looks like great forest which has

the old trees remaining. One who
makes so bold as to follow the re-
treating waves finds that this is, in
fact, forest of old tree stumps still
remaining intact on the floor OF the
ocean.
1t has been found from Maine to
Florida that at level of from ten to
twenty feet down there was originally
the bed of forest Stumps of great
trees still In a reasonable state of
preservation are found at these depths.
