CO Jtr. i A rj-" Vol. XVIIL Astoria, Oregon, Tuesday Morning, December 5, 188 No. 55. mmm JpJyWJvWili'A H THE BOTTOM OP THE AT- LANTIC. In ji lecture delivered at the National Academy of Sciences, Columbia college, says the New York Sun, Prof. A. E. Verrili, of Yale college, describes the physi cal and geological character of our coast, especially that which lies beneath the gulf stream. He has made 1,500 observations this summer for the United States fish commission. He has cruised from Labrador to Chesapeake bay and about 200 miles. out to sea. About sixty miles outside of Nantucket is a streak of very cold water, and animals dredged up are like those caught in the waters of Green land, Spitzbergen, or Siberia. The water is fifty fathoms deep and the bed of the ocean is of clay. Uoul ders weighing 800 or 1,000 pounds are dredged up. Prof. Verrili be lieves they are brought down by icebergs from the arctic regions and dropped when the ice melts. The boulders are found as far south as Long Island. Further out to sea, seventy to one hundred and twentr miles from the southeast ern coast of New England, the bottom of the sea, which has in elined very gradually eartward, forming a table land, takes a sud den dip downward, so that where as, the water on the edge of the bluff is 100 fathoms deep, at the bottom of the basin it is 1,000 fathoms deep. The slope is as high and as steep as Mount Wash ington, and on its summit, which is level, a diver, could he go to so low a depth, could not put out his hand without touching a living creature. The bottom of the sea is covered just there with a fauna which has never before been found outside of the Mediterra nean, the trull or Mexico, the In- fllb' m r-hor frnrirnl rnmnno 'Plin iMaaber of SDecies of fish dredfred -1P A 0 op :s ouu, ana over nan or them ifcfcve never before been seen by mtur&lists. Seventy kinds of fish. rtmnety of Crustacea, and 270 mol- Vlttfiks have been added to our vfauriR. The age of many of the jpecimens shows that they must i -rbe permanent in that region. The trowel let down from the ship by a mile of rope brings up a ton of - living and dead crabs, shrimps, star fish, and as the trowel simply -scrapes over a small surface, the ocean bed is plainly carpeted with creatures. Sharks are seen by thousands in this region, and countless dolphins, N but seems strange that not a fish bone is ever dredged up. A piece ", "" of wood may bo dredged up once c j, , year, due it is noneycomueu uv fine boring shell fish, and falls to h pieces at the touch of the hand. -"This shows what destruction is - -"v ; constantly going on in those " oeptns. ii a snip sinks at sea " ' V .tfith all on board, it would be eat r x5 P by fish with the exception of &tbe metal and that would corrode - and disappear. Not a bone of a-human body would remain after ji.few days. It is a constant dis- . "ay of the survival of the fittest. Nothing made by the hand of man was dredged up after cruising for " smiths in the track of ocean ves sels except coal clinkers shoved "overboard from steamships. Here Prof. Verrili corrected himself. X Twenty-five miles from land he dredged up an India rubber doll. 'That, he said, was one thing the fish could not eat. r1 Here the gulf stream is forty miles further west than the map j shows, Prof. Verrili continued; and this stream of warm water from the south nourishes the tropi cal life near Massachusetts. The 4 tanperature further in shore is 33 degrees in August, on the edge of tfeejsubmarine Mount Washington N it degrees, and towards the bot jtoea of the basin, 39 degrees, wkile further out to sea the tem- v ftentare grows colder. On the surface the -jelly fish, nautilus, and the Portuguese man-of-war, with sfcar trapieal fish are found. In tftifbeH the tile fish, about which 9 fpss&fc was sakLa year ago, were -,Spsd Ik JjatSMse quantities, but r, jucaomgn expeamons inads 'for the express purpose of catching some, not one could be taken. Undoubtedly they had been killed to a fish by a storm, which carried the cold water into the gulf stream; indeed, it is known that a cold current of water resting on the ocean's bed may contain arctic fish and a cur rent of warm water, floating over it may be alive with tropical fish. As to the quantity of light at the bottom of the sea there has been much dispute. Animals dredged from below 700 fathoms either have no eyes, or faint indi cations of them, or else their eyes are very large or protruding. Crab's eyes are four or five times as large as those of a crab from the surface water, which shows that light is feeble, and that eyes to be of any use must be large and sensitive. Another strange thing is that when the creatures in those lower depths have any color, it is of orange red, or red