He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912,his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.

But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer.

Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared the

DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years."

汉语遭遇“喀斯特”
  ①我对汉语中与洞有关的词汇很感兴趣。
  ②“水滴石穿”这个成语无人不晓。人们一般以为水滴石穿是一个机械的过程:水从高处落下的力量,对石头不断地造成侵蚀,日积月累,就把石头给滴穿了。如果水滴落在非石灰岩的岩石上,这种理解是对的,但如果水滴到了石灰岩上,这种理解就不对了。
  ③石灰岩在地表上分布很广。在我国,裸露石灰岩的分布面积占地表的四分之一,因此水滴到石灰岩上是很普遍的一种现象。水吸收和溶解了空气中的二氧化碳,与石灰岩反应,生成了新的可溶于水的物质。水滴不断地滴下来,不断地溶蚀石灰岩,并把溶蚀的物质冲走,这个过程称之为喀斯特作用。
  ④水滴石穿在很多情况下是一个化学过程,而不仅仅是一个物理的过程。化学反应的进行速度比机械的磨蚀要快得多。长江三峡地区就是一个石灰岩地区,仅靠水流的机械冲刷和磨蚀作用,四川盆地现在恐怕还是泽国。一定是发生了喀斯特作用,才把三峡切穿了,让四川盆地的众多水系有了一个出口,夺路而出。
  ⑤对于喀斯特作用形成的洞穴,汉语言有着精妙的解说。古人举着火把进入洞穴,感到眼前的事物越来越清晰,就有了“洞明”“洞察”;洞给人深不可测的感觉,因此引申出思想和见解的深刻、深邃,这就是“洞见”“洞晓”。然而“洞开”“洞庭”中“洞”的意思却完全不同。“洞开”是大开、大敞之意,如“门户洞开”;“洞庭”中的“洞”字有宽敞、开阔之意,洞庭湖就是广阔的湖的意思。
  ⑥为什么“洞”字可以表达大开大敞的意思?读一下古人游记中对洞穴的描写,似乎有一个普遍现象,就是大多有“先经过一个狭小的口子,接着见到一个豁然开朗的大厅”的细节。洞穴中多大厅,有的大得不可思议。比如广西乐业的一个洞中大厅——红玫瑰大厅长300米,宽200米,最高处达260米,这规模与人民大会堂相当,但高度要高多了。如此大的洞庭,当然可以说“洞开”啦。
  ⑦洞中的大厅是怎样形成的?原来洞穴在发育的过程中,由于岩层中有夹层,岩性不一样,或岩层有各种节理和裂隙,再加上有倾斜的角度,这样洞穴发展到一定程度,由于重力作用,洞顶的岩石会发生塌陷。随着塌陷愈演愈烈,地下河又不断地运走塌下的物质,洞中的厅堂就越来越大,大厅就形成了。洞中的厅堂继续发展,洞顶越来越薄,最后彻底塌陷,大厅露出地表,这时大厅就成了喀斯特地貌中的所谓“天坑”。
  ⑧说起天坑,我又想起陶渊明的名作《桃花源记》,我猜想武陵渔人进入的“桃花源”应该就是一处天坑吧。
