Tin: sioni.F.y ihn.vkk.
From tho Philadelphia Press.
The old Idea that sin Is , more a mat
ter of being fempted than tempting will
not apply here. Tho type of young men
who ran tho Seeley dinner, far from rep
resenting those who fall by temptation,
represents that type not uncommon,
either that Is bold and blatnnt, persist
ent and persevering In Its pursuit of vice,
gross or rellned. That this climax or
vicious enjoyment Is tho outgrowth of the
current hypocrisy of our conventional life,
and due largely to a double code which
allows tho man to do as lie pleases, while
exacting that all women shall be Lucre
tius In thought, word and uctlon, Is cer
tainly manifest. It also Indicates the fail
ure of the home, family and church to
have that cumulative effect for decency
and cleanliness of llfo which should at
least mark our civilization, even If spirit,
uallty be not retained, Perhaps, too, both
emotionalism and formalism In roll
gion ure responsible In so far as
the church Is weak, as both the
former and lattor In all history have
gone hand In hund with loose moral stand
ards, If the family, tho home und tho
church were more elllcaclous and moruls
were moro a concern thun a dogma, tho
Seeley dinner would not be occupying the
space It does In the dally newspaper.

KOMI' INSITHANCI' STOU1KS.
Some Interesting Cucs Illustrating
the Perils Which Hcsot People.
The hlsrh Importance of life Insur
ance has become so generally renllzed
of late years and policies aie held by
so many thousands now that It. Is
scarcely strange that there are many
wonderful stories In this connection,
says Ivondoir Tld-Blts. A very re
markable thing occurred to a Sheeld
grocer a few months ago, Having a
wife and three children dependent upon
him, and not making an Income much
more than sulllcienl for current ex
penses, he decided to take out an In
surance upon his life for the protec
tion of his family against destitution
In the event of their being suddenly
robbed of his support. He applied to
a good company, went through the
usual formalities, nnd awaited the re
sult. A few days later, after having closed
his shop for the night, he was sitting
In his parlor over the shop, when he
heard the postman's characteristic
knock. He threw down his 'paper and
hurried downstairs, When In the mid
dle of a long, steep lllght his foot
slipped, and he was forcibly precipi
tated down the remainder of the stairs
Into the hall below, where he struck
his head heally against a metal letter
box, which caused concussion of the
brain, from which he died in the course
of a few days, The extraordinary
feature of this story, which sounds like
the daring fiction of a penny-a-liner,
Is the fact that In the letter box at
the time of the accident was the life
Insurance policy for which the grocer
had been negotiating. It had Just
been delivered by the postman, to
whose knoftt he had responded. In
point of extraordlnarlness this story,
wnlch is placed without the pale of
suspicion by Its source, would be hard
to beat.
There are many similar cases of poli
cies being taken out at the eleventh
hour, as It has proved. Only last sum
mer a gentleman who was on the fol
lowing day to have started on a moun
taineering tour through Switzerland
went to a big London Insurance com
pany to go through the final formal
ities and get his policy. This wns
done, and he left the ofllce, which is
situated In a thoroughfare where the
tralllc Is seriously congested. Turning
straight out of the olllce, without look
ing where he was going, he inn Into
a horse of n hansom, by which he wns
knocked down and fatally Injured.
A strange case, Illustrative of the
value of newspaper Insurance, which
has become so popular of recent yeurs,
was thnt of a country carpenter. He
had just knocked ul'f work near a sta
tion, and was loitering about talking
to the porters, when a train came in
and stopped, From one of the com
partments directly opposite the car
penter a gentleman alighted, leaving
a paper upon the seat. The man men
t'.'jned the fact to him, anil, being In
formed that It wns no longer wanted,
he took possession of It himself to read
over his evening pipe. He slipped It
Into his pocket, and, nfter n few more
reiMiks to the porters, went off home,
nicking his wuy along the railway,
which, In the country, Is a much more
common thing that Is supposed.
About half-wnv home he was over
taken by a train, knocked down and
killed instantly. His wife very prompt
lyIt Is reinnrunble how prompt peo
ple can be undei these circumstances

