THROWS NEW LIGHT ON
LONG ISLAND REGION
Myron L. Fuller9s Report to Federal
Bureau Adds Geological
Facts.

OF course Long Island wasn't always
where it Is. nor, for that matter, was
the North American continent or any 9TH
er body of land. But is Long Islands
age equal to that OF the territory now
comprising the United States? Not ac-
cording to report on its geology by
Myron L. Fuller just issued by the Unit
ed States geological survey. 1t was aft
erthought. an addition built up in the
ocean by the great ice sheet that covered
North America during the acial epoch,
and the material used was scraped off
the continent proper by the advancing ice
and pushed along until it was deposited
at the edge of the ice field in what is
called terminal moraine.
Many biologists have studied Long Is
land, but the extensive Investigations of
Mr. Full er throw a flood of new light on
the region. According to him, the peculiar
method of deposit of the material that
forms the big body of land developed

regular aggregation of hummocks and
hollows which have produced the beau
iful details of configuration that make
the is and's higher parts SO attractive
The most notable of the holows is the
one holding picturesque Lake Ronkon-
koma.
Hudson Rivers Channel.
Mr.. Fuller's report also devotes consid-
cradle attention to the character and
origin of the deep submarine channel of
the Hudson river, extending far out into
the ocean.
In spite Of the comparative youth of the
big island, says the report its geological
history Is the story of vast lapse of
time. but many of its details are indi-
Gated by striking evidence in the rela-
tons Of great variety of deposits and
diversity Of contiguration.
The older rocks of Long Island consist
of the granite floor, which comes to the
surface near East river and He'll Gate,
and clays and sands Of cretaceous age,
which have been found not only to out
crop at places along the north shore,
but to rise into mounds of considerable
height under the surficial deposits of a
portion of the west central part of the
island.
Glacial Deposits.
Glacial deposits. both those constituting
moraines and those due to glacial waters,
are so well exhibited that teachers of
geology and others interested in the
science can find here exceptionally good
illustrations in great variety. To provide
for this demand a special table is includ-
ed in the report giving list Of principal
points OF geologic interest. with brief
notes on instructive features.
The report also includes detailed geo.
logic map and a Topographic map of the
entire island on a scale of about two
miles to the inch, together with many
special maps and other illustrations. To
facilitate reference to the geologic map,
1t is divided into rectangles designated
from west to east by numbers and from
north to south by letters. and these ref
erences are used in the special table

Now Comes the Postal Subway.

London is to have another subway. but
it will be for letters and papers, not for
human beings On it the empires mail
will travel from one part of London to
the other at the rate of twenty-four miles
an hour.
This new kind of subway is now being
built IN Great Britain's capital. There will
be double tube, just like the passenger
tubes. except that this one will be but
nine feet wide. Through it will run steel
cars three feet by seven and one-half
inches high and two feet ten inches wide,
on two-foot track. /
No motormen will ride on the cars.
They will be controlled at three inte.me-
date stations. the current being derived
from power plants at the various post
offices At each station will be an is and
platform, arranged in two sections. be-
tween which will be placed a control
cabin and special appliances to lift the
mail in and out of the cars.
The trains will run on three kinds of
current. Between the stations they will go
at full speed, shifting to low speed when
approaching a station, running up to the
intermediate speed just after leaving and
then to top speed until the signal warns
that another station is being approached.

The armored cruiser Pittsburgh, recent
ly assigned with the Pacific feet. is again
to join the Pacific reserve fleet. Upon the
arrival Of the Pittsburgh for repairs at
the navy yard at Puget sound. early in
April, she will be detached from the fleet
and assigned to the reserve fleet.
The third-class cruiser Chattanooga
and the first-class cruiser St. Louis will
at the same time be detached from the
reserve fleet. The Chattanooga will be
assigned to general service. The ST Louis

Evening Post.1
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Business
done on the stock exchange today was
the smallest of any day since trading
In stocks was resumed, last Saturday,
and at the same time the change in
prices was unimportant. This condi-
ton was a not at all unnatural result
OF the peculiar circumstances, brought
to Wall streets attention by the re.
suit of Mondays rapid advance in
prices.
While the stock exchange authos-
tiles here impose arbitrary minimum
prices at which sales may be made,
something in the nature of maximum
prices is also imposed by the fact
that London lenders on American
stocks at the final London settle
ment" of July, are allowed by agree
ment to close out such loans when
the price of the collateral reaches
the settlement figures Of July q. The
reaching Of that level. at the opening
of this week, undoubtedly had the re-
sult OF throwing considerable blocks
Of such speculative London holdings
on our market.
Prices are now once more below
that level: hence London selling, such
az occurred on Tuesday and Wednes-
day. has been virtually suspended.
