at Newberg the committee ad­

consequence was that all obliga­

COMING PROBLEMS OF THE

OUR SENSITIVE PLANET.
Chang*« A r* Constant In ths Shop* o f

One naturally thinks of th«
earth’s crust a» being exceedingly
solid and stable, except perhaps in
volcanic regions where earthquakes
are of frequent occurrence. As a
matter of fact, however, the ahell
of our planet is extremely sensitive
and most delicately balanced, so that
under the influences of causes that
seem altogether insignificant in
eompari- with the gigantic bulk
and weig.a of the earth it yields
and fluctuates in a most amazing
manner.
To an eye so placed as to be capa­
ble of taking in at one comprehen­
sive glance the whole round outline
of the globe it would not appear
of precisely the same shape during
an entire day or even an hour.
Most of the changes referred to are,
of courae, very slight when com­
pared with the size of the earth
itself.
The operation of atmospheric
and oceanic afid other similar causes
is . continually bringing about
changes in the shape of the earth’s
crust. One of the most interesting
of the agencies whereby such alter­
ations are effected is the carrying
power of rivers. Wherever a great
quantity of saiid and gravel ia be­
ing brought down from the interior
of a continent and poured into the
sea, as, for instance, along the
northwestern coast of Europe or the
gulf coast of the United States, the
weight of the •• : th’s crust is slowly
increasing, and the consequence is
seen in the gradual subsidence of
the shore.

for thousands of years along the
North sea coast and on the conti­
nental side of the British channel.
A similar depression is occurring on
the eastern edge of our own coun­
try and along the Gulf of Mexicd:
It has been estimated that the gulf
coast is sinking at the rate of near­
ly two feet in a century.
Corresponding elevations must,
of course, occur elsewhere. And to
these slow changes in the level of
the earth’s crust earthquakes are
due as well as to the more violent
local disturbances created by vol­
canic action.
