Cod Liver Oil.

1t aims to cure Consumption,

most ehectually breaks Colds,

1t is natural logic to conclude
that if WAMPOLE's PREPARATION
OF Con Liver On has power
to prevent Consumption, it sure
w is allie to cure these lesser
emergencies.
This vigor-making, fat pro-
ducing preparation is Absolute
ly Tasteless, in so far as Cod

you notice is a delightful flavor
of Wild Cherry and Anise.
But the purest Norwegian
Cod Liver Oil is there all the
same. 1t is a great blood en-
richer. Best of all it is a natu-
raj food that in its stomachic
effects, actually assists its own
assimilation.
In Pulmonary or Bronchia
troubles it is unequalled. Nc
one doubts the value of Cod
Liver Oil, but not every one is
able to take it.

HEAT UNDER THE GROUND.
High Temperature That No Theory
Has Yet Explained.

A recent telegram from Webb City,
Mo-, says that a phenomenon which
has puzzled old miners and baflled
scientists exists in the zinc mine of
Blanton e. Wyatt, on Prairie Knoll,
near that city. The lot is 200 by 200
feet, the usual size of mining lots.
Blanton & Wyatt sank shaft to the
depth of l64 feet, in which nothing
unusual was found, but in driving a
draft to the southwest hot ground
was encountered twenty feet from the
shaft while cutting on heavy body
of zinc. and the farther the draft was
run the hotter became the condition,
until the miners had to suspend work.
A drill-hole in the head Of the draft
was then put down, and hot air began
coming up the hole. When it was
down but seventy feet it was connected
to the draft, but even an eight-inch
casting would not permit of the escape
OF the heat sufficiently to permit work
ing the ground, and work was again
suspended in that shaft. The iron

THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
No Trace Of Wreckage In the Dec p.
est of the Oceans Depth.

An extraordinary circumstance that
has been noticed with interest and
that always creates surprise when
first learned, is the entire absence OF
foreign matter in the deeper part of
the oceans floor. of all the vessels
lost in midocean, of all the human bs-
ings that have been drowned, OF all
the marine animals that have per-
ished, of all the clay, sand and gravel
let fall by dissolving icebergs, of all
the various substances drifted from
every shore by shifting currcnts-not
a trace remains, but in their place
water from 1000 to $500 fathoms in
depth covers the uniform deposit Of
thick, blush, tenacious slime, called
globigerins ooze. A bit of this under
a powerful lens is declared by the
Cosmopolitan to be revelation Of
beauty not readily forgotten. The
ooze is composed almost entirely OF
the daintiest, most delicately beautiful
shells imaginable. At depths greater
than 1900 fathoms the bottom Of the
sea consists mainly OF products arising
from exposure, for almost incalculable
periods, to the chemical action of sea
water, of pumice and other volcanic
matters. This finally results in the
formation of the red clay deposits that
are considered characteristic OF the
prefOundest depths Of the ocean. Car.
Donate OF lime, which in the form Of
shells of forsminifera, makes up so
large q part Of the globigerina oo1e. i-

1000 fathoms the weight OF the water
pressing on all sides Of an object inn
mersed to that depth is very nearly

than one hundred times that sustained

casting in the drill-hole is hot enough

casting in the drill-hole is hot enough
any time to burn the bare hands.
A very remarkable feature attending
this phenomenon is that while this
shaft was originally no different from
any of the numerous shafts surround
ing it, each draft that has been cut
from this shaft ran into hot ground,
the first at seventy-two feet from the
surface encouatering the heat thirty
nine feet from the shalt. In cutting
the various drifts that encountered
this phenomenal heat, very rich ore
was penetrated. A new shaft was
sunk one hundred feet south of the
old one and the same surface forma-
ton was found as in the old one. At
fifty-three feet drift was run south
east, striking good lead ore. The
shaft was sunk sixty-five feet, but there
was not any indication of the mys-
terious heat. The sinking of the
shaft was continued to the depth OF 80
feet, when the hot conditions were
found to exist. At this depth two
drifts are being cut, one east and the
other west, in good ore. The head of
the drift east is but fifteen feet from
the shaft and exhibits the ordinary
temperature. The opposite condition
exists in the west drift, which increases
in heat the farther it is cut.
This last one is now twenty feet and
it is impossible for the men to work
longer at u time than they can hold
their breath. They retire to where the
surface air is discharged from q nine
inch pipe forced down the shaft by
blower.
The peculiar condition seems to be
confined to this one lot, 2U0 feet
square, as there are numerous shafts
to the same depth in close proximity
to this on the west, but no heat has
been encountered in any of them.
Various theories explanatory OF the
peculiar condition have been given
but they are all vague and uncertain.
One solution offered is that it is
caused by the decomposition of the
pyrites of iron. This might he ample
if it were explained satisfactorily what
caused the decomposition on that
peculiar lot and no other.

