Raising the Sea OF Azor.

The Sea Of Azov, an arm of the
Black Sea, is to be improved fol navi-
cation by novel method. 1t is Joined
70 the Black Sea by the Strait of
Kertch, which is about two miles wide
and possesses a maximum depth Of
twenty-seven feet. But at the various
ports along its shores the depth of
water varies only from five feet to four
teen feet. Every effort thus Ear made
by the Government to maintain chan
nels for seagoing craft has been I'M
availing, and K has been necessary to
maintain costly system OF Tightening.
1t is proposed, theref ore, to get rid of
the latter by raising the Level of the en-
tire sea, through the construction of
dam across the Strait of Kertch. This
dam will raise the water high enough
to give twenty feet of water in all Of
the ports. A large amount Of shore
property will have TO be protected, and
compensation for damages to existing
harbor work will be included in the
bill of expenses.--San Francisco Chron-
