tory. Through the agency Of steam the ocean
has been made the highway Of nations, the
land is girt with a network of railroads and
civilization is carried TO the ends of the earth
Electricity, though discovered by Thales six
hundred years before Christ, has only recently
been compelled to give forth it's power and
ssubtlety for the benefit of man; but as science
is as yet ignorant of the nature Of this agent
10 has been unable to apply il to machinery.
With geology, zoology and many other
sciences deep sea explorations have an inti-
mate connection, as well as upon navigation
and submarine telegraphy. The lead and
line was the earliest device for deep sea
sounding, and il is still in use. The crude
ness of the contrivance has however, led to
the popular error of ''bottomless ocean" and
TO many mistakes-sometimes fatal ones-in
making soundings.
The success which has attended the laying
of submarine cables has set the erroneous
idea of an ocean without bottom at rest
forever, and given an impulse to the effort to
invent new means Of sounding and dredging.
The soundings made in the Atlantic show its
bottom to be an extensive plateau, varying in
depth at different points The average depth
is IL, 600 feet, though the steamer Cyclops
obtained depth of $4,000 feet. This ocean
floor begins about $50 miles from the Irish
coast; there the descent from shallow to deep
wafer IL very rapid, reaching lOsDOO leeG IN
fifty miles, giving an angle of descent greater
than that of the Italian Alps. The deepest
part of the Atlantic is on the American
side, near the banks of Newfoundland
where a great basin exists ranging
east and west for nearly thousand miles,
and whose depth is believed to exceed the
highest of the HimalOya Mountains. 1t has
also been recently proved that ship can be
held in one place, and soundings made, even
when the weather is comparatively rough.
America has been the pioneer in inventing
deep sea-sounding apparatus, and her inven-
tions are as much used in the British navy as
our own. Here the lecturer described the
latest instruments that have been invented
for deep sea-sounding, and after tracing the
rise of dredging with Sir John Ross efforts
in Baftin's Bay in 1918, he fallowed Hoskyn,
Bergman, and Dayman in their submarine
explorations, gave many interesting facts,
such as that of the bottom of the ocean teem-
ing with animal life, some of them of a very
high type, and concluded by showing what a
vast food of light is thrown upon practical
science by deep sea-sounding and dredging
apparatus. y ~

SENTENCED-E. G. Randall Postmaster at
Portland, Oregon, who was recently convicted
of purloinng 5000 in gold dust from the mails,
before the U. S. District Court, has been SEN
fenced by Judge Deadly to twelve years i'm
prisonment at hard labor. Randall protested
his innocence to the last, but the proof against
him was overwhelming, and showed that he
expected Senators Williams and Corbett of
Oregon-his political backers-to get him out
of the trouble, even if convicted. He has a
wife and one child and hitherto bore very
good character His clerk D. F. Fox, who
participated in the robbery, was used as wit
ness against him, and after the trial Judge
Deadly ordered his release Subsequently Fox
was arrested by the State authorities, to an
swer the charge of stealing the gold dust A
petition to the President, for the pardon Of
Randall, was in circulation at last accounts.

RADICAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

The late exciting Senatorial contest in New
York, in which Ex-Gov. Fenton was successful
over the present Senator, Norton has had the
effect to open up an abundant fund of 'irulence
and d.nunciation and of elimination and re-
elimination, between the supporters OF the
nrominent candidates. Greeley, Marshall o.
Roberts. and other conspicuous Radicals also
un.nviaby figure in the revelations which are
being made As a specimen OF the style III
which these unamiable exchangrsare conduct

Weeds organ, the New York Commercial Id
rertisey, which favored Senator Morgan's re-
election: 1t says:
