A Magistrate's Models,

A Baltimore magistrate, who has often to hearses arising out of motor accidents, has provided himself with 'a few models of automobiles-three touring cars, a taxi, and a lorry-in order to assist the giving of evidence. His equip ment also includes a large board on which is represented a street with intersections. As each wit- ness tells his story, says the Man-! chester Guardian, he is given an opportunity to illustrate it by moving these miniature vehicles along the beard. Sometimes the models bring disaster to the per- sons who use thun. After fruitless attempts to show by actual move- ment how a certain accident occurr- ed they are compelled to admit that their version of the way it hap- pened is not correct. England Sinking.

Two geological changes of an opposite kind are going on in Eng- land simultaneously, the Daily Mail tells us. A tract of East Anglia that until comparatively recent days was so marshy that people who ventured on it had to tie bunches of rushes 10 their legs tu, prevent themselves from getting" bogged", in the swamps has become firm, dry soil. But while the level of the land in this area-once a sub- merged forest-is rising, England in other parts is sinking gradually. 'Coast erosion" has become a serious matter. All round British foreshores sums have been spent already in trying to check it. They are small in comparison with what this work will eventually cost, From West Sussex alone it is esti mated that the sea "bites off" nearly 400 acres annually-the area of a fairsized farm. To give an instance: At Brackelsham Bay and Cakeham the coasterodes" to the extent of from 8 to 15 feet a year. The startling fact about coast erosion is that it is due to what geologists term a "continuing de- pression" of the land. In other words, England, on its south and west sides at any rate, is gradually alaking
