and what influences are responsiI for such phenomenon. Some ] perts, like the civil engineer D. H. l Blaupot ten Cate, suppose that the q Is a consequence of what happened the middle tertiary period. MT. { Gates theory is that Holland is b,I up on alluvial mud flats, which sI participate in various movements the soil.

 Another civil engineer, J. c. R maer, is convinced from the resu of water guage observations that the has been a subsistence of the land Holland, as we'll as that of borde ing countries and the greater part the British Isles. He says it ma.- deduced from the entire list of su observations that there has been average subsistence of 30 centimete per century, declining farther inlal to fifteen centimeterS.

DUTCH IN DANGER
 OF LOSING HOMES
Entire Country Said to Be Sinking
 at Alarming Rate

The Hague, Netherlands, Jan 26.- It may not materially affect the pres ent generation or the next, but if the land level of Holland continues to sink, there is danger of the subsistence becoming so great that. despite all sthe progress of engineering science, it will be impossible to much longer con- tinue the present ceaseless struggle with the waters. That is the view eN- pressed before the Geological Mining society for Holland and it's colonies by Professor Molengraaff, of the Poly technic University of Delft, who is the foremost Dutch geological authority.
 A largo part of the Netherlands, particularly the western and north western provinces. lies some feet below the level of the sea, which Is only kept from overf1OWing hundreds or square miles of land by the natural barrier of the long line of sand dunes that fringe the coast, reinforced at two or three points by artificial means. The level of rivers and many or the canals in such regions are likewise higher than tho surrounding country. being held in check by the dil1cs and entertainments that are maintained at great pains and spondingly high
 
 fore. the question of the continued, if very gradual fall of the land 'level bears an important aspect in the eyes of the Dutch people, and it has recent ly been the subject of discussion among expert geological and hydro gra phical engineers.
 'If.' declares Professor Moien- graaff. "the subsistence is of such a nature that within measurable time a position of equilibrium comes about, then the cost of keeping the land drained will become SO high that there will no longer be much advantage at tached to it's possession. albeit there are alw3ys historical and sentimental aroumerts for that. If however, the total expenditure should exceed the total income, then the common sense of he Dutch people would lead them to withdraw to higher regions"
 Opinions differ on the question of whether tho ground is still sinking.

 Plainville Team Wins.
 The Nutmegs of Bristol, proved easy for the Plainville Young Mems clubs basketball team last evening, the local boys winning the game played in the Town hall by a score of 6s to 9. The visitors were out played from the beginning of the game and at the end of the first half they had scored but four points while the local boys had forty three to their credit.
 Members of the Forestvile team which was scheduled to play here last night, but who advised Manager Ahlquist a few days ago that they could not make an appearance be- S<'NNno l. notice, were present as spectators last night The PIainville team gave a good exhibition and the hoop shoot CTS from the neigh boring village probably arrived at the conclusion that their action in cancelling the game was well taken, viewing the pos abilities from their own angle.
 Next Thursday the Southington AL Stars will play here.

 The committee appointed by the town meeting Wednesday night to ar range for the erection of a four room addition to the Broad street school house will probably meet next week to make arrangem ents for the award- ing of contracts for the work.

seldom that they are seen at such 8 late hour, as they usually take place when the sun first comes up. When l sailor sees a sun dog he at once plans for forty days of storm and, as followers of the sea are usually good weather prophets, it would seem . good plan for the landsman to make like preparations. It might not storm for over five ,ninutes each day, but, nevertheless, it will storm for forty continuous days. Overcast skies and slight flurries of snow this morning indicate that the first day of the prophecy has come true.
 Of Interest to Dairymen.
 The thirty-sixth annual session of the Connecticut Dairymen's associa- tiOn came to a close yesterday after noon in Hartford. It will interest lccal dairymen to know that at the morning meeting more thorough in spection of dairy farms about the state was advocated. This led to the passing of 8 resolution in favor of a bill to instruct the dairy and food commissioner to establish an insrec- ton system with one inspector for each county for all dairy farms in the state. The resolution also carries an appropriation of S2,50O annually for two years, besides the appropriation usually made for the work of the com missioner. Another resolution was passed in favor of a bill compelling all pereons testing milk and cream to de- tern1ine it's butter fat content to serve as a basis by the purchaser, to pass an examination prescribed by the dairy and food commissioner, the fee for such license to be s1.
