Deep Sea Soundings.

In the Investigations that were under
taken by the Prince of Monaco in deep sea
souRdings, extending from the banks Of
Newfoundland to the coast of Africa, a
most ingenious method was adopted to
bring up specimens of the living creatures
existing at great depths in the ocean. The
apparatus as used is displayed at the pavil-
ion of the principality of Monaco at the
Paris exhibition. The cage in which the
submarine animals were caught consisted of
a cylinder Of wire having three conical en-
frances, like those of lobster pot, aud
weighted for submersion with detachable
weights. It was, however, very unlikely
that at these immense depths, whore the
darkness is practically total, any fishes
would voluntarily find their way into the
trap, and steps were taken to attract them by
q hight placed inside it. Obviously. no ght
was available but an electric light, but to
getsan electric light to burn a mile or two
under water was not easy. To send the
current from above was impracticable, as
the friction of the thick insulated wire
would cause it to break before the trap
could be drawn up, and the only resource
was TO supply the incandescent wire from
battery in che trap. The difficulties pre-
sented by the presence of salt water and
the existence of enormous hydrostatic
pressure, were, however, ingeniously and
successfully overcome, and 50 effective did
the device prove that, not content with
capturing deep sea fishes with it, it is pro-
posed on the next expedition to send own

TOILERS AND TILLERS.
LIVINGSTON GOES BEFORE THE
KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

He Believes q Confederation OF the
Farmers Alliance and Knights Will
be Formed at the Convention ct st.
Louisa Merge One of Powderly's
Dreams-Other Business Of the Days
Session.
ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 15.-The federation
Of the Knights of Labor with the farmers
alliance is a foregone conclusion. When
Col. L. F. Livingston appeared before the
rational convention to-day and stated the
aims and objects of the alliance, over which
he presided, it was shown conclusively that
the ends for which both orders are working
are identical, and it was asserted that to-
gether they could form an irresistible
power. and what each singly is obliged to
struggle for, united they could demand and
obtain.
TIE LAW REPORT.
The first two hours Of the morning
session were devoted to the unfinished por-
tion of the law committees report. 1t
stated that several Of the most important
changes in the constitution tuey had ever
received had been suggested to the COM
mittee after the time prescribed by law for
the consideration of such documents, and
it was therefore impossible for them to
take definite action. IL was impossible to
bring the subjects before the convention in
the form of general orders.

door and escorted them to the platform.
The speeches of Messrs. Livingston aud
Powderly were the notable ones, although
the other gentlemen made addresses.
PRINCIPLES OF THE ALLIANCE.
President Livingston devoted half an
hour to discussion of the principles of the
alliance. He described the condition of the
farmer in the south, how he had to contend
against the greatest difficulties since the
war, and how he was now laboring in the
hope that he might educate his Children.
The percentage of illiteracy in the south
showed the great odds against which he had
to contend. The mortgaged condition of
the southern farms formed one feature Of
his talk. His address made a deep impress
sion, and was frequently applauded-
PowDERLY'S REPLY.
MIR. Powderly's reply showed that he is
thoroughly in sympathy with the federation
talk, and That he will urge some plan upon
both orders. He urged that the ends for
which they were aiming were identically
the same and that some sort of cooperation
is essential to the welfare of both.
1t was regular love feast and the strong
points made by all the speakers were loudly
applauded by the knights. The sentiment
in favor of federation is growing. No i'm
poriant action was taken to-day.
Several interesting matters were taken
up but were referred to different commit
tees.

the PUBLIC LAND BILL.

Special to the Capital Commonwealth.
WAsHINHToN, D. c., February T.
The public land bill passed some time
ago by the senate was passed by the
house today with sundry amendments.
The bill repeats the pre-emption and
timber culture acts, providing that
public land shall hereafter be disposed
of under the provisions of the home
stead laws only. 1t also repeats what
is known as the Communication" act of
the homestead laws, so that five yerrs'
actual residence will hereafter be re-
quired before patent is granted.
The bill provides that the register
or receiver of the land office may
may grant any settler one years leave
of absence upon proper showing, but
such time of absence shall not be de-
Quoted from the five years residence
required. Title to claims already in
itiated can of course be perfected.
The bill goes to the conference
committee and will doubtless become
a law in practically its present form.
1t is the most important and far-reach-
ing public land bill that has been be-
fore congress since the passage of the
original homestead law.
