LIFE IN THE DEEP SEA.
LIFE IN VENEZUELA.
Th»
OATHE T
^tlNO EIDER DOWN.
••m* Carious Revolutions o' the Dredge
^ and the Microscope.
We made frequent tripe far out toward
the Bermudas, where the ocean waters
extend downward to a depth of tully
1&000 feet, and then we cast our dredge
and scraped about in a Tlind manner
after whatever wo could find. It was
t&5 deepest water that had ever been ex
plored, and our results were moni ^a-
derful. The bed of the sea was tb
ben mass of dark blue, H'ry sticky mud, ,
which, wheti examined by the micro
scope, was found to be composed in largo
measure of the minute shells of a very
lovely organized animal with no common
name, but called scientifically foramini-
fera. This mud existed everywhere, and,
curiously enough^-jt is found to lie almost
exactly the same as the chalk cliffs of
England, differing only in that it is still
muddy. If a bit of chalk is examined
with a microscope it will lie found to be
composed of multitudes of beautiful
shells, and there is no doubt that this
ocean mud would form into chalk if it
could lie exnosed to the air. Each fine
muddy particle is the cast off remnant of
an animal that lived and died in the
great depths of the sea.
On this great bed of mud the most re
markable creatures live in vast numbers.
There are serpent like starfishes, beauti
ful branching corals, ugly black fishes,
pure white “sea cucumbers,” bright
pink, purple and red sea anemones and a
host of other creatures. The fishes are
always strange rind uncouth, with huge
mouths and stomachs all in one, but with
the tail hardly noticeable. When the
fishes are brought to tho surface their air
bladders and stomachs protrude from
their mouths, their eyes bulge out and
the blood is forced through the skin.
Life has been crushed out of them by the
sudden change of pressure, the gases
within having burst tho tissues and body
walls asunder. The tremendous pressure
of the water was well shown by lower
ing an empty bottle, which was crushed
to atoms.
There is a very curious deep sea animal
allied to our interesting hermit of soldier
crabs. These fellows have a soft and
unprotected tail, and one of the first
moves after birth is to rush about for a
deserted sea snail shell to cover their un
protected parts. This shell the hermit
carries about wherever it goes, taking a
new one now and then whenever it out
grows its old home. This house moving
is inconvenient, for as soon as the hermit
exposes his soft tail to the gaze of his
fellow crabs they are apt to give it a nip,
and our hermit may find himself tailless
arid hence of no use in this world, for
with the tail goes the stomach. Besides,
in the deep sea deserted shells are not
very common, and our hermit may find
himself without a home when he most
needs one.
Born in the same waters there is a
curious polyp, or sea anemone mid
way, scientifically speaking, between a
true anemone and a coral polyp. Unlike
the ordinary sea anemone, its body
ivifils are filled with sand, so that it
does not form good food for fishes.
Shortly after birth this anemone, which
has been swimming around for a
few days, is seized with an uncon
trollable desire to settle in life, and ac
cordingly he runs plump against the shell
of a hermit crab. He very seldom misses
his mark, and immediately commences
tying himself on to stay. He grows
rapidly, and in a few days has completely
surrounded our hermit’s shell, leaving
one opening above uncovered. The next
step is to absorb the hard shell, and all
this is accomplished before the hermit
has felt the necessity for a change of resi
dence. Once having the hard shell ab
sorbed our anemone does not propose that
the crab shall leave it, so he commences
growing slowly, just keeping pace with
the growth of the hermit. So the two
live together through life, each doing the
other a favor, the hermit carrying the
anemone from place to place and prob
ably leaving bits of food for its satisfac
tion now and then, while the anemone
furnishes the hermit with a comfortable,
transportable house, which grows to suit
the growing demands of the tenant.—
Hartford Courant.
Climate — Luoriou Home#
rriimlj Knlrrtaiameots.
There was something almost uncanny
in the air. We were only 3,000 feet up.
and still the pulse gTew quicker, brer' '
ing was more rapid, a little gid'^,^
came occasionally, and there wr^ a
Ous sense of sound in the nc^ n ^ e still
ness of the scene.
