 He was gone but very few minutes' but in that time he had called doctor, rung for a messenger boy and sent telegram. The message was very sim ple one. It was addressed to David Lawler, in O Western city and read:
 "Will you come home to see your fa- ther? John Lawlor." The doctor Mir. Lawler called was not a cheap one.

weeks, was an unwilling guest at the

city rude shack of q building, with
canvas partitions. the greater part

gradually taking PLACE in the usually
benign textures Of the philosopher,
his Christian virtues gradually losing
control over him, until finally one day
he lost his temper completely and
swore at his dtsturbers 80 violently
that dared not believe my ears"
His wrath, however, did not cuimi-
nate until the third night Of his tor
lures. About 10 o'clock he got up and
Hmped into the barroom, where he
thus addressed the astonished tipplers:
IS ..Esriends,!I have been In pain and
without sleep for almost. week, and
I am well nigh worn out. Now am
a guest at this hotel, pay high
price for my board and lodging and
am entitled to rest during the night.
But how can I get it with all this
noise going on in this place"
Then" adds Mr.. Willard, he ad-
dressed one Of the most pathetic up
peals 4 ever heard to those around him
to abandon their vicious ways and be-
come sober and Industrious. He spoke
for nearly an hour and was listened
to with rapt interest and the most
perfect respect He succeeded. too. in
his object The gambling stopped. and
the bar was closed every night at II
O'Clock as long as he remained"

THE CASPIAN SEA.

one OF the Remarkable Physical
Features of the Globe.
One of the most remarkable physical
features of the globe is the deep and
wide depression in the hollow of which
stands the Caspian sea and near to it
the sea of Aral. The Caspian is nearly
as large as France, and Its surface is
eightyfou feet below the level of the
Black sea. The sea OF Aral is nearly
as large as Ireland and is very little
over the sea level. Within recent geo.
logical times the vast expanse In which
these lakes are found was sea. Its
floor has been gradually raised. and the
waters filling the depressions are all
that Is left OF an ancient MedAterra-
mean. a strange feature of both bodies
OF water "a that although they receive
large rivers especially the Caspian.
Into which the volga, the Ural river
and scores OF streams from the eau
Sasus how, both have for many years
been getting shallower. Evapornt ton,
for they have no outlet, exceeds the In
Tow. But, for some climatic reason
probably, the sea of Aral and its neigh
Dor, Lake EBalkhash, have since 1891
been increasing in depth. Whereas the
Caspian, like the Dead sea, is very
salt, owing to the rate Of evaporation.
Ara1 and Balkhash are brackish only.
These remnants Of what was once
great sea opening into the ocean, as
the Mediterranean does now, still con-
tain marine fish and seals. Some of
the latter survive in the Aral and Bal
kal lakes, having gradually become
fitted for their habitat, though it is no
longer salt, but merely brackish, and,
in the case Of Baikal, actually fresh
