breeding and exhibition of these

SEA OF AZOF.
1IJ 'Not Disappearing , But Is Rapidly
Silting Up.
One dispatch from Russia says
that the Spa of Azof is disappearing -
ing , and another that is drying up
This is startling news of a body
of water which is i the outlet for
millions , of bushels of Russian ex-
port wheat. Fortunately the re-
port iM not quite accurate.
The Sea of Azof is not drying up.
It is silting up , says the New York
Sun. , Its chief water receipts are
derived from that very dirty river ,
the DOll , which spreads millions
of tons of sediment a year over the
shallow floor of the sea. This : :
process has been going on for
man ' age and the alluvium from
the DOll has been l narrowing the
basin and raising the bed of the
sea.
