t I I- 1 : ! I 1 )': THE SEA. of Information t ondcusetl Into I n-t rail live Keuteucea. Tuo n'a occupies three-fifths of tho surface of tho earth. At tbe depth of aUut :..""no feet waves arc not felt Tbe teir, iieraturo is tho samo, varying only a tiif.o frcru the ico of tbo polo to tho burr.irg sun of the equator. A tnilo down tbo water has a pressure of over a ton to tbo square inch. If a box 1 foot deep were filled wih pea water al lowed to evaporate under the sun. there would W 2 inches of salt left on tho hot ton. Taking the average depth of tbe oceau to bo three miles, tbero would be a lsycr of puro salt 230 feet thick on tho bed c tho Atlantic. Tbo water is cold er at tho bottom than at tho surface. In th.' -nTiy bnys on tho coast of Norway tbe waiorofren freezes at tho bottom before it does above. Waves aro very deceptive. To look at thorn in a storm on would think tho water traveled, "ihc icr stays in the samo placo, but lie motion goos on. Sometimes In sr.nrii s these waves are 40 fccth!g&. and : r-t-l fi: ',' miles an hour more than ; wi.:o a fabt as tho swiftest steamship. !'jctliaiani'0 from valley to valley is i'-nerully fifteen times the height, l.cim a uave 5 feet high will extend ovei: "5 feet of water. The force of tbe sea dashing on Uell Uoek is said to ho seventeen tons for each .quaro ynrd. Kvaporation is a wonder ful )over in drawing the water from '.oso-i. Kvory year a layer of tho en tire son. 14 loot thick, is taken up into the clods. Tho winds bear their bui-Jen ii.to tho land, and tho water com-.i down in rain upon tho fields, to flu.? bark, at last through rivers. Tho iei n of tho sea presents an interesting , rotuera. If the Atlantic woro lowered tr n C.5'"l foot, tho distance from sboro to snore would bo half as great, or 1,500 1..IK-H. If lowered a littlo moro tban tl.r-r miles, say 1J.CS0 feet, there v.

A drying up of C60 iCt would leavo three different seas, an 1 Africa uoirld bo ioined with Italy. Th., i Uri tisli channel is more like a p.ind, which accounts for its choppy vivf. It has been found difficult to i" t ti.o correct soundings of tho At iri't'c. A nndsbirman cf to navy uvertnirc the dllllculty. and shot weigh 1 !V ii'i ur. Is carries down tho line.

Some time since a jrentleman from Bos ton went to an Illinois town seeking rest and pleasure, says tbe St. Louis Re public. The jrentleman knew all about Boston baked beans and brown bread, but very little about tbe lonjf-eared Illi nois rabbit. One afternoon a number of men and boys were discussing the mat ter of tho great number of rabbits in the country this season, as it was thought they were all exterminated last winter. Some one in the crowd remarked that it would be good fun to go out "bagging" rabbits. The JJoston man, not kdo ik what "bagging rabbits meant, began to inquire. It was explained to him, and he expressed himself anxious to en gage in such sport. It was arranged to go out to the timber east of the town that night and catch rabbits by tho bag ging process. About 8:30 o'clock the crowd started. When about & half mile out of town tbey came to a hazel thicket where the rabbits were said to be numerous. The Iioston man was stationed just outside of the thicket to hold the bag (a big cof fee sack), while the boys went through the brush pretending to scare the rab bits out and run them into the sack. Vhile going through the thicket the boys did txtually scare up a rabbit, which ran directly Into the bag. The boys ran back to town and waited tho coming of the bag-holder, who. they thought, would get lost in the timber and would be slow returning. They did not have long to wait, for in a few min utes in came the IJoston man, the bag and rabbit on his shoulder, feeling hap py, and remarking: "Uy gosh. I caught him. Not yet discovering the trick that they had tried to play on him, he sup posed that the rabbit was purposely driven in the sack. The laugh was on tho boys and the Iioston man turned out to bo the lion of the occasion, having bagged his game successfully. Xo more tricks have been played on the gentleman from Boston. DR. TODD'S MISTAKE. A Long;-Winded Dissertation Enda In the Lecturer's llaaty llrtrsat. If old Dr. Todd, of the R Medical College, where he is one of the most learned and valuable lecturers, has a pet. hobby, it is "emphysema." The doctor, says the Chicago Herald, has a theory that directly conflicts with the beliefs of nearly all of the other emi nent practitioners of