Peculiarities of the Black Sea.

Sir John Murray recently showed how remarkably the Black sea differs from ot he seas. and oceans, | A surface current flows continuously from the Black sea into the Mediterranean, and an under current from the Mediter- ranean into the Black sea. The latter current is salt, and, being heavier than the fresh water above, it remains stag nant at the bottom. Being saturated with sulphuretted hydrogen, this wa ter will not maintain life, and so the Black sea contains no living inhabit- ants below the depth of about 100 fath- oms.
