<§trald and ^dtcrfisct;. Newnan, Ga.^Frlday, Dec. 9, 1887. 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&gtio, 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. —.Chicago News.

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.— Home Journal. An Undnlatory Theory of Odor. That odor is, like light and sound, a phenomenon of undulation is the belief wall will of M. P. Leclerc. He urges that it is | pecially where more reasonable to suppose that the odora ' produced by rubbing certain substances— 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 garlic odor of heated arsenious acid is a smell accompanying clamical action the same as in many otfc r cases we have light or heat in cornu :>;i with it.

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 Commercial Gazette.

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 Truth. 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.

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.
