quietly as she pursued her work. They

snip of their wings: There'll be hun
drcds of fly wings on the floor here in
the morning.
The gentleman arose early and looked
for the wings, and sure enough the floor
and tables were Uttered with them. -
