SINKING Of the CASPIAN Sea.

Biologists claim that the Caspian
sea is continually sinking. Known to
all schoolboys as the largest interior
body of water in the world, the Cas-
plan is about 730 miles in greatest
length and $50 miles in extreme width.
Its area is estimated to be 17OO00
square miles, while the area of Eng
land and Wales is $1,000 odd square
miles. These figures give clear idea
Of the size of the Caspian. Notwith-
standing its size, parts of the sea are
very shallow. In the southern portions,
however. a depth of over 5000 feet
has been registered. Our physical
geography tells us that the present sea
is part of a vast oceanic water which

Thirteenth Century Fire Prevention.

thirteenth century FlFe FFeNShtioHs
One wonders what fate would have
overtaken the captured starter of fires
in thirteenth century London. for
after the blaze of 1912, which lasted
ten days. swallowed up part OF Lon
don bridge and was the cause of over
1000 deaths, every precaution was
taken against fires. For instance. all
builders of houses were ordered TO
roof them with tiles. single boards or
lead, and to stop an outbreak any
house could be pulled down. Thus, Mr..
H. B. wheatley on the safeguards:
For the speedy removal Of burning
houses each ward was to provide a
strong iron hook with a wooden han
die. two chains and two strong cords,
which were to be left with the bedel
OF the ward. who was also provided
with a good horn loudly sounding :"
And. moreover, every householder was
ordered to keep a barrel of water be-
fore his door.-London Standard

a LEGEND OF MEXICO.

Coat of Arms.

Origin of the Eagle and Serpent on Its
Coat Of Arms.
The coat of arms of the republic of
Mexico, which occupies the center or
white bar of the flag and consists of
a beautiful device representing an eagle
perched upon a cactus what in Mex
leo is called nopall devouring a SER
pent. is intimately connected with the
history of the people, In the begin
ming of the fourteenth century the an
Gent Mexicans, or Aztecs, after wa
dering for a long time around the
Mexican valley looking for a place to
build their city. arrived after terrible
sufferings and adventures on the south
western border of Lake Tezcoco in
1925.
There they halted, for in front Of
them they beheld what naturally they
considered an suspicious omen from
their gods. An immense royal eagle of
extraordinary size and beauty stood
upon cactus growing in the crevice
of rock washed by the waves of the
lake. In its talons it held serpent,
and its broad. beautiful wings opened
to the rising sun.
Obeying the mandate of their oracle
that there they should build their city,
they set to work. and by driving piles
into the marshes with no other mate
rial at hand but frail reeds and rushes
the foundations of the great Tenochit-
Ian, the chief city Of the Aztecs and
the site of the modem City of Mexico,

ders for the lovers of history. One Of
its treasures is a map Of North and

explanation Of it: Catherine de Medi-

of Francois Il, Charles l. and Henri

the two Americas. She even named
vicerovs. one for North America and
the other for South America. They
