I he mighty caves of the ocean , have . been to some extent * surveyed, 1 I J * j and the very creatures that dwell in | them havo become newly familiar to science. In starting to take a walk over thc floor of thc ocean perhaps it would bo as much fun as any other plan to set out from San Francisco for a view of the Pacific's bed. Fur thc first twoty.nme miles of thc journey westward foLcd you will pmecci over . level plateau of detritus, which the river water has cast out through thc Golden Gate for a thou¬ sand centuries. The depth of tho sea for that distance is only about 200 feet, but at the end of i! the bottom drops [suddenly to two and a half miles.* To get to the foot of this tremendous hill is likely to bo difficult, inasmuch as you must climb from a greater relative alti¬ tude and by a much steeper incline than that by which the traveler passes from the summit of the Sierra Nevada range to tho valley of California below at Sac¬ ramento. As you go down you will experience a cold that becomes steadily more intense, aud tho pressure of water from above, which makes tho cold, grasps you with such a mighty grip that your fluid body would bo crushed to a jelly in its embrace wore you not protected by armor of immense resisting power. With¬ out such an equipment, as well as a store of air and a powerful light, there is no use in your attempting to explore the ocean’s abysses. At the foot of tho great declivity you will find a seemingly interminable plain, like a prairie. It is thc beginning of the floor of the Pacific, which is for the most part so wonderfully level that you could drive over it with the utmost comfort in n light carriage, were thc water all taken away. As you proceed westward,though the slope is so smooth and gradual that youMo not notice it, the bottom descends »t a slight incline until, at 500 miles from the land, the surface of the ocean is three miles and a half above your head. This is the normal depth of the vast Pacific plateau. You travel over it for another 500 miles, when you come upon a gigan¬ tic mountain which towers up from the ocean floor to the height of three miles. Its existencer has only been ascertained by soundings, because half a mile of sea water flows over it. \ ou might follow tlie same dead level, now and thou coming across an isolated leumon, all the lyay across to Asia, 10, At t nu es further, if you liked.

Theil eyes arc so big in order that they may catch every possible ray of light. It is true that in these abysses there is nc light whatever that is of day, but foi that reason, inasmuch as it is necessary to sec in order to pursue, their prey, these predatory monsters carry phosphorescent torches on their heads, with which nature has provided them. Some of them do, that is, while others have luminous spots upon their sides. These lights serve them not on], for purpose, of .Won, but also as bnit wherewith to attract victims. *»"»•>'* •?the ncthermort sleep P«'« -then it is understood that certain ‘ can other fl,l,« tenor even twelve . , tunes as .. big as themselves, ,, , the glutton ... literally , , ,, climbing and ! over around the one swallowed, first with one jaw and then with the other.

On your way over the bed of the At¬ lantic to New Yoik you may turn aside, perhaps to look into one of tho deepest sea holes that can be found in the world, immediately north of Porto Rico, where the ocean floor takes a sudden dip into n gulf more than five miles below what is now the surface of the water. It is ex¬ traordinary how these West Indian Is¬ lands rise precipitously from these depths uplifting their mountains miles high out of the sea. South of Cuba, in the Car ribcan Sea, is a hole much bigger than the one north of Porto Rico, which forms an elongated valley nearly sixa nd a hail miles deep. This is believed to the deep¬ est of all the valleys of the ocean. Among other surprising things you would come across the Bermudas, may be 900 miles due east from Charleston, which are thc peaks of mighty hills risiug abruptly out of the midst of the great flat ocean plain. Upon reaching the edge of the North American Continent, about 150 miles southeast of New York City, after a pretty steep climb from the three-mile depth, you find yourself in the shallows, following the line of a tremendous gorge (ft)0 feet deep which the Hudson Rivet has cut out in making its way to the ocean beyond. All you have to do is tc pursue this until you find yourself at the foot of Manhattan Island, •where you will doubtless consider it a relief to get upon dry land again and seek the nearest first class hotel.— Washington Star.