Walking soon cua^tf fe>io, mid we
might have bea^ Wot a little uneasy
3,1/oUt our •tJpp;u < ent weakness, if our
good friewtt, Ma>. Scott, had not assured
ns 'ft ‘iae to the changye of ele-
V’AWoiV, that the same thing happened to
him, and that it took only a f<*w days to
grow accustomed.. Beside th#it change,
we speedily found another. ’AtLuGuaira,
it had been uncomfortably warm, not to
say hot, but at Caracas a double blanket
was always needed on one^s bed, and the
mercury was rarely up to 55 degs. lie-
fore 7 a m. More than once a little
fire would have been tliank fully wel
comed. Native ladies wear white largely,
but foreigners rarely find the air warm
enough to justify a change from their
home attire.
Streets in town are wide for the
tropics, and well paved, though with
narrow sidewalks. As a rule, houses are
built of only one story, for fear of earth
quakes, such as have devastated the city
more than once in days gone by. Outer
walls are plain and somber, bearing no
relation to the luxuriant interiors.
Around a spacious patio or court, filled
with trees, flowers, ornamental fruits and
a fountain or two, the house spreads its
colonnades and opens wide its doors.
Forbidding enough to strangers, the
portal is no sooner, passed than the scene
is one of true home like comfort, of
every accessory that taste and money can
provide. They live like princes, these
Caraquenos of the uppermost grade, and
their hospitality is as free as a Persian’s.
They have carried the study of entertain
ing very far, and their dinner parties
would be difficult to excel in New York
or Paris. Such floral decorations as
adorn every table in Caracas could only
be obtained in New York at a first class
florist's, and at great cost.
It would be difficult to find in any
land more charming women than the
Caraquenas. Spanish descent has given
them a grace of figure and of motion
that is all their own. Their pure moun
tain air and sans souci mode of life fur
nish a complexion that would be verit
able velours de rose, if they would only
keep detestable powder away from it.
Their constant association with distin
guished natives and diplomatic foreigners
who largely give tone to a capital, has
promoted a quickness of mind as well as
a courtly bearing that accords with their
fine figures. And they have, beside, a
politeness that is wholly native. We
found our acquaintances of a month fast
growing into friends ltefore the goodbys
came, and we are resolved to greet them
again some day not too far away.
Among the leaders we were glad to sec
two of our own countrywomen, who, al
though adopted Venezuelans now, with
charming families growing up around
them, are still and always Americans,
with hearts and hands open to their wan
dering countrymen.
Amusements are many and varied.
Two theaters were in operation, one with
a wretched opera company from New
York—why people will go sc far to sell
so little is hard to say; the other with a
Japanese acrobatic troupe, who were
doing very well. Of late years President
Guzman has exercised good taste in pro
hibiting those bloody scenes of the bull
ring that have so long disgraced Madrid
and Havana; and the national entertain
ment, deprived of its cruelty, seems to
have lost attraction. Cock fighting re
mains, however, and the excitable, ner
vous crowds who go at every chance of
witnessing it, seem to enjoy it very
much.—Dr. W. F. Hutchinson in Ameri
can Magazine.
How tho
Or
The Argentine Republic’s Meat Trade.
The Argentine government has ap
pointed a special committee of six prin
cipal cattle farmers to propose such meas
ures as they may deem best suited for
the furthering of the export of beef.
Nothing is needed to help the frozen mut
ton trade, more than 100,000 carcasses
having been shipped during two weeks in
March. One factory, that of Terrasono
at San Nicolas, has shipped 125,000 since
the beginning of the year. As soon as
the breed of cattle is improved the Ar
gentine confederation will be able to ex
port beef, but at present, out of 20,000.-
000 horned cattle, there are not 20,000 fit
to slaughter for a European market.—
Buenos Ayres Standard.
It Was the Real Article.
