OCEAN DEPTHS.

The average depth of the ocean is $1,000
feet, or $500 fathoms, nearly three miles,
says recent scientific item. This is a good
deal more than the average elevation of the
land above the sea level, though the extreme
ocean depth seems to be just about equal to
the extreme hight Of land elevation. A
short distance south of the Newfoundland
banks a depth of 1850 fathoms has been
sounded. This is little over 20 900 feet, and
but few hundred feet less than the highest
peak of the Himalayas. There is very
marked difference, however, in the certainty
of the process. of measurement in the two
cases. In the measurement of a mountain
hight nearly as great exactitude is attainable
as in measuring the hight OF a
tree or house. In the
ascertainmeht of great ocean depths
it is very doubtful if any exact measure
ment has ever been made. There are many
currents in the ocean, and some OF them run
in stories, as it were, one shove another ia
contrary or cross directions. A line carry
ing fifty or UNDERGROUND weight would
be bent out of a direct course by these cur
rents half dozen times possibly IN as many
thousand feet, swayed back and forth, 10 the
right and left, in long loops that might easily
make double the length Of line going straight
to the bottom. But the persons managing it
on shipboard could know nothing of these
misleading vagaries. Two thousand
fathoms of line would mean, so far
as they could tell, 1000 fathoms of water,
when halt of it was made OF curves, and
loops swept "hither and yon" by currents.
Be that as it may. there is = sort Of Fitness

gascar a French paper says: at is sad for
true patriots to have to confess that under
pretext of preserving doubtful treaty, our
Frenchy Colonial policy should be influenced
by the Jesuits, whose expulsion took place
about three years ago. 1t is sufficient to note
the energetic Intervention Of Count Nun,
President OF the Catholic Workmens Society,
and Of Bishop Freppel in the Chamber, to be
convinced that our action against the Hovas
is purely anti-Protestant."
