It Starts at Iceland and Bisects the Ocean Down Almost to Cape Horn. In Places It Rises Above the Surface, Forming Groups of Islands. A sketch of tho "landscape" of tho ocean bed Is given by Dr. A. E. Ship ley in an article In the Edinburgh He view: "The passougers and tho crow of a liner racing over the surface of the Atlantic are apt to lmnglpcthnt under them Is a vast layer of water of vary Inj,' depth sparsely Inhabited by n few fish. As a matter of fact, the whole of this groat ocean Is teeming with life. If instead of taking ship wo could take to tho water and walk across the bed of the Atlantic to Arierica, starting from tho shores of ww 'era Europe, wc should in effect lie traveling through t succession of new countries. Not onlj would the surroundii g physical condl ti .is vary as we advanced, but the a.i.inal and plant lKe would vary In correlation with the altering physical condition.". "Walking farther luid farther toward tho depths of the Atlantic, wo should soon lose all sight of the algae, and tho shallow water llsht'jo plaice and sole, whiting, skates, dogllsh and others and cod would give way to the inegriui and tho hake. The sea lloor would gradually change from roolt or gravel or stones to sands and ultimately to mud or oozes of various tints, their original colors often modified by the action of the decomposition of organic particles la them and on them. All these finer deposit? are derived from the neighboring land and are blown seaward by offshore winds or washed down by rains and streams and carried out to tho sea by rivers. "Tl distance to which lino matter In (suspension mny be carried Is very great. The Kongo Is said to carry its characteristic mud as far out to sea as COO miles, and tho Ganges and tho Indus as far ns 1,000 miles. "Except In the neighborhood of such great rivers a subaqueous traveler would soon pass beyond -what Sir John Murray has called tho 'mud line,' a lino that limits tho terrigenous deposits everywhere surrounding dry laud. Having reached tills limit, wo must proceed warily, for at the mud line, at an average depth of a hundred fathoms, wo shall flml ourselves at the edgo of tho continental shelf, that rim which extends seaward to a varying dlstanco from all land areas, tho rim on which Great Ilrltalu rests. Ueyond lies tho continental slope, a precipice moro or less abrupt and more or less high, descending by steep declines or terraced cliffs until depths of 2,000 fnthoms nro reached. "Tho Atlantic, compared with the other great oceans, has an unusually largo area of comparatively shallow water. Of its total area 27.5 per cent Is covered by water less than 1,000 fathoms deep; IS per cent lies between 3,000 and 2,000 fathoms and 47 per cent between 2,000 and 3.000 fathoms; the remaining 7.5 per cent Is still deeper. "At the foot of the continental slopo lies nn Illimitable plain of a uniform dull, grayish buff color, flat and fea tureless as the desert, Uiul only divers!- lled by an occasional ns yet uncovered rock or wreck or tho Htrnlght lino of a recently laid cable. This plain con tinues with scarcely a change in scen ery or in level until wo approach tho great mid-Atlantic ridge. As Bruce has shown, this ridge, which roughly bisects tho Atlantic, extends from Ice laud as far south as flfty-tlireo degrees of south latitude, with a slight and qulto Inexplicable break Just under the equator. Tho rldgo runs nlmost parallel with tho eastern contour of North and South America, which, in turn, as the ordinary map will show, roughly cor responds with tho western contour of Europe and Africa. From tlmo to time the rldgo rises above th surface of tho water, as in tho Azores group, St Paul's rocks, . Ascension, Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island. "Having ascended tho eastern and descended tho western slopo of this nihl-A thai tic ridge, wo should again traverse plains of grayish ooze far moro extensive than any lovel land tnict known to geographers, and ns wo approached the American coast wo should gradually pass through, In re verts oilier, the zones of life traversed when leaving Europe. On tho eastern coast of America tho slopo Is much moro gradual than on the western coast of southern Europe and Africa."

Treatnttnt by Which the Affliction May Be Overcome. There is no cure for stuttering. Thfs does not mean that no stutterer can bo cured far from It but that there la no treatment which Is sure to cure. If a stutterer be taken In childhood, when tho alUIctlon Is first noticed, and care-, fully treated ho can sometimes bo cur ed and generally much Improved. Dr. Frank A. Ilrynnt of New York, writing In the Medical Record, says. the first thing to do Is to rankoisurc that there nro no obstructions In tho throat or nose, such ns 'enlarged ton sils or adenoids. The child must bo taught to breatho through bis hose. deeply and slowly, as a habit. He must not bo allowed to speak when excited nor when laughing or crying or In tho paroxysms of 'whooping, cough. He must never bo tickled. All causes of excitement must bo removed. Fresh' illr, scrupulous cleanliness, plain, nour ishing food, moderate exercise and, plenty of sleep In a dark room aro es sential. Mental treatment Is of great Impor tance. Any measures that will Increase mental poiso aro of Incomparable value. Tho stutterer must bb Impress ed with n dcslro to dvercomo what Is only a bad hnblt. He must be per suaded to study tho great art' of speak ing correctly. Thus, by careful, pa tient work on the part of his parents teachers and physicians, will ho gradu ally cure himself, or 'at least so I'm prove as to tnako tho a miction cease to bo serious.

Jinny years ago a maid employed by Miss I.undberg, a famous dancer of tlio Itoyal Opera In Stockholm, wns given a holiday by her 'pilstress nnd set out to take a walk. Passing a shabby little house in the poorest section of the city she heard u child's voice, which heem ed to her wonderfully fresh and bcauti ful, and, looking up, she saw a little girl sitting near tho window singing to a pet kitten. In great excitement she rushed to her mistress nnd told her of the exquisite voico sho had heard. Miss I.undberg was somewhat skep tical, but finally went to the houso nnd heard tho sweet sbng. She, too, was convinced of the grent natural beauty of tho child's voico arid reported It to Crocllus, the singing master of the opera. Croclius was also somewhat skeptl cal at first, but at Miss Lundberg's re quest he, too, went and, standing on the sidewalk, heard the child sing. Enraptured In turn, he told Count Uuke, mnnager of tho Itoyal opera, and arrangements were mado by which tho little girl sang for tho count.
