DEEP SEA FISHES.

How They Are Enabled to Bear the Pres
sure of the Water Above Them.
Fishes have be IN found. it is said,
three miles below the surface of the sea,
and when speciality has been made Of
deep-sea sounding as in the voyage Of
the Challenger and others, the ocean
depths have been found to be very pop
ulOus. Plants, however do not live in
the deepest seas, and it is supposed that
the deep-sea animals either prey upon
one another, or get their food from dead
organisms and plants which sink down
to them. The phOsporescent fishes which
light up the waves about them SO brill
liantly, are found as far as a mile below
tho surface The most of the fishes
inhabiting what are called the 'abyssal
zones" have only rudimentary eyes,
but they have long feelers, which enable
them to grope their way along the bot
tom of the sea. Other species, how
ever, have very large eyes, and these
are suppose to follow the phosphores-
cent fishes. who act as moving lamp
posts for deep-ocean streets. The light
OF some of these phosphorescent fishes
brought up by deep-sea dredges, is so
bright, that during the brief space the
animals survive ii is quite easy TO read
by it. The reason that fishes and mol
lusks that live even three miles under
water are able TO bear the pressure OF
the waves above them, which amounts
20 several ions 20 the square inch, is
because they EUe ovca"diugiy loose
tissues, which allows IT,, riei TO low
through every insterstice ana thus to
equalize their we'ght Indeed, it is as
serted that when this pressure is re-
moved they perish. The account of
the Challenger expedition states that
all the sharks brought up from a depth
OF three quarters of a mile were dead
before they reached the surface Chi

The Anti.PoIYgamous Mormons.

1t was in 1880 that Joseph Smith de-
clared himself, in Manchester. n. Y,
as the peculiar instrument of revela-
ton from the Most High. The story
of the repeated visitations OF the mes
sengers of God which he claimed to
have enjoyed. and of the discovery of
the Book of Mormon and the instru-
mcnt by which it was TO be read. are
well known. The question of plurality
of wives was the source of much dis
cussion i'm the early days of the church,
but in 1882 Joseph Smith had a vision
which settled the matter temporarily.
The Lord says it is right, but the time
for il has not yet come" Such was the
verdict. After his death, however.
Il convention of the church, held
in Utah, declared that as he
died Joseph Smith had dis

AIMED AGAINST PoLYGAMY.
The Utah Commission FOrmulates'
a Loaded Report.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-The Utah cleo
ton commissioners were at work at the
Leland hotel to-day on their annual re-
port to the secretary of the interior
The full board was present, consisting
of Col. G. L. Godfrey, chairman, of Des,
Moines, To-; ex-Lieut. Gov. Robertson,
of Fort Wayne, Ind; Judge A. B. Will
Jams, of Arkansas; ex-senator Alvin
Saunders, of Omaha, and Gen. John b.
McClernand, of Springfield. Gov Rob-
ertson and Judge Williams, the sub
committee on the preparation of the re-
port, were engaged all morning finish
ing their work. They completed the re-
port this afternoon and submitted 1t to
the committee for adoption or change.
The report is formidable document OF
forty pages of legal cap, not differing III
length from the previous annual re-
ports.
.'Of course said Gen. Robertson, ut
would not be courtesy to talk of the subject
matter or even of the topic treated In a
general way the report will not differ greatly
from those previously made by the COM
mittee. A great deal of it formal, reciting
facts well known, if not historical. We are
expected to cover the entire past year and
necessarily have to treat OF many things OF
fcially that are well known at present.
1t is understood that the report will
reflect very large Gov. Robertson's
views. A subject that will be treated
in the report is the recent Salt Lake
City election. in which, owing to the
peculiar municipal election regulations,
the council members are compelled to
secure election by majority of the
votes cast in the entire city. For this
reason, Gentle wards have not been
able to obtain representation. The COM
mittee, in accordance with statute pro-
visions, appointed registrars. and issued
instructions to the election officers for
the next election in February, and it is
thought will recommend additio lal
legislation. 1t is also understood that
other recommendations may be made as
follows:
That many of the territorial and county
officers and suoerintendents of the district
schools be appointed by the president or
governor.
That the district courts be given greater
powers of jurisdiction in cases OF p0lygamy
anywhere in the territory
Exempting prosecutions for such Ofenses
from the statute of limitations.
That il be a penal offenSe for woman to
enter the pOlygamous relation, and extend
ing the term Of imprisonment tor such Of
tense.
Depriving polygsmists from entering and
acquiring public lands
Forbidding the immigration of those be-
lieving in polygamy and the adoption of a
law similar to what is known as the Idaho
law, DISTINGUISHING persons who belong to
an orsa nization which teaches and upholds
pOlygamy.