dish orange. Sea anemones, corals, shrimps and crabs, have this brilliant color. Sometimes it is pure red, and in many speci mens it inclines toward purple. Not a green or blue fish is found. The orange red is the fish's pro tection, for the bluish green light in the bottom of the ocean makes the orange or red fish appear of a neutral tint, and hides it from enemies. Many animals are black, others neutral in color. Some fish are provided with boring tails, so that they can burrow in the mud. Finally, the surface of the sub-marine mountain is covered with shells, like an ordinary sea beach, showing that it is the eat ing house of vast schools of carni vorous animals. A codfish takes a whole oyster into its mouth, cracks the shells, digests the meat, and spits out the rest. Crabs crack the shells and suck out the meat. In that way come whole mounds of shells that are dredged up. Murder cf "Wapato Dave." An old Indian, famed all over Oregon, and known as "Wapato Dave," with his wife, were found dead last Tuesday near "Willia mina, in Yamhill county, both lying with their heads nearly severed from their bodies, evident ly from blows with an ax in a powerful hand. The same day Tom Gilbert, another Indian who belongs to the Grand Itondc Indian agency, came from "Willa mina into that reservation fearfully drunk, and exhibiting a strange and weird aspect. The Indian was locked up, and the next morning the horrible story of the murder of "SYapato Dave and his India wife was brought to the agent, Mr. P. B. Sinnott. At the same time the information was brought that Gilbert had attacked Daniel, the son of Yapato Dave, and he being young and active, got away with a badly Mattered face and a frightful cut on his hand, barely escaping with his life. Mr. Sinnott immediately organized a jury of Indians to in quire into the murder, and the result of their investigation was to charge the crime upon Tom Gil bert. Mr. Sinnott put the accused in irons and at once wrote down to U. S. District Attorney Watson to know how he should proceed in the case. Judge Watson has the case under advisement, and will soon decide whether the case shall be tried by state court or by tribal law. Under the United States law the United States courts cannot try cases where Indians have committed crimes upon the person or property of an Indian. Wapato Dave, the murdered man, has had a most i emarkable career. The truthful records of his life would make a volume of ten times the excitement and interest found by the average young American in the famous Indian novels. He was chief of the once famous tribe of Wapato Indians, the most powerful of the aborigines of the Willamette valley. It is impossible to tell his age. The earliest white settlers of this valley remember him as an old man when they first knew him. He was often called into counsel in any difficulty between white men and Indians themselves, and by his usual keensiirhtednpss and remarkable good sense he often prevented great difficulties and bloodshed. But the later years of Dave's life have been marked by the influence and example of civilization. He had a great de sire to ape the white man's habits and ambitions. Among the Indi ans and in their courts at the reseivation he became a great lawyer, and was often employed to conduct cases before their courts. He was regarded as the most eminent pleader at the bar, and made many an honest penny in their petty cases. He h id a for midable rival in an Indian named Connoyer, who practiced at the same bar. But Dave said he lacked education and proper dis cernment in choosing and present ing his legal points. As before stated, Dave, having traveled ex tensively all over Oregon, was known to almost everybody, es pecially old Oregonians. He has often visited Portland, and was in this city only about a month ago in the interest of some of his cli ents. He was so old that he had become completely blind. His murder may afford his rival In dian attorney a chance to win fame as a defender of the murderer in the tribal court. But it is most likely so horrible an affair will be put into the state court. The ex citement in Yamhill county is in tense over this double murder, and the developments will be watched with eager interest by the thou sands who have known Dave and respected him for his later upright life.

Take a wire that is a little longerthan the mouth of the sleep er is wide and paste some pieces of paper on the wire, so that it will act as a windmill. On 'one of the pieces of paper pin a feather. The wind that comes with the snore will cause the paper windmill to revolve, and thu feather will lickle his nose. lie will wake up mad at first, and throw the windmill away, but another should be provided and inserted in the mouth.
