These folds in the earth's crust, which in some places are of 6 miles depth and of 65 to 200 miles width, are the direct result, it is confidently believed by Dr. Meinesz, of the con- tinents of North and South America leaning in upon each other. ‘Whether the movement of the two continents toward each other is con- | tinuing, or whether the earth at that | particular spot is convalescing from its | wound, has not been determined. But it is certain that, geologically | speaking, the crease in the earth's crust | at this point is of comparatively recent origm Asked for an explanation of that “comparatively recent” diagnosis Dr. Fred E. Wright of the Clmule Institution here, who accompanied Dr. Meinesz on his expedition, replied, “20,~ 000 yelrs maybe much more.

Silt Load Equalized, | Another outstanding discovery made | by the scientists on the expedition aboard the S-21 was that the vast yearly deposits of silt by the Missis- sippi River at its delta are not creating a heavy gravity load on the earth’s crust at this point, but that the crust is keeping its equilibrium with a com- | pensating settlement which takes cnre* of the great deposits. ‘ Another discovery made on the ex- | pedition was that the Gulf of Mexico, although by its geognpmcnl conforma- tion an inland sea, is subject to the same positive gravity pulls that have been found by Dr. Meinesz in_various parts of the Atlantic Ocean. In other words, it has been found that the Gulf of Mexico gravity pull, in common with that of the Atlantic Ocean and the | Pacific Ocean, is tighter to the earth’s crust than is the pull of the conti- nental structure of North America. The studies made in the various deeps of the Caribbean and the Gulf are of | utmost importance to science.

Dr. Meinesz replied that Mr. Hoover ‘was doing that very well at present. SUES MOTHER-IN-LAW. Arizona Woman Séeks $100,000 in Alienation Action.
