LIQUID fuel which will replace gasoline

Land Erosion Stupendous.

The surface of the United States Is be-
ing removed at the rate of thirteen ten
thousandths of an inch a year, or inch
in 76O years, according to the United
States Geological survey. Though this
amount seems trivial when spread over
the surface OF the country, it becomes
stupendous when considered as total,
for over 27O,OOO, 900 tons of dissolved
matter and sis, 200, 900 tons OF suspended
matter are transported to tidewater
every year by the streams of the United
States. This total of 1888, 0O0,0 600 tons
represents more than $50, 100000 cubic
Yards of rock substance, or 8lO,OOO,OOO
cubic yards of surface soil. 1t this eros
i've action had been concentrated upon
the Isthmus of Panama at the time OF
American occupation, it would have ex.
cavated the prism for an S5'foot level
canal in about 70 days.
The amounts removed from different
drainage basins show interesting com,
parsons. In respect to dissolved mat ter,
the southern Pacific basin heads the list
with III tons per square mile per year,
the northern Atlantic basin being next
with 1870 tons. The rate for the Hudson
Bay basin, rs tons is lowest; that for the
Colorado and western Gulf of Mexico ID
somewhat higher. The denudation esti-
mates tor the southern Atlantic basin
correspond very closely to those for the
entire United States. The amounts are
generally lowest for streams 10 the arid
and semi-arid regions, because large areas
there contribute little or nothing 10 tht
ruu-off. The southern Pacific basin il
an important exception to this general
rule, presumably because of the exten
sive practice of irrigation in that area
The amounts are highest in regions OF
high rainfall, though usually the waters
in those sections are not so highly min
eralized as the waters of streams in arid
regions.
