DISAPPEARING ISLANDS.


So accustomed have we become to
false rumors of the disappearance of
islands or the sinking of portions of
a seacoast, at the time of earthquakes
or volcanic disturbances, that we are
inclined to regard all reports of such
phenomena with skepticism. That
certain islands and headlands in
Chesapeake Bay are being destroyed
at startling rate, not by any catas-
trophic force of nature but by the or
binary action of waves and currents,
is demonstrated in a short report just
published by the. United States Geo
logical Survey, Erosion and Sedi-
mentation in Chesapeake Bay around
the Mouth of Chotank River"
This report is the result of a COM
parison of a portion of two separate
topographic and photographic surveys
of Chesapeake Bay made by the Uni
ted States Coast and Geodetic Survey,
one in 1S48-4S and a second over half
century later, in 1900-1901. A third
supplementary topographic survey of
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 Sur
vey. The results of the work are of
unusual interest because they give ac-
curate quantitative data on the
amount and rate of eroism and sedi-
mentation in representative area of
the bay. The most interesting feature
of the study is the rapid destruction
of the three islands at the mouth OF
Chotank River. OF these, Sharps Is

summer resort and a favorite hunt
ing ground, besides supporting a num-
Der of families throughout the year

loss of 10 feet a year
during the period from 1900 to 1910 |

that the island will be entirely effaced |
before 1850. James Island, which lies |
south of Sharps Island, decreased in |
size from 976 acres in 1848 to 400 |
acres in 1910, while to the north Til |

While, of course, he expected to

He began by railing at women, and
certainly he did say some bitter things
about them.

"You really mean that you are hurt

the effronery to tell you she was
happily married to better man than
you are"
You certainly have way Of say
ing what you mean without a diplo-
matte gush," he said rather ruefully,
but it really is an interesting thing
for me to meet a woman like you
particularly when she is the wife of
one of my friends"
What difference does that make,
pray?"
Bill Tenney had the grace to blush
and he stammered little when he
said: ''Wen, you see, even if had the
inclination to take a sentimental in
terest in you would not do so on
account of Dick"

nerve of that man! Did he think he
had only to ask favors of any wo-
man?
Then looked at him and laughed.

for could see that for one of the few
times in his life Bill Tenney was try

time in his life he was probably telling
the truth to a woman, and it was a
new and not altogether unpleasing
sensation to him.
What are you laughing at?" he
asked.
'You, of course" answered. You
are certainly the funniest thing that

to ask Dick to come over to the club

This, then, was where Dicks money
went.

comes I'll tell him.
Something in the tone of my voice
seemed to make him think that per-
haps he had said the wrong thing
again.
You don't care if Dick plays a
little game of cards, Mrs. Waverly?"
he asked.

Judqe Henshaw Tells Why Oil Hear

George A. Henshaw has answered
the Muskogee Phoenix in a state
mcnt of his reasons for pOstponing

las taken the lead in the oil and
pipe line matters and he is today
rendering this state a most valuable
service. In his answer to the news
paper he states there are several
reasons why the hearing was con
t.nucd He is waiting for a report
from the Commerce and Labor De
partment on relative values of dif-
fercnt oils in Oklahoma Illinois and
Pennsylvania under resolutions intro
duCed in the United States senate

ton field by the department of cor

secretary OF the interior. he is wait
ing to see what congress does with
reference to diNorcing production
from pipe lines and making pipe
lines strictly common carriers with
cut any other interests. The produ-
GERS nor the pipe line people, said
Judge Henshaw, are ready to proceed
az this time and both have indicated
to the commission orally and by tel
cgrams that the case should be con
tnued until further data could be
collected THE fixing of prices -
continued Judge Henshaw in his
statement. "of q commodity is an
innovation so far as the judiciary
o. the country is concerned. The
commission will take no action eX-
ccpt upon the fullest investigation.
That prices are now fixed arbitrarily
by pipe lines and no contract rela-
tiCns exist is the conclusion of honest
men. That the Magnolia Pipe Line
| Company intended to steal the Ard
more field is the belief of independ
ent producers of that field. Cush
ing oil is practically as good as

is undoubtedly as good as the aver
age Oklahoma oil. 1t is not proper

that may be drawn from information
