What manner o f life do their weird defei- sena lea d f Some o f the condition« have been conjectured by Mr. P. L. Lowe in “ A Naturalist on Deaeri Islands "T he creatures o f these nether most depths brood forever in the appalling silence o f uttermost night, preying one upon another in constant carnivorous strife, living l e r a pressure that ia almost in conceivable and in a temperature so low that it actually seems to defy the possibility o f organic life. “ Every hour o f their life, every day, every year, ia passed in the same stagnation o f hideous change lessness in circumstances o f almost absolute uniformity. For them there is no night; there are no sons; there is no sun, no m oon; there are no changes ffom warmth to cold or from cold to warmth. We cannot even conceive that there is anything in the nature o f sound. There is absolutely nothing to mark the flight o f time. “ The great cold o f the bottom water, o f the ocean is best brought home to those who have examined the contents of a haul o f the trawl. The bottom ooze ia intensely cold, and it is a strange sensation, while your back is broiling beneath a tropical sun, to have your hand nearly frozen off by the stiff cold mud or'ooze that you are compelled to handle while sorting the contents o f the trawl. “ The pressure at a depth o f 8,634 feet amounts to nearly two tons to the Bquare inch. We ourselves, liv ing at ordinary levels, are subjected to a constant pressure o f nearly fif teen pounds on every square inch of our bodies. We can calculate, but only feebly conceive, what the pres sure must be at the bottom o f th ose abysses. “ Take again the question of light. Photographic plates let down beneath the surface o f Lake Geneva showed that at a depth of 610 feet the effect on the plates was no more than that which would be iroduced on a dark, moonless n igh t limilar results in the Mediterra nean, whose waters are unusually clear, were reached at a depth of 1,200 feet, so that we may conclude that in general at any depth below this a profound darkness exists. This complete absence o f sunlight at once puts out o f account the pos- sibility o f plant life. And this dll - economy of important fa factor in the animal life, human or otherwise, at once raises the question, How do deep sea animals ultimately live?” Bamboo In tho Orient. Bamboo, one o f the most provi dent gifts o f nature to a people, is put to so many uses by the natives o f the tropics, especially in the orient, that it is difficult to see how they could, live without it. Among the principal uses to which it is put may be set down: Building houses, furniture o f all kinds, cas ing of artesian wells, water buckets, rafts, pipes, window shades ‘and blinds, mats, umbrella ribs, hats, raincoats, outrigger on native prows, cover for junks, palanquin poles, blowpipes, picture frames, decorative purposes, including paint ings; paper and paper pulp, baskets, small bridges, walking sticks and flutes.

SPANISH E T IQ U E TTE 'T oaL ft irïraoKËsr ts Ssrvants and Kven tbs •trsst Beggars. #f the Unsolved Riddles In She World of Numbers. From what we sew and from what happened to us I made up * page o f Spanish etiquette. I t ia probably not correct, bat I offer it as the result o f our experiences. Other people may have bad differ ent impressions. I f ypn are o f the female sex never wear a short skirt, a sailor or English walking hat un- you are willing to have people stare at you and sometimes call after you. I f you have red hair dye it or be prepared to be saluted as “ Rubia.” Never bow to a man un less he lifts his hat first. I f you are a man you may drees as an English man, an operatic tenor or a chorus singer from Carmen without excit ing remark. Never wear glasses. If you are blind take a dog on a string. When you sit down at the table or arise always bow and say, “ Buenas.” This is imperative. You may jostle people without apology, but never speak to any one without saying “ your grace,” be he noble, friend or beggar. “ W ill your grace do me the favor to bring me my coffee at 9 o’clock tomorrow ?” would strike an American bellboy with dismay. But it is the literal translation o f the Spanish request. Never tell a beggar to clear out, but say that you have left your purse at home and that yon will remember him tomorrow or gently murmur that God will reward him, whereat he will smile, thank you and depart. These sa m e ’beggars, who spring up on every side, seem to have a code o f etiquette we could not fath om. After two or three days there were a few who begged only from me, two or three others who be sought Jean. Evidently we were understood to be the patrons o f cer tain beggars who out o f a crowd of mendicants were the only ones to approach us who would take their dole with thanks or if we said “ to morrow” would smilingly back away at once. A trip into Spain ought to mean more than sketches o f life as we saw it in a single city. Y et it was our pleasure to linger on in Mad rid, with the exception o f three days spent in Toledo and the Escu- rial, for the whole o f our -two months’ holiday, and to return di rect to Paris without seeing any of the southern country, so beloved by other tourists. So can any one won der that to us Spain means Madrid, the city o f marvelous contrasts?— E. C. Allen in Outing. There are many mysteries in the world o f numbers— little things the conditions o f whieh a child can un derstand, though the greatest minds eannot master. Everybody haa heard the remark, “ It ia as hard as squaring the circle,” though many people nave a very haxy notion o f what it means. It is this: I f you have a circular piece o f paper, how are you to cut out another piece in the form fc o f a square that shall con tain exactly the same area? Well, it cannot be done with exactitude, though we can get an answer near enough for all practical purposes, because it ia not possible to say aay in exact numbers what ia the propor tion o f the diameter to the circum ference. But it is only in recent times that it has been proved to be impossible. Only cranks now waste their time in trying to solve this venerable puzzle. Again, we can never measure ex actly in numbers the diagonal o f a square. I f you have a windowpane exactly a foot on each aide, there is the distance from corner to corner staring you in the face, yet you can never say in exact numbers what is the length o f that diagonal. The novice will at once suggest that we might take our diagonal first, say an exact foot, and then con struct our square. Yes, you can do this, but then von can never say ex actly what is the ler length o f the side. You can have : it which way you like; but you cannot have it both ways. Here are a conple o f puzzles that have not been proved to be impos sible, but that nevertheless have not been solved. They will give the reader some fascinating employ- ; during spare hours if he hap pens to be fond o f figuring. First, then, take the round table problem. Nine persons are stopping at a boarding house, and they all sit down together to dinner on twenty- eight successive nights at a round table. The rule o f the house is that no person shall on any two occa sions have the two same neighbors. How is it to be done, if at all ? Here is another poser. I f we write down the number, composed of seventeen ones— 11,111,111,111,- 111,111— and ask yon to find some number— other than 1 or the num ber itself— that will divide it with out remainder the answer will give yon considerable labor to discover. We will, however, say at once that the only numbers that will divide it are 2,071,723 and 5,363,222,857. Now add two more ones to the num ber, and we cannot tell yon whether it can he exactly divided by any number or not, for nobody knows. I f you can find such a divisor you will have done something that no body else in the world baa yet suc ceeded in doing. And we cannot say that it is impossible. Pellten* It Was Naw to tho Biohop. At an unusually large dinner par ty, where the guest o f honor was an English bishop, the butler, an elder ly man, was obliged to bring in from a friend’s house an inexpe rienced lad to help him in the din ing room. The awkward helper an noyed the butler beyond endurance with questions as to his duties. ' He continued interminably until the butler,- worn out and nervous, said ironically: “ All you will need to do is to stand behind the bishop’ s chair, and whenever his lordship puts down his glass you must reach .over and wipe his mouth with a napkin.” That silenced his assistant. But the young man actually took the or der seriously, and as soon as dinner began he stationed himself behind the bishop, waited till his lordship had drunk and put down his glass, and then, as deli deliberately as his nervousness would permit, he open ed oat a large napkin and wiped tl dignified old gentleman’s m onth! i nw ‘ Notloe tih m bjr ft ran that th« unüereigned, •dmlaiatrstor, with tho will annex«4, of th* m UU of Sodolphna F.
