ATLANTIC COAST SINKING.
Facts Shown by Recent Geological OF
servations.

From the Engineering and Mining Jounal
The slow sinking of the Atlantic coast
is a fact we'll known to American geolo-
eists. but the definite measurements of
the rate of that subsistence Is a matter of
scientific interest. AS long ago as 1868
the late Prof George H. Cook, state ge-
ologist of New Jersey. investigated this
matter very fully, collecting numerous
observations indicative of the encroach-
ment of the sea on the New Jersey shore.
Later investigations made by the United
States geological survey have demon
strated that this Is no local occurrence.
but a condition characteristic of the en-
tire Atlantic seaboard.
In other parts Of the world similar OBJ
servations have been made. Along the
eastern coast of England the sinking Of
the land relative to sea level has been
serious matter during recorded history;
villages lie buried under the salt marshes
Ind the waves now sweep over sub
merged forests. On the other side of the
North sea the Norwegian coast Is rising
rapidly; that is, geologically speaking.
Observations show that the Scandinavian
coasts are being elevated at mean rate
of 25 feet per century; the maximum
rate at the North Cape being nearly
twice as much. The Pacific side of South
America Is rising rapidly. Charles OAR

of human handiwork were found buried
among marine shell deposits at a height
OF eighty-f1ve feet above tidewater
Such observations as these, usually dis
regarded by the non-scientifc become i'm
pressive to the average man when he finds
by the evidence of landmarks that the
ground under his feet is very unstable. 1t
brings home the great facts which underlie
the study of geology. and suggests that
even the apparently catastrophe events of
geologic history as written on the pages of
rock and stone. are the result Of quiet
forces acting with that unwearied patience
which hardens the ruby in a million
years" When Sir Charles Lyell saw the
stupendous folds and diversions of strata
which characterize the Swiss Alps. he re-
marked that all such apparently violent
results might well have taken place without
any interruption OF the habitable state of
these mountains had man been then in ex-
istence, which he was not. Considerations
such as these enlarge the imagination and
serve, as astronomy does, to illustrate the
poetry which lies often buried deep in dust
amid the dry pages of science.

RACING INCREASES.
In Many Respects Season Now Closing

From Golfers Weekly
The rare wealth of speed and courage
shown by the premier thoroughbreds en-

of struggles and the increasing tide Of pub
lie interest make the racing season now
closing the most notable in American turf
annals. Last year the sporting patronage

New York alone, and for 1903 this impress
sive economic waste will be increased by
at least 20 per cent. while nearly 50, 100000
in purses have been competed for on New
York tracks since June. An average
of half million dollars day has flooded
into the betting rings and pool rooms in
this time.
This year has been remarkable also in the
growth of active interest among not only a
reputable but prominent part of the
solid community, which follows the eX-
ample of such men as William G. Whitney,
August Belmont and James r. Keene. Mt
Whitney, who chose this path of recrea ton
when he retired from active business. has
again failed to capture one important event,

DRILLING A ROCK,
Exhibition of Rhythmic and Unerring
Surety Of Motion.

From the LEVEL Citizen
For rhythmic and unerring surety of mo-
ton. commend me to three sturdy fellows
boring q hole in a piece of rock. Maybe
you have never watched ledgemen drilling
rock, so that you cannot exactly realize the
physical skill necessary to do this thing
the long practice of hand and eye required
for 1t.
One man sits upon the rock which is be-
ing drilled, and holds with his hands. be-
tween his knees the drill which is to pierce
the rock. Two companions stand above
him and relentlessly raise and let fall their
heavy hammers upon the drills head, at a
hairs breadth from his fingers.
A deviation of a fraction Of an inch
would mean a broken wrist or a manned
hand to this man. He does not seem to
crashing through the air over his very
head Before each stroke of the hammer
descends he has to turn the drill in the
hole, SO that the stroke will not bear twice
in the same place. for the hole must be
bored round in order to insert the dyna-
mite stick. The perfect accord, the perfect
rhythm of the motions of the three has a
fascination.
Were they machines these men could not
keep stricter time in this unending turning
Of the drill under the ceaseless falling
blows. 1t is music, rude and primeval If
you will, but music to an ear alive to mll-
steal tempo and rhythm. Who knows but
1t was this harmony of successive falling
blows, of measured. repeated blows upon
resounding stone which first awoke priu-
eval man to the musical value of sounds re-
iterated at stated and fixed interyaIs7
thought these things as I listened to the
fawless tempo and rhythm achieved by my
three ledgmen, tempo and rhythm seldom

MONOGAMY IN TURKEY.
For Financial and Social Reasons It is
on the Increase.
From the Century

From me century.
Although of late years. among Turks
highly placed. it has come to be considered
as far more chic to have only one wife, yet
this laudable increase in the practice of
monogamy does not tend to complete
characterization from certain Well-eStablshed
Moslem traditions. The mention of ones
wife to a foreigner is nowadays made the
easier when one may truthfully speak of
her in the singular number. A Turk ms y,
after some months of semi-intimacy, talk
somewhat freely. indeed. of his domestic
life, provided always his household is mod
eed after the European plan of life. The
social line is drawn at the point of asking
even a lady to call Frequent visiting be-
tween European and Turkish wives, when
these are in the singular number, is possible
only after somewhat prolonged residence
and much friendly intercourse.
To the casual visitor there is an uneX-
pected embarrassment in finding almost all
the Turks one meets in society married to
one lady only. The singularity of this sim
glenesS is as trying. apparently, to the
Turks. on certain occasions. it is emf
nently disappointing to the European.
Il do so hope the minister of - may
grant me the honor of visiting his harem,
an American lady remarks with the charm
ing aplomb characteristic of the American
woman.
''F- Pasha would be too delighted
am sure; only, as it happens, his excellency
has no harem in the sense in which, l pre-
sumo, most foreigners understand our
word,' was the courteous reply of the mi
nor official to whom this remark was ad-
dressed. He has but one wife. as, indeed,
we mostly all have"
Hasn't any one harem?" The cry was
almost fearful. "F- Pasha has a great

ed investigator of Turkish customs.
Eyes. he has eleven children living. His
wife is very fond of children
rs she Turkish?"
good family"
"Ah-h. a Circassianl She must be very
beautiful; the boys are so handsome" the
pretty American remarked in a Modified
tone. From a romantic travellers point of
view. if Turks persist in marrying as vir-
tuousy and duly as every one else, at
least to find them marrying a Circassian
slave was trife solacing than to
have found the single wife of correct Turk
ish descent
The young aid-de-camp smiled as he made
answer: Yes. you are quite right; we most
ly marry Circassians. and almost all our
children are beautiful"
There are still enough haremS throughout
Turkey sufficiently equipped with a plurali-
ty of wives to Salty the most eXacting of
travellers in search of Sation. Even in
Constantinople there are pashas and eff
fends rich enough to keep up the old stand

tice, at least outwardly. the European fash
