Sometimes it is con- tent with eating slowly, but, now and again, it swallows thousands of tons in as many seconds. Each gale under- mines the white cliffs and sandy prom- ontories. Thus it is that a field may be here today and gone tomorrow,' 1 writes a chartered surveyor in tha Yorkshire Evening News. "It has been estimated that in the 35 years preceding 1911 England lost 6,000 acres. During that same period the sea gave 48,000 acres a good bar- gain perhaps from some points of view, but the unfortunate losers of land are apt to look at the problem from their own standpoint. "It is in the region between Flam- borough Head and Spurn oint in York- shire that the most serious erosion occurs. In a distance of 40 miles 12 towns and villages have been devoured by the sea. "The damage that erosion can do to a seaside resort is incalculable. Take away a beach, and very often you taka away a resort's raison d'etre.

Canadian Salmon Heads Fish List The salmon Is the king lish of Can- ada, Judged by commercial standards. It Is nearly three- times as valuable as any other single species of fish, and it accounts for nearly two-thirds of the total product of the fisheries ot the Dominion. In 1928, the total value of the production of tho fisheries was $55,050,973, of which salmon account- ed for $17,867,063. The next largest contribution made by a single variety of fish was that of cod, Its catch being valued at $6,285.777. took place at Vincennes. Tho exhibition was arranged by the Aero Club de- France and a Paris press syn- dicate, and was conducted under the patronage of President Dotimergue, M. Laurent-Eynac, Minister of Air, and Pierre-Etlenne Flandin, Minister ot Commerce, who is also president of the Aero Club. About 300 planes took part In tho festival and the crowd attending on the opening days of the exhibition was estimated at 200,000. Among the fa- motia aviators participating were Lena Bernstein, holder of the woman's re- cord for endurance and distance In a straight line-, who won the only event of the festival open exclusively to wo- men fliers. Other famous fliers and machines which elicited enthusiastic applause from the spectators are Capt. Dicudonne Coste and Maurice Bellonto in their Question Mark and Jean As- solant In his Yellow Bird. Lads Find Gold Mine In Thistle Hunting Beglna. Sow thistle, arch-enemy of the grain growers of Saskatchewan, will prove a gold mine for lads of the southern farming district of Klncaid. The rural Council there has placed a bounty on patches of thistle which have not previously been reported. Lads who discover new thistle patches will get 50 cents per patch from the Council. It was in this district that an agricultural expert last year found 23.000.000,000 sow thistle seeds In two cars of oats. Miners Record Claims Victoria, B.C.
