SALT IL SIcKxEss.-Dr. Seudder remarks Il
am satisfied that have seen patients die from
deprivation of common salt during proiracted
illness. It is q common impression that tie food
for the sick should not be seasoned, and what
ever slop may be given it is almost innocent Of
this essential Of life In the milk diet that rec

the milk being boiled and given bot, And il the
patient cannot take the usual quantity in his
food. have given it IL his drink. This matter
is SO important that it cannot be repeated too Of
ten or dweIt upon TOO long. The most marked
example or this want OF common salt Thavs ever
noticed has been in surgical disease especially in
open wounds. Without a supply Of salt the
tongue would become broad, paIIid. puffy, with
tenacious, pasty coat, the seereticns arrested, the
circulation feeble the eusion at the point Of in

all this, and the patient get along we'll

rus OCEAN BED.

The ocean bed between the BONN Islands.and
the entrance Of YeddO Bay is irregular. as might
have been supposed, from the almost continuous
chain Of Islands lying nearly parallel to the route
sounded. The deepest water found was > 4S5
and the next deepest 1896 faihOms.
Should cable ever be laid by this southern
route good place to land It in Lloyd would be
in or near the ten-sathom hole.
REINFORCEMENT OF WIRE.
Admiral Rodgers, Commandant Of the Navy
Yard, Mare Island, fortunately decided to send
the fresh supply Of wire TO Yokohama instead Of
to Honolulu. The wire is now here, and. beyond
the repair Of the sounding reels and, perhaps the
making Of one or two new ones, aud some work
the boilers 10 stop their leaking, nothing more
will be required to enable the ship to begin the
line Of sOundngs via the Aleutian Islands so soon
as the season is far enough advanced to make the
work practicable.

Az EScHANrED PARK.-The Denver Mirror
says of Enchanted Park in Colombo; 4" It isa
beautiful valley about mile in length walled in
on either side by perpendicular walls from 200 to
300 feet in height. There is but one entrance to
this enchanted spot and that is a very rugged
and dangerous pathway, and the fOOtman expert
ences great difficulty IN the descent. Upon reach
ing the valley we could hear the rustng Of the
wind through the lofty pines on the cliffs above
Us, sounding like the roar Of some devastating
hurricane, while the grass beneath our feet lay as
calm and still as death. Not even the slightest
breath Of air could be felt. Everything was so still
that person standing at the lowest part Of the
valley could distinctly comprehend persons speak
ing at the lower end"

MARCUS ISLAND.

Six Of these submarine mountains were discov-
cred, ranging from 1000 to 1900 feet in height
and Marcus Island, which rises scarcely more
than from thirty 10 sixty feet above the surface,
lies directly 10 this range. A cast some eight
miles from that island gave a depth Of ,4e9
fathoms, coral and lava bottom, and the high,
wide, white beach. occasionally broken, with
large, black, volcanicoOking rocks, presented the
same dazzling white appearance characteristic Of
the beaches on the shores Of the BONN group !;
and those beaches are all composed Of broken
coral Hence it may not be unreasonable 10 sup
pose that Marcos Island forms the apex Of a vol
caDic cone or island, perhaps, in ages past, much
higher than now. A thick growth Of trees crowns
the island, and myriads Of binds we're flying over
and around it.

ACCIDENTS

Two accidents occurred in running This last
line which resulted in the loss of a considerable
amount Of the wire In one instance, sounding

across the rim Of the drum, the edge of which,
acting like knife edge, cut the wire short of,
and nearly 5000 fathoms were lost. This was
the first mishap in $50 consecutive casts with the
same reel Of wire, aud the more to be regretted
on that account Again, sounding in 1856

could not be detached, and after repeated at

haul it back. for there seemed to be 10 other
way out Of the difficulty but IN getting ready to
reel in the strain was so great that the pawl Of
the machine was torn away, and though two men
had hold Of the drum, over thirty fathoms of the
wire ran out so rapidly that 1t kinked and broke,
and 1900 fathoms more were lost. These acci-
dents were exceptional and by no means osght
TO work disparagement to the wire, the tenacity
Of which is marvellous and its adaptability for the
purpose in question unequalled.

a scene in the French Assembly.

