At the beginning of the Christian Era II
was Level with the Ocean.

At the beginning of the Christian Era II
was Level with the Ocean.
The Caspian sea lies eighty-tive feet
below the level Of the Black sea, and is
the greatest body of water in the world
lying below the sea level II is remark
able not only for this fact, but for the
changes that have occurred in its level
About the First century Of our era there
is no doubt that the level of the sea
stood eighty-hve feet above its present
horizon. and of counse spread over a
vastly more extensive area than at
present. The Russian Geographical
society has printed a treatise, written
by n. NJ. Philipof, on these remarkable
changes Of level. Since the early part
of the Christian era ageneral and grad
ual decline Of the level of the sea has
taken place.
In the Eighteenth century, however,
there appear to have been a few
periods when the level rose. From the
beginning Of the present century there
has been a fall. but since 1865, judging
from recent observations the level has
been higher. Lieutenant Sokolof, a
naval officer. while working in the Cas-
plan region from 1S43 TO 1S4S collected
much information. He found that in
the present century the level had stead
lily fallen, just as in the last century it
had risen, causing great apprehension
among the inhabitants of an inunda-
ton and giving rise 10 the belief in
periodical variations every thirteen
years.
Lerch. while in Baku in 1734 and
1747, found submerged buildings which
had stood on dry land thirty years be
fore, and he mentions a saying Of the
Persians that the sea rose and fell al
temately every thirty years.
Mr.. Philipof has made a special study
Of the whole question. Inquiring into
the causes of these changes Of level, he
finds a variety Of influences at work,
such az wind driving the water toward
certain coasts, temperature Of the air
causing iu summer evaporation and
consequent fall in level, and i'm winter
cold producing a rise in level Rivers,
rain and earthquakes are also among
the active agencies, causing huctua-
tons from month to month and from
day 10 day

NERVE DEVELOPMENT.
a.by's Body Is n Mach nc Capahls of Ad-
 van;ageous Application.

Only recently have we known any thing about what was going on under the baby's skin. writes a correspondent of Nightingale. Only within the last few years has the science of padiatrics arisen. Formerly the baby was dosed just like his elder, and if he lived well and good; if not, the will of the Lord be done, The fact that reactions to dis ease and to drugs in the young organism vary from those of the same disease in the adult had received no recognition. Even the sick baby was not understood and much less the well one. Science has now, however, awakened to the fact that the baby is not completely devel- oped when it is born. Dr. Brown calls our attention to the fact that the new born baby is blind, and not only blind but deaf. We know that the baby is born with aimless motions and that true intention is rather late development. Yet the baby has very perfect little muscles. The little hand Is complete, every muscle is there with its glistening tendon, its blood vessels and nerves. ready for use. The failure does not ap- parently lie in the hand itself. It is rather 70 be accounted for by the fact that many at least of these nerves have no continuation beyond the spinal cord. Hence, while they can serve for reflex motions they lack any complete connection with the brain. What now happens Is the shooting down from the part of the brain dele gated for the control of these muscles of a transparent thread-like fiber. or bun dles of fibers, to join or at least to com municate with these nerves which have terminated in the cord. Even with the completion of the tract, however, the line is not open for communication. It is still in the condition of an uninsulated telegraph wire. Impulses will be de- fected all along the line. This Is the condition of much of the nervous sys- tenn of the child at birth. It is almost, but not quite, ready for use. Gradually the transparent nerve strands now be- come white by the addition of a fatty material callc' nyeline, which forms a protecting .th when the nerve is steady for cond duction.
 IL is a curious fact that this develop ment waits for the stimulus of need. Not until the light strikes the retina of the eye do we have completion of the sight mechanism. The same is true of sound. touch and muscular control. It is probably true that as adults we have not the mechanism for actions which we have never tried. There is hence truth in the complaint Il can't do this or that" There is also, however, truth in in the rejoinder You can if you try" With the intention new tracts develop or the old mechanism becomes endowed with new powers
 A little more thought given to the management of the body might result in it's benefit The body is a machine capa- ble of advantageous application or the reverse
