Dottlci With Which Samp.es Taken From Ocoan Depth Aro The water bottle for getting water for iinalysli from selected depths In the ocean Is a cylinder of brum. Ger man silver or other motnl which re sists the corrosion of sea water, gen erally about two Inches In diameter mill twelve or fourteen Inches long, with upwnrd opening valve ut the top mid bottom, connected together on a central stein.

During tho lowering of the line the vnlves of the Lottie nro kept unsealed by the pns sage of the water through the cylin der during Its descent, but when tho motion Is rcrorsod the vnlves seat themselves and are locked by the de scent of a Hiiiull propeller In tho framework above the upper valve, which rides idly on a sleeve during the lowering or the bottle, but descends along a screw thread to press the valves upon their seats when the lino commences to he hauled up. A speci men of the water nt the depth to which the water bottle has descended Is thus brought to the surface confined with in the bottle, nnd a series of speci mens from different depths may bo obtnlucd nt ono haul by securing a scries of wnter bottles at the required Intervals along the sounding line.

The tragic ending of n Jnpnncso love story Is reported by the Japan Chronicle from TVtizukl. a little seaside village In the ptovluee of Slilzuokn. Ouo Miitsusaka. twenty years old, fell In love ultli Ono O-biin. u girl seventeen years old. The young couple sought the consent of their pareii'Ji. and the rather anil mother of the girl refused to sanction the union. The two lover decided to commit sui cide rather than be separated. Hy ap pointment they met ut it trusting place that hud been the tcetie of their love making mid embarked in a llsliltig boat. At ii point some distance from shore they bound themselves together with some cloth brought along to serve that purpose uud threw themselves Into the sea. Committing 'shlnjii." ns lovers' sui cides are culled In Japan, Is such mi ordinary occurrence thnt little atten tion Is attracted by It. but this tragedy was followed by something exceptional In Japan. When the two bodies, still bound to gether, were wnhed ashore the otll clals who examined them turned them over to their respective parent. The villagers were so deeply alTccicd that they called upon the two bereaved families to "do Justice" to the boy nnd girl by uniting them In marriage after death. The mayor of the village was especially Insistent thnt the rllo3 lie performed, "so that tlio deceased might be safely united in tho next world." The parents agreed, the cere mony was carried out In duo form, nud presents were exchanged between the two families. The ceremony wns legally registered Just ns If It had taken place before the deaths of tho brldo and bridegroom. Lufcndlo ileum In Ills "Glimpses ot Unfamlllnr Japan" and "Gleanings In Hiiddhu-llelds" never brought tho at tention of tho Occident to any Japa nese custom or occurrence stranger than this real happening that llnds Its way into tlio columns of n Japaneso newspaper as a feature of the day's news. Louisville Courier-Journal. MADDENING MONOTONY. Tho Graveyard Gort of Life That Ob tains In Sierra Leone. It Is dliU' ult to explain how com plete In normal times Is the dullness of the small villages In the protecto rate of Sierra Leoue. on the const of western Africa, says a writer In the Nineteenth Century and After. An hour before Hiiurlo Vlwriowy figures move uolcelesuly through the narrow alleys which seimrnte the mini wullcd liousiM and In single tile pass out ot sight toward the farm lands A little Inter children nnd u few women leave the houses to obtain water for cook ing.

Food time generally brightens people even when it only means rice ami peppers. Soon after sunset nil sign of life ceases. There Is no light In the houses, because oil Is expensive, and ii dying tire Is enough when thero Is nothing to see except those you hnvo seen all day; there are no sounds, save a baby's cry at Intervals, or perhaps the weird call of somo night bird, be cause people cannot talk much when no ouo has anything fresh to say. Next day will be the same, and so will bo every day In the year except ut festival times, such us when tho girls or boys return, dancing mid guyly decked, from the 1 'or roll Hush. There Is uo church, uu postman, no passing horse or carriage and no newspapers. Warming Gold Dlehes.
