Hanging Rock.

Among the Capon mountains OF
Hampshire county, West Virginia, is
q gorge called Hanging Rock, which
possesses more than ordinary histor-
ical interest. A narrow road runs
along the side of brawling stream,
and above it on either hand the wood
ed cliffs rise to a height of several
hundred feet. A band of Catawba In
dians who were encamped in the gap
in 1881, were set upon by party OF
hostile Delawares and totally exter-
minated. A few years later some
prowling Frenchmen and Indians
fred from an ambush on Ensign
Daniel Morgan, "the hero Of Still.
water and the Cowpens." who was
passing through the gap bearing dis
patches to Winchester. Two soldier;
who were with him fell from theii
horses dead, while Morgan, with the
blood streaming from a terrible bul
let wound, clasped his mare about the
neck with both arms, and was borne
safely back to a neighboring fort
where he was lifted from the saddle
insensible. In 1864 the gorge was
the scene of fierce cavalry fight be
tween some rowing troopers from tho
Federal and rebel armies. Recently
surveyors have located the route o
the Baltimore, Cincinnati d Westerr
railroad through the pass.

Ocean Temperatures.

In the Mediterranean the surface
temperature is OH the average 60 de-
grees and the great mass Of water
down to the depth of $500 tathoms
is invariably 80 degrees, while the
waters of the Atlantic ocean, below a
certain depth have universal temper
ature of 80 degrees. The reason Of
this variation Of 20 degrees in the
temperature of a continuous sheet Of
water is found in the fact that the
Mediterranean is walled off by q
ridge across the straits of Gibraltar
by which the cold current which ad
vances at the bottom of the Atlantic
from the north pole is cut of. The
arctic and antartic undcrhows, meet
and rise almost to the surface at the
equator in o very cold current, Sc
that, while the surface water may
have a temperature of rs degrees, il
falls to 80 degrees only about BOZ
feet below. Receding from the equa
tor this submarine temperature grad
ually rises as the cold currents fal
again toward the bottom of the sea.

"This world is all n floating shoe.
Everybody smiled, and covered will
confusion he began again:
"This world is all shouting flow.
This only made matters worse, ano
when the unhappy man cleared hi
throat with tremendous force and be
gan once again:
"This world is all a floating she."
Then he slammed the hymn-bool
down, and wiping his brow said:
"For some reason l cannot reat