How little we know 8 one day what may happen the next. For instance, yesterday Hugh had been to the postoffice in the morning and carne in to dinner with an open let¬ ter in his hand, which he gave to me, as he took his seat at the table. After I had poured Hugh’s coffee, and waited on the two boys, I read it. It was from Ellen Woods, Hugh’s cousin, who lives in Chicago. She wrote to say she was not feeling well; that the doctor bad advised her to get into the country, aud, as she was told the pant of our State where we lived was ve ry healthy, she was going to make us a visit; she would be with us on the 14tb, that was yesterday. “Why, Hugh!” I exclaimed, “that is to-day! She will be here this afternoon. ” “I suppose so,” said he; “cheek of her, anyway, to come up here now— when we are so busy—and lug along those young one3.” “How many has she, Hugh?” I quer ried anxiously. “I’m sure I don’t know; fc^ir or five, anyway,” he replied, with a grimace, as he helped himself to a second plate of beef. I had meant to rest in the afternoon, and read a new book rfter my dishes wcie done. I was going to let Ted and Bob go into the hayfield with their father, ami 1 anticipated a good time with my book. I had just my new hammock put up in the shade of the big maple north of the house, and all the morning I had thought of the comfort in store in the afternoon—but, here all was changed. To be sure, Ellen was no favorite of mine; in fact, I did not know her very well tfnywsy. When we were first mar ried and lived in Illinois, we were neigh bors of her folks, and I used to see her when she came home to visit, that was all. But I could not help that she was coming here, and coming that very day, and I must prepare for them. I did wonder how many there were. I had bread enough for ourselves—but not enough for company—part of a cake and a pie. I hurried my dishes, built up a big fire in the stove in the summer kitchen, made two big loaves of baking powder graham bread, made a lot of rhubarb pies, and a layer cake, then I thought, as I had a good tire, I would make some cookies; 1 baked a four-gallon jar full, and when they were done 1 was about as well cooked as they were;, my head ached lind my fett were burning like liie. I cast regretful glances at my hammock every time I went into tue pantry, for from there I could see it, hanging empty the cool shadows. I arranged the dining room, and then, with a pail of soft water and an armful of towels, went up stairs to prepare the rooms. All done, I went to my own room, ! with just ten minutes to rest before j dressing. I sat down in the darkened room, where the cool breeze stole through the shutters, dropped my head back and slept till the sound of Hugh calling, “whoa,” to the horses, brought me up face with and a start. neck, I dashed brushed cold water hai*. over slipped my { j my quickly into a calico wrapper, and got i down stairs just as they all came troop- j ing into the hall. Ellen, tired and warm > with « ten-months old baby, | cross, and fretting; following her came Marguerite, tall girl : a of fourteen, sal low-faced, aud thin, with big grey eyes j j in dark hollows. Then there burst into : the house four boys, ranging from twelve to five, armed with hoops, bats, bows and arrows, and the largest with a I parlor rifle. My heart sank within me, 1 I but I tried to look glad, and greeted i them as warmly as I could. | I took Ellen and the girl to their room. The boys would, not go up, but dumped their burden in the hall, and ra t ei ont \° ^ Te tCa " h,ch „. 1 S °° n ’ ’ . bad ready for them. When all were seated, there were Ei of her.