the world. He holds that all players upon wind instru ments have diseased lungs. The affec tion so contracted he calls "emphy sema." Twice a year he lectures learn edly on emphysema. He has even been heard to remark that through this mala dy, discovered by himself, his name will bo handed down to the future ages. As we now speak of "Bright's disease," so will future generations refer to "Todd's disease." One day a tall, cadaverous looking Individual entered Dr. Todd's clinic. A glance sufficed to show that the patient was in the last stages of con sumption. "What is your occupation?" inquired the doctor. "I play in a band," hoarsely wheezed the poor sufferer. "Aha!" exclaimed Dr. Todd, turning to the class, "what havo I so often told you, trentlemen? Here wo havo a fine caso of emphysema " Then followed a long dissertation on the effects produced upon the lungs by continually blowing a wind instrument- The class listened with great attention. They were not exactly convinced, but they could not help admitting that the doctor for once was making a strong argument. When tho latter had finished he turned tri umphantly to the consumptive musician and a.ked, patronizingly: "What wind instrument do vou play, sir?" .......... "The bass drum," wheezed the gentle man. VOORHEES' ELOQUENCE. Emotional Oratory Tuat Came to aa Ig nominious End. Senator Voorhees is an eloquent law yer and is justly noted for his influence over a jury. Sometimes, however, he moves their sympathies and that of tho court to no purpose, as one or two stories told in tho Xew York Tribune will show. He was once engaged in a suit before a justice of the peace to defend a young lady in an action against a bank. The case was a weak one, but Mr. Voorbees endeavored to work on the feelings of tho court. Ho depicted the sufferings of his client until tho sympathy of the "squire" was so aroused that tears trickled down the old gentleman's cheeks. But tho decision was a disap pointment. "The plaintiff," said the squire, "is a woman, and her counsel has for the last hour touched the sympathy of the court in her behalf. I am glad of it; but I think, nnder the law, that justice is on the side of the bank. I therefore will find in favor of the bank, and let the record show that Mrs. has the full sympathy of the court." Mr. Voorhees tells another story of emotional eloquence which came to an ignominious end. He bad succeeded in delivering an appeal which had brought tears to tno eyes of several jurymen Then arose tho prosecuting attorney, a gruff old man, with piping voice and nasal twang. "ticntlemen." said he, deliberately helping himself to a pinch of snuff, "you might as well understand from the be ginning that I am not boring for water." This proved so effectual a wet blanket to the emotion excited by Mr. Voorhees tbat he realized the futility of his own "boring." lion Timothy Grass IV as Named. Timothy or herd grass is the most common grass of Continental Europe, growing wild throughout all that vast region between tho Mediterranean sea on the south and the North sea in the direction tho namo implies. It is not known exactly when it was first intro duced into the United States, but this much is known: It takes tho name from Timothy Hanson, a farmer of Maryland, who brought it under gen eral notice as a hay grass after he had cultivated it extensively for his use for years. It is & curious fact that al though its native home is in Europe, the United States is tbe first country in which it was grown, cat and cured for hay. American Gardener. Singularly Luminous Boetles. The editor of tho Journal of tbe Roy al Agricultural and Commercial Society of Kritish Guiana, in some interesting notes on luminous larva;, says of a form referable to tbe Elateridt, or spring beetles, tbat its luminosity, when ob served in a dark place is singularly striking and beautiful. Tho light is emitted along tho whole length of the body the bead, the . front part of the anterior segment, and th last segment of the body, being altogether luminous. while each . intermediate segment gleams from a small area on each side j of the back, two regularly-arranged ! rows of golden brilliants being thus ob- j scrvable. Tbe light is continuous and very bright, bntit la intensified when ; the little creature is irritated. At in- i tcrvals, ono or more of the dorsal lights will be observed to be very dull or nearly extinguished, but apparently they aro never quite put out. N. Y.

