The Bottom Of the Atlantic.

The different surveys, necessitated il
laying the various cables now in operation
between Europe and America, have made
the bottom Of the Atlantic almost as well
known as the surface of Europe or Amer
lea. 1t is covered with fine mud, the
remains OF microscopic insects, which will
one day doubtless harden into chalk. Oh
the inequalities of this ocean bottom Prof

widest and most even plains in the world

on the west coast of Ireland, to Trinity
Bay, in Newfoundland. And, except upon
one sharp incline, about two hundred miles
from Valentia, | am not q lite sure that it
would ever be necessary to put the skid
on. so gentle are the ascents and descents
upon that long route.
From Falentia the road would be down
hill for about two hundred miles, to the
point at which the bottom is now covered
by seventeen hundred fathoms of sea
water. Then would come the central
plain, more than one thousand miles wide.
the inequalities of the surface of which
would be hardly perceptible, though the
depth of the water upon it varies from ten
thousand to fifteen thousand feet; and
there are places in which Mont Blanc
might be sunk without showing its peak
above water. Beyond this, the ascent on
the American side commences, and grad
uallv leads, for about three hundred miles.

"That is My Whistle. "

The talk about engineers last Sunday re-
minds me that one night | was riding with an
engineer as he approached the end of his run.
As we drew near the city and the lights sprang
up in the distance and then multiplied and in
creased, he blew the customary whistle. 1t
being peculiar one asked the reason for it,
That" he said, lis my whistle. There's a
little woman and little girl over there in
the town who listen for it every night, and
Won musn't think I'm conceited when | tell
Won that when it sounds on the air their eyes
brighten and their steps eare quicker, as
they make the tea and place the supper on
the table for the one who is soon coming
home. Many a time, when I've come in late.
it has worried me more TO think that nv
wife and little girl are scared almost to death
because they don't hear the whistle, than all
the time | have lost, because they are always
waiting and listening for it, Poor old Tom /,
there was night, some months atterward.
when the welcome whistle did not come to
the listning ones at home, and although they
strained their ears and tried to still the beat
ing of their hearts. and to hope that it would
sonnd upon the air very soon. they never
heard it again. There had been an accident
upon the road-that was all-and the gallant
engineer had ended his last run.-Spring-

The Cost of Running Ocean Steam
RrS.

1t takes money TO run frst-class steamer
across the Atlantic; but, according to Mr..
Cunard those who travel in the swiftest ves'
sells are willing to pay for it, money being
no object to those who travel for pleasure and
dislike long sea voyage.
The average cost of the steamships now
plying between New York and Liverpool is
$500, 900 each, but vessels like the City OF
Rome, Oregon and America cost 81 5000
each. The capital invested in all the steam
ers now running between the various ports OF
the United States and Europe is about $685.
OO0. 900, and over 20, 900 men find employ
ment on them. and probably 20 times that
number indirectly If two-thirds of this fleet
of steamers are at sea constantly, they con-
sumo 900. 900 tons of coal per month, and the
cost to the combined lines for every vessel
while running is S400 day each, $4,000 a
day in all. or 81 200, 900 a month.
The ''racers" of the Atlantic fleet con-
sumo Us to 200 tons of coal day each, and
the swiftest ones even more than this. Again,
$4,000 monthly for them all. OF
about 50, 500, 600 annually. In view of this
immense cost, it is not to be wondered at tina,
American capital feels timid when contem-
plating the Atlantic passenger and freight
traffic, without aid form the national govern
ment Today, England has entire possession
of an enormous traffic which naturally and
righ,fully belongs to the United States, and
this notwithstanding the high price of Goals
combined with competition which reduces the

MurderOus Sea Flower.

Little fishes have other dangers to guard
count of fisherman fastended to rock.
who gets many fish into its basket:
One of the exquisite wonders of the sea
is called the opeet, and is about as large
as the German aster, looking, indeed, very
much like one.
Imagine very large double aster, with
ever so long petals. of a light green,
glossy as satin, and each one tipped with
rose color. These lovely petals do not
lie quietly in their places. like those of
the aster in your garden, but wave about
in the water, while the opelet generally
clings to rock.
How innocent and lovely it looks on its
rocky bed Who would suspect that it
would eat anything grosser than dew or
sunlight But those beautiful waving
arms, as you call them. have other use
than looking pretty. They have to pro-
vide food for large, open mouth, which
is hidden deep down amongst them-so
well hidden that one can scarcely find it.
Well do they perform their duty, for
the instant a foolish little fish touches one
of the rosy tips, he is struck with poison
as fatal to him as lightning.
He Immediately becomes numb, and
in moment, stops struggling; and then
the other beautiful arms wrap themselves
around him, and he IS drawn into the
huge, greedy mouth, and is seen no more
Then the lovely arms unclose, and wave
again in the water. looking as though they
! had never touched fish.
