The CASPIAN IA.
One OF the Remarkable Physical
Features Of the Globe.

One OF the Remarkable Physical
Features of the Globe.
! One Of the most remarkable physlcal
features Of the globe is the deep and
wide depression In the hollow Of which
stands the Caspian sea and near to It
the sea Of Aral. The Caspian is nearly
% 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
aoor has been gradually raised, and the
waters filing the depressions are all
that is left Of an ancient Mediterra-
mean. 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 eau
casus flow. both have for many years
been getting shallower. Evaporation
for they have no outlet, exceeds the in
flow. But, for some climatic reason
probably, the sea Of Aral and Its neigh
Dor, Lake Balkhash, have since 1891
been increasing in depth. Whereas til,
Caspian, like the Dead sea, is yer,
salt, owing to the rate of evaporation
Aral and Balkhash are brackish only
These remnants Of what was once
great sea opening into the ocean, a
the Mediterranean does now, still con
tain marine fish and seals. Some o
the latter survive in the Aral and Bal
1al lakes, having gradually becom
fitted for their habitat, though it is n
longer salt, but merely brackish, nnt
