The Ocean Depths.
The greatest known depth of the sea is in
the South Atlantic ocean, midway between
the island of Tristan d’Acunha and the mouth
of the Rio de la Plata. The bottom was there
reached at a depth of 40,236 feet, or 8% miles,
exceeding by more than 17.000 feet the height
of Mt. Everest, the loftiest mountain in the
world. In the North Atlantic ocean, south
of Newfoundland, soundings have been made
to a depth of 4,580 fathoms, or 27,480 feet,
while depths equaling 34,000 feet, or 6%
miles, are reported south of the Bermuda
islands. The average depth of the Pacific
ocean between Japan and California is a lit-
tle over 2,000 fathoms; between Chili and the
Sandwich Islands, 2,500 fathoms, and be-
tween Chili and New Zealand, 1,500 fathoms.
The average depth of all the oceans is from
2,000 to 2,500 fathoms.—Iron.

Sex and Denomination.
While loading sugar on our boat on Sun-
day recently at a Louisiana plantation some
of the passengers strolled back toward the
settlement and went into a church just as a
couple had . taken their child in for baptism.
The old colored preacher, noticing the large
crowd of white visitors, extended them a
cordial welcome and asked all to be seated,
then, turning to the couple before him, asked:
“Ob what denomination am dis chile?”
“Sab?” said the young father, evidently-
perplexed by the word denomination.
“I axed yo ob what denomination de chile
war,” repeated the minister, a little severely.
The parents looked at each other in evi-
dent confusion for a moment; then the fa-
ther stammered out: “1—we—doesn’t know
what yo means by denomination, sah. ”
“Huh! yo don’t!” replied the preacher,
scornfully; “well, den, I’ll simplify it’cord-
in’ to yo ign’ance, so yo kin understand it;
am de chile a boy or a gal chile?”—Cincinnati

The Hair of Cattie.
During recent discussions on the cost of
cattle to dressed beef men and the. amount
they can make out of a carcass, there has been
little or no allo wanes made for the hair, which
sells very freely and has latterly been applied
to a great variety of uses. Tons of it are
used in the manufacture of hats, and yearly
as much in weaving cloth for gentlemen’s
clothing and in making other so-called
woolen goods. The most durable cloth yet
manufactured is a mixture of wool and cow’s
hair. The hair mixed with cotton makes a
very passable cheap article, winch wears well

Killed Her Sister.
Special to Evening Tribune.
Paris, Jan. 30.—A horrible crime was
committed in a provincial town. A girl,
aged 10 oears, was walking in the fields
with her little sister, aged 2, The baby
grew fretful and the elder girl lost pa-
tience with it and tied the poor child to
the tail of a cow that was grazing in the
pasture. Then she hustled the animal
into a gallop. The tiny victim uttered nnd will die
piercing shrieks, which grew fainter as ’ ” . -
the cow galloped madly on. The girl
went quietly home and related her ad-
venture gleefully. Several hours after-
wards the cow was found miles away
with a shapeless mass of human flesh
dragging at her heels.

ing it to the surface, hot and dry. He was
also the first man to successfully expose a
sensitized photographic plate and obtain a
negative in a considerable depth of water.
In speaking of his early experience as a
diver, and of the manner in which he first
went into the business, Mr. Fuller said: “In
1857 I was employed as a foreman in an ex-
tensive watch repairing establishment in
Faneuil Hall square. Hearing that a diver
was at work repairing the outer end of
‘Long wharf,’ which bad fallen out, I spent
an entire forenoon in order to gratify my
great desire to see such a curiosity.
“This diver was George W. Townsend, and
he was the first I had ever seen. The impres-
sion then received haunted me continually,
and in 1860 I left the shop and ‘started in’
at my adopted business as a submarine oper-
ator. There were not above six or eight
divers then in this country.
“In 18621 had brought out several important
inventions pertaining to the apparatus and
business and had a company of my own, ‘The
Bay State Submarine company,’ of Boston,
of which I was superintendent and manager.
Since then I have had charge of two other
heavy companies, and our work has taken me
to various parts of the world. In ’66 we got
‘too numerous’ in and about Boston, and I
struck New London, Conn., and for years
carried on the business there and at Norwich,
where I resided.”—Boston Globe.

