FROM the London Telegraph.
If England and France are not ALWAYS at
one now, there was a time when they were
physically united, according TO a map
shown by Prof. Edward Hull at the Royal
Geographical Society, where he read a
paper yesterday on the 'Sub-Oceanic Feat
Among these features he described a deep
canon or river course in the center of the
English channel running from the Straits
OF Dover westward for a distance of sey-
enty miles, known as "Hurd's Deep" Com
mander Hurd having discovered it while
making soundings for the admiralty, This
gorge has depth of POO to 30 feet below
by the force of the waters of the English
channel as they rose and fell. Very curious
features were observed in the case of the
Adour IN France. The ravine through
which it flowed a some ancient date was
d1scoverab Bile for distance of sixty or sey-
enty miles from the coast, and about fifty
miles OUT 1t divided, forming, as it We're
an island, 5000 feet down under the sea
level. At one time there must have been
some magnificent cascades in these gorges,
as the declines in their courses amounted
10 as much as thousand feet in a mile
Undoubtedly at one time the land extended
far out INTO what is now the sea and was
several thousand feet higher than it is
today but the action of the water had
worn the earth away. In the Bay of Bis
stack aoO fathoms below the surface of the
sea, measuring on the land side 1890 feet.
and on the other side 1880 feet from crown
to base.
