FISH IN THE DEPTHS.
PecuIiarities of Deep Sea DeAixens
 They Carry Their Own Lights. SgJVhof o,, odd fch ID

PecuIiarities of Deep Sea Denlzens.
 They Carry Their Own Lights.
 ssWhat an odd fsh!"
 An old member of the Maritime Exchange was exhibiting in bottle one of the queer est submarine monsters that the fancy could paint. It apparently had no beginning and no ending. One could hardly tell where it's outlines left off, and the alcohol in which it was preserved began. It was like jelly.
 ssIt must be remembered" explained the owner, that at the depth of 1000 fathoms, the pressure upon fish or any other body IS equal to ton to square inch. These fab by looking fishes, that can be tied in a knot at the surface, at such depths are firm bod jed and vigorous. When fish, apapted by or ganization to these depths, are brought to the surface, frequently their bodies are rup- tured, their viscera protrude, their eyes start out and they present the appearance of having suffered frightful death. When the fish ascends and the pressure upon his body becomes less and less, the gases in it's body be- gin to expand, and the expansion causes the demoralized appearance of the fish. If the fish could be popped up out of the sea in an instant, it would probably explode with a bang when it reached the surface.
 'tJust look at it's jaws," continued the ex- hibitor. ''When the fish are brought to the surface most of them appear to be soft, pulpy masses. The bones and muscles appear to be feebly developed. The tissues seem thin, weak and easily ruptured. These conditions, implying muscular weakness, are apparently inconsistent with the powerful shape of the jaws and the rapacious looking teeth of some of the predacious fishes.'
 'How do they ive2'
 ''That is hard to say. To the absence of light is due many of the most wonderful pecuiarities of the deep sea fish. Some of them are totally blind, having no eyes at all or mere rudimentary eyes. Others have huge eyes, so organized as to collect as many light rays as possible. Sunlight, it is said, does not penetrate to depth of 200 fathoms. If there is any light there at all it is the merest glimmer, and below that depth there is absolute darkness.
 "Now these deep sea fishes being cut off al- together from the sunlight, many of them furnish their own light. They have no or ganized gas companies, but each furnishes his own ight-carries lantern or torch around with him. They have organs that emit phosphorescent gleam and shed light on their path Some of them carry little torches in the form of tentacles that rise from the tops of the heads. Many of them have regular symmetrical rows of luminous spots on their sides. ."-New York Mail and Express.

CHAPTER VI.

AN ISLAND OF ICE. had to approach the coast within two miles before could satisfy my mind of it's
 nature, and then all doubt left me.
 It was ice!-a mighty crescent of it, as was now ln measure gatherable, floating upon
 the dark blue waters like the new moon upon
 the field of the sky
 You cannot conceive how shocking to me was the appearance of that great g1eaming length of white desolation
 Should steer north and seek to go clear of 1t3 Somehow, the presence of this similitude Of land made the sea appear as enormous as space itself. While it was all clear horizon, the immensity of the deep was in measure limited to the vision by it's cincture But
 this ice line gave the eye something to meas
 ure with, and when looked at those leagues
 of frozen shore my spirits sank into deepest dejection at the thought of the vastness of the waters in whose heart foated in my little boat.
 However, I resolved at last to land if land ing was possible. could stretch my limbs, recruit myself by exercise, and might even
 make shift to obtain nights rest. I stood in desperate need of sleep, but there was no ! repose to be had in the boat I durst not lie
 down in her; if nature overcame me and fell asleep in sitting posture, I might wake to find the boat capsized and myself drown Ing. ms cOnSluefaGlOn reSOlVeQ me, ana by this time being within half mile of the | coast, I ran my eye carefully along it to ob- serve safe nook for my boat to enter and myself to land in.
 Though for a great distance, as I have said, the front of the cliff, and where it was
 highest, too, was sheer fall, coming like the
 side of a house to the water, that part of the island toward which my boats head was pointed sloped down and continued in a low shore, with hummocks of ice upon it at irreg-
 ular intervals, to where it died out in the
 northeast.
 Very happily, had insensibly steered for
 perhaps the safest spot that I could have lighted on. This was formed of large pro-
 jection of rock, standing aslant, so that
 the swell rolled past it without break
 ing. The rock made sort of cove toward which I sailed in full confidence that the
 water there would be smooth. Nor was de-
 ceived, for saw that the rock acted as
 breakwater, whose still influence was felt
 good way beyond it. thereupon steered for
 the starboard of this. s.rock, and when I was
 within it found the heave of the sea dwin-
 dled to scarce perceptible undulation,
 whereupon lowered my sail, and standing to the oar sculled the boat to low lump of ice. on to which stepped.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-03-26

