Loss FROM SOIL EROSION.

Investigations by the United States
Geological Survey of the erosion of
numerous drainage basins Of the
United States show that the surface
of the country is being removed at
the average rate of about an inch in
.76O years. Though this amount
seems trivial when spread over the
surface of the country, it becomes
stupendous when considered as a to-
tai, or even in separate drainage ba-
sins. Mississippi River, for instance,
Icarries annually to the sea 136,6O0,-
600 tons of dissolved matter and 34O,
100000 tons of suspended matter, and
of this total Ohio River carries 49,
100000 tons and Missouri River con-
tributes twice as much. Colorado
River, which has built up for itself a
vast delta, brings down more sus-
Ipended matter than any other river
in the United States, delivering an.
nually 3S7 tons for each square mile
of it's drainage basin, or a total of
I1OO,74O,OOO tons. The rivers of the
United States carry to tidewater
every year 27O,OOO,OOO tons of dis
solved matter and 513,OOO,OOO tons OF
suspended matter This total of 1888,
100000 tons represents more than
350,0O0,0OO cubic yards of rock, OF
610,O00,0O0 cubic yards of surface soil

centrated on the Isthmus of Panama

Since we began selling lots in this
land We have learned thing or two:
First: That the real demand is for
moderate size house lots-and in ac-
cordance with our suggestion the own
er has ub-divided; the two large lots
into twelve smaller ones containing
from $4,000 to 10000 square feet; Still
good sized lots!
Second that the lots in this land
come pretty near selling themselves:
The reason? Because the lots are
not remnants nor undesirables left
over after the pick, but are the real
choice locations. This is easily prov
ed by visit to the land. Let us show
