AN absurd rumor came from
Washington last week that the re-
publcans are getting up a "dicker''
with the Southern farmers alliance
people to cast their votes for labor
union candidates for congress this
fall with the understanding that
the republicans are to furnish the
sinews of war and the labor union
congressman are to vote with the
republicans on party measures
against the democrats. No such
trade can ever be consummated.
The farmers generally in the South
furnish the conservative backbone
element of the democratic party, and
while they may have grievances and
feel dissatisfied, they take no stock
ill the republican party.

FISHING BY ELECTRIC LIGHT.
How the Deep Seas Srs Iliumined by the
Wires.

In the investigations that were un-
dertaken by the prince of Monaco in
deep-sea soundings an ingenious
method was adopted to obtain speci-
mems of the living creatures existing at
the bottom of the ocean. The appara-
tus used was shown at the Paris exhibit
ton. The cage in which the submarine
animals were caught, according to lie

wire having three conical entrances.
like those of lobster pot, and weighted
for submersion with detachable weights.
1t was, however, very unlikely that at
these immense depths. where the DARK
ness is practically total, any fish would
voluntarily find their way into the
trap. and steps were taken to attract
them by light placed inside it. Obvi-
ously, no light was available but an
electric light, but to get an electric
light to burn mile or two under water
was not easy. The only resource was
to supply the incandescent wire from a
battery in the trap. Here, however,
another difficulty occurred. 1t was
necessary to inclose the battery. which
had to be of considerable power, in a

tic pressure of such depths was 600 or
700 pounds per square inch it was
found impossible to make a box which
was not crushed before it reached its
destination. At last, however, this
trouble was overcome by the curious
device of connecting the box with a
balloon. The balloon was made of
cloth dipped in India-rubber, and so
arranged that the air in it was in COM
munication with that in the battery
box. On sinking the apparatus the
hydrostatic pressure, being virtually
uniform all around the balloon, conf
pressed it equally on all sides, forcing
the air out of it into the battery-box.
until the pressure inside the box and
balloon exactly balanced the pressure
outside. This process went on to any
extent, so that at the bottom Of the sea,
although the balloon was reduced by
the enormous force exerted Oh it to a
small fraction of its original size, it still
kept the internal and external pres
sures equal. On raising the apparatus
again it expanded as the pressure
diminished. and brought the battery
box to the surface uninjured. So sue
cessful was this device that not con-
tent with capturing deep-sea fish, the
prince and his assistants propose on
their next expedition to send down a
Photographic apparatus and bring back
negatives of the bottom of the ocean, as

Immoral Books.

They were two Vassar girls; they
knew all about evolution, but had
never seen the Gaiety dancers; they
could discuss the descent or ascent of
man, the way the stars glittered, and
just who the stars were, though they
had never heard Tony Pastor sing.
They were talking about immoral
literature over a cup of tea, and one OF
them gave lucid opinion about i'm
moral books. She said: "a nasty
book is not necessarily immoral. 1t
may disgust and have no other effect; a
book that gives pictures of vice is not
necessarily immoral, because usually
the contrast is shown by the introduce
ton of virtue, and the one is made so
much more beautiful than the other;
then the vice is not hidden behind a
thin veil. that while it reveals what
seem delights conceals all that dis
gusts. The immoral book, to my
thinking, is the book that upsets your
faith in humanity, that makes you
question the world at large, and tries
to turn you away from your belief in
God Another immoral book is the
one that gives excuse for sin by claim
ing that one is the creature of circum-
stance. that inherited traits cannot be
battled with, and that if one does
wrong ones grandfather or ones
wicked nature can be blamed for it. l
will recite you three bad books-books
that are probable in every house in
New York. First, Mr.. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde that says, why should one try
to be good if there is another self that
rules?' Next, Anna Karenina,' be-.
cause it makes you look out the win.
dow on life and everything is wrong,
everything is dark, there is no hope
and no necessity for hope. Third,
good that, like this, makes one uncer.
tain as to what is right or wrong, and
suggests that it is ones duty to cast
aside the creed of ones youth. These
are immoral books
