Sinking Of Cape Cod

The Boston. Transcript refers to the recent indications that Cape Cod is gradually sinking or wearing away. A few daj'S ago workmen at the Provincetown pumping' station found, 17 feet below the level of the surface of the ground and six feet below the sea level a f our-inch stratum of mold composed of decayed leaves, fibrous matter, and frag-ments of tree tnmks and branches. This would seem to indícate the land has sunk, for fresh water is found on the cape at a level nbout equal to the sea level at mean-tides.
