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 II
the sea of Aral. The Caspian is nearly
as large as France, and its surface is
eighty-four 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

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 fiow, both have for many years
been getting shallower. Evaporation
for they have no outlet, exceeds the In
dow. But, for some climatic reason
probably, the sea of AraI 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 a
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

fitted for their habitat. though it is no
longer salt, but merely brackish, and.

REFUSES
AN OFFER OF LAND
Rejects Proposition to Pur-
chase a West Side Block
for $4,000.

ut strikes me that if you gentlemen
should conduct your private business as
some of you are apparently disposed to
conduct public affairs you would soon be
in the hands of receivers said Assem-
blyman Schiffmann last night from the
chair of president of the assembly.
The matter under consideration was the
proposition of the ST. Paul White Lead
and Oil company to purchase a block of
land 270 by $50 feet, now owned by the
city and leased to the oil company, for
$4,000 AT present the company pays the
city 81 a year rental, the lease having
about twelve years to run. The property
Is on the West side and has trackage ia
cilities.
Assemblyman Haas objected to such a
bargain with some vigor, asserting that he
belIeved that the property is worth from
offered, and he believed that if the sale
is to be made, it should be on the basis
of the real value of the property. The
best way to reach a conclusion as to the
ers familiar with the conditions. He be-
lieved that the trackage facilities were
worth the price offered.
DR.. Schiffmann suggested that it did
seem queer that the city should even con-
template selling the property for the price
stated IN view of what had been paid
the Wageners for the Wabasha bridge
approach. and the price given by the
Omaha road for property in the same vi
cinity. He concluded with the assertion
already quoted
This matter has been reported on ia
vOrably by Mr.. Rosen," asserted Assem-
blyman Schumacher, ''and he certainly
owns as much property on the West side
and is as familiar with values as is the
president of this body. His recommen-
dation should be adopted
THE fact that Mr.. Rosen owns more
property than do is conceded, but that
cuts no ice," asserted DR.. Schiffmann.
o11,i1o oI hot h 1,o1
ported in favor of making the sale be-
cause he felt that it would be better for
the city to secure the $4,000 and be able
to tax the property hereafter than to go
twelve years.
The ordinance authorizing the sale was
ultimately sent back to the committee on
streets, with the understanding that the
suggestion of Mr.. Haas would be carried
out and an appraisement of the property
made.

TEN-MINUTE SERVICE
ON MERRIAM PARK LINE
Assembly Passes Ordinance Notwith-
standing WheeIer's Protest.

Assemblyman Wheeler failed to defeat
the ordinance ordering a minute street
car service to Merriam Park at the ses-
sion OF the upper branch of the city coun-
Gil last evening The vote on the passage
was to 2, Messrs. Rosen and Wheeler
voting in the negative. The mayors sig
nature is all that is needed.
Mr.. Wheeler urged the defeat of the
ordinance, arguing that it had been in
troduced in the board of aldermen to kill
the proposed extension of the Selby short
line from ChatsWorth to Griggs street.
AS he had introduced the extension reso-
luton he thought that the members of the
assembly should stand by him and re-
fuse to pass the ordinance desired by the
Merriam Park people until the board of
aldermen had passed the other measure.
Gentlemen, you are being worked he
asserted, land [ want to warn you. Lay
this matter over until the aldermen have
acted and then / will vote for it,
Aid. Elder argued that the Merriam
Park ordinance should not be confused
with the extension of the Selby short
line, as he had no intention of prevent
ing the passage of the extension ordinance
when he introduced the Merriam Park
measure.
Elder voted against improved street
car service on the Grand avenue line,
asserted Assemblyman Schumacher, and
some of his constituents told me that he
was a prevaricator when he said that
they were satisfied with a twenty minute
service.
