Life in Ocean Abysses

DR.. Regnard has raised the question
as to whether q corpse which sinks to q
very great depth is preserved indefin-
itely or otherwise from putrefaction.
According to his researches, published
in the archives Of the Biological Society
of Paris, putrefaction does not take
place in decomposable substances sub
mitted to pressure of 600 or 700 at
mospheres. These figures correspond
to depth of 5000 or 1000 meters at
sea. From these experiments it must
not be concluded, according to DR..
Regnard, that there is q total absence
of putrefaction in the greater depths Of
the sea. The curious 'abysmal" fishes
discovered in the Challenger and other
expeditions appear to rise after death.

the surface, though, as rule, they 20 to
pieces, Is the surrounding pressure di-
minishes long before they reach the air.
Still, there is no proof that bathyb bal or
abysmal micro-organisms do not exist;
and, II 50, they could cause decomposi-
ton in the corpses Of men as we'll as in
the dead bodies Of abysmal fishes. The
question is of considerable medico-legal
and yet greater biological interest, and
1t Is far from settled. British Medical

THE discoveries made by Stanley
show that the Nile is the longest river
in the world, being at least 4, 100 miles
in length. We're the Mississippi re-
garded merely as a tributary to the
Missouri, as some geographers contend,
the latter stream would surpass the
African water-course, having a length
of $500 miles. The Amazon is esti-
mated at 8, 800 miles and is second in
size of the great rivers of the world.

There was man who held an honor

To come in contact with him was to feel
was something in life worth living for.
When knew him was a boy. used
to go to his train to meet him and carry
his handbag for him just to be in his
company. When l became of age I
drifted into this business, and have been
in it ever since. One day was in the
police court waiting for my case to come
up-one that had against some
poor devil. The clerk was calling
the docket In solemn sort of way. He
came to one name in the list which was
familiar to me. After he had called it
the officer to whom the arrest was
credited stepped up before the court and
said in a mechanical sort of way, I
thought, "'Found dead this morning in
his CELL
THE Judge drew mark across the
name on the docket and said:
$50 far as the jurisdiction Of this
court is concerned this case is settled
forever
AFTER my case was disposed of I went
down to the cell where the dead man
was. He was the faithful old friend of
whom told you in the beginning. 1t
seems that he came downtown one
night and in some way-I don't know
how-he got to drinking; got in bad
company. One of the chaps hit him on
the head. He was brought to the sta
ton on charge of being disorderly and
locked up. The wound was more seri-
GUS than was supposed and he died
alone in his cell

part of life, but the sound of that Of
fcer's voice-'Found dead in his
cell this morning'-when the name of
my friend was called, has never ceased
to ring in my ears."-Chicago Tribune.

IT may be surprise to many to learn
that statistics prove the sea to be safer
to live on than the land. The late
Thomas Gray, of the Board of Trade
Marine Department, London, said: Il
have always contended, and am more
than ever confirmed in it, that man is
safer at sea than anywhere else, in a
fairly good ship, properly manned and
carefully navigated. The death rate
of sailors is under twelve per thousand;
the loss of life by shipwreck is about
quarter of this; in fact, there are more
lives lost among miners by accident
than among sailors, and many more
among railway employees"
