CASPIAN SEA DISAPPEARING.
Has No Outlet, But Waters Are Re-
ceding, Supposedly Through
Evaporation.

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 it
the Sea of Aral. The Caspian is near
ly as large as France and it's surface
is "a 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.
graphical 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 that is left of an ancient Mediter-
ranean.
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, exceeded the
inflow. But, for some climatic reason
probably. Lake Aral and its neigh
Dor, Lake Balkhash, have since 1891
been increasing in depth. Nature re-
ports that M. Berg visited 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 brackish only. These
remnants of what was once great
sea opening into the ocean, as the
Mediterranean does now, still contain
marine fish and seal. Some of the lat
ter survive in the Aral and Baikal
lakes, having gradually become fitted
for their habitat, though it is no longer
salt, but merely brackish, and in the
case of Baikal actually fresh water.
Courage of Race Horses.
Horses painfully contend on the race
track for victory out of their own ma
tive courage and ambition-not under
punishment, for, as rule, the cour-
ageous horse will STOP" or "shut
up" as the technical phrase is, when
whipped or spurred at the finish of a
race. In California, some years ago,
running horse broke one of the bones
in foreleg near the close of a heat,
perhaps 70 yards from the wire. He
faltered for moment and then, recov-
ering himself by mighty effort, strug-
gled on and won the heat. practically

CART divorce trial is near its end. Each
side has its story in. and the scales,
heaped full, hang in balance awaiting
the decision.
NO one can foretell what the findings
in this case will be-" is the statement
of a prominent attorney here who has
followed the progress of the case from
its beginning, longer than five weeks
ago. "A probable decision is that Judge