BtatrtJLLns KAax-t of a, lMuaons tratioa oa a Yoaui( Mu'i M laid. My friend Abernetby tells a pretty good tcry at bis tvn expense, writes William Valla Cook in the Detroit Frew lires., and 1m-U- I give it to tho rr-adc-r in his own words, as nearly as I can recall them: i Alton t ten rears aero, I found myself raeiu tn-ck-aud-QTk with savants, ancit-nt ar.d modern, in the hippodrome of ph;loirhr. TLrowing aside evry system w ith nupreme contempt 1 reared a cosmos to suit myself and gave the J microcosm a commanding niche in my temple. "There," said I, "was chaos; such-and-such a power drew out the ! Universe and no-and-so sustains it. Yonder is (od and here is man lo! what a marvel I have wrought." I im agined how the great, throbbing world ( would one day receive my theory. I knew to a certainty I would be crowned with bays and that my disciples would be innumerable. I was assured leyond the possibility of doubt that I would go tearing down the ages my features perpetuated in stone and marble and my name the signal for reverent prostra tion in every country. I believed all this for I was but eighteen! It was while dreaming after this bent tbat X met Miss II , a venerable lady with a philosophical turn of mind. She was a well-read woman, a prominent figure ia the Theosophics. Society and a professed admirer of my hare-braim-d theories. Anxious to gain converts to the society of which she was an arJi-nt member. Miss II strove to overcome tbe thousand and one lj"tions which I urged against theosophy. She en deavored to persuade uie for several weeks, but to no purjnise; then she made me the following proposition: Your theories are theosophical to tbe core. Mme. ltlavatsky has ex pounded many of them before you. You claim to desire a practical demonstra tion of some of our theories that ditTer from yours. Iet me propose, an experi ment. Set your watch with tnino. and to-night, at precisely eight, retire alone to your chamber, extinguish your lamp and center your thoughts upon me. At the same hour I will do likewise and think of you. This will be an interest ing test, and if you are not startled by the result I shall be greatly surprised." Dabbling in occult phenomena, so I fell in with Miss II s proposition without more ado. Night came, and right o'clock found me in my lonely study without a lamp and with only the sp-etral moonlight quivering over my books, marble busts and astronomical instruments. Subject to such conditions, my room was indeed a ghostly place, and I thought it just the thing for putting me tn rappurt with Miss II and making me a passive factor in our experiment. I centered my thoughts upon the venerable lady at the time specified. For five minutes nothing very startling occurred. In fact, it seemed very difficult for mo to keep my mind upon my patroness. At the end of five minutes, however, I found myself in a state of very great nervousness. I pushed my feet about on the carpet and moved my hands in cessantly. It was impossible for me to remain quiet. Tins mood gradually gave way to one of calmness, but it was a calmness 6uch as I had never before experience!. it was like the foreboding stillness that precedes a hurricane, and I felt throughout my wholo body that some thing supernatural was about to happen. In a few moments I thought I heard the voice of Miss II calling my name. I trembled violently and the perspiration stood out on my forehead. I remember trying to sbake off my lody, for I was terribly wrought up and believed such a thing was possible. Once, twice, I en deavored to obey Miss II 's voice. It wu in Tain, but tbe third time, what a sensation I experienced! I seemed to float upward. Matter had no restraining power. My body could not keep me and I passed through tbe walls of my study like a sunbeam through clouds of mist. I left my body with its head on its hand, sitting at my desk. I bad a peculiarly buoyant, immaterial feeling and I real ized that I. the conscious entity, tbe ego, the soul, was no longer subject to earthly conditions. Was I dead in tbe sense that the world knew death, or was 1 merely playing into the power of Miss U ? 1 found mj-self at last suspend ed like Mahomet's coffin between Ileaven and earth. I seemed to poise in a higher atmosphere like some bird. The sensation was too delightful to be described. Words fail mc, and to cap the climax of my strange situation I be held the venerable Miss II floating toward me in a white cloud. I was about to address her when, like a flash. I opened my eyes and found myself in my study. I was overcome with this strange ex perience and 1 decided then and there that if theosophy was a science fraught with such interesting phenomena. Miss II might claim me for a disciple. Certainly, in the whole range of my ex perience nothing could comyaro with tbe wonderful experiment in which I had participated. The next day I called upon my pat roness. I was prepared for an uncondi tional surrender. Imagine my conster nation when she met me with tbe fol lowing: "Ah, Mr. Abernethy. Of course you are all prepared tx declare theosophy a fraud. l$ut I was unable to perform my part of our experiment last evening. The society sent for me at half past seven on some important business; consequently, at eight o'clock, instead of thinking of you, I was head-over-heels in some Hindoo " "What!" I gasped; "do you mean to say that you were paying no attention to me at eight o'clock last night?" "Indeed, you mustn't scold. It was " I fear I left Miss II somewhat dis courteously; but I was provokd to find myself the dupe of so vivid an imagina tion. A Yankoo Samaritan. There was a pood Samaritan on a train from Newport to Itanpor the other day, and tbe Fairfield (Mo.) Journal thus tells ot his journey: "When he got on tbe car a double seat there was occupied bj a tired woman and four hot, tired, dirty, squabbling children. Did the newcomer, after a short remark about tbe nuisance of children travel ing, put his feet on the seat in front and bury himself in a newspaper? Not he. Aa soon as he saw the party he folded up his paper, put it away, tucked bis baggage in the smallest possible capaci ty and enticed the tired and dirty bits of humanity over to Lis side of the car, petting' some one just ahead of him to give up a seat, so as to accommodate all four of them. Soon he had the quartette eating wafers and lautrhinir at his stories while the tired mother got a nap." Wild Animal, la Teams. Wolves, coyotes, wild cats and pan thers in Texas are multiplying under the protection of the barbed-wire fence and the apathy of the State I03i.sla1.0rs. A few years since a thorough scalp law would have settled forever tbe wild ani mal question in Texas at a small ex pense.
