Seas Bottom Falling.

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 gradually
settling down until now 1t is IS feet
lower than that of its near neighbor, the
Black sea, which also lies far below the
level of the oceans. The common con-
clusion all along has been that the Cas-
plan was simply losing it's waters By
evaporation, but recent investigation
shows that this is not the case. Sound
ings made and compared with records
of soundings made over 100 years ago
reveal the astounding fact that there is
even a 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.

more orderly town in Canada or the

thirty days. There has been no disor-
der. no trouble or lawlessness of any

percentage of foreigners who go to

NO CLUE TO ROBBERY.
Appears that Someone Had Secreted them
selves in the Room.

Up to Saturday evening no clue had
been obtained to the party who had
helped themselves to Mr.. Charles
S%prague's money so mysteriously. It
appears that the day before the rob-
berry, MI. Sprague had been in the
DON and taken an article out of the
bureau and everything was all right.
On the morning after the robbery
Mrs. Sprague had swept the front
yard, so if there had been foot prints
they could not be found after that by
the police.
Mrs. Sprague, having occasion to go
into the front room afterwards, found
a bureau drawer on the floor and the
money gone. A good sized square
piece had been cut out Of the drawer
containing the money and 1t had been
opened in that way, as it was locked
and the key in possession of Mrs.
Sprague. it is said. She also found
one of the front windows open and

that someone must have secreted
themselves in the room and escaped
by the window, dropping in some way
to the ground and thereby running a
big risk of breaking their limbs, or,
they might have used a latter, as it is
said there is no covering to the stoop,
or posts to climb up by. Not another
