SCIENCE AND 'INDUSTRY. Expert hydrographers say that in its deepest parts the ocean's waters are so dense that a sunken ironclad would never reach the bottom. At Eedditch, England, 20,000 peo ple make more than 100,000,000 needles a year, and they are made and exported so cheaply that England has no rival and practically monopolizes the trade. Over 300,000 specimens of fossil in sects have been collected from various parts of the world. Of these, butter flies are among the very rarest, as less than 20 specimens all told have been found. The average depth of the sea, in yards, is as follows: Pacific, 4,252; At lantic, 4,026; Indian, 3,G58; Antarctic. 3,000; Arctic, 1,690; Mediterranean, 1,476; Irish, 240; English channel, 110; Adriatic, 45; Baltic, 43. The largest shipyards in the world are those of Harland & Wolf, of Bel fast, Ireland. The works employ nt, present over 9,000 skilled workmen and apprentices. Since its organization the firm has turned outover 1,000,000 tons of ocean-going craft. Between the ordinary harmless snake and such species as the cobra and viper there is great structural differ ence in the formation of the head. In highly poisonous snakes the lower jaw bone is shortened, while the transverse or inner jawbone is correspondingly lengthened. The largest maritime concern in the world, t he North German Lloyd, evi dently does not believe that the trade between America and Europe is de clining. This company has ordered two more fast liners of 13,000 tons burden each and four of 10,500 tons each, for its New York line. At present the company employs 80 steamers, with 302,166 on nage, and 80 barges, with a tonnage of 15,000. It is well known to jewelers that aluminium will mark a glass or "paste" diamond, but not the true gem, pro vided the surface is wet. This fact has now been applied to the production of a chemical tester, which consists of o small disk of aluminium, rapidly re volved by an electric motor. The stone to be tested is wetted and held against the edge of the disk by means of a spring clamp. THREW AWAY A FORTUNE. A Man Who Lost 880,000 Worth of Ambergris. ' The little town of Digby, N. S., is very much excited tut present over the finding of some ambergris by Mr. Isaiah Kinghorn, a fisherman who lives in Granville, a small villuge across the river from Digby. Mr. Kinghorn was in conversation with a St. John Tele graph rejwrter aaid told the story of his find. He had lieen rowing along the bay shore at Granville in hi bout and no ticed some "stuff" Hunting on the waiter. 1 1 looked to him like tallow. He took it into his boat and rowed to his home at Granville, where he tried to boil it down to make soft (ton p. Failing to do so, he threw the remainder of the supposed tallow away. He had about 100 pounds of the material in nil, he estimate?, and had only kept six pounds of it after the rest had been dustroyed. He whs told that it was a very valuwble article, and in consequence ho brought a. sample to St. John, where it was bIiowii to a drug gist, who offered for it a price which by no menus approached its value. Mr. Kinghorn went lxiok to Digby by the steamer Frlnoe Rupert nud took the ainlx'rgris to a local druggist, who, nl'ler close examination identified it, and on looking up t he price list found that it was worth three dollars per ounce. The, fisherman's feelings can be imagined when he learned that he had wasted 1kuI. 04 pounds of the am U'rgris, which, had he kept it, would have brought him for the lot $56,000. As it is, he only has left alxmt six pounds, which will bring him when sold the sum of $3,600. Mr. Kinghorn left a small piece with the druggist, which weighs about 1 ounces, and the latter will conduct the sale of the six pounds. The same which was shown to the Telegraph reporter at the drug store was broken from a lump weighing 42 pounds. It resembles a piece of tallow very much. Ambergris is a solid fatty substance of a dull gray color, the shades being variegated like mnrble, ami possesses a peculiar sweet earthy odor. H is a morbid seeivtion formed in the intestines of the sperma ceti whale, ami is generally found float ing on the seashore and in lumps weigh ing from one-half nn ounce to 100 pounds. Tho wimple is still in the hands of the Digby druggist and will prolmbly le sent to the states, where a deal will be made for the whole. It is needliwa to say that Mr, Kinghorn, who was so lucky in making the find, is be ing congratulated from nil quarters uKn his rapid rise on, the road U wealth. CHARACTER AND HYPNOTISM.

There is no other place in Oregon where the true sportsman oao enjoy him Belt with lens restrictions than in thj mountains and valleys surrounding Canyon City. Be is allowed a liberal construction of the l-tw, and there are no "trespass" notices to confront him. The mountains are alive with garni of all kinds deer and bear are plentiful and an ooowional coogsr can be found, and during the open season onr oitizens feast on the first mentioned, while not a few of tbe latter fall an easy prey to the unerring rifle of onr local sportsmen. Grouee, duotts, geese, swan, brandte, pelicans, sage-hens and other varieties of tbe feathered tribe abound and fornisb rare sport for the hunter.

