M. Ph. Negris, in a rec brochure presented to the Academy Sciences, furnishes us interesting formation on this point, it being ap ent that the sea has greatly incre: in depth as compared to ancient ti Formerly a bridge 3000 feet long united Leucade to the continent. To-day it is submerged, but the foundations of the work were discovered eleven feet beneath the surface. It may therefere be concluded that since the construc- tion of the bridge the sea has risen at this point over nine feet. At Itea, in the bay of Amphissa. there has been observed a mole that is also over nine feet beneath the surface. At Rhenee there has been found a completely sub- merged dock, evidently of Roman con- struction, the depth of the sea above the dock at places being fully nine feet. From all of these facts one may con- clude that there has taken place an | impoTtant increase in the depth of the sea since the Roman period, the Medi- terranean having risen at least nine feet in about two thousand years.—New Nork Tribune. e e A Call o Arms. The Rio Grande has changed its course and annexed a slice of Mexico to the United States. Even the floods and fields of democratic Texas are de bauched by the corrupting efforts of an imperialistic river. Thousands of sheep and goats find themselves un- der the fl>~ of stars and stripes with- out the consent of the governed. Na- ture has allied herself with the desper- ate ambitions of the administration to encroach upon the territory of a friend- 1y power. Most significantly, that power lles to the -~uth of us. Plainly the Rio Grande is a lawless, usurping, unconstitutional body of water, morally no better than the Republican party. The Parker Constitution Club should report upon thie case at once.—New York Sun. ——— Animals Not Immune. For the first time in the history of plague, says a correspondent from My- sore, the plague virus has been known tu affect the elephants. Recently one of the elephants belonging to the palace succumbed to the disease. A bullock, also of the palace, which was placed along with others within a hundred yards from the elephant, developed symptoms of plague almost simultane- ously and is yet lingering. This proves beyond doubt that quadrupeds and all demestic animals are not immune from Returns from 8§1 precincts In lnll-] plague infection—Bombay Gazetts,
