SEA LEVELS TO BECOME
GREAT SWEEPS OF LAND
View of Scientists Regarding
Changes in the Vicinity of Ber-
ing Straits.

SEATTLE. Wash. July S-Perma-
nent alteration in the climate OF the
Alaskan coast. through shifting of
warm ocean currents by lifting Of the
sea bottom. the opening Of new fishing
banks of unestimated value and the
eventual closing of Boring straits
owing also to rise in the floor of
the sea, are among the scientific proba-
bilities now being investigated as the
result Of the eruption OF Mount Kat
mai a month ago.
Various geological parties and men
from several revenue cutters are ex-
ploring the bottom Of the sea to de-
termine how far submarine geography
has been changed. So far as the
earth's surface Is concerned, the erup-
ton was beneficial, by volcanic ash
having already stimulated plant growth!
Future Of Submerged Mountains.
Biologists assert that the tops of
submerged mountains which form the
Aleutian Island are rising steadily
through pressure on the sea bottom
from enormous amounts Of sediment
and. after eventually cutting of
Bering sea. will continue to rise until
what is now the sea will be replaced
by a great sweep of land.
large number Of government scien-
lists will sail from Seattle Tuesday
for Seward, there to take passage for
Kodiak.
