times the Wind and Land Combine
to Beat the Bllows Back to Defeat.
1t Is Il truceless war that the waters
Of the world are waging against It's
lands. John Oliver LaGorce, associate
editor Of the National Geographic So
ciety, has prepared for that institu-
ton a study Of this striking struggle
between the earth and the sen with the
shores lines Of the world as the far
flung theater of war
After calling attention to the fact
that the processes which have trans
formed the polar regions from dense
Jungles OF tropical growth into lands
Of perpetual ice and snow, which have
brought the tops OF mountains to the
bottom Of the sea and the bottom OF
the sen to the tops of mountains. are
still going on although the hands
upon the face OF the clock OF geology
move SO slowly that @c cannot perceive
their movement, Mr. LaGorce con
tinucs:
Along every coast line on the face
OF the earth there is perpetual warfare
between the land and the sea, with the
