A SUBMERGED CITY.
Owing to the occasional damage done to the fishermen’s nets, by what appeared to be fragments of masonary in the sea off the Italian peninsula of Isti-ia, the city authorities of Robin go sent down a diver the other day to investigate, At a depth of 90 feet he found himself in a submerged city, with streets and squares laid out, the doors and windows of the half-ruined houses being almost hidden by masses of seaweed.. Archaeologists identify this lost city with the island and eity. of Cissa, described by Pliny, of which no traces had been found since the days of the Caesars.
