Deep Sea Fishes or the Pacific.

About $50 species of deep sea fishes have
been obtained by the Albatross in the
depths OF the ocean on the continental
slope OF California. These creatures are.
as rule, very soft in body, almost black
In color, and many of them covered with
phosphorescent spots, by which they can
see their way in the darkness. They live
in the open sea, at depth OF two to FIVE
miles, and their soft bodies at this depth
are rendered firm by the tremendous
pressure OF the surrounding waters. In
their native haunts the light and heat
OF the sun scarcely penetrate; the dark
ness is almost absolute, and the tempera-
ture OF the water is at the point OF freez-
ing. The creatures living at these great
depths are not, generally speaking, de-
scended from the shore species of the
same region; they constitute groups by
themselves, and forms very similar are
found in all parts Of the ocean from the
poles to the equator.-Overland Monthly.

"Are men punished in this life for their
misdeedsf Well, am inclined to believe
they are. An incident In the handsome
little city OF Rochelle, ILL.,, converted me
to this way OF thinking" remarked
Clarence Wood to the corridor man at
the Laclede. "In 1870 was living in Ro-
chelle. Several ugly fires, evidently the
work OF incendiaries, had occurred in the
village, and at last suspicion pointed to a
man named Adams. A party started to
hunt him up, with the avowed intention
OF lynching him. He hid in the third
story of brick building, where he was
discovered. A rope was hastily placed
about his neck and he was thrown out
OF the window. In the struggle he caught
hold OF the window sill and one of the
lynchers seized rusty old hatchet and
chopped of his fingers. IL was after
ward discovered that the poor devil was
entirely innocent of the crime for which
he suffered. Eleven men, some of them
prominent merchants of Rochelle, were
in the party that hanged him, and within
an incredibly short space Of time every
one OF them met a violent death. The
man who chopped of the fingers of their
victim shot himself through the heart.
Two or three went crazy, and either de-
stroyed themselves or were accidentally
Killed. Two were shot in brawls. At the
end of three years not one of them was
alive. Retribution? don't know, but /
know that nearly every body thoug ht So"

can live on % ounces, and a man doing
