lated this story: He was a prosperous
farmer years ago. He was worth 50.
600, but wanted more of this world :
goods; sold everything and invested in
a farm in Philips county, Kansas. For
D years he managed to get along. The
subsequent years he was wiped out of
every penny he owned. The farm was
mortgaged for every cent it was worth,
and he traded Is horses for that many
tons of coal. Every farthing gone, he
gradually worked himself eastward. and
reached Reading. The mayor gave him
the amount of his railroad fare to Nor
ristown and little addition for food
He expects to raise enough money
among his Montgomery friends to send
for his wife and three children, whom
he left in the west. The unfortunate
man was an object of sympathy as he
stood before the mayor with tears in his
eyes and so overcome with emotion that
he conld hardly speak. He warns Penn
sylyania farmers to remain where they
are and not be allured by false induce
ments to the desert states of the far west.

Britain Slowly Washing Away,

Tho British board of photographers
have made report which is startling
in some of its details. It appears that
after long series Of observations it has
been ascertained that the little Thames
is carrying $4,000, 900 cubic feet Of
British soil into the sea annually. In
order to get an idea of what the above
figures really mean, let us imagine a
huge mass of stone 100 feet in width,
100 feet long and 100 feet high. Then
let us imagine that IA Of these immense
cubes are yearly floated out to sea from
the British mainland. The Thames bas
sin has, however, an area Of 6,160
square miles. The immense amount Of
solid matter alluded to above is taken
grain by grain from this large extent Of
surface, so that it only wears away the
surface Of the basin as a whole at the
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 q 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 IA, 600, 900 cubic feet Of SOL
i'd matter is gathered the basin Of tho
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 the
rate of erosion is so slow and will de-
clare that the head line conveys differ
ent impression. The island il. however,
slowly washing away" for the statis-
tician Of the photographic board says
that it will take $500, 600 years moro
to reduce Britain to the level Of the sea.
