The Earth Drying Up.

There is abundant evidence that
the amount OF water on the surface
OF the earth has been steadily diRin-
ishing for many thousands of years.
No oae doubts that there Was q time
when the Caspian sea communicated
with the Black ses, and VIXEN the
Mediterranean covered the greater
part OF the Desert of Sahara. IL fact,
geologists tell us that at one period
the whole Of the earth was covered by
water, and the tact that continents Of
dry land now exist is proof that there
is less water on our globe now than
there was in its infancy. This dim-
mutton of oar supply OF water is &C.
ing on a. the present day at rate 80
rapid as to be clearly sppreciab!e.
The rivers and emRller streams Of our
Atlantic States are visibly smaller
than they we're twenty years ago.
Country brooks in which men now
living were accustomed to fish and
battle in their boyhoed, have in many
cases totally disappeared. not through
any act Of man, bat solely in conse-
quence of the failure of the springs
and rains which once fed them. The
level of the great lakes is falling year
by year. There are many piers OF
the shores on lakeside cities which
vessels once approached with ease,
but which neE hardly reach 10 tne
edge OF the water. Hsrbors are
everywhere growing shal!0wer. This
ia not due to the gradual deposit OF
earth brought dowa by rivers or of
refuse from ertY severe. The hsrbor