King David's, treasure amounted to
$3,000,000,000. Reduced to tons, it
would be 6,250, sufficient to load 12,500
camels; made into a rod one inch
square it would reach 1,250,000 feet,
or 236 3-4 miles; a rod one-fourth of an
inch square, nearly 1,000 miles; cut into
three feet lengths it would make 1,666,-
666; put into a fence six to the foot,
would reach 217,777 feet, or sufficient to
make a gold fence over fifty miles long.

An Old Scotch Tradition.
The following appears in Bayard Tay
lor's “Views Afoot”: “The Scot was
speaking with great bitterness of the be
trayal of Wallace, when I asked him if it
was still considered an insult to turn a loaf
of bread bottom upwards in the presence
of a Monteith.” This reference is thus ex
plained: Sir William Wallace was be
trayed into the hands of Edward by Sir
John Monteith. It is generally said, and
the tradition of the country avers, that
the signal made for rushing upon him
unawares was when one of his pretended
friends, who betrayed him, should turn a
loaf, which was placed on a table with
its bottom or flat side uppermost, and in
after times it was reckoned ill breeding to
turn a loaf in that manner if there was a
person named Monteith in the company,
since it was as much as to remind him
that liis namesake had betrayed Sir Wil
liam Wallace.- The Argonaut.
A Cause of Milk Infection.
The recent papers on the subject of the
milk alkaloid tyrotoxicon show one cause
for milk infection. It now seems certain
that, as this alkaloid or ptomaine, tyro
toxicon by name, has come to be recog
nized as a cause of illness, it will be sup
plemented by such bacteria as those al
luded to. Certain inexplicable cases of
milk or cheese poisoning, when analysis
shows no tyrotoxicon, may thus be ac
counted for. Cream cannot well be
heated, and may be the vehicle for con
tamination. Ice cream thus may pro
duce illness. It has been definitely proved
that cold has so little effect on bacteria
that the freezing of ice cream is but
a slight safeguard, if any.—Scientific
American.
Stupid Bird# Pluck OH Thci»
,n Feathers for the Use of Men.
file eider duck constitutes the wealth,
and maj - be said to be the providence, of
the Icelanders. To study this bird in its
favorite haunts it is only necessary to
take a boat at Reikjavik and pay a visit
to three islands situated in front of the
harbor. They are named Videy, Engey
and Akrey. Here the ducks pair and
make their nests every year about the be
ginning of June. When the female has
chosen the place where she wishes to lay
her eggs she plucks from her plumage
the feathers which she uses to line the
ljottom and sides of her nest; then she
generally lays six eggs, rarely more.
During this time the drake, more jealous
of his marital prerogatives than was
Caesar, like the good father of a family
that he is, ceases not for a moment to
keep a watchful eye on his consort, and
fetches her back instantly if she gives the
slightest indication of wishing to take a
walk. This curious phenomenon of a
male more careful of his offspring than
the female has been confirmed by nu
merous observations. But perhaps his
motive in this is simply jealousy.
The next day the owner of the land
comes and carries away at the same time
both the down and eggs. The unfortu
nate couple, which sometimes make a
stout resistance, clinging to the clothes of
the robber with their beaks, go off a short
distance and begin again; but the bondi
(farmer) comes once more and bikes the
precious deposit. The indefatigable
mother goes to work anew, and this time
only a part of the eggs are taken; for if
all were removed the depredator in de
siring too much would lose all. But this
reserve is made solely as regards the eggs,
for the down is removed once every
week, and the poor mother continues to
strip herself until she finds herself so
bare that she has no longer wherewithal
to line the moist hole that contains her
egg. The male, squatted near her, then
comes to her assistance, and he k too,
strips himself of his plumage, a quality
of down that the Icelanders distinguish
easily from that of the female, because it
is white and taken from the creature’s
sides.—The Cosmopolitan.
Had Learned Another Way.
