Spelling and Pronunciation of Saghalien

The name of that large island, which has been divided between Russia and Japan by the treaty of peace, is spelled "Saghalien," and is pronounced Sa-ga-leen. In both cases "a" has the Italian sound, as "a" in "far." This is given on the authority of the "Standard Dictionary" and Lippincott's "Gazetteer of the World."