A BIG BUNDLE.
The Pressure Sustained by a Diver Dan-
gers from a Too Rapid Ascent to the
Surface — Various Interesting Objects
Taken from Wrecks.
Some very interesting facts relating to
diving have been told the writer by George
W. Fuller, the veteran sub-marine diver and
inventor of sub-marine appliances. In a
talk with Mr. Fuller relative to the pressure
sustained by a diver when in different depths
of water and other matters of a sub-marine
nature, he has explained many questions
which were perplexing, and corrected some
of the impressions received by the writer
during his recent trip to the bottom of the
bay. Mr. Fuller has shown me that the
pressure is about forty-four pounds to the
square inch. He goes on to say that “even
this pressure is enormous, for the surface of
the body of a diver of ordinary proportions
presents twelve square feet of surface upon
which this tremendous pressure is exerted,
and he is, when in 100 feet of salt water, ex-
posed to a pressure equal to about thirty-
eight tons pressing inwardly toward a com-
mon center.”
THE PRESSURE.
Mr. Fuller goes on to say: The resistance
offered to that pressure, its immediate and
final effects and the means employed to
counteract it, form subjects of much inter-
est, and these can be thoroughly explained
only by careful attention to natural and
physical laws and conditions controlling
such actions. The reason one fails bo feel the
weight of his armor when submerged is sim-
ply this: The suit or “dress,” when properly
inflated with air, contains besides the diver’s
body and wearing apparel, some twenty-two
to twenty-five gallons of air, which, by the
action of the air pump, is constantly being
changed or renewed.
Now as to his weight after being submerg-
ed. If his escape valve is properly adjusted
to 100 feet depth, the indicated weight of di-
ver and armor combined is less when barely
sunk below the surface, and greatest when at
the bottom. At the surface the pressure
equals one atmosphere to 0 in our case.
Now, for every 2j^ inches depth we descend
in the sea water, we add one pound pressure
per square inch of surface exposed. With
this slight amount pressing against our dress,
even the legs of some are fairly well inflated
at the start, hence more displacement and in-
creased buoyancy. As we descend the pres-
sure increases, driving the confined air higher
and higher up the dress, reducing buoyancy,
increasing weight, until, having reached the
bottom, we have no air in the dress below
the breast, and mighty little there either.
Now it is that our weight begins to show
its presence in a painful manner. The legs
of the diver, as well as the lower portion of
. his body, succumb to the pressure, and are
■ sensibly compressed so far as tissue, etc.,
goes, circulation becoming seriously dis-
turbed, or, indeed, totally suspended at times,
and the blood, which should normally circu-
’ late in the lower limbs, is forced above. This
’ causes numbness of the legs, and severe head-
1 aches often occur, and if the weights were
’ suddenly cut adrift, and the diver allowed to
“pop” to the surface, death would follow from
! effort of air confined within the cavity of the
body to escape, or to establish an equilibrium
of pressure. The air, seeking every natural
passage out of the diver’s body, drives before
it blood, contents of bowels, etc. The neces-
sity for a comparatively slow descent and
ascent is readily appreciated, as well as the
precaution on the part of a diver himself to
prevent any sudden or accidental, enforced
or hurried trip to the surface.
With a beginner making his first descent
beneath the waves it will be well to remem-
ber this fact, when a great deal of the pain
will be avoided: Always swallow as often as
the slightest pain in the ears is experienced,
and then the explosion which takes place in
the head will not be sufficiently heavy to seri-
ously attract the attention.
SOME EXTRAORDINARY FEATS.
Mr Fuller also showed me some specimens
which he had brought up from wrecks. One
was a United States $1 bill, and with it was
an old twenty-five cent scrip piece which he
rescued in one of his maiden dives off Beaver
Tail in 1865. He also exhibited some relics
from a Spanish frigate which was sunk off
the coast of South America in 1815, and
which he recovered while there in charge of
an expedition in 1871. In showing some of
the Spanish dollars to the writer, Mr. Fuller
said that, notwithstanding their long bath,
most of these coins were very well preserved,
but some which had come in contact with
the rusting iron of the vessel had worn away
to mere ghosts of their former selves. The
bills which were brought up off Beaver Tail,
although badly soaked by the water, still
held together, and the printing on them re-
mained entirely legible.
As has been printed in another story, Mr.
Fuller was the first diver who ever accom-
plished the feat of catching a fish, dressing

