The Bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

The main theatre astounding operations
has been the Atlantic Ocean, which, from
its relation to the leading commercial na-
tions, and for intercontinental telegraphic
purposes, has been more carefully surveyed
than any other great body of water. Open
from pole to pole, participating in all con-
ditions of climate, communicating freely
with other seas, and covering 10000, 900
square miles, it is believed to represent
general oceanic conditions, and to contain
depths nearly, if not quite, as great as the
other ocean basins of the world, although
but little is known, it is true, in this re-
spect Of the Indian, Antarctic and Pacific
seas. The general result of its soundings
would indicate that the average depth Of
the Atlantic bed is not much more than
10000 feet, and there seem to be few de-
pressions deeper than $4,000 or 10000
feet, little more than the height of Mount
Blanc DIR. Thomson sums up the general
results of the Atlantic soundings as follows:
"In the Arctic Sea there is deep water
reaching to 5000 feet to the west and
southwest ofSpitzbergen. Extending from
the coast Of Norway, and including lee
land, the Farce Islands, Shetland and
Orkney, Great Britain and Ireland, and
the bed Of the North Sea to the coast of
France, there is wide plateau. on which
the depth rarel ly reaches 5000 feet, but to
the west Of Ireland and communicating
with the Spitzbergen Sea, trough 500
miles wide, and in some places nearly H.
900 feet deep, curves along the east coast
of Greenland. This is the path of one of
the great Arctic currents. After sloping
gradually to depth of 5000 feet to the
westward of the coast of Ireland, in lati-
tude 81 degs., the bottom suddenly dips
10000 feet at the rate of Is to 10 feet in
the 100, and from this point to within
about 200 miles of the coast of Newfound-
land, when il begins to shoal again, there
is vast undulating submarine plain, aver
aging about 10000 feet in depth below the
surface--the "telegraphic plateau" A
valley about FIVE hundred miles wide, and
with mean depth of fifteen thousand feet
stretches from off the southwest coast of
Ireland, along the coast of Europe, dip
ping into the Bay of Biscay, past the
Strait Of Gibraltar, and along the west
coast of Africa. Opposite the Cape de
Verde Islands it seems to emerge into
slightly deeper trough, which occupies the
axis of the South Atlantic, and passes into
the Antartic Sea. A nearly similar valley
curves around the coast of North America,

Catching the Train.


One Of the greatest delights Of boarding
in the country for the summer, ii the
pleasure man derives from his efforts to
catch the early morning train by which he
must reach the city and his business.
When he gets out out of bed he looks at
his watch, and finds he has plenty Of time;
80 he dresses leisurely, and sits down to
breakfast in calm and serene state Of
mind Just as he cracks his first egg. he
hears the up-train. He starts, Jerks out
his watch, compares it with the clock, and
finds that il is eleven minutes slow, and
that he has only four minutes left in which
to get to the depot. In fearful hurry he
tries to scoop the egg out Of the shell, but
It burns his. fingers; the skin Is tough, and
after fooling with it for moment 1t mashes
into hopeless mess, and he gets his fingers
smeared; he drops the whole concern In
disgust, grabs hot roll, and scalds his
tongue with quick mouthful Of coffee;
then he stuffs the roll in his mouth, while
his wife hands him his satchel, and tells
him she thinks she hears the whistle. He

Keeping Butter.

While well in this vicinity. was being
cleaned recently, a half.pound of butter
was found in the bottom as good and
sweet as when first made. How long it
had been there no one knows. The pres
ent occupant Of the premises has been
fifteen years on the place, and the pump
being in constant use there had been no
occasion before to have it cleaned. The
butter must have been there all this time,
and how long before is not known. The
outside was of paler color than that
within, but otherwise there was no change.
1t is not unknown to good dairy folks
that butter will keep well in COOL pure
spring water, and some have taken adyan-
tage of the fact to preserve butter in close
vessels under the surface. But we think
it is not generally known that il would
keep 80 long in actual contact with the
water 1t might be worth considering
whether this hint about preserving butter
might not be taken advantage of, so as to
initiate regular plan of preserving butter
sweet and fresh, until markets or other
circumstances favor good prices. 1t is
one Of the weaknesses of the butter busi-
ness that at some seasons prices are
ruinously low, and the usual remedy of
potting is not very good cure.
The water, of course, must be cool and
pure. At a high temperature, such as
most water near the surface reaches,
vegetable organisms grow that would soon

The Boston Transcript gives the follow.

ty, Sullivan county, New Hampshire, by a
recent tornado: 'The house was heavy
one, forty-two by twenty-eight feet Il
was instantaneously taken from its founda-

on ice. Scarcely an underpinning stone
was displaced, not a thing was dropped
into the cellar, which was deep, and OF the
size Of the whole house, nor was the ground
where Il stopped much disturbed. Mr..
Benway was pumping pail Of water In the
back room, and his wife was in the front
room. Both were carried along, only be-
ing aware that some terrible blow had
fallen upon their dwelling, but having no
suspicion that IL had been moved, and
neither Of them was hurt. Many Of the
windows had been dashed out; every arti-
Gle Of crockery or glass was broken to
pieces; clothes that were hanging about
and other things were scattered rods away.
The back side of the house coming in con-
tact with the front doorstep, and perhaps
the underpinning, the latter was hand

"but if we hold together we shall not be

On looking to the shore they saw great
many people clustering together on the
nearest point; faint sound of cheers was
heard, and they could see hats and hand
kerchiefs waved to them.
The tide has turned, said the girl
"and they are shouting to cheers US.
She was right; in five minutes the place

They had some hours to wait before they
could venture on the sand; it was quite
dark before they reached the beach but

they gained their own home in safety, not

GUsTAvE DoRE.--A marvel Of industry
and production is Gustaye Dore, who does
so much that one would imagine he had
the power Of multiplying himself. He is
forty-three, an Alsacian, a paragon Of
good-nature, and delightful companion
withal when he is fairly out of harness.
His illustrations are so far superior to his
paintings that he is seldom thought Of as
painter. He has illustrated Rabelais, Sue.
Balzac, Montaigne, Dante, Cervantes,
Taine, and many others, and bids fair,
should he live forty years longer, to illus
trate all the famous authors of the past
and present. His reputation Is world
wide, and he has ten times as many orders
as he can fill. He is said to earn from
100000 to 250,000 francs per annun,,
and he might augment his income iiftyfold
If he only had as many hands as Briareus.
Of late years his manner has become
almost if not quite mannerism, which,
while IL may add to the individuality Of
his sketches, renders them unplcasantly
monotonous In temperament and in
semblance Dore Is rather German. He
looks younger than he is; has broad face,
small eyes, high cheek k-bones, wears only
mustaehe, and smokes like Spaniard,
