DEEP SEA LEVEL.
Ets Changes Illustrated In the Case
OF the Mediterranean.

Etz Changes Illustrated In the Case
OF the Mediterranean.
Changes in the level Of the sea are
well shown in the case Of the Meditar-
ranean. NJ. Ph. Negris in brochure
presented to the Academy Of Science
furnishes interesting information on
this point, it being apparent that the
sea has greatly increased in depth as
compared to ancient times. Formerly
q bridge 5000 feet long united Leucate
to the continent. Today it is sub
merged, but the foundations Of the
work were discovered eleven feet be-
meath the surface. It may therefore
be concluded that since the construc-
ton Of the bridge the sea has risen at
this point over nine feet.
In the bay Of Amphissa, Greece,
there has been observed a mole that is
over nine feet beneath the surface. AT
Rhense there has been found CON-
pletely submerged dock, evidently of
Roman construction, the depth Of 6e
sea above the dock at places being
fully nine feet
From all ce these facts one may con-
clude that there has taken place an I'm
portant Increase In the depth OF the
sea since th' Roman period, the Medt-
terralean having risen at least nine
feet in about 1000 years.

The first directory dates from 1895,

THE CURFEW BELL.

Originally RunE Morning and Even
ang to Give the Time OF Day.
The story Of the curfew was but the
unsupported assertion Of one historian
of the sixteenth century, which was
repeated in prose and poetry till it was
woven into the language. Like many
other legends, there is just grain OF
truth in it. but its suggested origin is
false, the derivation Of curfew is ero-
aeous, and the scutae shaped instu-
nents which supported the theory
Were quite different articles Of house
hold use.
Probably the word is derived not
srom couvre feu, cover fire, but from
carrefo1r, in old French spelling car
fou, from the Latin for crossroads, and
is the name Of the morning and even
ing bell, which originally sounded from
the crossroads or market places both
in France and England simply to give
the time Of day. It was and is rung at
4 or 6 o'clock in the morning and at s
o'clock in the evening. One inscription
on an old bell runs thus:
am called ye Curfue bell,
7 dngen at VIII OF more. ::
TO send ye ale to bedde,
=; And wake ye up at ~.
