Tho voguo of ragtimo songs gavo

Motts came to a conclusion.

The very first production was a suc

the atock company has brought to the

HUGHES FOR GOV
ERNOR OF NEW YORK.
Hearst Carries Most Cities, But Total
la Against Him.
Now York, Nov. 7. According to
returns received up to an early hour
this morning, Charles E. Hughos, Re
publican candldato for Governor, has
been elected by 50,000 or moro plural
ity. Outsldo of Greater Now York,
with 1G0 election districts missing, Mr.
Hughes has a plurality of about 124,
000. In Creator Now York with G9
election districts missing, W. R.
Hearst, tho Domocratlo nnd Independ
ence LenGtio candldato, has n plurality
of 76,030. Mr. Hearst carried all tho
boroughs of tho groatcr city, despite
tho fact that tho early roturns seemed
to lndlcnto that ho had lost Brooklyn.
No dcflnlto figures nro yot available
as to tho results with regard to tho
stnto olllcors, and both Democrats and
Republicans nro claiming victories
from Lieutenant-Governor down.
The Indications aro that tho Stnto
Legislature will show llttlo chango in

of Otto RosaUky for General Sessions

Tho Judiciary nominators' tickot was
defeated.

the Independence Leaguo, claims that
Hearst has been elected. He sent out
late last night telegrams to all Inde

was
New York, Nov. 8. According to in
complete returns from all qvcr. tho
stato rccolved up to 10:30 p. m.,
Charles E. Hughes, tho Republican
candldato, has been elected Govornor
of Now York stnto over William Ran
dolph Hearst, tho nomtnoo of the
Democratic party and tho Independ
ence Leaguo, by approximately a plur
ality of 40,000. Two years ago Gov
ernor Hlgglns was eloctcd on tho Re
publican ticket by 80,560.
Somo doubt waa expressed tonight
as to tho fate ot tho Democratic and
Independence Leaguo tickets outside
of Mr. Hearst, soveral of the New York
newspapers which have been support
ing Mr. Hughes doclarlng that there
waa a chance for the subordinate offi
cers of tho Domocratlo and Independ
ence Leaguo combination having been
elected.
The latest figures seems to indicate
that Mr. Hughes' plurality above the
Bronx exceed 115,000.
To offset this, Mr. Hearst's plurality
in Greater New York will probably be
from 75,000 to 80,000.
In Brooklyn, where Sonator Patrick
H. McCarren mndo a bitter fight
against Mr. Hearst, the latter carried
the borough by a small plurality, prob
ably 4,000. At ono time it soomed that
Hughes had been successful In Brook
lyn, but the late returns were all
strongly in favor of the Democratio
candidate.
Mr. Hearst has boon given a major
ity of nearly 70,000 in Manhattan ana
the Bronx. Queens county, which In
cludes Long Island City, has gone for
Hearst by from 6,000 to 8.000, and
Richmond, Staten Island, has also
given the Democratic candidate a
plurality.

were placed against a wall In tho

According to Cosmos, tho employment

como common In many workshops.
Among othor places whoro such saws

As long ago ns 1821 Dnrrlcr and Colla

attains a depth of flvo and one-half
miles In the Kermadec and Tougu ra
vines, which In themselves attain a
depth of 20,630 fft, whllo they nro
separated from each other by a chain of
mountains 0,8D0 feet In height Thero
w also tho Aleutian ravine, which
reaches a depth of 23,000 feet
Mostly subaqueous scenery Is monot
onous; there are no abrupt declivities
or preclploea; except In the vicinity of
the coasts or near islands of volcanic
formation, everything belug rounded off
and amoojthed down by the action of
the water. Close to the land there Is
somewhat more variety. The Euro
pean plateau slopes gradually away
down Into the depths and a fair view
can be obtained here, provided a maxi
mum depth at 1,800 feet be not ex
ceeded. At first abundant vegetation and ani
mal life are met with, but below the
depth mentioned the aceue changes;
first the light grows dimmer and dim
mer and the deeper we descend the
lower de the thermometer fall, except
In the case of the Mediterranean, whero
the temperature Is, relatively speaking,
high, as this sea la contained lu what
la practically a closed basin. In tho
Atlantic the temperature of tbo water
was taken for a depth of 10,08(1 feet
The surface temperature of 08 degrees
fell to 88 degrees at a depth of 0,602
feet After 0,602 feet the temperature
falls, but slowly as greater depths are
attained, the cold being practically uni
form and not subject to, any changes of
season. Scientific American.
