WORDS or

The New York Herald has been siding
in with the Democracy. but begins to
think they are carrying their doctrines
too far. especially in the south-that
they are making things too solid in that
direction and adopting a policy detri.
mental to the interests OF the party In
the North. In q leading editorial the
Herald condemns the folly Of the South
ern Democrats maintaining the Solid
South. and says: We tell the Southern
men plainly that the probabilities are
Just now largely in favor Of Republican
success, and the "Solid South" doctrine
is helping toward this more than any
other element Of the South. II the
South were broken mp into its natural
political divisions now. and II II were
seen that Louisiana, Arkansas, Tonnes
see and Virginia would probably go Re
publican, the chances Of Hancock's cleo
ton would bs greatly increased; for re.
move the justly irritating effect on the
Northern mind Of the Southern solidity.
and the Democrats could hope to carry
such States as Illinois, Indiana. wiscon.
sin and New Hampshire. which. under
present conditions. they are sure to lose.
The Herald advises Southern men 70 en-
courage Independence everywhere in
their States. and to send Bsyard. Hsmp'
ton, Butler and Lamar into the doubtful
Northern States.

LOST IN THE DEPTHS.
why Persoss Drowned IN Lake
Tahoe sink snd . Never Mise
Again.

It is a we'll known fact that the bodies
Of persons drowned in the depths OF
Lake Tahoe sink and are never seen
a~iterward. A correspondent Of the San
Francisco Bulletin soms time ago gave
the following theory:
Some twelve or fourteen persons have
been drowned In this lake within the
past ten years; none Of the bodies have
ever been recovered. Superstition. ever
ready to weave a sensation from natures
laws, asserted that there was Q doubtful
mystery In the non-reoovery Of the
drowned; that, in fact, a monster had its
abode ip the fresh water sss, and that
the bodies ell passed into his capacious
NAV. The true explanation Of the mys.
terry has never been given. The nom
appearance Of the bodies 10 due to three
causes: The 6rst 10, the great purity OF
the water and its consequent lack OF
buoyancy. Drowning 10 very easy In 1t,
for this reason. though ! have not while
swimming in 1t. found any moro than
ordinary difficulty in sustaining myself.
The second and main cause il due to
the great coldness Of the water. Even
ut this-the warmsst sesson-the sur
face water Is as warm % the drinker de-
sires it to be. but II is warm there com.
pared with its temperature at the depth
Of one hundred and two hundred feet.
It il as cold there as the arctic heart Of
an iceberg. When q body sinks 10 the
lake to the depth required 1t Ia frozen
stiff. That process OF course preserves
It, 80 that the gas which originates In
the body from decay ID other water 10
prevented and distsntion checked. The
body is thus kept In q state OF greater
specific gravity than the water in which
Il is suspended, and thereby prevented
from rising to the surface. The third
cause lies In the great pressure OF the
pure water on anything which 10 sunk to
q great depth In It. Corks placed ON
deep sea nets are pressed down in q
week to half their size; and one Of the
oldest residents OF the lake expresses the
belief that. by the time q mans body
has been suspended for q week. at q
depth Of about 200 feet (it 10 not likely
that il ever reaches the cavernous and
almost fathomless bottom Of the great
lake,. the compression Of the water has
reduced its size to that Of q child's.
Doubtless the idea OF uncofined suspen-
sion in such o 'world OF water" is not q
pleasant one to contemplate; but to be
pressed into q solid mass and suspended
in q liquid coffin OF ice temperature. is
as pleasant a. interment and shoulder
ipg in the ground.
