In the summer af 1856. Mr, A. T.
Low. Of the Canadian geological sur
Yey. made a Journey through the cen
tral regions OF Labrador and revealed
a large extent Of new country. he
travelled north ,or 500 miles using ths
little rivers for his canoe When posi-
bic and crossing many poTtages. he
anAiIy came TO a lake hfry miles Ions
and from half = mile 70 nye miles
wide The lake stands 500 feet above
the sea and is about leo miles from T.
The explorers surprise was very great
when be discovered 10 this lake large
number Of seals which appeared 10

ly allied species In other words. ne

FAR from the sea and high shove u
lie learned that these animals are
breeding rapidly in their fresh water
habitat and that some Of them are
killed every year by the Indiana Seal
Lake is the name be gave II,
His conclusion az TO hos the seals
came TO be in the lake Is doubtless
correct He found evidence ali around
that this was part OF the region that
was submerged by the sea In the
Champlain or late glacial epoch Al
that time the lake sss undoubtedly
connected with the sea and when the
land began to rise again, ar, Low says.
the seals having found the lake fnl.
Of hsh lost their inclination 70 return
to the sea" So there they are living
today fully adapted 10 their new eondi-
lions of life
Similar instances that are sin more
remarkable have been found In recent
years. In the great Siberian lake, Bal
kaI. which Is ! 500 feet above the sea,
and hundreds Of miles from II. are nu-
meruus seals and number Of species
of marine crustaeeans. OF course they
never originated in fresh water and the
only explanation Is tina; they came
into the lake AT the time when nearly
the whole of Siberia was below sea
level. The depression iIled by the lake
Is OF enormous depth. The bottom in
some parts is three-fourths Of mile
below the surface. aud IN these depths
the sea animals continue to live and
thrive They are undistinguishabIe
from the phoca toetida Of spitEbergeu
waters. and the people in the neighboF-
hood eagerly hunt the animals for
their skins, which are sold at large
profit 10 Chinese traders.
Awhile ago British naturalisi nam
ed Gunther declared that he had found
a number OF marine animals In the
waters OF the central African lake,
Tanganyika, about 500 miles from the
sea. 1t has since been found that his
report was correct, for the lake con-
tains jellyfsh. numerous species Of
mollusks, prawns and protozoa OF un-
doubted marine derivation. A party
sent from Europe TO specially study the
lakes animal life brought home Un-
doubted proofs of the fact that Tan
ganylka was once connected with the
sea, that ocean animals then found
their way to the lake. and when the
rising land cut off the inland waters
from the ocean the marine animals
adapting themselves to the new condl-
tions, continued to live and produce
their kind In Lake Tanganyika
