is surprise to many that sle lead

other cities look to Oberlin when in

that this school enrolls an older and

Sand Dunes From the Sea.

One of the most interesting and re-
markable of the many regions for the
observation of sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux and Bayonne in Gascony'
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach, along line of 100 miles IN
length, some 100000 cubic yards OF
sand. The prevailing westerly winds
continue picking up the surface par
ticles from the westward slope, where
they are again deposited. and the en-
tire ridge by this means alone moves
gradually inward. In the course OF
years there has thus been formed a
complex system of dunes; all approx
mately parallel with the coast and with
one another and of attitudes up to 250
feet. These are marching steadily in
ward at rate of from three to six
feet q year. whole villages having
sometimes been torn down to prevent
burial and rebuilt at a distance.
