DEAD SEA LEVEL FALLING.

A few weeks ago the Sun printed Great Salt Lake In Utah Is steadily fall ing on account of the large volume of sorbed by irrigation enterprises. sim liar report comes from the Dead sea in Palestine. The sea was formerly much larger than at present, as is shown by the old beaches stretching at various attitudes around the whole basin. Since the middle of the century it's level has been very slowly rising till quite recently but now 1t is falling again.
 The phenomenon Is not due to natural causes, but to the steadily increasing quantity of water that is taken from the Jordan river for irrigation purposes There are other smaller streams flowing into the sea and they, too, are being utilized by the increasing number of farmers, who are diverting all the water they can get to the lands and are reliev ing the monotonous aspect of the for mer arid and lifeless region with many verdant fields.
 The latest travellers say that some of the salt deposits covering the bottom of the lake may now be seen above the water in the shallower> >places and near the shores. This is a new aspect in ad- dtion to the deposits of salt crystals that have always been observed on the shores. But even though this desicca tion go steadily on, 1t will take a long time to dry up the waters, for it re- quires sounding line over thirteen feet long to touch the bottom in the deep northern part of the basin.-- New York Sun.

SIT. GAuDENs IGNORED.

The Luxembourg has also within the last few months, secured some perma-

 are the more than life-siZe bronze stat ue of an angel by the American scup-
 tor St. Gaudens, the author of many
 fine works, of which almost the only one known over here is the large me
 dallion portrait in low relief of Robert Louis Stevenson, so often referred to in
 the recently published Letters" Other additions are Alphonse Legros S bronze, Portrait de Miss G." which has been seen at the Grafton Galleries; two remarkable drawings for Les Dia- boliqueS"-a strange book of tales and studies by that romantiste entrance, Barbey d'Aureyilly--from the hand of Felicien Rops, whom it is so hard to prove to the world a master just be- cause his best things are also his most unconventional not to say unpresent- able. Most welcome of all will be the beautiful 'Enlevement d'Europe by Gustave Moreau, one of teh regretted artists masterpieces.
 The separate museum constructed in Berlin to receive the great marbles from Pergamum, of which during the last seventeen years teh major part has laln on the ground practically unseen, in the ground-fioor galleries of the present building, is now fast approaching com pletion. It contains a faithful recon struction on the scale of the original, of the vast open-air altar on the Acropo lis of Pergamum, round the podium and the sides of which ran the gigantic freze in high relief with the battle be- tween gods and Titans.

OTHER POWERS BRUSHING UP.
Taking Their Cue From the United
States In Dealing With the
sublime Forte.

Corstantinople. April 25.-ln view of
the steps taken by the United States
government in regard TO the claims
arising out of the Armenian mas
sacres, the embassies of Grent Britain,
France, Austria, Italy and Germany
have asked their governments for in
structions as to their similar claims.
The PRONUNCIATION of the trade au-
thorizing the rebuilding of the Amer
lean structures burned at Kharput
and the enlargement of the Roberts
college is regarded as showing clearly
the desire of the Yildiz kiosk to be
agreeable to the United States in the
hope that the latter will not press for
the payment of the indemnity. The
United States government, however,
has no intention of abandoning it's

touched than now. So long as the
children love me l am u%nassailable,
for they are unerring in their inten.

That fifty thousand little ones
hould make me fifty thousand good

triumph of my life. When l hear it
tick or see its hands move, l shall say
to myself How rich you are; fifty
thousand innocent, kindly friends
are with YOU; and my heart will swell

the watch and feel it shall be a tails

tee of happiness and success

Disappointing Baptist Statistics.

Statistics given in the Baptist year
book show that the denomination
made gains last year, although they
did not even reach the disappointing
figures of the year before. The num-

The number of baptisms showed a

the number of members. Over e5,o o