In bis address TO the populations who waited
upon him at Auxerre, NJ. Gambetta said To-
day the Republican Democracy finds itself ia
presence ofthe pseudo-D Democracy Casarian
Democracy. The struggle is expecied-the duel
is inevitable. Republican France will not allow
herself to be surprised
The following evening the representatives Of
the two Democracies came as near striking the
6rst blow in the " expected struggle as to shake
their fists in each others faces. The storm was
raised by NJ. Brisson. Republican, who. in nov
Ing the rejection of the electoral bill which would
strike Of several millions from the electoral roll,
said that tampering with universal suffrage would
be putting a weapon in the hands Of the fatal
party which led France from the u Of December
to Sedan" This compliment uised a terrific
storm in the Bonapariist camp. NJ. Levert, one
Of the high-handed projects Of the Empire
shouted, Never mind the day is close at hand
when We shall put gag in your mouth Here
upon a fearful row arose. At this MANAGE there
ensued one Of the most violent scenes ever wit
messed, even in the French Assembly. A num-
Der Of the ultra-radical members sprang to their
feet and rushed across the arena as II to charge
their Bonaparlis,s foes.
Meanwhile as mauy Imperialists, several Of
them pale with rage; advanced TO meet the rad
icas. In this crisis serious ARRAY was prevent
ed by several deputies from the Right throwing
themselves between the excited members, and SO
preventing their actually coming into contact.
NJ. Brisson's motion to shelve the bill was re-
jeeted by large maiority-Lirapool Mercury.

QUEER QUESTION.

Had there been time and the objects Of the
expedition had permitted it, it would have been
interesting to have sounded about the localities
Of these submarine elevations revealed BY the
lead, to have determined their extent and con-
formation whelher standing as solitary sunken
volcanic islands or cones. or forming parts Of
ridges running 10 a Dorth-Eesierly and south
easterly direction, as combinations Of the groups
of islands TO The southwark
Professor Dana, in bis work on cOrals and coral
islands, says: "A range Of deep-sea cones or
suuken volcanic islands would be as interesting a
discovery as deep-sea sponge or coral, even if
it should refuse, excepting perhaps mere frag-
ment TO cOmeto the surface 10 the dredge." May
not the TuscarOra. in behalf Of the naval service,
lay claim to such discovery or at least. to have
gotten glimpse Of it?

ings. from San Diego. Cal, to Yokohama, is now
complete. Seveniy.three casts were made, the
deepest being in 3.2S7 fathoms, at which depth
the working of the patent reel of Sir William
Thompson and the piano wire was as admirable
and satisfactory as ever. AT that grea. depth a
person standing on the topgallant foreoasile and
watching the running out Of the wire from the
reel in the gangway could tell the moment bottom
was reached.
The attempt which Commander Belknap in
formed the department would be made to lessen
the labor Of hauling in resulted very sa,isfacior-

quicker BY fopr men than six meu could do it

rus DEEPEST wlTER OF rms PACIFIC.

The commander believes 1t has hitherto been
the opinion Of scientists that the eastern part Of
the Pacific Is the deepest but this line of sound
ipgs, run through the heart Of the North Pacific,
proves to the contrary, the deepest water having
been found much nearer the shores of Asia than
to the coast OF the United States. A line run
from the South American coast, toward Austria
LA, might, however, give different result.
A glance at the profile charts shows that after
the ocean bed proper is reached, near San Diego.
the bed descends in comparatively gentle curves
and undulatioas 10 the vicinity Of the Hawaiian
Islands, where depth Of 5 O54 fathoms is found !;
thence, westward the bed slowly drops and the
lead reaches down to S.2S7 fa,homs-Or about
three aud three quarter statute miles-iu the

subjected at some remote period to volcanic dis