An Electric Road Accident.
Special to Evening Tribune.
Council Bluffs, Io., Jan. 30.—An
east bound motor trrin on the electric
line jumped the track near the river and
rolled down the embankment to the fiat,
10 feet below. Both cars were-well filled
with passengers, and many were, badly
shaken up and bruised, but none fatally
hurt. A commercial traveler from New
York was badly cut about the head.

Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 30.—E. N.
Gardley, a well-to-do grocery keeper, met
with a singular accident that will cost
him his life. He was engaged in taking
some barrels of salt into a cellar under
his store, by rolling them down a steep
flight of stairs, he going down backwards,
' in front of them. One of them got the
start of him, knocked him down and
rolled over him, lacerating his body and
lace terribly. His jawbone was almost
torn from his face and he was hurt in-
ternally. He can not recover.

Hateful Blood Relations,
Hateful kindred are those sprung from
the parent stem—malaria. They are
chills and fever, bilious remittent fever,
dumb ague and ague cake. These foes to
bodily peace are all blood relations, as
there is no doubt that these endemic
complaints are produced by contamina-
tion of the blood by the miasmata exist-
ent in both air and water in malarious
regions. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters ex-
pells from the blood the virus with which
miasma infects, but it does more than this,
it neutralizes the atmospheric and aqueous
poison and its germs before they have
permanently fructified in the system, and
thus effectually protects it against the
fierce inroads of this diabolic brother-
hood of diseases. Thus it is not only a
remedy, but also a preventive, prompt in
relieving, lasting in effect, perfectly ef-
ficient. Nervousness, biliousness, dys-
pepsia and kidney troubles also succumb
to it.
The Defalcation of tlie New York Post- ;

Special to Evening Tribune.
New York, January 30.—The deeper (
Postmaster Van Cott gets into the affairs ,
of his late cashier the larger grows the de-. ‘
falcation. But the nostmaster does not ,
yet say definitely what it will aggre- '
gate though it leaks out that it already '
amounts to $48,000, and the end is not
vet reached. It is a big defalcation and
the wonder is how it could have been car-
ried on so long without detection.

Nothing Succeeds Like Success.
And that’s why agents, drummers,
hustlers and ex sewing machine peddlers
—who toot for inferior pianos—lose never
an opportunity of taking a spiteful fling
at the famous Emerson. The sale of the
Emerson is controlled in Texas by the
reliable house of Thos. Goggan & Bro.,
and the fact that more of these favorite
instruments are sold in Texas than all
other makes causes competitors to be en-
vious of the well merited popularity of
the Emerson pianos.
FOREIGN FLASHES.

Emin Pasha May Return to Africa.
London, Jan. 30.—The prolonged stay
of Emin Pasha in Zanzibar, together
with his manifest unwillingness to re-
turn to Europe, has led to a general be-
lief that he is seeking a favorable oppor-
tunity to return to the interior of Africa.
He still retains all his followers who
journeyed to Bagamejo with him, and
they have given every evidence of their
determination not to forsake him. In ad-
dition to these indications of his desire to
go back to his province he has preserved
a reticence with regard to his experiences
in the equatorial regions of Africa inex-
plicable to his friends in the circum-
stances of Stanley’s unrestrained reflec-
tions upon his steadfastness of purpose
and qualities of leadership, assertions
which he would natutally hasten to dis-
prove if he were contemplating residence
in Europe for the future.
