bottom of a Sea railing Out.

Scientists tell us that, counting from
the sea level the lowest body-of water
on the globe is the Caspian sea. For
centuries its surface has been gradu-
ally settling down until now it is eigh-
ty-five feet lower than that of its near
neighbor, the Black sea, which also lies
far below the level of the oceans. The
common conclusion all along has been
that the Caspian was simply losing it's
waters by evaporation, but recent in
vestigation shows that this is not the
case. Soundings made and compared
with records of soundings made over
100 years ago reveal the astounding
fact that there is even greater depth
Of water now than then. This leaves
but one hypothesis that would seem at
all tenable-that the bottom Of the sea
is actually sinking. There is much
speculation in scientific circles as to
what will be the final outcome.

In Brittany when housewife begins
to knead dough she makes a cross with
her right hand, the left being placed in
the trough. If cat enters the room, it
is believed the bread will not rise

cause the dough to multiply itself. On
the coast of the channel the dough is
adjured to initiate the leaven, the mil
Ter and the baker and to rise.
The oven is d sacred object and con-
nected with crowds of superstitions.

Whales In the Thnmes

In former times the appearance of q
whale in the river Thames was consid-
cred ominous One was caught off
Greenwich three months prior to the
death of Oliver Cromwell, and the COM
mon opinion was expressed by Heath
in his "Flagellum." "It pleased God,'
he remarks, Ito usher in his end with
a great whale three months before.
June 2, that came up as far as Green
wich and there was killed." Evelyn,
in his DIARY" under the date of June
3, 1868. mentions that a whale was
killed off Greenwich and that it drew
an Infinite concourse to see it by wa
ter, horse, coach and on foot from Lon
don and all parts" According to Rob-
ert Hubert, in his Catalogue Of Nat
ural Rarities," the tongue of this whale
was exhibited daily for some time at
the "Miter, near the west end of st.
Pauls church."
In February, 1857. another whale
was caught in the Thames, and in the
Times Of that month appeared an adj
vertisement for piece of ground. some
40 feet by 60 feet, ION which to exhibit
whale" The piece of ground adver-
tised for was found in the Mile END
road, and the whale was exhibited I'M
til March IA. In the same month
namely, on March 81 = expired the
house of commons, which had been
elected in 1852.

The introduction OF Forks.

Forks are articles Of such common
household necessity to us that we hard
~ realize that there was time. and
not so long ago either, when forks were
entirely unknown. A knife was used
at the table to cut up food, but the.
food so cut was afterward conveyed by
the fingers to the mouth. Rich and poor
alike were accustomed to this method
and so thought it perfectly correct.
1t was about the year 1000 and in the
reign of James l. when forks were first
introduced into England. This piece
Of refinement" we are told. was de-
rived from the Italians.
