INLAND SEAS THAT ARE DRYING UP ARE REM


INLAND SEAS THAT ARE DRYING UP ARE REM
NANTs OF IT.
From The London Daily News
a curious discovery made by Dr. Sven Hedin
the intrepid Swedish explorer is recorded in a
telegram from ST. Petersburg which publish
this morning. During his adventurous journeys
in Eastern Turkestan, Tibet and Mongolia, ended
some two years ago. he visited the great sheet
Of water called Lob Nor. This he found to
differ materially from the maps and the descrip-
tiOns Of previous observers. and he has now ex-
amined it a second time. Situated rather more
than two thousand feet above sea level, its
waters are fed by the River Tarim, but emptied
only by evaporation, for stream issues from
it. Thus they should be salt, but DR.. Sven
Hedin found them to be fresh From this he
concluded that the Lake could not have been
long in existence
The impossfbIIty of reconciIing the observa-
tiOnS Of his predecessors with what he had him
self seen also suggested that Lob Nor was not
permanent sheet of water like the Dead Sea
OF Lake Balkhash. but was constantly shifting
its position. the lake bed of time being filed
up by desert sand, and forming again in new
places. The correctness of his original infer
ance has now been placed beyond doubt.
The lake known 10 earlier observers has now
disappeared, and its dry bed is strewn with
shells and other organisms which had lived in
is waters But a system of new lakes has been
formed around the old basin, which DR.. Sven
Hedin has explored and mapped The Tarim
Basin is a barren and dry ldnd-a region OF
travelling waves Of desert sand. All this tract
has been drying up, probably continuously, even
in historic times The same thing IS true or
RaIkhash is disappearing with comparative
rapidity. According TO the Russian geographers,
its area has been greatly reduced during the
present century. and those who dwell by its
=hCTes assert that its level IS lowered at the
ate OF a foot in every five years. But the same
hing is true of the Syr Daria and the Anu
Daria and the Aral Sea, into which their waters
are cmptied
In fact the whole drainage basin of this sea
and of the Caspian is undergoing destccatlOn,
slow but sure. These two seas. with many
minor salt lakes are but pools left in the deeper
hollows Of a great ocean by which the Mediter-
ranean was extended into the heart of Asia
There are banks of dead sea shells where once
the waves We're breaking: there are dry steppCs
where the heritage was green and forests
lourished. The fact is certain, but the cause
not easy to discover The climate must be
changing. not in this that locality, but over a
broad and extensive zone. which runs with
little interruption from Northern Africa TO the
Eastern end Of the Desert of Cobb. 4 similar
change has occurred in the New World The
Great Salt Lake Of Utah IS but remnant of a
vastly greater sheet of fresh water which once
sent a river to the Pacific
