 fl nsW lsiand--aimost. .--'fhe New York Sun states on the authority of letter from French seoogstto to the French. Academy of Sciences, that an extensive island of solid rock will make ils appearance iu the Mediterranean. The particulars of this strange geological fact are as follows
 1.-The fishermen of the island of Pane;oria in the GFeclan Archipelago, informed visant 10 the island towards the close of the last century, that the bottom of the sea had lately risen considerably at certain place near the port of fhera. The soundngs were then from l5 10 20 fathoms. bu previously the bottom could not be found. In 1929, that siand was again visIied when 1t was asceralned that tho rise of the submarine land had gradually continued, and that the depth o wa lsr was then not than four and half iathoms.- Soundings were again made in 1880, when, in period o tess than year, the depth bad decreased half la thom. The form and extent of the rock also ta- ken, by which 1t found 10 be 500 metres in length and 500 in breadth The depth all around his antlcl. pated island was very great Since the lime the place has been repeatedly visited and the rock been found gradually 10 rise, that in September last il had come l@ within two !aihoms of the surface. In four years, therefore, the rock will become large island By tho submarine volcanoes there in l7l2 the island of hal- meni Tn same port, and near by, was formed, Dul no erupiions have since appeared though this rising oi the lard indicates the still active power Of internal nea which, whenever the resistance shall be reducea' VIII burst forth in it's wonted fury.n- Bait.
