Britain Slowly Washing Away.

Inc Brlt1Sl DOard OF hydrograpnefS
have made a report which is startling
in some of its details 1t appears that
after a long series of observations it has
been ascertained that the little Thames
is carrying IA, 600, 600 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 II Of these immense
cubes are yearly foated out to sea from
the British mainland The Thames ba-
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 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 a 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, 600, 900 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 the
rate 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 statis
sioian of the photographic board says

SANTA Rosa, Cal, Dec. 30.-Santa

o'clock IL the morning, but was not dis
covered until about 5 p. m. All this
time County Treasurer Stofen lay on the
floor of the vault gasping fer breath.
fearing every moment during conscious
intervals would be his last. Had it not
been for the timely arrival of his wife.
the only person in town who knew the
combination, he would have been dead.
She had been at Cloverdale and on her
return here, about 4 o'clock, learned
hat the treasurer had net been home to
dinner. The children said that they had
taken his dinner to him and left it in
front of the office, but that they could
not get IN.
Saved by His Wife.
Mrs. Stolen, Suspecting something
wrong, rushed down to the Office, which
is in the south corner Of the courthouse
and adjoining the sheritf's Office. the
door was locked, but with the aid of the
janitor she opened the door. Between
the front part Of the Office and the treas.
urer's front office is a wicket gate. This
also was locked. On going inside Mrs.
Stofen found her fear realized. On one
desk was her husbands coat and hat.
On the floor in confusion were money
trays, on which the treasurer carried
money from the vault, which is in a
rear office, to his desk in the room,
About that time a faint knocking was
heard from inside the vault. Mrs. Stofen
cried out that her husband was in the
vault and that she could save him if she
could remember the combination. The
first time she tried she failed owing to
her great excitement. Next time, real

He Dropped the Trays.
Treasurer Stolen was found on the
floor of the vault unconscious, the safe
door was open and most of the money
removed. Treasurer Stolen, as O as
revived, said he was opening ND the
office as usual about 3 o'clock. AS he
was carrying n of the trays with
money from the vault, a tall man in
stocking feet stepped into the door of
the vault and with uplifted dagger in his
right hand told him to drop the trays,
which he did. AS he stopped to lay the
trays down the robber struck him q
powerful blow on the back of the head
which rendered him unconscious, for
how long he could not tell. He saws the
man was tall and wore chin whiskers
and must have gained admittance to the
office during the night and waited fol-
HIM TO open the safe. Officers are scour-
the country for the robber, but not
a trace has been found.

be shrouded in mystery as yet. The
fire started on the north side of the
barn near the driveway, and not in the

was opened the stable was full of smoke
but not on fire. AS soon as the door
was opened, which caused a draft, the
fire rushed into the stable from the
barn floor. Mr. Stocker gets between
