The exhaustion cntailed by this

be done to restore the lost energy,
and recreation alone can accomplish
it with the least expenditure of time.
The recreation must, of course, be

A good digestion is necessary to

aided by proper physical exercise. and
it is thus that we may say that exer-

A Unique Church.

Correspondence Rutland (Vt.) Her.
aid: The most singular-looking church
to be found in New England is located
in Lancaster, Mass. This edifce is
tifty-two feet long by thirty wide. The
walls are half of rough stone and half
of wood, each five feet in hight, max
ing it ten feet from the ground to the
caves. The roof is of the common
kind, without tower, steeple, or belfry.
The entrance is at one corner of a
highly ornamental porch and vestibule.

design. No description of the audi

The pulpit, the pews, and the ceiling

black cherry from a single tree that
stood on the site of this church. The
roof is supported by truss-work of
beams of white wood, partly arched
and open to the apex, and stained of
cherry color to correspond with the
work below. This cherry wood is very
wavy and curly, and when polished
and vanished is superior to any of our
native woods. At the west end of the
church there is large Sunday-school
room and library finished in the same
style. 1t is said that from the first day
ground was broken for this building to
its completion ten years ago no profane
word was heard from any workman.
The church stands out in beautiful
lawn, partly surrounded with evergreen
shrubbery, and attracts a good dealfo
attention on account of its odity.

Extent OF tho Ocean.

st. James Gazette: At the last meet
ing of the Royal Society Of Edinburg
DR.. John Murray of the Challenger
expedition made communication on
1.-The Hight and volume of the Dry
Land and the Depth and Volume of
the Ocean," According TO his own in
vestigations, Engineering says, the
mean hight of the land of the globe
was $3.50 feet above the sea level. and
the mean depth of the ocean was 49,
48O feet. or 1850 fathoms. If the
ocean were regarded as being divided
into two parts by the 1000 fathom line
it would be found that the mean depth
of the area having less depth than
1000 fathoms was 2,O28 feet, or 338
fathoms, or nearly the same depth be-
meath the sea as the hight of the dry
land above it. On the other hand, the
mean depth of the area beyond the
1000 fathoms is 1860 feet, or 2,44O
fathoms. The former area-called by
Dr.. Murray the transitional anea''-
occupies 24,000,000 square miles; and
the latter area, which is the abysmal
area, and is situated fully three miles
below the average nights Of the CONT
nents, occupies 113,000,00O square
miles, or more than half of the surface
of the earth. In the transitional area
of the ocean there are many and varied
conditions in respect of light, heat,
currents, changes of level, the charac-
ter and variety of the deposits. and in
the animals and plants which inhabit
the various parts of the region.
The deposits are in most respects
similar to those which make up very
large part of the sedimentary forma-
ton of the dry land. In the abysmal
area there is a uniform set of condi-
tons, the temperature being near the
freezing point, with an annual range not
exceeding Fahrenheit, and there
being no sunlight or plant life. There
is great abundance of animal life; but
the forms from various parts of the
area are very similar, and unlike those
of shallower waters;. and the deposits,
which accumulate slowly, are unlike
any of the sedimentary deposits of the
dry land. From DR.. Murray's investi-
cations it also appears that if the dry
land of the globe were reduced to the
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1888-04-11

sea level by being removed 20 and
piled up in the shallower waters Of the
ocean then its extent would be about
8O,000,000 square miles, and the rest
of the surface of the earth would be
covered by an ocean extending to 49,
000, 900 square miles. Again, should
the whole of the solid land be reduced
to one level under the ocean then the
surface of the earth would be covered
by an ocean with a uniform depth Of
about two miles.

a New YORK telegram of Feb. 18th
contains the following interesting
mention of developments growing
out of the Sugar Trust. What seems
bad for consumers Of the article in
the United States bodies no i'll, on the
surface of this intelligence, to the
producers of sugar in these Islands.
Where the situation bears an aspect
of grimness for US, however, is in the
fact that it is the interest of the huge
monopoly to depress the raw sugar
market while artifcially forcing up
the prices of the refined product.
The telegram reads:
Sugar men We're excited to-day over
the report that the members of the
Sugar Trust had decided TO ship large
quantities of the best refined sugar to
London, in order to keep up the prices
of refined sugar in this country by re-
lieving the market here of any surplus
and creating shortage, or what would
practically be a corner in sugar. All
the members of the Trust here abso-
lutely declined to give any infOrma-
ton, but in the trade generally the
story was believed. The news had
evidently been cabled to London, as
the sugar quotations of that city, re-
ceived late in the afternoon, showed a
falling off in prices there. Trust certi-

SEVERAL columns of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle of February 14th are
taken up with kilograms from all
over the country, together with a
symposium of opinions of prominent
politicians in that city, regarding a
letter written to Hon. B. f. Jones,
chairman of the National Committee,
by Mr.. James @. Blaine, stating that
his name should not be presented at
the Republican National Convention.
Opinions as given differ materially as
to the nature of the letter, but the
staunchest Republicans in Congress
and out generally agree that it is an
honest, sincere expression of the
great statesman's purpose not to be a
candidate for the Presidency. Some
supporters of the Maine man, how
ever, believe that he would not OBJ
struct the desire OF the party if the
overwhelming voice of the Conven
ton was that he should stand. Pa
cifc Coast Republicans may in brief
be stated to hold the opinion that if
they could not win with Blaine they
could with no other man, while at
the same time they are ready to ad-
NIT that they are not the whole party
but must fall in with the wishes of
the National Convention. Senator
Quay, of Pennsylvania, interviewed
in Philadelphia, expressed disap-
pointment at Blaine's declination,
having believed his nomination GER
tain and thinking that he had made
blunder that he could not remedy
He would not dare to be candi
date after that letter, because if he
was nominated he would certainly be
defeated" Among reasons advanced
for Mr.. Blaine's action are a doubt if
he was the man to lead the party to
victory, Indifferent health causing
him to desire repose, and, coupled
with the latter, his inclination
for literary work, in which
he has already won no small
distinction. Without any disparage-
ment to the able statesman from
Maine, it may be doubted whether
his withdrawal, even at this late day,
will prove a source of weakness to
the Republican party. Although he
would probably secure more votes on
first ballot than any other man, yet
Blaine is one of those strong men
whose enemies, many or few, are in
veterate, and upon whose name it
would be more difficult to effect a
union of factions than upon that of a
man of less sturdy mould and smaller
calibre.
