Long Island, the big Insular fish that loooks on the map as It It were about to swallow up New York city, is apparently being slowly swallowed up itself by the ocean, says the New York Herald. Already portions of It shore front have disappeared beneath the Waves, and now the northern fork of Its huge tail Is disappearing; About --two mile of Orient point, which formed a sandy beach two year ago, are now under fifteen feet ot sea water. The lighthouse on the point was six rods from the sea a few years since. It Is now toppled over bjr the sea, and only a amall portion of the surrounding beach is visible. The encroachments of the sea, or, more correctly, the sound, have been going on slowly ior years. The bluffs on both the sound and the bay shore of Orient point have been sinking at the rate of about ten or twel ve feet a year. The same stale of affairs IS true also of Montauk point, but there the .bluffs Jut up so abruptly and so high above the sea that the rising of the water is not so noticeable. A rise of a foot or two on the low shore near bay, however, submerges acres of land, iMuch of the threatened Jand on Orient point Is fertile, farm land, and the steady advance of" the shore Jinn Is causing no small concern on the part of the owners. The water has. In several places, found Its way across a low sprit on the point from the sound to the bay, Th result Is to divide the peninsula Into a number of srrfal! Islands, similar to Plum. Little Gull, and Great Gull Islands, all of which were doubtless once a part of the mainland, end were cut off by the rise of t,he sea. The village of Orient Is situated la a particularly narraw and low portion of the peninsula, and the next consequential Inroad of the Ocean wilt probably occur there. In that case 2.009 acres of land and a village of 1,000 people will have to be abandoned.
