Interesting Discovery Made by Rus.
sim Explorers In Asia
The Russians have made a singular dis.
covery in Central Asia. In Turkestan on the
right bank OF the Amou Daria is a chain
of rocky hills near the Bokharan town OF
Karki. and a number OF large caves, which.
upon examination, were found to lead to an
underground city, built apparently long be.
fore the Christian era.
According to effigies, inscriptions and de-
signs upon the gold and silver money un-
earthed from among the ruins the existence
of the town dates back to some two CEN
turies before the birth of Christ.
The underground Bokharan city is about
two vcrsts long, and is composed of an
enormous labyrinth OF corridors, streets and
squares, surrounded by houses and othen
buildings two or three stories high
The edifices contain all kinGs Of domestic
utensils, pots, urns, vases, etc
The high degree of civilization attained
by the inhabitants of the City is shown by
the fact that they built in several stories by
the symmetry of the streets and squares and
by the beauty of the baked Clay ard metal
utensils, and of the ornaments and coins
which have been found.

CITY. so carefully concealed in the bowels Of
the earth, provided an entire population

is forty-oDe miles broad at its narowest
point, double the width OF the English Chan

six feet deep. The Islands, reefs and chan
pels i'll it have been recently surveyed, and
the cost of works, extending over sixty -one
miles, including the Pambam Channel, and
the Adams Bridge reef, is estimated at
% 900, 900 rupees.f The ends viii be
connected by 145 miles of railroad with
Colombo, the great harbor of Ceylop, on

with Madina, the nearest point on the Indian
