For this work no device has yet been
found which will take the place OF the

hard and exhausting. and six hours OF
it constitutes good average day, even
for a robust chainmaker. The wages
are fair. being from $3.50 to $500 day;
but comparatively few native Ameri-

the members of this craft. The major

THE ATLANTlc'S BED.
Interesting Facts and Figures Not Gener-
ally Known.

Interesting Facts and Figures Not Gener.
ally Known.
Proceeding westward from the Irish
coast the ocean bed deepens very grad
ually; in fact for the first $50 miles the
gradient is but 6 feet to the mile. In the
next 20 miles, however, the fall is over
1000 feet, and so precipitous is the sud-
den descent that in many places depths
of 1900 to 1.600 fathoms are encoun-
tered in very close proximity to the 100
fathom line. With the depth of 1900
to 1900 fathoms the sea bed in this part
of the Atlantic becomes slightly un-
dulating plain, whose gradients are so
light that they show but little altera-
ton of depth for 1900 miles. The ex-
traordinary fairness of these submarine
prairies renders the familiar smile OF
the basin rather inappropriate. The
hollow of the Atlantic is not strictly a
basin, whose depth increases regularly
toward the center; it is rather saucer
or dish-like one, SO even is the contour
of its bed.
The greatest depth in the Atlantic has
been found some 100 miles to the
northward of the island of ST. Thomas,
where soundings of 1875 fathoms were
obtained. The seas round Great Britain
can hardly be regarded as forming part
of the Atlantic hollow. They are
rather part of the platform banks OF
the European continent which the
ocean has overlooked. An elevation OF
the sea bed 100 fathoms would suffice to
lay bare the greatest part of the North
sea and join England to Denmark, Hol.
land, Belgium and France. A deep
channel of water would run down the
west coast of Norway, and with this
the majority of the fiords would be con-
nected. A great part of the Bay OF
Biscay would disappear; but Spain and
Portugal are but little removed from
the Atlantic depression. The 100 fathom
line approaches very near the west
coast, and soundings of 1000 fathoms
can be made within 90 miles of Cape St
Vincent, and much gre cater depths have
been sounded at distances but little
greater than this from the western
shores of the Iberian peninsula -Nau
tical Magazine.

Bad Eyes Are useful.

Not even bad eggs are laid in vain
Years ago those that had survived thei,
culinary usefulness were of no value To
dealers, who used to pay garbage col
iectors to take them away. Nowadays
bad eggs are almost a regular article OF
commerce. The yollss can be so treated
as to make a most valuable dressing for
kid and other fine leather. Instead of
paying to have bad eggs taken away,
the dealers sell them to the makers of
this dressing at fair price. Large
quantities of this egg-yolk dressing are
exported TO Europe.

Alloy. of SILVER,

A new alloy of silver with cadmium
and zinc has been introduced in practice
in silver plating in England. This alloy,
although more costly than the ordinary
alloy of silver with copper, is said to
work well and to show greater re-
sistance to abrasion and to be less
readily furnished. It is, however,
cheaper than pure silver, which has
hitherto been alone employed for
electroplating purposes
