SUBMERGED TOWN

MYSTERY OF THE BLACK SEA DIVERS WALK ANCIENT STREETS [By Telegraph—Prese Association—Copyri-’ t] Received Nov. 9, 8.45 p.m. LONDON Nov. 8. Russian divers employed by the Archaelogical Society of Moscow, were the first men for many centuries to walk the streets of the town of Chersones, just discovered beneath the Black Sea, ten miles west of Scbastopool and 75 yards from the shore. The divers found the ruins of a large number of buildings, the depths varying from 15 to 60 feet. The town is encircled by walls of the Greek type and belonging to the fourth century before Christ. Strabo, born 63 8.C., describes the town as inhabited in his day, but the date and manner of its submergence is unknown.