which tho paper the deceased carried
was the pulley, and proved her kin
ship. There Is a strong vein of tho pathetic
running through the following story:
A commercial traveler, who traded, for
a London soft-goods firm, had, with
wise Judgment, Insured his life, on his
mnrrlnge, and had kept up the pay
ment for twenty-three years, In the
hope of providing for his wife and live
children ngnlnst his death. After twenty-three
years financial dlliicultles,
which only changed to go from bad
to worse, prevented his making one of
the payments, which, of course, caused
the policy to fall through. Within a
week of this the traveler was seized
In the street by a spasm of pain, and
died of heart disease almost Imme
diately, leaving his family In a state
bordering upon destitution, which he
had for so many years struggled to
guard against. The facts of this sad
case were brought before the Insurance
company, which acted In a most gen
erous manner by returning to the
widow all the money pnld In prem
iums by her husband. SHU, the Irony
of fate has a fine Illustration In this
story.

IN TIIU OCKAN'S DKPTHS.
The Enormous Pressure of (he Water
in Its Deepest Places.
From the Nineteenth Century.
The temperature at the bottom of tho
ocean Is nearly down to freezing point,
and sometimes actually below It. There
Is a total absence of light, as far as
sunlight Is concerned, and there is an
enormous pressure, reckoned at about
one ton to tho square Inch In every 1,000
fathoms, which is ICO times greater
than that of the atmosphere we live In.
At 2,500 fathoms the pressure Is thirty
times moro powerful than the steam
pressure of a locomotive when drawing
a train. As late as 1SS0 a leading zo
ologist explained the existence of deep
sea animals at such depths by assum
ing that their bodies were composed
of solids and liquids of great density,
nnd contained no air. This, however,
is not the case with deep-sea fish,
which are provided with alr-lnllnted
swimming bladders. If one of these
fish. In full chase after Its prey, hap
pens to ascend beyond a certain level,
Its bladder becomes distended with the
decreased pressure, and carries It, In
spite of nil Its efforts, still higher in Its
course. In fact, members of this un
fortunate class are liable to become
victims to the unusual accident of fall
ing upward, and no doubt meet with a
violent death soon after leaving their
accustomed level, and long before their
bodies reach the surface In a distorted
and unnatural state. Even ground
sharks, brought up from a depth of no
more than noo fathoms, expire before
they gain tho surface.
The fauna of the deep sea with a few
exceptions hitherto only known as fos
silsare new and speclnlly modified
forms of families nnd genera Inhabiting
shallow waters In modern times, and
have been driven down to the depths of
the ocean by their moro powerful rivals
In the battle of life, much as tho an
cient Britons were compelled to with
draw to the barren and inaccessible
fastnesses of Wales. Some of their or
gans have undergone considerable mod
ification In correspondence to the
changed conditions of their new habi
tats. Thus down to 900 fathoms their
eyes have generally become enlarged,
to make the best of the faint light
which may possibly penetrate there.
After 1,000 fathoms these organs are
either still further enlarged, or so
greatly reduced that in some species
they disappear algother and are re
placed by enormously long feelers. The
only light at great depths which would
enable large eyes to be of any service
Is the phosphorescence of deep-sen ani
mals. We know that at the surface this
light Is often very powerful, and Sir
Wyvllle Thomson has recorded one oc
casion on which the sea nt night was
"a perfect blaze of phosphorescence,
so strong that lights and shadows were
thrown on the sails and It was easy to
read the smallest print." It Is thought
possible by several naturalists that cer
tain portions of the sea bottom may be
as brilliantly Illuminated by this sort
of light as the streets of a European
city after sunse. Some deep-sea fish
have two parallel rows of small circu
lar phosphorescent organs running
along the whole length of their bodies,
and as they glide through the dark
waters of the profound abysses they
must look like model mail ships with
lows of shining portholes.

Altoona, Jan. 14. The arrest of Tony

According to the stories of the chil
