The nl.ek sea ana rns Sc. or A1or.


As the Black Sea IS again about 70
become the scene Of stirring events, it
is well that clear understanding
should be had of the nature OF that
remarkable body of water. 1t is about
seven hundred miles long in its longest
direction, and has an extreme width of
about three hundred and eighty miles,
being three-fourths longer than Lake
superior, and more than twice as
wide. Its depth is from four 10 forty
eight fathoms near shore, but in the
middle no soundings have been found
at one hundred and sixty fathoms. The
greatest depth of Lake Superior is two
hundred fathoms.
The Black Sea is not like our lakes,
fresh water sea, but on the other
| hand II contains one-seventh less salt
than ocean water, and is held TO re-
ceive One-third of all the running
water Of Europe. The puzzle is what
becomes of all this fresh water and how
the sea retains its salinity. 1t is tide
less. There is no perceptible cur
rent towards the Mediterranean. 1t
has the same level as the Sea of Mar
mora. The outlet by the Bosphorus,
even were there strong current, would
be insufficient to discharge the immense
volumes of water constantly pouring
into the inland sea, and it scarcely
seems credible that the evaporation ls
sufficient to account for the surplus
water. Like our own lakes, it Is sub
irct to frequent storms, but navigation
not * ;eptiOnally unsafe, and an ex-
tensiye steam navigation is carried TN.
There are several islands near the
mouth of the Danube, but the sea is
ngularly free from rocks and shoals.
Inc Sea oil AZov, which is connected
with the Black Sea by the narrow Strait
of Yenikale, is much smaller, being
only about 1853 miles long and eighty
broad. Its waters are fresh and abound
with fish, but ere very shallow, and fall
off towards the west into huge marshes,
which have been aptly named Putrid
Sea. II is of comparatively little i'm
portance for purposes of NAVIGATE IN,
though it has several ports and road
st lads.
All the shores washed by the Black
Sea have within the last decade made
rapid strides in the path of material
and industrial development. The en-
tire Russian coast is annually growing
IN population, wealth and Importance.
Odessa chiefly exports wheat, tallow,
hides, wool ard leather, and takes in
return the products of all manufacture
ing Europe. The southern shore,
comprising the northern line of Asia
Minor, has also been quickened into
an activity which bids fair to bring it
up to its ancient prosperity. SAMSON
and Trebizond are the principal ports,
and are the gates through which the
trade of Persia, Armenia and central
Asia can flow to Europe. The local
products are not very important,
chiefly consisting of wool, hides and
bieadstuffs.

"Sunday Reading, Looked Into.


Editors Democratic Statesman : In
your last Sundays issue, under the cap
ton Sunday Reading" it is quite
evident that, though the article APP
peaFed as an editorial, the greater part
of il must have been supplied by Mr..
Chaplin as the substance of sermon
delivered by himself. This being the
case, he Is responsible for whatever is
contained in said article. He is very
kind not to 'impugn the honesty Of
those who differ With him." And yet
1t must be apparent TO all that if his
statements contain the truth, the great
er part of the Christian world are in
exeusably ignorant, or they are wicked
and perveTse beyond measure for refus-
ing to obey the light. There are n
great many-the vast majority Of
Christians--who believe that the SsseT-
tions SO confidently put forth by Mr..
Chaplin have been u thousand times
successfully met and so triumphantly
dispfoved that he who does not know
il Is supposed to choose ignorance, sus-
peeting that, after all, there is some
truth IN the line, ''Where ignorance is
