FROM The Hospital.
Yet one more example of the ridiculous
lengths to which vanity and weakness
may be tempted by the Establishments of
a quack appeared recently in the columns
OF daily paper. in the form of an article
purportlng to recount the sGfferings and
other experiences endured by a woman
who, not being satisfied with the beauty of
her complexion. had undergone the won
derfui operation of removing the skin
OF the face. However ii appears that
an altogether unaccountable attack of
modesty on the part of the operator in
6uceo her at the last moment to rest salts
fled with merely blistering off the epider-
mis- and leaving the skin behind
The method employed was as follows:
me lace was first painted with cocaine to
deaden the smart Ga procedure which of
itself displays the ignorance of the on
orator., and then smeared over with bIis-
tering fluid and covered with strips of
plaster AS one might have imagined tho
result of this socalled identifying pro-
cess was we are told. painful in the ex-
IRENE the face swelling to twice it's natu-
raj size and the patient having to axe her
tea from feeding cup, as her mouth
seemed to have disappeared"
We fancy that no one in the possession
of her mental faculties would be likely at
any rate after reading the article referred
to, to present herself as a candidate for
such an operation. But vanity is strange
leader. and, therefore, it may be as well
to point out, for the benefit of those who
are disposed to be disconnected with their
own natural charms, that the operation of
having the face blistered all over is at
tended with grave dangers of erysipeias
and other infections, and, moreover, that
the skin more augmented than it was be-
fore.

The Caspian Sea.

From the London Telegraph.
One of the most remarkable physical fea-
lures of the globe is the deep and wide de-
preston in the hollow of which stands in
the Caspian sea, and near to it the Sea of
Aral. The Caspian is nearly as large as
France, and it's surface is eighty-four fe It
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 re-
cent geological times the vast expanse in
which these lakes are found was sea Its
floor has been gradually raised and the
waters filling the depress.ons are all that is
left of an ancient Mediterranean 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 Caucasus flow both have
for many years been getting shallower
Evaporation, for they have no outlet ex-
ceeds the inflow. But, for some climatic
reason probably, like Lake Aral and its
neighbor, Lake Balkhash, have since 1871
been increasing in depth. Nature reports
that M. Berg visited Lake Balkha sh last
summer, and found that the level was rs-
ing with comparative rapidity. 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 a great
sea opening into the ocean, as the Mediter-
ranean does now, still contain mlr.ne fish
and seals. Some of the latter suryive in

ually become fitted for their habitat

Notes of Books and Authors.

1.-The Wings of the Morning." the story
which is now appearing serially in The
Star, has attracted such widespread atten-
ton that considerable curiosity has arisen
as to it's author Many inquiries have been
made of the publishers. T.. j. Clode & CO.
which house. by the way, is the latest ar
rival in the metropolitan publishing field
but without eiiciting much satisfactory in
formation. for il appears that Mr.. Tracy Is
somewhat of an unknown quantity even in
the house of his printers. There is no mys-
terry about his identity. however. His name
is in fact Louis Tracy, and he is an English
newspaper man. He was educated in France,
went into journalism. spent six years in
the east and owned and edited newspapers
in India and England. In 1894 he bought,
in conjunction with the Harmsworths. the
Evening News of London. The thing of
which Mr.. Tracy is proudest is not his
newspaper work nor his book but the
fact that in the winter OF 1894 he. unaided
ran twenty-siX soup kitchens for six weeks
spent f3.GoO and fed one and Il half mil
lions of hungry London folk. A new story
from his pen has lately been announced
One of the spring fiction announcements
of special interest Is that by the Double
day-Page press concerning the early ap-
pcarance of The Gordon Elopement'
novel which from its ADVANCE descriptions
should attract a wide circle of readers i'm
mediately. 1t Dis the joint product of Miss
Carolyn Wells, who is of the best
known of the contributors of humorous
matters to the periodicals. and Mr.. Harry

Their theme is the eiopement of a young
married couple in order to avoid .; food
of visitors This escapade causes great ex-
element at the hotel where they seek ref
uge and many complications ensue which
it is said, are treated by the authors with
a humor which Is strongly favored with
the genuine Stocktonian quality. Miss Wells
insists that the word Gordon In the title
is really an adjective, meaning running;
away with ones own wife. She declares
that the sect that the hero of this partici,.
lar story is named Gordon is merely a CO.
incidence.
