of Chesapeake Bay made by the Uni ted States Coast and Geodetic Survey,
 one i'm 1347-4s and a second over half a. century later, in 1900-01. A third supplementary topographic survey of a part of the area studied was made in 1910 by the author of the report, J. Fred Hunter, together with c. C. Yates of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. The results of the work are of unusua4 in- terest because they give accurate rate of erosion and Sed1Tnentatton in a. representative area of the bay. The
 most interesting feature of the study is the rapid destruction of the three islands at the mouth of the Choptank River. Of these, Sharps Island, which and a favorite hunting ground, besides supporting a number of families throughout the year. is today deserted and almost barren of life Its 43S acres Of 1S4S had dwindled to 91 by 1900. while at the time of the most recent survey. in 1910, the island con- tained but 53 acres, it's north shore having suffered the phenomenal loss of 11o feet a year during the period from 1900 to 1e10.s Calculations by MT. Hunter indicate that the island will be entirely effaoed before 1850. James Island, which lies south of Sharps Island, decreased in size from 916 acres in 1s4S to 490 acres in 191os while to the north Ti1ghman Island. which supports many prosperous farmers and fishermen, was reduced from 2,015 acres in 1847 to 1,686 acres in 1900, and is now surrendering ap- proximately six acres each year to the seas. On Sharps Island the site of an artesian well has been transgressed by the waves so that 1t now presents the unique feature of a well located in the bay. The May of 1901 showed that the only remainder of the north end of James Island of 1S48 was a small island situated on the spot which was formerly an arm of an inlet but which later became filled with marsh material That the water in the midst of land in 1s4S should become land in the midst of water in 1901 is are. markable result of the greater resist7s ance of the rnarsh-built land.
 Practically all the erosion has been on the west and north sides of the islands, which are most open to the attack of the southerly bay currents and the westerly winds and their waves No building up of land is going on within the area studied, although farther south extensive delta deposits are being laid down

womanliness and it's opportunities tend to rise?'
 franchise agitation, the demand for increased socc1pationaI facilities. for wider domestic horizon or for entire freedom from domestic duties-all these are only superficial expressions of something deeper Oliver schTeip- struggle and consequent suffering which undoubtedly exist when we regard the world of sexual relations and ideals" But the most significant utterance comes from an American so- ciologist of strong feminist sympathies, MT Thomas, who says; Modern won- angis in a condition of constraint and unrest, which produces organic ravages for which no luxury can com pensate, The American woman of the better classes has superior rights and no duties, and yet she is worrying herself to death-not over specific trou- b1es but because shes has lost her connection with feality.s'
 The essential truth of this statement is borne out by an accumulated weight of feminist evidence In contact with the facts of nature. the truths of lfe. feminist philosophy breaks down ut terly, or lands us in a QuaErnire Of ab- suraities like Mrs. Gi1mans picture of the home of the future, in which father and mother are equally con ceI1ied N11 uiAcoAAS e1 tA E oiilS sOlA ueA1Ay to their work and returning at night to find the house has been slilfu1Iy dealt with by s'experts'' while the baby has spent an improving day Tn the communal nursery. Everyone knows such homes, but no one, before Mrs Gilman had venured to think them ideal Before the elennentar ry facts of maternity and woman's phy- sfological needs such a vision fades at once or remains only as a sshorrid warning of wla ferninists mean by sssex equality But, apart from such unattractive Utopias, feminist litera- ture offers little to women as a soIu- tion of their difficulties. It will be seen that all these dihfculties-the edu- cational. social or economic lead back to the. starting-point of ssociety-the relationship of the sexes.

Waves and Currents in Chesapeake Bay Cut Away Many Acres
 Annually.

So accustomed have we become to false rumors of the disappearance of islands or the sinking of portions of seacoast,. at the time of earthquakes or volcanic disturbances, that we are tn- e1ined to regard all reports of such phenomena with skepticisrn. That eer- tain islands and headIands in Chesa- peake Bay are being destroyed at a startling rate, not by any catastrophe force of nature but by the ordinary action of waves and currents, is dem onstrated in a short report just pub lished by the United States Geological Survey, Erosion and Sedimentation in Chesapeake Bay around the Mouth of Choptank River

Social changes re quire adaptation on the part of both sexes What is striking to an ob- server. is the reflection hat, while men seem to be fitting in fairly corufortab- ly to the conditions of modern life, seeking and finding careers over seas when no opening presents itself at home growing steadier and more so- Der to meet the demands of demo- cratic society. women on the com more at issue with their environment- The adaptability of the collega-bred man in the colonies is a good ilIus- tration He has been brought up as softly as his sister. yet whereas he' can cheerfu1ly start life again at the. bottom of the social ladder bEl clean ing pigsties or ploughirg helds, she can seldom face either the physical strain or the mental isolation involv- ed by pioneer fife.

 CT. whatever Sboons higher education has brought to women 1t does not seem Ito give them that elasticity of mind and body and that deftness Of hand which make the truly adaptable per- son. Nor. if feminist writerz are to be believed, has it brought them hap- piness? The despised victorian worn- an, if ones reconections of her as an old lady are to be trusted, found a spiritual satisfaction in life which many of hsr grand daughters seem to miss
 There Is no need to elaborate the subject of the present discontent of women The suffrage agitat ton is its keenest witness If we listen to the arguments of sumragists, it is obvious that their emotion is altogether out of proportion to the grievance they advance They fasten, 1t is true, upon the most terrible features of woman s worker; but 1t is frequently obvious that they know nothing of either and that they have no clear idea of the remedies they would themselves apply to these evils A passion of pity for their sex surges through them, for they choose to regard both classes of women as victims to mans cruelty
 But beyond this vicarious suffering they have dimcu1ty in explaining exactly what is wrong with them, and yet their faces ere witnesses to mental distress of no slight order The banner Of revolt against man has enlisted many women who have never received anything but Kindness and consideration. and attracts today many young girls who know nothing of so- cia1 evils or sweated workers. tsv7 7y, = z asks pr Taylor ssvvlien the young girls mind opens out to the woman lys does a feeling discontent with