Dighton Herald. WHY WOMEN HAVE THE BLUES. Tliey DUromird the Rules of Vhymlt'ml Well IleiiiK. "Why do so many women have melon cholia?" repeated the doctor, who has a large practice among the "depressed" and "nervous" feminine population. "Ueoause they don t care to avoid it. Because they absolutely disregard the rules of mental and physical well be ing. Because they would rather eat what they like and suffer indigestion and the blues afterwards than to eat what is good for them but doesn't tickle their palates. Because they'd rather sit about on soft cushions than take a tramp six miles through the open air, Because they haven't enough to occupy their minds and their hands. Then the doctor paused to take breath and began ngain somewhat less aggressively: "It is never the women who have cause to feel blue," he said, "who in- dulge in blues. The women who have shiftless husband, hard-hearted hind lords, sick babies and nil the usual ac companiments of poverty never grow so depressed thut they have to be treats ed for it. They are too busy. It's the woman with an adoring family, social position mid a comfortable Income who down t find life worth living. It isn't the servant girl who gets up at six to kindle the fire atul who slaves all day who indulges in melancholia, but the daughter of the funiily who arises at eight, dawdles over her breakfast, reiuls a little, practices a little, shops a little, craves excitement with all her heart, nnd is melancholic because she doesn't have it. "There is no hnbit which grows upon one eo rapidly," went on the doctor "It becomes a disease iu a very short, time. My own plan, whenever I feel nn attack coming on, is to put on my walking boot and tramp vigorously ns far as I can. It is simply Imixuu-ibte to exercise and feel blue at the name time. Of course, a general care of t he health is necessary and work is the chief factor in effecting a cure. Every woman who has a tendency to melan cholia should have an occupation which, if it doesn't entirely absorb her, will at least kw;i her busy. And she should give her mind up tc practical rather than theoretical affairs. She should study how to put an extra shelf in a cupboard or flow to stop a squeak ing door, or how to make nn overshoe that won't tome olT nt the heel, rather than the teachings of the theosophieal school of the philosophy of He rbert Spencer. Ordinarily good health, plenty of exercise, plenty of work, and mi interest in the affairs of this world are the great preventive and cures of melancholia." London Doctor.

While the adulteration of flmr is practiced and tbe law is being enforced strenuously agaiust it, some cf the papers are again miking a bugaboo of tb9 snppoae l renewal of the bnaiuecs. The New York Ctnmeroial has the following to sny : "The habitual adulteration of flour in this oountry is becoming a very serions matter and one that should be regulated, or rather annihilated by no aot of con gress. Ton man who adulterates it with white day is a criminal at heart. It is said that the average chemist can not deteot the adulteration, What, then, are grooery storekeepers, from whom the vast majority of people get their sup plies, to do? The day with whiob flour is said to be adulterated, is found in South Carolina. It is olaimed that by judiciously using it as an ingredient $400 can bs saved on one carload of fl -nr. Another adulterant is white rook which is ground and mixed in. This is not so popular, because in long shipments it sifts to tbe bottom. Then there is a by product of glaoose which is very un popular with some of the mill men. It oontaios sulphuric aoid, and there is in it so little nutriment that 50 ponnds would not be any more sustaining than one good hot biscuit like our mothers used to make. A less injurious mixture is corn flour; that is, Indian meal ground until it is as floe as wheaten flour. Gov ernment experts at Washington bave flailed to deteot 15 per cent of this adulterant in samples set before them." Of course the story is a good one, as the majority of food adulterations go, in faot rather takes tbe lead of most of tbem, but is spoiled somewhat by the fact that congress anticipated tbe Com mercial's advice by something over a year ago, and in a reoent communication Editor Gallagher of tbe Modern Mills, informs Tbe Trade that tbe law against flour adulteration is being rigidly en forced.

MEN 037 They Are Awkward Appendages In So ciety the Jlon-iton lioj. ' It is sometimes interesting to observe the awkward use men make of their hands at formal indoor assemblages of the two sexes, says the New York Sun. To the larger number these members are a positive incumbrance, and every device is resorted to toiind employment for them. Even in the older social cen ters of Europe a graceful and easy dis posal of the hands, by men, is recog nized as exceptional. During the reign of Louis XIV., XV. and XVI., when the elegancies of high life were studied in the minutest detail, the superfluity of the hands was a matter of grave con cern. Relief was found, however, in the pommel of the sword, the bonbon or the snuffbox. These proved havens of refuge, nnd manual awkwardness was saved from shipwreck. The snulf box endured until the early years of tho. present century; butsince it has passed away the society man is left to such de vices for the use of his hands as inge nuity can suggest. The beacon of sal vation is at last in sight through the vogue, now in progress of growth in 1'aris, for the use of bonbon boxes by men. These receptacles are coming into common use, and many are of great cost mid beauty of workmanship. They are made in chased gold nud silver, or enameled, and set witb precious stones. Not only do they contribute a decora five nota to social functions, but they offer grateful relief to those men whose hands nreappnrently superfluous on such occasions. Without doubt this new fashion will find favor with us, and within a brief period thousands of these bonbon boxes will be made in Newark nnd exhibited iu Chicago society as an eestrnl heirlooms of the time of Louis 'IV.
