THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

| Here is an end of all romance about
hidden ocean depths. We can specu.
lato no longer about pcrils in cham
bcrs, pearls OF mermaids, or hcapetl
treasures and dead mems bones
| whitening in coral caves. The
| whole ocean floor is now mapped
out for us. The report of the expedi-
tiOn sent out from London in her mai
esty's ship Challenger has recently
been published. Nearly four years
were given to the examination of the
currents and floors of tho four great
oceans of the world. Tho Atlantic, we
are told, if drained, would be a vast
plain, with mountain right in tho
middle running parallel with our coast.
Another range crosses it from New
foundland to Ireland, ON top of which
lies submarine cable. The ocean is
thus divided into three great basins, no
longer Hunfathomable dopths." The
tops of these sea mountains are two
miles below a sailing ship, and the
basins, according to Reejus, are fifteen
miles, which is deep enough for drown
ing if not for mystery. The mountains
are Whitened for thousand of miles by
a tiny, creamy shell. The depths are
red in color, heaped with volcanic
masses. Through the black, motion
less water of these abysses move gigan-
tic abnormal creatures, which never
rise to upper currents. There is an
old legend coming down to us from the
first ages Of the world on which these
scientific deep-sea soundings throw
a curious light. Plato and Solon
record the tradition, ancient in their
days, of a country in the western seas
were hourished the first civilization
of mankind, which, by volcanic action,
was submerged and lost. The same
story is told by the Central Americans,
who still celebrate, in the fast of the
Izcall, the frightful cataclys1n which
destroyed this land with it's stately
cities. De Bourbourg and othe,
archieologists assert that the lost land
extended from Mexico beyond the
West Indies. The shape of the
plateau discovered by the Challenger
corresponds with this theory. What
If some keen Yankee should yet
dredge out from its unfathomed slime

The term Nihilist given To tho Rus.

The term Nihilist given to tho Rus
sian radicals, was suggested by tho
Latin word nihH, nothing, and was
first used by tho novelist Tourganicf
in his novel "Peres ct Enfants''
(Fathcss and Sons) Published in 1862.
Tourganfcfr travelled In Russia in 1860
before the radical party existed, and
met IL young doctor named Andretef,
who believed in nothing, dcspiscd his
fellow creatures, saw nothing in the
world but hypocrisy or Illusion, and
wrapped himself in a complete indiHe-
renee to individuals or events 1t was
he who suggested nihilism to Tourga-
nicT, who found him to be the type
OF class. Andrctcfr is now dead.

to the east side in no gentle manner and
got it aboard the train. All went well
with the box and contents till the |
was taken to the baggage-room. The Chi
nanan wished it checked to Auburn. Tt |
was put upon the scales and found to be |
over weight, it weighing 1876 pounds |
The baggage-master asked the Chfnaman |
to pay seventy-five cents extra. He was
willing to pay fifty cents. While they
were haggling about the matter sounds of
scratching and knocking were heard
within the box. The baggage-master
suspected trick of some kind and sent
for policeman.
| when the Chinaman saw the police
man coming he took to his heels. The
box was opened, and within it was found
a Chinawoman; doubled up like sack of
meal, and almost dead. She was black
in the face, and almost sufFocated. It is
supposed that she may have been carried
head down considerable distance. There
were several holes in the side of the box
to allow of air entering, but without be-
traying his secret the Chinaman could
not prevent the box being roughly hand
led, or direct how it should be carried.
The woman's face was considerably
scratched and bruised, and, if conscious,
she must have suffered terribly between
this city and Rene. By some it is sup
posed that she was drugged to stupefac-
ton with opium, OF. chloroformed, before
being placed in the box. The drayman
received the box at the Sam Sing wash
house, on the Divide. Sam Sing denies
that the box belonged TO him. He says
! that he had nothing to do with either the
> box or its contents. He says the baggage
( was the property of the Ming Yung Com
t pany.
r 1t is evidently a case of Kidnapping
/ Such Chinese women as are here are
: looked upon and treated by the male
f Mongolians as ehattels, and they steal
them from each other just as, in some
t States, white men steal horses. The av-
e erage price Of woman being about $500;
b Chinaman or gang of Chfnamen will
risk much to steal one. The stealers Of
= women are banded together as are horse.
r thieves, and once they get woman fair
r " started they run her of to some out
8 of-the-way place where she is not likely
e to be found. Chief of Police McCOurt il
It at work trying to ferret out the pres
Y ent case. The Chinese at the wash-hous'

ing about it to an unlimited extent
n There are Cinnamon here who say tina
