wearing Away of Mother Earth"
is the poetical title of a bulletin Just

our country is being removed at the
average rate of one inch in 760 years.
The Mississippi River carries annually
to the sea 1876, 400, 600 tons of dissolved
matter and 340, 100000 tons of suspend
ed matter, and of this total the Ohio
River contributes S3,35O,0OO tons.
The erosion by all the rivers of the
United States, is put down at grand
total of 7S3, 100000 tons annually. The
bulletin concludes that this erosion, if
concentrated. would dig the Panama
Canal in about seventy-three days.
The Tennessee (Okla.) Clipper in an
article headed, "How to Keep Town
From Improving" says: Gin the first
place, buy everything you need in
some other place. If you have flour
ing mill, send off for all your flour
1t sounds better to have it come from
distance, even if the quality be in
ferior. II you have brickyard, send
off for your brick; it makes man
feel important to ship few car loads
of brick, no matter if he should have
to pay more for them than he would at
home factories" He suggests sending
away for printing, and all groceries
that can be bought in bulk, etc. All
of which will prevent the home mer-
chants from squandering money in
building up their own town.
