EARTH'S SHRINKAGE

same or equal; stasis, position).
which is a very comfortable
teaching fer the present inhabi-
tants Of the earth. since it shows
how small is the present danger
OF any great shakedown.
The gist of the principle Of
isostacy is that the irregularities
Of the earth's surface. which are
shown by the existence on the
one hand OF continents, with
mountain masses and lofty
plateaus, and on the other hand
of deep basins in which the
oceans lie, are compensated by
underlying differences Of density
in the globe, so that upon the
whole, there is equilibrium.
Earth Solid to Center.
Although the earth is solid from
surface to center, yet, owing to
the great pressures within 1t the
subterranean rock is subject to a
slow yielding and flow after the
manner Of the ice in q great gla-
cier. Moreover the projecting
continents may be nkened to
cakes Of floating ice, borne by
the upward pressure Of the denser
water around. Underneath the
great depressions filled by the
seas the rock is denser than the
submerged foundations Of the con-
tinents, and a state Of isostatic
compensation exists at no very
great depth (about seventy-five
miles under the United States,
according to Hayford)
This state Of compensation hav-
ing been attained continues, bar
ring some extraordinary cause Of
disturbance, just as an iceberg.
as long as it's mass remains prac-
tically unchanged, floats at
steady level, being in gravitation-
al equilibrium with the surround
ing water. Hayfor6's long-contin-
ued Investigations showed that
the actual conditions underneath
the United States closely accord
with the theory that they occupy
a region where isostatic compen-
sation has been very nearly at
tained, being complete at depth
Of seventy-five miles.
Just as If the density OF the
water in a basin were increased
a body floating in it would be
buoyed higher so II the pressure
of the surrounding heavy rock
mass became greater the conti'
nent would be lifted proportion
ately.

WVHERE. has recently died an
4 American, a Cornell man,
John F.. Hayford, whose name
will long be read and spoken in
the circles Of science because OF
his contributions to our knowl-
edge Of the size, and of the ins>
terror state, of the planet OF
which we live.
Only day or two before his
sudden death announcement was
telegraphed to all over the civilized
world Of Hayford's latest calcula-
ton Of the diameter Of the earth,
taken in two directions. viz,
along the axis Of rotation from
pole to pole. and through the CEN
ter in the plane Of the equator.
The significant feature Of the
announcement was that it showed
so slight a, change from the pre-
vious figures, used in the Ameri-
can Ephemeris and Nautical Al
manac, which figures themselves
were determined by Hayford in
1909.
AS now fixed the polar diam
eter Of the earth is 7,926,67S
miles, and the equatorial diam
eter is 7,S99,964 miles. These de-
crease the older estimates by
O.002 and O.016 Of a mile, respec-
lively; that is to say they show
: the earth to be about 1015 feet
shorter from pole to pole than 1t
was formerly supposed to be and
about SAN feet shorter through
the equator.
Shows EaHh's Shrinkage.
o. Tellus Mater is not likely
to lose any sleep over her ap-
parent shrinkage, which is only
mathematical; but the matter
has it's importance in scientific
calculations, to say nothing OF the
satisfaction that increased exact
ness always gives to well-regu-
lated minds 1t is the result or
an amount of intellectual labor
that, applied in other directions
would have sufficed to pile up a
great fortune in perishable goods.
But Hayford will be remem-
bered for another, far broader
achievement, whose results are
expressed in great principles
rather than in concrete figures.
Those who read scientific news
nowadays sometimes come upon
the word 'isostacy.' They are
likely to encounted it wherever
the subject of earthquake is dis
cussed. Hayford was the great

DELTA GIRLS WIN
OVER CEDAREDGE

One of the most bitterly fought con-
tests of the present basketball con.
ference took place on the Montrose
basketball court Tuesday evening,
when the girls basketball teams of
Cedaredge and Delta came together
for the final clash to determine which
should enter the tournament. Each
team had been defeated once, losing
to the other.
The armory was packed to the
guards with spectators and to Delta's
credit be it said that a great majority
of the audience were enthusiastic
fans from our own little city who car
ried enough pep along to make most
any team win.
1t was no easy matter the winning
of this game. Each team was de
termined to win, and while the Delta
girls kept slightly in the lead through.
out, the score, until the last whistle
sounded, was too close for comfort. 1t
was battle royal in which wits
and 1.-THE bodies were about evenly
matched, but the Delta Pantherettes
succeeded in winning by points, the
final score being 20 to 25.
There was considerable dissatisfac-
tion regarding the refereeing of the
MOntrose man who was selected for
this important position but it was the
general opinion that the Cedaredge
girls had the best of the deal in this
regard.
The Delta girls have honestly earn
ed all they have made and the honor
is coming to them. They will 90 in
