Painted Statuary.

a writer on the antiquities of Athens
says: "There is one circumstance of
comparatively recent discovery, and
still more recently ascertained to its
fullest extent, which gives a strange
contradiction to our cherished notions
concerning the purity of Grecian taste,
and its antipathy to all coarseness and
exaggeration. 1t should (sic) seem
that the Greeks painted their temples,
not merely in chiaroscuro, or in sub
dued tints, for the purpose of giving
relief to projectsons or expressiveness
to ornamental details, but with glaring
colors, reds and blues and yellows, with
violent contrasts, the columns one hue
and the entablatures another. Nay,
there is a shrewd suspicion that the
sculptures were painted like the figure
head of a man of war, and the pillars
were striped!-the Autings being left of
the unstained marble, while the rest
was daubed with villainous ochre; and
unluckily, the evidence of these incred-
Utilities is most exasperatingly clear.
We cannot believe that the architects
of the best days of Greece would so
carefully select the purest materials in
the prospect of their concealment by a
mask of tawdry color-that they would
give such an anxious finish to their
carvings, knowing that their sharpness
and delicacy would be impaired by the
brush of the ornamental painter.
Neither is it probable that, if this vile
practice had existed in the olden time
no hint of il should occur in Pausania;
or Vitruvius. But that Ictinus and
Callimachus, to say nothing of Phidias
and Praxiteles, practiced these attroci
ties, while Pericles approved and pa
tronized, can only be believed quia un
possible est.
The Osceola times., 1875-11-20
Animal Life in the Ocean Depths.

II was for many years thought that,
beyond the depth of 400 fathoms, an
imal life ceased to exist In the ocean.
Forbes reached this zero of life in the
Fgan sea. and the fact ascertained for
the Mediterranean was inferred for all
other seas. The transmutation Of in
organic matter into organic matter is
only performed by vegetables, and
then only under the controlling power
of light. The distinction made by
naturalists between the lowest forms of
animal and vegetable life lies just here :;
vegetables convert the inorganic ele-
ments of earth, air. and water, into
organized matter, animals rearrange
this organized matter into animal
tissue. 1t was well known, as no light
penetrates the profounder oceanic
depths, that no vegetation can exist
there; an absence of animal life was
therefore inferred. Certain exceptions
to this definition of vegetable life, rs
being exhaustive, are found in the
fungi, which germinate and grow in
darkness, and it is believed are nour-
ished in great measure by organic
matter, as well as in the curious car
nivorous plants, which have of late
attracted so much attention. This,
however, does not invalidate the truth
that all nutriment, in order TO be fit for
the maintenance of animal life must
pass, at least once, through the trans
mutation effected cnly by vegetation.
The non-existence of life below 800
fathoms, in all the oceans of our globe,
was strongly supported by Forbes in
vestigation in the Mediterranean. The
abyssal depths of the sea were thus
determined by logic to be the universal
empire over which reigned darkness,
desolation, and death. No investi-
cations were made as to the facts of
the case. Logic and a hasty general
ization from inadequate knowledge
were made, once again in the history
of science, to do duty for the more
laborious method of patient observ-
alton. Commerce at last gave the
impulse to deep-sea exploration which
had before been lacking. The com
mercial world demanded a more speedy
mode of communication from con-
tinent to continent, and the response
came in the form of a submarine tele-
graph. Thousands of sounding were
made to determine the best position in
the oceans bed for its successful laying,
and thousands, again, TO secure the
broken end after the first failure.
These soundings and grapplings
brought from the sca-depths unmis.
taxable proof that life in many varied
and exquisite forms existed there, far
away from life and vegetation, under
an enormous pressure of superincum-
waters; and logic retired discom-
fitted.

JUVENILE PENETRATION They were
seated in the parlor conversing in the
softest accents, and little Louie was
seated statue-like in chair near by,
listening, and looking as well as the
chastened light allowed her. Still they
spoke only on the ordinary topics OF
conversation, the Exposition, and the
weather particularly, avoiding that
which was nearest to their hearts, and
which they ardently desired to talk
about. 1t was growing late, and before
he would take leave Of his inamorata
he would, if possible, breathe few ac
cents of love in her willing ear. But
little Louie was as immovable AS when
she took her seat an hour and hall
previously. He would use some de
vice to cause her to absent herself. Ht
requested Louie in the gentlest tone,
to bring him certain piece of music
from the adjoining parlor, knowing
that she would have To search for som,

AMOUNTING THE BoDY.-Dr. +. c.
Angel, who is interested in Turkish
and Russian baths, has contributed a
very interesting paper to the Medical
Record, on the practice of amounting
the body with restorative or medicinal
oil or unguents. After mentioning the
high antiquity of this practice of
Injunction, he says: But it was the
Roman baths of Caracalla, of Con-
stantine, of Diocletian, and Titus, and
other cmperors, that the art of anoint-
ing was carried to its greatest perfect
ion as means alike Of pleasure and
of health. 1t became Of such impor-
tance that in all the great 1heymU n
special room, known as the mctmri,n
or eleothcsii0l, was provided merely for
the keeping of the oils aud perfumes.
In an ancient painting, showing the
apartments of II Roman bath, the
w1ctuari,m appears like an apothecary's
shop, filled with an immense number
of vases. So essential did the Roman
bathers consider the process of anoint.
ing that they INDUCED in it twice in
each bath-at the beginning, when Il
comparatively cheap oil was employed,
probably without perfume, and again
at the close, when costly balsams and
fine perfumes were used without stint,
being rubbed over. the entire body,
even to the soles of the feet. TIE
variety of these ointments was very
great-cloves, cinnamon, lilies, laven-
der, myrrh, roses, and many other
fragrant substances being used in their
manufacture. 1t was even customary
to apply different unguents to different
parts Of the body during the same
bath; oil of wild thyme being rubbed
on the head, neck and eyebrows, and
oil of watermint on the arms. The
rich had precious ointments of their
own, which were carried to the baths
in small vials of alabaster, crystal, or
cold.

ltisimpossible for Moody and Sankey
TO accept the pressing invitations that reach
them from almost every city in the United
States. The pressure upon them is tremcn-

The impression prevails in some
parts OF the country that the printing Of
fractional currency has been discontinued,
especially as TO the denominations of ten

printing of all other issues, according to n
Washington telegram, is proceeding as usual.
