On his last expedition DR.. Peters
gave employment to a homeless black
youth whom he took from the forest
and trained in the duties of a valet.
Thus his tent, where he kept his out
landish weapons, was always neat.
One day the boy brought an assegai
to DR. Peters.
~ found this, SIR" he said, Outside.
1t belongs to you. doesn't it?'
ut does" the explorer answered.
He had remarked the interest that
the boy took in his collection, and
therefore he added:
"You may keep that assegai. jerome.

The boy appeared properly grateful

have lost it in his tent. Therefore he
waited confidently for Jerome to re-

Sea Has Grown Deeper.
The phenomenon of the changes In
the level Of the sea is one which is
| well shown In the case of the Mcdter-
| ranean. NJ. Phi. Negris, in a recent bro,
! chure presented to the Academy of
| Sciences, furnishes interesting infOr-
nation Oh this point, it being apparent
that the sea has greatly increased in
depth as compared to ancient times.
Formerly bridge 1900 feet long
united Leucade to the continent To-
day 1t is submerged, but the founda-
| lions of the work were discovered
eleven feet beneath the surface. II
may therefore be concluded that since
the construction Of the bridge the sea
has risen at this point over nine feet
At Itea, in the bay Of Amphlssa
there has been observed n mole that is
also over nine feet beneath the sur.
face. At Rhenee there has been found
a completely submerged dock. evident
ly Of Roman construction, the depth
Of the sea above the dock at places be-
ing fully nine feet.
From all Of these facts one may con
clude that there has taken place an
important increase in the depth Of the
sea since the Roman period, the Medit
erranean having risen at least nins
feet in 1000 years.

Mystery of Craters.

Everybody who has seen n chart Of
the moon as drawn by astronomers
knows Of the curious, Irregular. ragged
rings which have been ca lied moon
craters" for many years.
Now astronomers have raised the
question whether or not they really are
the craters of extinct volcanoes, as has
been supposed for SO long. One Of them
asks:
How would the ocean bottoms of
the earth appear to a man in the moon
If all our seas were to disappear"
Exactly as the moon craters look to
u.s." is the answer.
So now some of the astronomers are
interested in the attempt to prove that
the moons curious surface is not at all
volcanic. and that the "craters" are
nothing more nor less than coral reefs
and the remains of other coral-like
structures which have been left high
and dry by the evaporation Of lunar
oceans.

following dialogue took place in the

upon his return from his victorious
cruise in February. 1881.
Mary LanGdon:

And unexcelled rtnown;

In drowsy Portsmouth town?

We toiled that summer day
When safe beneath the gun crowned hcat
The saucy Ranger lay.

So that your flag might wave.
