MUNICH. Dec. 24.--Wihtin the last
centuries the Bavarian Alps have adj
yanced seven meters toward the west
and north. according TO n report sub
mitted by Professor w. Schmidt to
the Ovarian Academy OF Sciences.
Professor Schmidt believes this shift
ing OF mountain range OF the Alps
is Sign that the forces which formed
the Alps are still at work in the In
terror OF the earth. In seeking for
an explanation. he also compares the
great continents OF tho earth with
icebcrGs that drift across the oceans

In the same manner. he says. per-
haps the continents. or parts OF them
