Speaking of mysterious tastes, that
of a man who was recently before the
magistrate at Greenwich is not very
easy of explanation. Three weeks ago
n legacy OF f130 was left to him. The
first thing he bought, il seems, was a
set OF billiard balls, and he now has
nothing else left to show for the E13O,
which has disappeared at the rate of
f43 Gs. Sd. weekly. Why billiard balls ?
IL is singular and rather interesting
form OF craving. 1t is perhaps true
that a billiard ball is one of the very
few perfect objects produced by man.
1t is all OF piece. it is thoroughly ho-
mogeneous as regards material, and IL
is, or should be, faultless in form. Yet
only strong strain of mysticism in
the character would account for man
hungering and thirsting for billiard
balls above all other earthly things

THE CASPIAN SEA.
One of the Remarkable Physical
Features of the Globe.

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
eightyfour 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. It's
noor has been gradually raised. and the
waters filling the depressions are all
that is left Of an ancient Mediterra-
mean. a strange feature of both bodies
OF water is that although they receive
large rivers. especially the Caspian.
into which the Volga, the Ural river
and scores of streams from the eau
casus flow, both have for many years
been getting shallower Evaporation.
for they have no outlet, exceeds the in
now. But, for some climatic reason
probably, the sea of Aral and its neigh
Dor, Lake Balkhash, have since 1891
been increasing in depth. Whereas the
Caspian, like the Dead sea. is very
salt owing TO the rate OF evaporation,
Aral and Balkhash are brackish only.
These remnants of what was once n
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
