Deep-Sea Desolation.
The Catholic Magazine.

Despite the fanciful pictures which some writers have drawn of the oceaI bed, its desolation, at least in its deep est parts, must be extreme. Beyond the first mile it is vast desert O slime and ooze, upon which is con. stantly dripping rain of dead car casses from the surface, which carcassel supply the nourishment of the scanty fauna inhabiting the abyssal region in some places more than five milei from the sunshine-and the micro. scope reveals that the slimy matter covering this deepest ocean bed is very similar in composition to the ancient chalk of the cetaceous period, while mixed with it here and there ar, minute metallic and magnetic bodies which have been proved to be dus from meteorites. At long distances { phosphorescent light gleams from th' head of some passing fish which hal strayed thither from higher anC happier zone. But it is not until W, have mounted & good deal nearer th' surface that the scene changes for th' better. We now meet with forests O brilliantly colored sponges, while th' phosphorescent animals swimming about are much more numerous, anC the nearer we get to the littoral zon, more and more phosphorescent light appear, till at length the scene be. comes truly animated. When only 1,200 feet separates us from the sun. shine, we come upon the first sea- weed and kelp q 200 feet is the deepest limit of plant life in water), but we must rise still another 1000 feet and more and get as near the top as 1S0 feet be- fore we find any reef building corals As plants do not live in deep sea, the deep-sea animals either prey on ont another or get their food from dead organisms and plants which sink dowr to the bottom.
 Thus Maury says: "The sea, like the snow cloud, with it's flakes in $ calm, is always letting fall upon iti bed showers of microscopic shells An experiment proves that tiny shell would take about a week to fal from the surface to the deepest depths Since sunlight does not penetrate much farther than the littoral zone there would be beyond this perpetual dark. ness but for phosphorescence. Many of the animals inhabiting the conti. mental and abyssal zones have merely J rudimentary eyes; but these blind creatures have very long feelers, whicf help them to grope their way along the bottom. Other deep sea animals on the contrary, have enormous eyes and these very likely congregatt around such of their number as arr phosphorescent, and may, perhaps follow the moving lamp posts about wherever they go. And so bright ii this light on many of the fish brought up by the dredge that, during the brief space the animals survive, it ii not difficult to read by it. The req son why fishes and mollusks living more than three miles under water art able to bear 6 pressure of several tom is that they have exceedingly loost tissues, which allow the water to flow through every interstice and thu equalize the weight. When the pres. sure is removed, they perish.

SEPARATE CHURCHES.

The Presbyterian Assembly meeting in
New York has decided, after very long
and careful debate, to encourage separate
churches for the colored people OF
course this action will be very obnoxious
to the highly organized humanitarian
cranks who live at the greatest distance
from the negro and know least
about him. II will offend those political
humbugs who pretend to think that a
white man is as good as a negro if he
votes the Republican ticket and subscribes
literally to the campaign fund. But to the
sensible, quiet, conservative man who can
consider the radical differences between
the race which is the conservator of
Christian civilization and race Of freed
men which is only emerging from the
lowest class Of the human kind this is
simple justice to both races.
There is no reason why the negro
should not be treated with the utmost
kindness and the most helpful consiuera.

should not be foisted to social position

In an article on the difficulty Of print
ing live news In such manner as to
please every man and especially The man
who knows least of newspapers, and of
everything else the Chester Times says
Added to these difficulties there is still
a greater one constantly confronting a
newspaper man-the reticence Of per
son holding public facts in his possession,
or positive refusal to divulge them.
This is the Chinese wall to reliable news
paper work. In cases of this kind there
is but one resort of the reporter and that
is TO find some one having in whole or in
part the knowledge desired who is will
ing to impart it to the public and in
default Of this, less reliable information
must be accepted.
1t is often the case that the very man
who has been asked for correct and full
information in vain comes to the news
paper objecting to the news that was
printed. BE had il in his power to give
information but refused to give it and
then complains. Such man obtains
little sympathy from the public
and less from the newspaper
man. On public matters and an
all matters in which the public is in
terested, or which are sure TO become Of
public interest the man applied to would
do well to give candid and correct in
formation. Some people never seem to
learn that the newspaper reporter is the
sharpest shrewdest, livest and the least
likely to be imposed upon Of all men
living; some men will never learn that the
newspaper reporter is the most suscepti