One winter evening, not many years
ago, at Doylestown, Pa., three young,
lawyers were seated at a table in the law
library room playing cards. One of th°m
had recently been admitted to practice
law, and during the evening he frequently
used the expression, “It is me. ” The in
correctness of the phrase grated upon the
ears of the other two lawyers, and at last
one said, “Joseph, don’t you know you
are frequently saying, ‘It is me,' when
you are well aware that you should say,
‘It is I?”’
He replied, “Jacob, I know I should
say, ‘It is I, ’ but I say it incorrectly from
habit.”
Jacob said, “I think I can aid you in
saying it correctly if you will only com
mit to memory the rhyme, ‘It is I, said
the spider to the fly. ’ ’ ’
“Well, that would aid me, I admit,”
said Joseph, “if I had not committed an
other rhyme when a boy.”
Inquired Jacob, “Well, what is that?”
Joseph said, “ ‘It is nie. said the spider
to the flea.’ ”
The Much Dreaded Grimly Bear. (
Of all the known plantigrades (flat
footed beasts) the grimly is the most
savage and the most dreaded, and he is
the largest of all. saving the presence of
his cousin the polar bear, for which,
nevertheless, he is more than a match in
strength and courage. 6ome specimens
measure 7 feet from tip of nose to
root of tail. The distinctive marks of
the species are its great size; the short
ness of the tail as compared with the
ears; the huge flat paws, the sole of the
hind foot sometimes measuring 7 1-2 by
5 inches in a large male; the length of
the hind legs as compared with the /ore
legs. whiclT gives the beast his awkward,
shambling gait: the long (‘laws of the
forefoot, sometimes 7 inches in length,
while those of the hind foot measure only
3 or 4; the erect, bristling mane of stiff
hair, often 6 inches long: the coarse hair
of the body, sometimes 3 inches long,
dark at the base, but with light tips.
He has a dark stripe along the back,
and one along each side, the hair on his
body being, as a rule, a brownish yellow,
the region around the ears dusky, the
legs nearly black and the muzzle pale.
Color, however, is not a distinctive mai'lj,
for female grizzlies have been killed in
company with two cubs, of which one
was brown, the other gray, or one dark,
the other light; and the supposed species
of “cinnamon” and “brown bears are
merely color variations of Ursus horri-
bilis himself.—G. O. Shields in Harper’s
Magazine.
The Chinese Empress’ Pastime.
The empress regent of China is one
of the most remarkable women of the
age. Not content with directing the in
tricate policy of the most populous em
pire in the world with wonderful clever
ness and sagacity, she has now entered
the ranks of competitors for the light
weight championship of the Celestial em
pire. Attired in a sort of bloomer cos
tume, she takes daily lessons in boxing
from an old eunuch. Her appearance at
the age of 50, in short skirt, hitting out
at her venerable preceptor, and occasion
ally receiving punishment herself, must
be comical to the last degree, and the re
ports on the matter form the subject of a
most disrespectful merriment on the part
of the almond eyed denizens of the Chi
nese metropolis. The empress regent
was a concubine of the Emperor Hien-
Fung, on whose death she was appointed
to act as co-regent with the dowager em
press during the minority of her son, the
late Emperor Tung-Chi.
With unusual ability she has guided
the policy of the empire through the
troublous times which have resulted
from the opening up of the country to
foreign trade, and has so conducted
affairs as to have brought the nation to
an infinitely higher degree of prosperity
and tranquillity than it enjoyed when she
took up the reius.—Hong Kong Times.
Water for the System.
Pure, ripe, juicy fruits furnish the best,
most wholesome and agreeable supply of
water for the system, and there are few
people who use one-quarter as much fruit
as a state of perfect health would indicate
or demand, but this fruit should be taken
at or form the principal part of our
meals and never be eaten between meals,
especially so. if moi’e than two regular
meals are taken daily. Hot water drink
ing, which has amounted almost to a
mania in ijiany places during the past
few years, was nothing more nor less than
internal bathing.. Suppose the system is
filled with some form of impurity, caus
ing congestion and disease, the patient
drinks one, two or even three quarts of
water daily, as many do who visit the
springs and watering places. The same
quantity of water must pass out of
the system through the skin, kidneys
or some other emunctories of the body,
and in no case does it pass out as pure
water, but becomes loaded with effete
matter, which it takes up and expels.—
Hall's Journal of Health.
