Thus the Baltic, between Gor- ; many and Sweden, is only 120 feet deep; r, and the Adriatic, between Venice and Trieste,, 180 feet. The greatest depth of the channel between France and England does not excned 300 feet, while to the southwest of Ireland, where the see u open the depth is more than 2,000 feet.

Some animals grow to be very old. Horned animals live shorter lives than those without horns. fierce long» er than timid, and amphibious longer than those that inhabit the air. The suuucious pikes exist, it is said, to an age of 1.30 years; the turtle is good for 100 years or more; and among birds the golden eagle han been known to live nearly 200 years, t while the shy and somber crow reaches the venerable age of a century. Passing up the scale to life of man, we find many re- corded instancea of longevity among the eltuuae Greeks and Romans.
