SAN DIEGO. Dec. 15.-The World this

robbers of the border: From private in

Of some desperate characters who had
broken Jail from the lower and some
from the upper country who were hiding
near the line to escape pursuit of the
officers. The band organized at Tecate
and chose LEADER. In the Campo raid
there were ten men but only six engaged
in the attack. 1t was not Cbavez's band,
though some of the men had been with
Chavez and one had been with Vasquez.
Our informant probably possesses better
means of information than any man
along the frontier, and thinks the band
is stronger than any that has ever taken
the field on this line and will number
about sixty, and that 1t is their intention
to organize regular system of brigand-
age along the border.

THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

From Chambers Journal.
Among scientific puzzles is one which
has long perplexed biologists, namely, the
existence of large areas of rock containing
no sign of life, side by side with formations
of the same period which are full of fossils
relics of primeval life. Why should one
be SO barren, and the other SO prolific
! There is now an answer to this important
question, and readers who take interest in
the exploring voyage of the Challenger
will be glad to learn that the answer comes
from that ship, in paper written by DR..
Wyville Thompson, chief of the scientific
staff on board. This paper was read last
month at a meeting of the Royal Society.
1t contains the results of deep sea sound
ings which have revealed the existence OF
vast areas of barren clay at the bottom of
the sea- in depths varying from two thous-
and two hundred to four thousand fathoms
and more. In other parts, the bottom is
composed of the So called slo6igerina, which
live near the surface, and sink to the bot
tom when dead. There they accumulate,
building up chalk for ages to come, when
land and sea shall once more change places.
But it is remarkable that, at the depth of
two thousand two hundred fathoms, the
glboigernta thin Off and disappear, and the
gray deposit merges into the barren clay
above mentioned. The explanation is that,
below two thousand fathoms, the tiny
shells of the globigernia are dissolved by
some action of the water, and that the
minute quantity which they contain of
alumina and iron goes to form the areas of
barren clay. The extent of these areas is
SO great that it exceeds all others as yet
known at the bottom of the sea, and it is
the m este devoid of life. In this respect,
the red clay now forming resembles the
schist which at present occupies so larg a
part of our earth's surface.
We are all more or les familiar with chalk
and with rocks that show no sign of fossils
and be thus, SO to speak, made eye witnesses
of the process by which chalk and rock
where formed is unusually interesting. An
eminent naturalist declares that this paper
alone is worth all the cost of the Challenger
expedition Chambers Journal.

CoNTINENTAL CURRENCY.-From an
advance copy of pamphlet on the "Revo
lutionary Finance" by Mr.. J. W. Schuck-
ers, it appears that the g Bills of Credit >
authorized by the Continental Congress,
from June 171155, TO November Goth, 1873,
amounted to sai1, 552, $50. the coin value
of which WAS only $50, 3G7, TO. The dc
probation did not begin until May 1777,
and, then three continental Dollars "
equaled one coin dollar. In November
1910 it required IS! dollars of g Continen-
tai Money" to buy one in silver.
In 1880 the depreciation was more rapid.
In February the relative value was 40 to l.,
and in December, 70 dollars in "plaster
money were worth one Spanish silver
dollar.
