CoxvERsloN OF DESERT INTO /. LAKE

CONVERSION OF DESERT INTO LAKE
Captain William Allen. Of the British navy,
has published Il book advocating the CONVEX
sion of the Arabian desert into an ocean
The author believes that the great valley ex-
tending from the southern depression Of the
Lebanon range 10 the head Of the Gulf Of
Akaba, the eastern branch of the head of
the Red Sea, has been once an ocean. Ii is
in many places 300 feet below the level of
the Mediterranean, and in ii are situated the
Dead Sea and the Sea Of Tiberias lie be-
hcvcs that this ocean, being cut off from the
Red Sea by the rise of the land at the south
ern extremity, and being only fed bv small
streams, gradually became dried by solar
evaporation. lie proposes to cut a canal Of
adequate size from the head Of the Gulf Of
Akaba 70 the Dead Sea, and another from
the Mediterranean. near Mount Carmel
across the plain Esdraclon, To the assure in
the mountain range Of Lebanon. Bv this
means the Mediterranean would rush in. with
fall Of 1900 feet. fill up the valley, and
substitute an ocean Of 1000 square miles in
extent, for barren, useless desert; thus
making the navigation 10 India as short as
the overland route. spreading fertility over II
now arid country, and opening up the fertile
regions Of Palestine TO settlement and culti-
yation.
The conception is magnificent one, but
no sufficient survey has been made to deter
mine It's practicabihty or its cost.

Judge Platt's official certificate as to the
laws of our State governing the liability of
corporators has been of vital service to me,
and when my lawyers asked "Where is your
evidence that the effects of the New York
Association are now in the hands of re-
ceiver!" answered, "The gentleman who
was taking with me in the visitors room
when you came and took me away, knows
that perfectly; perhaps he is still there"
at once sent for him. and found him
there. Thus all things conspired for good;

TOur Reverend and delightful cores
pendent from Philadelphia, is getting him
sell into pretty pickle in talking about the
ladies! Read his letter to-day. We want
our lady friends to understand that We are
not responsible for single word contained
in his letter, wherein he refers to the ladies
or the fashions. He is taking advantage OF
Sistoncs, and of his wife's brief absence from
his side, to perpetrate good deal OF scandal.
But we are somewhat able to account for this
singular exhibition on his part. He writes
to us privately, that he has very bad cold
and the weather is horrible. This almost
excuses him for "making faces" at the
fashions, or even at the ladies themselves
We have no doubt his next letter will be
rather apologetical!
