A few mornligs ago people who reside on the road between Afton lake and the Susquehanna river, near N. Y were .astonished when they went out of doors to see that during the night the land for a distance of an eighth of a mile had dropped from 15 to 20 feet. The sunken portion varied In width from a few feci to several rods. The trees and shrubbery on the sunken land remain standing Just as before. Fortunatoly there were no buildings on this particular strip, although thsre were seme near it. The theory is advanced that there Is a subterranean river beneath the land there. Such a condition would solve the problem of the outlet of Afton lake, which has always been a subject of much discussion. New York Sun.

The most spoken language is Chinese; but as there are so many dialects In the language, and as these differ so greatly in the confines of Mongolia and Tibet from those around Pekin, It is scarcely correct to say that Celestials all speak one lan' guage. Putting, therefore, China aside, the most spoken languages In the world are as follows, In millions: English, 120; German, 70; Russian, 68; If we Spanish, 44; Portuguese, 32. weye to measure these In katlo on a two-forule, we should get the following results: Portuguese, 4 Inches; Inches; Russian, 8V4 Spanish, 5 inches; English, inches; German, 8 1 foot 3 Inches.