I remarked upon the heat “Oh! it wm so hot aud dusty on the cars: lam just tired to death,” she re plied, in a thin, fretful roice, a, she T ked ‘ h * bah -' ,rji " s ,0 *** “ ,# ^ her if she would sit I asked not out on ! the porch, as it was cooler there. “No, I couldn’t endure the night air,” she answered. . tired Conversation flagged; I was too to talk, and I think she was. I made faint efforts to keep up a conversation i and to be agreeable, as 1 sat sweltering ia t the*hot room, when out on the veranda I could see the moonlight and Lear Hugh and the men talking. “You burn kerosene, don’t you,” re marked Ellen. *‘I do bate the smell of it so. TV by do you use it? “TV hat should we U 38 f I asked, “we have no gas in the country. “Candles, of course, she replied, with a sligh curve of the lip. “Candles? ! I a 3 ked in amazement, “Why, no one uses candles nowadays.” “Oh, there, that is just what it is to live in the country ; one never knows what people are doing at all. Why; everyone of any pretentions burns candles now; not the old-fashioned tallow candles, but wax candles, with the lov liest little shades; they are so nice. ’ I asked about her mother, to change the subject, and we talked about her and the old neighbors until she went up stairs to put the baby to bed. She said she thought she would not come ddwn again, if I would excuse her, as she was so very tired. I soon went to my own room aud to sleep, from Which I was awakened by a great clatter add rumpus on the stairs, made by the young Woods as they went down. Soon our ears were saluted by the faint crack of that rifle, followed by the squealing of a pig, and the loud shouts of the boys. * Hugh hastened down, half dressed, and found one of e choice lot of Berk shires with a broken leg, and Herky—. Herkimer his name is-^dancing a regular war dance around the wounded animal, and as pleased as pleased could be, to think he had succeeded in using his gun with such effect as to bring down his g ame - Of the pig > had to be killed. As course good luck would have it, the hired man had a big fire and lots of hot water, so he and Hugh set to work at once to dress it. Hugh took the gun and locked it up. Herky was very indignant, but Hugh was firm. Just as breakfast was ready, there was a sound of crying and screammg outside the kitchen door, and John and Ollie, the two youngest of the T\ oods, came in wet to the skin, their clothes dripping puddles of water all over ray clean floor. They had sailed chips on the water in the horse trough, quarrelled aud tumbled in. Ellen sent Marguerite up to change their clothes, and the rest of us sat down, the baby keeping up a fretful whine all through the meal. After breakfast I said to Ktlcn that she would have to entertain hcfself as best 3 he could, for I had all the work to do, as we could get no girl. She took the baby into tic parlor, and I heard some of the young iters draw ing tortured tones from organ. I had forgotten to lock it, but I resolved I would do so at the first opportunity, and I did. • Being in the pantry after a time, mix ing bread, I heard a great racket, and, glancing out, saw the four Woods boys standing in my new hammock, while Ted and Bob were trying to capture them, Two of the Woods boys held open lyiives in their hands, making feints at striking at those on the ground. It made my blood run cold, to see them swinging and swaying about on their uncertain foothold with those open knive 3 . I took my hand out of the bread, and calling my two boys, went with tham out to the barn and begged Hugh to take them with him intcUthe field, which he did. I baked pies and cake, and prepared the vegetables for ditfher,making hurried visits to tlie parlor between, times. When my bread was in the oven, and a big kettle of beans bubbling on the stove, I went up stairs. It was half-past ten, and the thermometer marked ninety degrees on the north porch. I hurried the work in my own and the boys’ room, and then stepped fU along and took a ?he? peep into Ellens I in hopes had cleaned up their rooms, but, what a sight! they had not done one bit of work. In the middle of the floor, on my new carpet, lay those wet clothes, just as they of‘those h^ been shoved down over the feet boys. I picked them up, and on the fawn-colored ground of my carpet, was a big blue stain where each suit had lain. Clothes littered the chairs and bed, the trunks stood open, a towel stood over the edge of the wash bowl, leading a tiny, trickling stream of water to the floor. The bed had not even been leen thrown open. I put the room in order, and as I stepped into the hall to go into the other guest room, my first breath gave me a smell of burning bread. I flew down stairs and was jus! in time to save the whole baking from incineration. I had barely time to hurry on tbe dinner, and