The Ocean Floor.

After four years of sounding ,dredg-
ing, etc., the expedition sent out un-
der the auspices of the British gov
eminent for the purpose of mapping
the floor of the ocean has published
its report and unfolded its maps to
the curious gaze of the "land lub-
bers" They show that the Atlantic
il drained would be vast plain with
mountain range near the middle
running parallel with our coast. An
other range intersects the first al
most at right angles and crosses from
Newfoundland to Ireland.
The Atlantic, according to these
soundings and maps, is thus divided
into three great basins, but they are
no longer set down as "unfathomed
depths" The tops of most of these
sea mountains are about two miles
below the surface, and the deepest of
the basins two and q half miles
deeper. According TO Reclus, the tops
of these mountains are as white as
though they were lying in the region
of perpetual snow, the cause being
countless numbers of q species of pure
white shell, which literally cover
what would otherwise be jagged sur
faces.
There is a queer old legend which
comes down to us from the time OF
Scion and Plato, according to which,
in the early ages of the world, a con
tinent extended from the west coas Z
of Africa far out toward what is now
South America. These recent scien-
tific deep-sea soundings cast much
LIZ hit on this old tradition. Accord
ing to their report they found IAN
elevated plateau the shape and ex-
tent of which corresponds to the size
of the lost A tlantic almost exactly, ="
what if nineteenth century ingenuity
should fish up the vast contine nt
which Maroon says was "lost in a
fearful cataclysm before the dawn OF
present history"

THERE Is quickening of the real

promise OF fairly good winter for in

activity In the building line which
has characterized this city all season,
despite the stagnation elsewhere is
evidenced in the work of the archi-
tects from which there is every reas-
on to conclude that San Antonio will
do more building next year than in
any year in her history.

men AND WOMEN

Many men and women who sho time
ago thought themselves of strong physique,
splendid intellect and nerves of IRON marvel
at the feeling of exhaustion and total lack
of interest In their, business affairs. They
are overpowered by sense of lassitude.
languOr and dullness Their yaunted
strength and self control seem TO have left
them when most needed; already they have
experienced lack of old time vigor, a GER
tain lack of cOnfiden sc, aud nervous appre-
hension instead of the old courage; con-
slant feeling of las itude and waning am
bitien: their blood is impoverished, their
eyes lusteress, they are haunted with mel
anchOly and frequ antly have the "b ues:"
they feel their vitality wasting day by day
and night by night; they are easily diScour-
aged, irritable, mOrOSe and unhappy: pl cas-
ures tire aud friends bore them.

what you are coming to? Come at once and
consult DIR. j. N. Hathaway, the successful
specialist of this city, and he will tell you
also how t. get cured. Do not delay.

a Mammoth Phosphate 'Dredge.

"aHhbbu EnOspnate DreuSe.
The mammoth dredge which has
been in course of construction for
several months at the yard of the
Merrill-Stevens Engineering Co at
Jacksonville, Fla, was successfully
launched on the 22d. The dredge is
intended for the San Francisco Dredg-
ing Co., and is of immense propor-
tions. The dimensions are given as
follows: Length 125 feet, beam thir-
ty-five feet ID depth ten feet. 1t will
be fitted with a 20-inch centrifugal
pump, which will he driven by
300 horse power engine besides
auxiliary donkey boilers, and will
be fitted up with it's own electric
plant for working incandescent and
arc lights which will be used Tor
night work. Most of the machinery
Is on the ground, and will be put in
place as rapidly as possible, and the
company expects to have the dredge
ready in about six weeks time. The
launch was under the immediate sup
ervision of Capt. A. G. Small, who
has been acting as supervisor of con-
struction for the builders. The dredge
was christened Florida. and is GER
taiDly splendid construction and a
credit to the builders.

JUDGING from the horrible details
that are published of the outrsges on

ers, wives, sisters and daughters OF
this fair land have no rights to their
own persons that men are bound to
respect. The conclusions to be drawn
from the crime calendar is by no
means tlattering to our boasted
American chivalry. II mans inhu-
manity to man makes countless mil
lions mourn, then mans licentious
pursuit ofwoman makes mourners OF
all the motherhood of earth. Love,
luxury and lust run riot round the

were only half dozen on the score of
which he had any doubts, the others
all coming from weIl-known gangs of
blackmallers.
The method employed by these
men for working the racket" is as
follows. The ad. first appears in the
paper in the regulation style so IA
miliar to every on Q: "Refined young
lady of 20, bright blue eyes, lovable
disposition, seeks compsuionship of
educated young man" There are al
ways plenty of fools ready to answer
such an advertisement, and the young
man els soon so deeply tangled up in
an affair that she wishes to break
Oft he finds it too late; the blackmail-
ers hold letters and other tangible
proof against him, and inform him
rOundly that he must either pay a
few hundred dollars or have his name
brought into the courts on q breach
of-prOmise suit OF course, In many
instances their schemes are success
full, tina young man or his family pay
ing the required sum in order to avoid
any scandal.
The opposite case is also of frequent
occurrence. The advertisement that
sppears this time is that of an educat-
ed young man seeking the compan-
ionship of the refined young lady. 1t
is surprising how many young ladies
of good family there are who answer
these advertisements Just for fun"
and who have their letters addressed
to one of the numerous private post
Office in drug stores, etc. But. like the
ostrich which hides its head in this
sand when pursued, they soon learn
to their cost that they are no match
for the hunters. After carrying on
their amusing correspondence for a
while with their unknown advertiser
they tire of it, and endeavor to put
stop to it. Immediately they begin
to receive letters in their own name
and addressed to TO their own homes,
threatening to publish the letters
they wrote In jest unless a certain
amount of cash is forthcoming. The
willy blackmailers play sharp game,
and easily ascertain the identity of
their fair correspondents from the
very beginning of the affair.
II the aid of good lawyer is
secured the treacherous letters may
be usually bought back at from $25 TO
$50, but when the young woman is
afraid to confess the matter to her
parents, and has property of her own,
the swindiers often receive large
sums in this manner.
