Thoy have grown a few Inches each year through centuries of time and will probably continue to grow, according accord-ing to Dr. Bally Willis, who Is making a geodetic survey for the war department. depart-ment. Dr. Willis gave his opinion at a camp fire meeting in the California Redwood park, where he said that pressure from underneath Is responsible responsi-ble for the growth of the mountains. Although he made no deflnte prediction, predic-tion, he intimated that the mountains which are now little more than hills as real mountains go. may some time, eons hence, attain the height of the highest peaks known today.
