EUROPE SETTLING DOWN.
Not Getting Any Quieter, but the Land
is Slowly Sinking.

Is Slowly Sinking.
Biologists have of late years come
TO the conclusion that the entire cen
trail European plain. which extends
from southwestern France through the
Low Countries and north Germany to
the Russian Baltic provinces. Is slowly
sinking.
The lowest section of this great
coastal region is that part OF Holland
which lies from fifteen TO twenty feet
below sea level and has to be protected
by immense dams and bikes against
the danger of being submerged.
A Dutch engineer named Ten Cate
has studied this subject. and be deals
with Hollands danger at length I'm De
Ingenieur. a Dutch technical paper.
His Investigations go back 1000 years.
and his conclusion is that the Dutch
coastal sinks eight inches In q century.
This does not seem very alarming.
but every little counts in country
which lies naturally so low as the
Dutch coastal provinces. Besides. there
is no justification for assuming that
the settling down process will always
be regular. and q sudden subsistence
would be very grave matter indeed.
Ten Cate proves bis assertions by
pointing 10 the situation of remains Of
Roman settlements in the Low Coun-
tries. which be calculates must now
lie from five TO fifteen feet below their
original level. They were built some
sixteen centuries ago.
A further indication of the lowering
of Hollands level Is the fact that the
low hills or mounds To which as late
as the middle ages people and their
cattle used TO fee for safety ut food
times would not now afford the neces-
sary protection.

is likely, however, that the board will
have to make its reports directly to
congress instead OF 60 the president if
it is retained.
Just now, the board with the 10
persons on it's payroll, is bending every
energy to get the reports on wool and
cotton ready for the beginning of the
next session of congress. In spite of
the filings taken at the board i'm some
quarters. there is no doubt it has un-
dertaken a most comprehensive line of
Investigations. Rapid progress is be-
ing made and the field work in the in
vestigation into raw wool has been
practically finished. Data is now be-
ing tabulated on the cost of produce
tion of raw wool. data is being collect
ed on the cost of wooden manufac-
lures and a study of the cost of cot
ton manufactures is being made in this
country and abroad.
The raw wool investigation began
last November. In this, as i'm other
| Inquiries. schedules were prepared COW
ering the questions to be answered and
the kinds of facts to be ascertained.
This part of the work alone has in
volved much labor, Cost accountants
have co-operated with practical sheep
men i'm the employ of the board in
getting the facts. Professors of sheep
husbandry in some OF the leading agri-
cultural schools have aided in the
work.

and agriculturalist, was sent to Argen-