when it was readv * I was too warm add tired to eat. I sat at the tablg. and when the rest were all gone, I drank a cup of tea, and ate a little. I dreaded the dishes, but that great nght *>? too_so »«*. at it * I went. away When the kitchen and dining room were once more in order, I went up and m .,de the bed of ,he Woods bovs. Done at last, I went to my own room, bathed, changed my. dress, and went down. Hearing Ellens voice on the porch. I went out then and found her to ( l uiet thc bab 7‘ who « teething and the hot weather , makes him very cross. “Wbr Cousin Annie where hare you been all day and what hare you been doing to-get so wa.m and red. astved Helen, as 1 sat down. I told her I had been baking. “Baking? what makes you do it? Why dou’t you buy bread? I never let cook bake when it is so hot. T said that in the country we nit buy bread. " < ? h ' de,r: I wouldu't live i D the * I thought I would like to try ray ham mock, so I asked Ellen to move her chair around to that side of the house, As we came in sight of the hammock, 1 behold Marguerite in it, with my lovely copy of Longfellow', which Hugh gave tue last Christmas, turned backward and j folded together as she read it. That was too much for lay equanimity, and I asked her to hold it in ft diffo’ront man - 1 uer if she wished to read it. Remarking, angrily. that she did not care to read it anyway, she closed thr book and threw it on the ground 1 went and picked up my poor abusec treasure, finding one corner broken, the back loose, and a big grease spot on the fine Russia cover. I felt like crying. and To-night, Hugh said he would go see if he could not get a .Tones girl to come over and help me. But neither of them could come, as their mother and the baby were both sick, I ought not td have spent all this time writing, but all the house was so Warm, aDd I was exhausted from the heat, sd I opened every door and window to the utmost, and sat down to write. I feel rested some now, and the night air has cooled the house. I will shut the doors and go to bed. August 1. ' Such a time as I had with those boys, and those Woods lolks in general, was a caution! I had to keep going from early morn¬ ing until late at night to keep the work done, and something cooked to eat. Hugh did his best to get a girl, but could not, as it was just in the midst of haying-time, and everyone was busy. And for the same reason, Hugh could . lelp . much , himself, , . no me or spare either of the men. They brought all the wood, and water, aitd churned, and took the big pans of milk up from the cellar; in fact, did what they could. Such a reign of terror as those boys of Ellen's inaugurated! The first day was a sample of those which followed—from qne day’s end to the other they were into some kind of a scrape. They let the hens out to destroy my garden; they played ball in the front yard, and broke a three-dollar pane of glass; they fell into the pond, by turns, narrowly es caping drowning l they rode tho calves; Herky tried to ride the colt and got kicked; they let out the pigs; they broke all the eggs, until I had to buy some of Simmons, Ellen languished in the parlor, or on the veranda, all day long never saying much, its except to grumble at the country and disadvantages, Hugh declared every night that It must end, but I did not want to seem mhos pitable, even though I must work hard to care for them. I did not want to of fend her; I thought all every day, she would get tired of it and go home. But she didn’t seem to feel worried over the escapades of the boys. The baby was very cross, aud required all her time, They staved ten days, and such days! I baked, and cooked, and every blessed dav I w r ent up and put their rooms in j order; never once did they lift a hand to help. I picked up books, and hats, and handkerchiefs, and fans from every chair and table in the house. The flooi was strewn with wreckage. One of the boys stole in the cellar, and While drink mg from a pan of milk let his hat fall into it, while another poked about in my 1 jar of cream to see what it was, using a dirty stick, aud his equally dirty fingers, I had to buy butter, but I kept the cellar locked after that, Ah, me! how long those days did seem. At last, one morning ° when they had been here ten day, 1 woke up with a sick headache of the most pronounced type. I felt so sick I did not care for anything, aud when Hugh came ud, after they had breakfast, and said he was ; going to take Ellen to the train, I didn’t think or care much about it; only I felt ; j a vague sense of relief, even amidst the green-colored ^-as mists of sick headache. 1 | sick all that day, and the next daj was Sunday, ’tended so Hugh staid atout the house and to things, while I rested; I xvas fairlv worn out Monday morning I went about look ing of"the things over.
