in this great field OF fruit culture, and to be-
come personally acquainted with you. Your
coming is an inspiration to US. and may your
leaving be followed by higher appreciation of
what each in his respective sphere is accom-
plishing and a most hearty cooperation in the
great work in which we are Jointly interested"
HON. C. L. wArRoUs' REPLY.
At the request Of the president Hon. C. L.
Watrous Of Des Moines, Iowa, responded to
Mr.. Willis address of welcome. He spoke
earnestly and in an interesting way Of the work
upon which the Department OF Agriculture are
engaged upon in common, and said that with
such nucleus here in Washington as the de-
partment furnished the members Of the society
felt sure that their work would go on long after
they themselves were through. In no other
country was there a government department
that devoted itself so successfully to the well
ware and comfort of the common people of the
land One of the chief duties of the So
ciety heretofore was to introduce into the
country new classes Of fruit and to straighten
out the crooked places in their nomenclature.
In looking around at the pictures Of aboriginal
tribes upon the walls Of The lecture room Mr..
Watrous said that he was reminded to speak of
an important work that is being done more es-
pecially by the western members of the society.
This is the perfecting and developing of the
fruits that were used by the red men of the
country with the object Of making them suita-
BILE for the uses Of civilized man. Mr.. Watrous
closed his remarks with few pleasant words Of
thanks to MIR. Willis fer the kindness Of bis
welcome to the society.
At the conclusion Of this little interchange of
courtesies the president reverting to the regu-
lar program for tho bulness meeting stated
that the next item In order was the appoint
nasnt Of working committees. He would not
appoint the committee ON nomination Of off,
GERS but would Let each state delegation name
one Of it, members 70 oct upon IL The other
committees he announced ~ follows

ABOUT THE SEAS.
What Would Happen If the Mediterra
mean Were Lowered.

What Would Happen If the Mediterra-
mean Were Lowered.
The oceans and seas are the great reser-
voirS into which run all the rivers of the
world. 1t is the eistern which finally catches
all the rain that falls not oaly upon its own
surface, but upon the surface of the land as
well. All of this water is removed again
by evaporation as fast as it is supplied, it
being estimated that every year layer OF
the entire water surface of the globe over
fourteen feet thick is taken up into the
clouds t. fall again as rain.
The vapOr is fresh, OF course, and II all
the water OF the oceans could be removed in
the same way and none of it returned it. is
calculated that there would be a layer of
pure salt 230 feet thick Left in the bottoms
of these great reservoirs. This is upon the
suppOSiti0n that each three feet of ocean
water contains Que inch of silt, aad that
the average depth of all oceans is three
miles.
At depth of $500 feet the temperature is
uniform, varying but a trifie between the
poles and the equator. In many of tue
deep bays on the coast of Norway and other
Arctic countries the water often begins to
freeze at the bottom before it does at the
surface. At the same depth-3500 feet
waves are not felt. Waves do not travel,
that is, the water does not move forward,
although it seems TO do so; 1t remains sta
tionary. 1t is the rising and falling that
moves on.
The pressure of the water increases rap
idly with the depth. At distance of one
mile the pressure is reckOned as about one
ton to the square inch, or more than 133
times the pressure Of the atmosphere.
To get correct soundings in deep water is
difficult. The best invention for that pur-
pose is shot weighing about thirty pounds,
which carries down a line. Through the
shot or "sinker" a hole Is drilled, aud
through the hole is passed rod of iron,
which moves easily back and forth.
At the end of the bar a cup is dug out, the
inside being coated with lard. The bar is
made fast to the line, sling holding the
shot in position. When the bar, which ex-
tends below the shot, touches the bottom,
the sling unhookS and the shot slides down
ward and drives the lard-coat-d cup into
tile sand at the bottom. In that way the
character of the oceans floor is determined.
If the surface of the Atlantic was lowered
6564 feet il would be reduced to exactly half
its present width. Ii the Mediterranean
was lowered Go feet Italy would be joined
10 Africa, and three separate seas would
remaln.-St. Louis Republican.

BARBARA CARMELITE.
Her Death in Vienna Recalls a Romantic
Story.

