A little while ago the Russians. in the ' course of explorations around the sea, dis- ' covered a new lake whose waters are sweet thouahit has no outlet. It occupies a part of the depression which was found during the Khiva Campaign. A narrow istLmus separates it from the sea. Sever- al hypotheses have been advanced to,` ac- count for its presence where previous _ex `plorers failedto see it. The most reason- able congeoture seems to be that of Mr. Edourd lanc, who, in a recent address before the Paris Geographical Society, ex- pressed the opinion that in recent years, during some great ood in the Oxus, such as the enormous freshet of 1878, when a great mass of Olcus water was diverted far toward the Caspian Sea, a considerable portion of this ood swept north-west in- the depression of, the Aibu- Ghir, excavat- ing a channel and throwing up a bar be- fore it from the Aral Sea. After the fall of waters, the channel which the rapid current had dug still connected with the marshes of the lower Oxus, and new car- ries a part of that river into the new lake.

The very curious hypothesis by which the meagre salinity of the Csspisn and Aral Seas is explained is also supposed to ac- count for the sweet water of the new lake. The Caspian. and Aral Seas are merely brackish. Around these shores are ,a number, of large gulfs almost land locked, and therefore nearly separated from the __ FIVL- J.....LL l\` -usbnn :n I-Mann nnlfa B110. bnermuru uuuxny nuyounuvu u.u..... nu. seas.

The water never emerges into the seas again, b_ut disap- l throughevaporation, leaving saline deposits. The Aral and Caspian Seas, therefore, are constantly losing saline mat- ter deposited in these greatinlets, while they are. receiving water with very little salinity, and it is supposed that the saline matter received by the new fresh-water lake is eliminated in a similar manner. lI'\I._ __L___.__-.._ _..1 Akunnwna din 18KB 15 uuuuuuouu Lu In Iulnucu. u.unuuu- .

Webster s Interna- tional Dictionary contains many thou- sands of words that are not to be found in the vocabulary of the great English lexicographer, and these words apply to new discoveries, arts and processes, to which it was absolutely necessary to give distinguishing names. The nomenclature of science has been immensely extended within the last fty years; and although some of the new terms are rather far- fetched and, except to classical scholars, obscure, many of them are so pat and sig- nthcant that we can all undirstand their meaning. Whenever plain and , simple words of Saxon derivation will ap- ply, we think they ought to have the pre- ference, even in scientic technology, over those of Greek or Latin origin. In-' formation for the people should be couch- ed, whenever possible, in language which ~the- great body of the people can easily comprehend. If certainly should. not be necessary for a boy to be versed in the dead languages in order to understand his own. It has been said that the languages which most readily welcome the terms that advancing knowledge needs are like- ly to endure the longest and spread the most extensively. ` If this theory is true, our own tongue has the best_ chance of becoming universal, and it may be reason- ably supposed that the last man will pronounce his valedictory in `English ! -A ,' .now.'rnoy 'l`axlnG0i'!I|8II!- - :A German-Amerionn` who as few years ago returned to Berlin to enRi8 in b'i" "nan, gives the following table of taxes ' called to ny out of an 13:13: fnrome of 1`(,)(g(I)`0 mg:-ks under the gay income` tax regulntion.-` State in- --- .L-....: QIII can-`PAW niliv diff- I; no wounu unvu nu. .........,. __ to pay "the ilnpo oflohool taxes `AI-`nm_.g`,~,:/3 ~. . _, .` 1- :;` . .5 II not thy splgu - -` A Flveundred Dollars `Elly. 3" `%PROMuTEs. j.nvssm~. goou u- an right, or git so nu sew like: ter me. come an d quivered. dem she hardening 0 9 !`eery an it rain, mb pic like I uster, but, laws, `D011 de torrer 10.

When a ' Chinaman is sick, one of his friends goes to the temple of the "God of Medicine, familiarly known as the ` doctor," and having first tickled the idol s ears to se- cure its attention, proceeds to rub that portion of its bronze or wooden carcass corresponding to the sficted part of the invalid. He then puts up in a red paper some ashes taken from a censer burning before] the image and carrieslthom to the sick person s room, where" they are wor- shiped daily until the latter recovers or joins his ancestors. As it" is supposed that his disease is caused by the enmity of some departed spirit, ten men are hired to become security for the pa- tient. These ten bondsmen guarantee to `the offended tenants of the land of- shadows that the invalid shall do nothing further to offend him, in case he is per- mitted to recover. If he dies, the ten kings of hell are respectfully -informed of his decease, with a view` of propitiat- ing their internal msjesties.

In fact, coaxing, wheedling, bribing and cheating the powers-diabolical seem to be the principal objects of all celes- tial devotees. They have an eye to `economy, too, in their cermonies `for the benet of the dead. Believing -that the deceased may need funds and clothing in the other world, and that it will matter little in a future state whether his bank account is kept in redeemable money or the queer," whether his garments are` silk or . shoddy, they sacrice at his shrine forged paper and mock raiment. This is treating both the departed and the gods rather shabbily, but it saves expense and is supposed to answer the desired end. 'lhe Chinese are so fond of trickery that they take innite. pleasure in shav- ing the ghosts" of their friends and all their. deities and demons. 1-\ ___:L_ LL- -3-uunlnil nhlnfiti Of theiraemes and demons. Despite the singular absurdities of Buddhism and Taoism, the two principal ` religious creeds of the Chinese, we must not call them barbarians. They had a printed literature when our progenitors roamed the wilderness clothed in the skinsof beasts, and are said to have made gunpowder before the age of iron had commenced in Europe. But they are not a progressive people. Just what they were three thousands years ago they would probably have been to the end of time, if we qo-ahead Christians had not broken forcibly ~ into their sealed-up empire, and taught them a thing or iVn>npi1-e, two.
