OUR COASTAL CITIES
Greedy Atlantic Said to Be Slow
|y Engu|fing Them.
Government GeoIogist Declares 'na'
In Time Coast Cities From Bos'
ton to New Orleans VIII
Be Under Water.

Boston.-The time will come when
that coast line Of the United States
which boasts such cities as New YORK
Boston, Baltimore, Washington and
Galveston will be 800 miles out to sea
and those cities will have been SUD-
merged. The whole Atlantic coast IS
slowly sinking into the ocean. so rap
id Is the sinking that evidences OF II
and measurements Of it within the last
decade are now to be had. That the
rate of the sinking is being accel'
Grated, and that it may be much 1ast'
er in the future than it has been IN
the past is the claim made by Z. A.
Davis, government geologist, who has
Of late been piling up masses OF e'''
dence in this connection.
He holds that there is no need on
the part of the residents of the coast
cities to scramble to the housetops
today or tomorrow. But, as sure as
the geologic tendencies which have
gone on unchanged for hundreds OF
thousands of years and are now at
work continue, the people of the ma
TONS great eastern cities will be grad
ually pulled beneath the water level.
Biologists have long recognized the
fact that the Atlantic coast line was
once much farther out than it is now.
There is a line from 100 to 300 miles
of the present coast at which the wa
ter suddenly gets much deeper. Out
to that distance the water is generally
some 300 feet deep. Then 1t plunges
suddenly and becomes ten times as
far to the ocean bottom. The men of
the coast survey have traced this line
throughout the length of our coast line
and find it similar all along. The ge-
ologists say that the continent once
reached out this far and that here was
the coast line. But a gradual de.
cline through the ages has caused that
line to retreat until now it is where
We know it.
From a geological standpoint this
has happened in comparatively recent
times. 1t has all been done since the

A Woman's Letter.

Women, 1t is generally admitted.
write better letters than men.
M. Marcel Provost has discovered
the reason for this superiority. The
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into a woman's letter.
There is always a yelled meaning
woman makes use Of letter lust
as she employs glance or a smile.
IN way that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect. And. after
all, does a woman's hat serve to cover
her head? Does woman's parasol
keep on the sun? Why, then, should
a woman's letter serve to. convex her
reat thoughts to the person addressed.

neglected. They have not been taught to use
their teeth. When we bolt our food we ignore
one OF the most important ferments, ptyalin,
IN our saliva, that has much to do. in the
process Of digestion. But the American habit
Is TO spit, and Americans are the greatest spit

This habit Is usually acquired during the early
years OF childhood and carried on during ones
whole life.
1t should be the duty Of all parents to make
their children eat slowly and chew their food
properly. Nature has placed these teeth in
our mouth for purpose, a very valuable pur-
pose, too. and If we neglect to properly use
them we are inviting conditions that seriously
threaten our health and general welfare.
