s CITY At The bottom - -, -

The city authorities of Rovigno, on the
peninsula Of Istria, in the Adriatic sea,
have discovered a little south OF the
peninsula the ruins Of large town at
the bottom CT the sea 1t has been OBJ
served for some years that fisher1neu's
nets were sometimes entangled in what
appeared to lgs masses Of masonry, OF
which fragments were brought up from
the sea bed. a year or two ago a diver
declared that he had seen walls and
streets below the water.
The city authorities recently decided
to investigate. They gent down a diver
who, at the depth Of eighty-fve feet,
found himself surrounded at the bottom
Of the sea BY ruined walls. He says he
knows they were the work of man He
is builder by trade, and he recognized
the layers Of mortar
Continuing his explorations he traced
the line Of wa1ls, and was able to distin-
guish how the streets were laid out. He
did not see any doors or window open
ings, for they were hidden by masses Of
seaweed and incruzsations. He traced
the masonry for distance Of 100 feet,
where he had to stop, a. his diving cord
did not permit him to go farther. Fl.
had proved beyond doubt that he hal
found the ruins Of a cnce inhabited
town which, through some catastrophe
had been sunk to the bottom Of the sea

the seeds Of a small, grass-like plant
that is native Of India but grows now
largely in New England. 1t is a com
mon plant, but somehow, year by year,
the seeds seem to be growing scarcer;
that is, they are harder to obtain in the
market And year by year the demand
for them has increased among certain
class Of people. Have they any medicinal
properties? Well, only go far as the
qualification Of whiln may be attended
