but st a depth of a little more than four
feet the temperature becomes 132 de
grees, but declines again to 66 degrees
at the bottom. The surface water Is
fresh, but the warm water beneath is
intensely saline, and the explanation of
the difference of temperature Is that.
since the specific beat of salt water is
less than that of fresh water, the salt
water Is more easily heated by the sun.
and Having risen to a higher tempera-
tare than that of the overlying fresh
water, retains its beat because the
fresh water prevents Its escape by

DAMAGES WERE RECOVERED.
Kmployojent Bureau Ha to Make Good
Uoum by Theft of Domestic.
une morning a lew weeks ago a
dentist with a large and lucrative prac
tice in Paris, awoke to make the very
disagreeable dlitcovery that a maid
whom he and his wife had engaged
some days before bad flitted, carrying
away with ber all the money and jew
elry on which sbe could lay her bands.
together with gold which be nsed for
professional purposes, and last not
least, a goodly collection of sets of
false teeth belonging to or destined
for diffeent patients. One of these.
Indeed. Is said to have been the prop
erty of a former minister of world
wide reputation, while it Is even assert
ed with bated breath that a certain
tooth, which had also been annexed by
the girl, who Is evidently no respecter
of persons, had garnished the mouth
of a policeman who Is In such nn ex
alted position that be acknowledges no
superior.
tte tbat as it may, the robbery was
extremely annoying, since, besides the
loss of the valuables, the worthy dent
ist was placed on the boms of a di
lemma with regard to some of his
most eminent patrons. The maid had
been secured by blm and bis wife at
a registry office, by which sbe had
been warmly recommended ss a young
woman of the utmost honesty, who
bad recently come up from the coun
try, and was therefore without guile.
So ber employers Imagined that tbey
bad lighted upon a veritable treasure,
snd great was their disappointment
and Indignation when tbey realized
the extent of the dlaster wblcb bad be
fallen tbem.
Their wrath Increased when the den
tist betook himself to the prefecture
of police to report the theft and to
stimulate the energy of the authorities.
He was shown the photograph of the
glrl,wbo had been "wanted" for some
time, and with good reason, for, as
one official put It, "yours is the eighth
place wblcb she bas cleaned out In
this way. and we have been looking
for her for months."
"But," objected the dentist "at the
registry office, where I picked ber up,
I was told that she had Just arrived
from the -country with the best of
characters."
"Well, that Is a good Joke," replied
the functionary. "Why, we bad sent a
photograph to that very bouse with a
note to the effect tbat we were In
search of ber, as she bad committed
seven robberies.' They packed the
young woman off to you instead of to
us, although we, too, sad a plat Tor
bt-r wuicti, when she' is cangiit, sne
will keep for some time."
On the strength of this disclosure the
demist took Infill action against this
particular servants' registry office)
claiming damages to the auiotmt
t'400. The case has come In' fore the
civil court of the Selue. with the re
sult that fllOO has been accorded to
the plalutlff, the judgment settlug
forth that as these ollloos enjoy
regular monopoly It Is their bouudc
duty to be careful and not to welcome
all the adveutnrers who may apply to
them. Meanwhile, sura the 1-omlou

successfully defied all the exertions

WIVES AND BEATINGS.
Woman Discos the Atnouut of Abase
Their Hex Should Kndttre. ,
"How much beatinit should a wife
bear before she made up her mind to
leave her , husband?" was oue of the
main subjects discussed to-day at the
women's conference of the In-IIls-
Name Society lu All Souls' Church, a
Madison avenue and 00th street. lu
the opinion of Mrs. Louise beymour
Houghton, editor of a religious news
paper, the wife should submit rather
than leave her husband to be at the
mere of bad Influences.
Mrs. Houston said that, although
there were times In the present state
of society when a divorce seemed neces
sary, a blither and more Ideal state
would make such a thing impossible.
She called attention to the stormy do
mestic life of the uronhet Hoses, In
order to show to what extent one part
ner should bear with the indiscretions
and the sins of the other.
The sentiments produced a sensation.
and there was a murmur of dissent
One of those present asked If the
woman Injured by an Intoxicated hus
band should remain with him. Mrs.
Houghton said that she bad known
many noble wives and mothers whose
husbands had beaten them every Satur
day night The speaker said that It
would be better for the family If the
Injured wife had the grace and the
strength of mind, and, above all, the
love for her husband, to bold to her
family relations.
Mrs. Elizabeth B. Grannls suggested
that such treatment of a wife on the
part of a husband was degrading to the
marriage relation. Mrs. Houghton an
swered that one soul could not degrade
another without that soul's consent.
She said tbat she bad known In the
lower walks of life of husbands who
bad beaten and ill-treated their wives.
and tbat after all, they had come
around all right; whereas. If the wives
had left their lords snd masters, the
men might have gone Irretrievably to
the bad.
What I wish to ask," said Mrs. Ar
thur Smith, "is, bow long should a wife
submit to beating before she leaves ber
husband?"
"Mrs. Houghton, If I understand ber
correctly," replied Mrs. Grannls, "said

thing which would please the lover of

books.
"I always did love Jlmmie Burns'

At this point Mr. Smith could contain
himself no further. 'Jlmmie' Burns:,

Any one who rests bis head on a pil

few months one will be able to sleep
much more calmly than ever before,
and, moreover, the general health will
be much improved. This statement Is
not made lightly, but Is tbe result of
long experience. The next step Is to re
move the pillow, for not until then will
tbe circulation of the blood be as free
aa it should be. Tbe pillow and bolster
keep the bead and neck at an abnormal
angle, and consequently tbe sleeper'
