Anattempt TO give a scientific account
Of the destruction of Sodom and Com
orrah has been made by DIR. c. Diener,
OF Vienna. A study of the peculiari,ies
81 the Dead Sea basin, and of the site Of
the overwhelmed "cities OF the plain"
leads him TO conclude that a vio.ent
earthquake must at some time have
occurred there. which affected the en-
tire basin, and was accompanied by the
inundation of the shores. An old VOL
canic crater on the eastern aide of the
sea was. he thinks, simultaneously
thrown into eruption through the dis
turbance produced by the earthquake.
These occurrences would supply the
principal phenomena mentioned in the
Scriptural account.-Youth's Compan-
