Tho French newspapers publish a report by Mr. Lemason, chief engineer to the .Suez Canal Company, on tho currents produced iu tho canal by tho action of the tides and winds. From this it appears that between October and May, when southerly breezes prevail, tho Red Sea is higher than the Mediterranean by about a foot, and itis calculated that about 400,000,000 metres of water are discharged into the Mediterranean in this way. On* the other hand, from May to October, the wind is principally from tho north or northwest, and the current being reversed, the Red Sea sinks In level. From tho soundings made iu the brine lakes it seems that the salt bank, whose existence recently excited attention, is in process of decay; so that all fears as to the filling up of the channel by * deposits of salt may be dismissed.
