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 the
Caspian sea, and near TO It 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 geological times the vast expanse In
which these lakes are found was sea. It's
floor has been gradually raised, and the
waters filling the depressions 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 shalIower Evap-
grafton. for they have no outlet, exceeded
the inflow. But, for some climatic reason
probably, Lake Aral and its neighbor Lake
BaIkhash, have since 1891 been increasing
in depth. Nature reports that NJ Berg Wis.,
tied Lake Balkhash last summer and found
that the level was rising with comparative
rapidity. Whereas the Caspian, like the
Dead sea, Is very salt, owing to the rate Of
evaporation, Aral and Balkhash are brack-
ish only. These remnants of what was
once a great sea opening into the ocean as
marine fish and SEALS Some of the latter
survive in the Aral and Baikal lakes, hav-
ing gradually become fitted for their flabi-
tat though 1t Is no longer salt, but merely
brackish, and in the case of Baikal actu-
ally fresh water.

The Jumel Mansion.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

FrOm the BROOKLYN Eagle.
The final passing Of the Morris-JumeI
mansion into the custody Of the city Is q
more satisfactory circumstance than the
preservation of the old hall Of records
would have been. The old hall was OBJ
structive, 1t was ugly. 1t had been altered
out of recognition. and its history was
neither long nor pleasant The Jumel man
sion, on the contrary, is a fine specimen
of colonial architecture. surrounded by a
fine old garden, and 1t stands at a point
where it Is not likely to become an OBJ
struction to the So-called improvements
which are ravaging the town. 1t was the
headquarters of Washington during the
skirmishing on Harlem Heights, that fol-
lowed the retreat of the American army
after the disastrous battle in Brooklyn: it
was the home of the generals former sweet
heart; 1t afterward came into possession of
Madame Jumel, who shared 1t for time
with Aaron Burr; thus it instances tradi-
ton and history. 1t will be converted into
a museum for the preservation of relics,
but it is the best museum in itself. 1t is
a landmark from which we date our de-
parture, and probably our progress, in the
building of cities and the extension of COM
of practical usefulness, but because of its
beauty and the need to keep few yards
of Manhattan free from shops and fats
There are several rival claimants for the
mansion, various sons. daughters. nephews
and nieces of the revolution and the colon
lists wrangling for precedence, so the easy
settlement of their claims Is to give 1t to
none of them, but let 1t pass to the park
department.

The Corinthian Canal,
From Comfort.

Speaking of canals" said the engineer
who had been talking about Panama, "a
very interesting canal, and one not much
heard Of. is that connecting the gulf OF
Corinth and the gulf of Aegina, in Greece.
It's some older than any we have In the
western hemisphere. also. for Periander,
tyrant of Corinth proposed to cut through
the isthmus as long ago as six hundred
years before Christ. Superstition stopped
him. however. Julius Caesar and Caligula
took 1t up again when Rome had hold of
Greece. but 1t was too much for them.
Then came Nero. and he went at It with
vigor. but the work stopped when he died
Others kept pounding away at 1t for the
next several hundred years, but It was not
until 1881 that real work of the Nero en-
ergy was put upon 1t. Then General TURF,
a1d-de-camp to Victor Emmanuel of Italy
organized company and worked on till
the money gave out in 1880, the chief OBJ
stacle being some kind of flint which
dynamite couldn't break.
About 100000 was spent up to 1890
and then Mr.. Syngros took hold. organized
a new company with $685., 600 working cap
ital. and finished the Job in 1893. 1t is only,
about four miles long, but 1t is sixty-nine
feet wide at bottom, about eighty at water
line, tweity-six feet and three inches deep
In water, ard 1t Is cut nearly all the way
through solid rock. rising at some points
for $50 feet above the canal. 1t is like a
canyon. and ships do not take kindly to IL.
the entrance being bad, strong wind
blowing through 1t as through a great air
shaft, and there Is at times strong reverse
current. It IS an interesting trip through
the canal. and 1t saves 123 miles of very
rough water and twenty hours of time; but
so far shippers prefer to go around the
peninsula rather than through the canal
though with some changes which will be
made 1t is believed the canal will become
of general use as soon as a few ships begin
to use 1t and remove the prejudice now en-.
listing against it."

Marsh Shooting.

From Harpers Weekly.
One sad feature of marsh shooting is the
destruction of herons and the larger marsh
birds. Only rigid adherence to decency
of conduct can prevent that for it is, after
all, sometimes temptation on a blank
day. But 1t is wrong. all wrong; and
unless a man sticks to the principle that
nothing except game bird is excuse for
shooting our marshes will lose some OF
their most picturesque and beautiful in

what damage the latter birds do, and also

green heron. Yet I have no desire to

no wish to fish in solitary hoggish comfort.
Where herons and kingfishers become too
numerous, there is no reason why their
numbers should not be thinned out. But
as for a wild and general fusilade upon
the appearance of these birds, it is brutal
and needless. and policy which never
can appeal to me-

Crusade Against Narcotics.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

from tne CnlcagO RECORD Herald
At the last session Of the Illinois general
assembly a law was passed prohibiting the
sale of cocaine in any FORM except on ply
sician's prescription, and the state board Of
pharmacy is now engaged in putting It into
effect. At about the same time Georgia,
Pennsylvania and Texas also passed anti
cocaine or anti-narcotic laws. and twelve
or fifteen of the states all told have now
placed such legislation on their statute
books. The campaign against these drugs
has been taken up with very great vigor by
the American Pharmaceutical Association
and will be waged on a national scale. A
stringent law has been drafted, which has
already been introduced into Congress as
part of the general poison bill by Repre-
sentative Robinson of Indiana. Substan-
TALLY the same law will be presented for
the consideration of every state legislature
that meets this winter. The campaign is to
be continued until by both state and ma
tional legislation the entire country is pro-
tected as fully as legislation can protect
1t against cocaine, morphine and all their
ilk.
The movement deserves hearty support
and thoroughgoing success Druggists and
physicians generally are in favor of 1t. for

except the victims themselves. the ravages
which these drugs can cause. There are
black sheep druggists who are willing TO
ruin the bodies and souls Of all their Gus
toners for a few pennies of profit. They
deserve no sympathy from any one, and
the more vigorously they are prosecuted
and the more severely they are punished
the better 1t viii be for the community.