Prices for Gazing at Royalty.
The London Baptist gives the price
paid at different times for seats to view
royal processions. In the time of Ed
ward I it was one-half cent; on the ac
cession of Richard H it was two cents.
From the coronation of Henry V to that
of Henry VH it was four cents; in that
of Elizabeth it was raised to twelve cents
and twenty-four cents was paid for a seat
to view the coronation procession of
James I. Sixty cents was paid in the
time of Charles II, and $1.20 in that of
William IH. At the coronation of George
II the price had risen to $2.50, and at
that of George IV people were astonished
to hear that from $25 to $40 was paid
But at the recent procc-ssion $4,000 was
paid for the windows of one house.—

of M. P. Leclerc. He urges that it is | pecially where
more reasonable to suppose that the odora '

like sulphur and camphor—are due to
the waves set up than that the rubbing
causes matter to be emitted which can
not be detected except as a suit!!. The

No Inspiration of the Rottle.
‘ ‘In a conversation with Read,' ’ said
Mr. Grafton to the writer, * ‘I once vent
ured to say, -Read, did you take nothing
but a pot of black tea into your room
when you invoked the muse for “Sheri
dan’s Ride?” ’ To my surprise, in a most
placid, unexpected manner, he said: ‘I
took nothing else but that. Let me con
fess to you a fact: I can do nothing with
the pen unless I am clear headed. I
know,’ he continued, ‘that poem, with its
faults, came from no inspiration of the
bottle. 1 would like, however, to have
corrected some of those faults, but Bayard
Taylor advised me not to allow the least
change or emendation, but to let it stand
as written. ’ The wisdom of this advice
insured its acceptance, and, if I mistake
not, it now stands word for word as the
muse gave it, nothing to add or subtract.
“Mr. Read also said this to me: ‘They
may talk what they choose about Byron,
Burns, Poe and others writing so finely
under the influence of drink, but I don't
believe a word of it. If the tongue does
wag, the brain will lag when much drink
has been indulged in, for then I have dis
covered I am just about as dumb as a
a Princess buy oyster. ’ ”—Cincinnati

Hay Fever an Aristocratic Malady.
The oddest note of national, personal
and sexual superiority I ever heard of is
susceptibility to hay fever. In Dr. Mor-
ell Mackenzie's admirable monograph on
this complaint and its treatment, I find
that among races, the English and Amer
ican; among classes, the upper and cul
tivated; and of the sexes, the male sex,
are especially susceptible to hay fever.
In the north of Europe it is almost un
known. It is rare in France, Germany,
Italy and Spain: whereas in England it
is frequent, and in America prevalent.
Again, 90 per cent, of its martyrs are of
the upper class, while agricultural labor
ers. who are most exposed to the causes
of the complaint, are least subject to its
attacks. Lastly, the male sex is more
liable to it than tho female, in the ratio
of three to one. Wherefore our suscep
tibility to hay fever “in reality affords
matter for self congratulation, as indi
cating our superiority to less favored peo
ples in culture and civilization. ”—London

A I’retty Indian Legend*
A pretty Indian legend is current here
this season. Chautauqua means ‘-the
place of easy death,” and report says
this is how the lake secured its name.
An Indian maiden, mourning over the
death of her lover, wandered away from
her people seeking a poisonous root. In
a secluded spot on the lake shore she
found it. partook freely and lax - down to
await death. The poison created delirium
and a burning thirst. Her lover seemed
to come to her and offer fresh, cool
water, yet when she reached out her
hands for the grateful draught he van
ished. She dragged herself to the edge
of the lake, and stooping over to cool her
parched lips in the waves, she saw Iter
lover beneath the water holding up his
arms to her. Joyfully -he threw herself
int • the water and was never en again,