NEW YORK. June 20-A Vienna letter to
the Tribune says that Sister Barbara Ubryk
Carmelite, the nun who was the innocent
cause of the Cracow riots in 1869, died re-
Gently In a lunatic asylum in that city,
where she spent the last twenty-tw years
of her life. She had been forced by her
family into convent to prevent her marry
ing an officer without rank or fortune. and
for twenty years her family heard nothing
OF her by her express desire. as was believed
at the time. After twenty years the con-
vent authorities refused information to her
brother and the Archbishop. The latter
then made a long search and discovered
that the nun had been confined in dun
geoD. half bitched up, over nineteen years.
Her reason was gOue, and her hands and
feet were bound with chains The A6besS
was forced to confess that she ordered this
torture because the nun had in the first
year in the convent kept up correspond
ence with her lover and consented to elGpe.
Bread and water was given the nun three
times a week. When the people heard the
story they threatened to burn down the con-
vent in which the AbbeSs was imprisoned.
The military was called out, and the riots
which ensued lasted long and were bloody.
The nuns last years were passed in qnies
and pleasant surroundings. Her health was
restored, but not her reason or speech.

THE HAYTIAN REVOLT.
The French Government to Investigate the
Killing Of RiSaud.

PARIS, June 20.-The Haytian Minister
here has received a letter from the Haytaa
Secretary OF State dated at Port-au- Prince,
saying that on Corpus Christi day, May
2Sth. President Hippolyts was attending re-
ligious ceremonies in the Cathedral al Port-
au-Prince, when a band of desperadocS at
tackled the prison, forced open the doors
and liberated tie prisoners therein con-
fined. The band then It ,rted for the Presi-
dental palace, hoping to surprise and as
SaSsjnate President Hipp0lyte and his
Cabinet Of Ministers The former promptly
modified his forces, and managed to sup
press the revolt. The leaders of the revolu-
tionary movement were placed under ar
rest and a number of their acc0mpliees
we're also made prisoners. Rigaud was shot
after convincing proof having been fur
mlShed that he was not French subject.
The Secretary Of States letter concludes
with the remark that ''the country is now
Tranquil and will remain So"
FRANCE MAY INTERFERE.
Ribot, Minister Of Foreign Affairs, has
submitted to the Cabinet a report from the
French Minister at Port an Prince, in
which the Minister says he had sent pro-
test TO the Haytian Government against the
execution Of a merchant named kigaud,
who claimed French protectioc. At a Cabi-
net council held To-day u was decided 10 ue-
maud reparation from Hayti for the shoot
ing by HippOIyte of Rigaud, on the ground
that be was a French subject. The Steele
to-day says European cabinets are discuss
ing the exDedency of taking united action in
order to restore order in Hayti.
THE SITUATION CLOSELY WATCHED.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-No official infor-
nation has been received here of the mOoted
Intervention of the European Powers in
Haytan affairs. The fact cannot be dis
guised tlat the situation in the disturb bed
republic is being watched with apprehen-
sion by our own Government, but there is
still a strong belief that the Haytians will
be able t. restore order without outside in
terference. As TO the attitude of the United
States Government toward the reported con-
temDlated concerted action OF European ma
tions nothing can be predicted until it IS
definitely known what shape this action will

a Narrative Vlndlcatlng the TTuthtulness OF

NEW YORK, June E0.-Recently an old
lady of Marblehe ad said her mo her had
from Floyd Ire son himself the true story Of
his being tarred and feathered She said
that some drunken sailors uBjustly accused
him in spirit of revenge Of scofing at and
leaving a sinking rival in fishing boat. and
he was tarred and feathered without an in
veStigation. The Tribune. however. prints
for the first time narrative which vindi-
Gates the truthfulness Of Whtter's famous
poem. The story of the loss of the schooner
Active in 1908 was written by one Of the
survivors. Sumner Wilson. sooa after his
rescue, and it is indOrsed by Rev. Justus
Forward Of Brlcherstown, who, in a letter
of May %. 1910, said: ''The public may de-
pend on the truth of the facts here mar
rated. They do not depend solely on the
veracity of the narrator. His fellOw-pre-
served sufferers will attest to the truth of
them. Sumner Wilson, the narrator, is a ma
tive of BelcheTstOwn and is respected among
u.s." In the narrative Wilson makes only
two references to Captain Ireson of the
schooner Betsy, but says positively that Ire
son passed the wreck Active by on the first
day of the storm aud would afford no assist
ance, and that "on the following morning
the Betsy was still in sight, but Ires0D, like
a hard wretch, put off from US and

A Victory for Cornell,

New LONDON Comm, June 2O,-A two
mile race between the Cornell and Columbia
freshmen college crews was rowed over the
Thames River course from Winthrop Point
to the naval station this evening. Cornell
was easy victor, winning by three and a
half lengths in ten minutes aud thirty sec
0nds. Columbia had a slight advantage at
the first, but Cornell, pulling a powerful
forty stroke, soon crept up aud at the quar-
ter was leading. They were never headed
again. The Columbia crew showed signs of
distress, and No. fell over in his seat COM
pletely exhausted as the line was crossed.
