sunken Eorest Uncovered.

A pre-h historic forest has been brought to light by the recent stormy weather and heavy seas at FreshWater West on the south Pembrokeshire coast. The action of the waves has resulted in the washing away of great quantities of sand, there is now eX- posed to view a sunken forest of about quarter of an acre in extent
 Where there was a stretch of un- broken yellow sand there is now a mass of black rocks and huge, black, Enarled trees, with their roots embed ded in the rocks and earth The trunks of these trees in many eases are in splendid preservation. In some cases the wood has simply changed color. while in others it is of the ma ture of coal Most of the trunks are encrusted with sandstone, and 1t is probably due 10 this that they are so well preserved.
 It is evident that at some far d1s- tant period the land of this place was covered with a dense forest, and that there was either subsistence or that the water undermined the cliffs and that there was a huge landslide, which led to a large tract being engulfed by the sea This was again covered with a layer of sand, only to be laid bare once more.-London Standard.

DELEGATE RETURNS
 FROM CONSERVATION CONGRESS
A. 4. Browning Tells of Gloom in Now
 York Over the Titanic.

A. A. Browning, one of the Norwich delegates to the Christian Conserva- ton congress in New York returned Monday from several days attending the congress.
 One of the impressive facts about the convention, said MT. Browning. is the wide extent of territory from which 1t attracts delegates, as men are met with from Winnipeg, the far west, the extreme south. and every section of the county.
 Two of the speakers whom he heard with particular interest were William B. Bryan and Gypsy Smith. New York is still overshadowed by the terrible disaster to the Titanic, which is the talk in the streets everywhere and has even touched the conservation congress, since William T. Stead, who went down with the Titanic, was to have spoken before the congress on Monday night. Instead the meeting was a memorial service.

saIt in thn nead Sna

In shape the Dead sea resembles an elongated oval, some 47 miles long and about 10 miles wide at it's great est breadth. One of the most remark able facts about it is that it's surface lies 1900 feet below that of the Med iterranean and as it is some 1,310 feet deep in places, it means that it's great est depth reaches point no less than 2,600 feet below the waters of the Mediterranean. It is famed for the saltness and bitterness of it's waters, which are extremely dense, containing 23 per cent. of solid matter, and being, bulk for bulk, heavier than the human body. How dense the water is may be realized from the following facts: IT. ton of water from the Caspian sea there are Il pounds of salt: in the Baltic. IS pounds; in the Black sea. 26 pounds: in the Atlantic 31 pounds in the English channel, 72 pounds: in the Red sea. 9S pounds. and in the Dead sea 1s7 pounds.-Wide World Magazine.
