Changing the Face of the
Earth.
Natural causes are helping to extend
the territorial possessions of France, It
is said that her colony of Tonquin is
pushing out into the sea at the rate of
nearly fifty feet a year, so rapidly is the
alluviam brought down the many chaus
nels in the Red River delta filling up the
shallow ocean in front of it. According
to Chinese geographers, Hanoi, the eap~
ital of Tonquin, now far inland, stood on
the seashore ouly twelve hundred years
8go and il is certain that within historic
times a very large part of Tonquin has
been reclaimed from the waters,
I'he drainage area of the Yang-tse-
Kiang River is equal to one sixth of the
area of our country, incloding Alaska. It
is estimated that the enormous amount
of sediment poured down by this river,
amounts to the denndation of the entire
basin by one foot in No
wonder that with this mass of five billion
cubic feet of eolid matter emptied into
the ocean every year the people of Shans
ghai are able to see that the coast line is
rapidly advancing.
Some strange reminders of the land are
sometimes fished from the bottom of mid-
ocean. The trawl of a scientific exped.-
ition in the Southern Pacific a while ago
brought up some pieces of gneiss some of
them showing glacial making. These frag-
ments are supposed to have bee brought
far northward from Antaretic land by
floating ice. The influence of all the
great rivers can be traced on the bottom
far out to sea, The detritus from the
Congo ia found sifted over the ocean bed
600 miles from land. The bottom of the
Bay of Bangal and the Arabian Sea are
entirely covered with sediment from the
Gaoges and Indus. Oceanic depths of
water are pushed farther ont from land
opposite the mouths of big rivers, The
Congo seems to furnish a remarkable
exception to thisrole, The reason is that
this mighly river, whose steady outflow
is never for a monent interrupted by the
Atlantic tides has ploughed a big farrow
in ths ocean bed for a consideraple dist
tance so that deep water comes nearer to
the Congo's mouth than to the adjacent
parts of the continent,