Having secured the boat, beat my hands heartily upon my breast, and fell to pacing little level of ice while I considered what I should do. The coast-I cannot but speak of this frozen territory as land-went in gen. tie slope behind me to the height of about thirty feet; the ground was greatly broken with rocks and powders and sharp points, whence I suspected many Assures in which the snow might not be so hard but that I might sink deep enough to be smothered. I saw no cave nor hollow that could make a bedroom of, and the improved circulation of my blood giving me spirits enough to resolve quickly made up my mind to use my boat as bed.
 So I went to work I took the oar and jammed it into such another crevice as the mast stood in, and to it secured the boat by another line. This moored her very safely There was as good promise of a fair, quiet night as might count upon in these treacher- ous attitudes; the haven in which the boat lay was sheltered, and the water almost still; and this, reckoned, would hold while the breeze hung northerly and the swell rolled from the northeast. spread the sail over the seats, which served as beams for the support of this little, ceiling of canvas, and enough of it remained to supply me with pillow and to cover my lips. I fell to this work while there was light, and when I had prepared my habitation took bottle of ale and handful of victuals ashore and made my sup per, walking briskly while ate and drank. By this time the moon was up; but tie rocks hid the side of the sea she rode over, and her face was not to be viewed from where I was until she had marched two-thirds of her path to the meridian.
 After good look seaward and at the hea- vens to satisfy myself on the subject of the weather, and after a careful inspection of the moorings of the boat, I entered her, feel ing very sure that if @ sea set in from the west or south and tumbled her, the motion would quickly arouse me; and getting under the roof of sail, with my legs along the bot tom and my back against the stem, which I had bolstered with the slack of the canvas, commended myself to God, folded my arms, and went to sleep.

 In this uneasy posture, despite the intense cold, continued to sleep soundly during the greater part of the night.

anadEsrEp THOUGHTS.

Moses had come down from heavenly
heights, had been touched by detlement,
and he bounded back, as IL were, with more
earnest desire for greater manifestation OF
Gods power and closer relationship to
holiness.
Moses had seen an idolatreus revelry; he
desired a vision Of God and his glory that
would forever Danish that ribald scene
from memory.
Moses did not really know how much his
prayer implied. Better err by desiring too
much than too little; better seek greater
heights than fall down in lowness Of mind,
smallness Of purl use and GOODNESS OF heart.
At the very time God had determined
upon the conservation OF Aaron, he was
constructing an idol. How often has God
turned aside his blessing from US, because
we have been discovered in the manufac.
facture of mischief. What a picture of
lifel Human perversity obstructing the
chariot wheels of salvation.
They who do not contend for the faith
are usually too blind to see any faith for
which TO contend.
The world is full of Aarons, men who
cut and trim, endorse new policies and sue
cumb TO the clamor of the populace. The
need of the world is men like Moses, nm
compromising incorruptible patriots, un-
swerving expounders OF truth.
Moses felt the weight of responsibility as
leader, nencS ne prayed, III JnOu Wdb,
forgive their sin, and if not, blot me, l pray
thee, out of thy book" He could not sur
vive an unpardoned people; their pardon
involved his; his heaven must be their
heaven. The shepherd cannot rest while
the flock is being worried by wild beasts,
otherwise he is no shepherd, but a hireling.
The true minister cannot say ~ have done
my duty, but the people are lost; give me
my crown" With Paul rather he would ex-
claim, ~ could wish myself acoursed, rather
than Israel should not be saved" Human
selfshness knows not the divine principle
of selfsacritice.
Gods presence or his absence Is the dis
tinguishing characteristic of nations.
A knowledge of God and of his abiding
presence is essential to successful teaching
and preaching.
Bright light destroys the eye, intense
heat the body, and bursts of thunder the
hearing; there is a near limit to human pow
ers; adaptation TO light, heat and sound.
Limited by nature, we know but little, sec
as it were Through glass darly." Heav-
emily perceptions will be ours by and by, 70
see as we are seen, to know as wo arc
known, and to worship God in the beauty OF
holiness.

GIRLS AND sIOTHEnsi


wish TO tell you of the case Of a girl 10
years old, who had been sick with suppress
sion two years. Her father had paid over
500 for doctors bills, still she was failing.
She had the worst counteuance that have
ever seen, q kind of greenish yellow; she was
emaciated, had constant bowel trouble, and
had 10 take morphine every night in order
to sleep at all. All who saw her thought she
would die. Her parents said they had done
all they could. / repeatedly urged them TO
try Zoa-Phora, but they were strongly pre-
JUDGED against ''nostrums." Finally the
mother said, 1--WE must do something, and
this il as likely TO help her as anything"
She and persuaded the father TO let the
girl try IL. AS a result, In four months her
functions were established and regular, and
in six months she was the picture of health
"a living wonder TO all who had known her.
l could describe 20 other cases, not as
wonderful as this, but still very remarkable
cures.
