A VAsr SEA IN AralcA.--lt has long
been theory With scientific men, that the
great central basin Of Africa, must be q
large body Of water. Recent explorations
made under the direction Of DR. Barth,

the fact that what 10 denominated Ethiopia
is a vast inland sea. Il lies between the
equatorial line and the 10Th parallel OF
southern latitude, and between the 23d