Yes, know you would have advised

The Earth Was Too Hot Else.

Cold.

Cold.
Catholic World.
AS matter of fact this earth of
ours has long passed its youth. 1t is
now verging on old age, and, with its
poles covered with everlasting ice, it
may be likened to body whose ex-
tremities are bleached and paralyzed
with years. Even in the geological
period which Immediately preceded
our own, and which is known as the
pOstpliocene, or quarternary, great
changes took place, and man has been
witness to them. The rivers of to-
day are mere brooks compared to what
they were then, and in North America
we can trace the shore lines of i'm
mense quarternary lakes which no
longer exist. But while this fact may
interest and perhaps surprise us lit
tie, it does not attack our credulity SO
much as when we are told that once,
instead OF snow and ice, a luxuriant
vegetation fourished not far from the
poles. Indeed, the French naturalist,
Button, believed that on our planet,
which was slowly cooled and consoli-
dated, life began at the poles; and
that from thence it spread in the di-
rection of the tropics, where at first
heat was too intense to admit OF any
kind of life. But it is only within re-
cent years that we have been able to
get glimpse OF the ancient arctic
zone, which is much more accessible
than the antarctic, and what has thus
far been brought to light makes Buf-
fon's daring conjecture appear not so
very improbable.
In Spitzbergen and Greenland, in
Alaska along the banks of the Mac
kenzie river, even in Grinnell Land,
between so and SO deg. north latitude
the farthest point yet reached
fossil plants have been found belong
ing to the carboniierous, jurassic, cre-
taceous and tertiary periods, and these
plants have been described by Prof.
Oswald Heer of Zurich in his adnlira-
BILE work" Flora Fossils Artica."
The fossils sequoias of Grinnell Land
bear an unmistakable resemblance to
the living sequoias of California, while
the fossil laurel-Laurus primogenia
of ancient Greenland is said to be
the direct ancestor of the present
laurel. The cold which overwhelmed
the ancient polar regions is not ar
rested in its progress; the cause which
first brought it on is still at work.
Our sun is becoming more and more
condensed, and by and by it will no
longer find in the contraction of its
diameter source sufficient to keep up
its energy, and with the extinction of
the sun our earth must perish. The
approach OF this deadly world chill is
infinitely slow-so slow that history
takes no note OF it; but in time the
now crowded, busy portions of the
earth must meet the fate OF Green
land and Spitzbergen. This day is
still buried in the distant future; but,
far off as it is, the lesson of the past
tells that it is coming.

A story has come out about an in

rate is amusing.
When he called, the President asked
him about Frank McCoppin, who

Mcguire said, frankly: Perhaps
you should not ask me, for / am not
friendly with him."
"For personal or political reasons?"
Mcguire said he did not like McCop-
pins kind of Democrats and referred
to some incident of the sandlot days,
and added: "When he ran for Con-
gress I felt called upon to oppose him
and support an independent candi.
date"
ais he competent and honest?"
asked Cleveland.
"Oh yes, he is first-rate man, but
I do not like his ideas on many
things"
"That is the way some people feel
about me-" Cleveland is reported to
have said, and the interview terminal
ed with fall in the temperature that
nearly set the furnaoeman of the
White House crazy.
Congressman Ryan had another
unpleasant experience. He spoke Of
a candidate from his State who had all
the necessary qualifications, and add
ed: at may please you to know, Mr..
President, that he is a distant relative
of yours"
"Then he will not get the place" "
said the President, with unusual
sternness. "That bars him out en-.
tirely. This administration will see
neither close nor distant relatives OF
mine in Office"
Then the President very sharply
criticised the action of q Senator (sup.
posed to be Jones of Arkansas) for
putting his son in as clerk of his COM
mittee, and said the public service
demanded efficiency and not consan-
guinity.

CHARACTERISTIC OF CLEVELAND
Rsis Positive Views on Important
Political Subjects.
New York Press.

A Democratic Senator, who is
chairman of a committee, and whose
son has been made the clerk of that
committee, called at the White House
yesterday to recommend to the Presi-
dent a federal appointment in his
State of considerable importance.
The President replied in effect:
1 wish to tell you frankly that 1 do
not feel like accepting, in the matter
OF any important appointment like
this. the advice Of Senator who has
appointed his own son to be the clerk
Of his committee. l am informed that
in quite number Of instances the
new chairmen of Senate committees
have appointed young men as clerks,
not because of their experience, not
because OF their acquaintance with the
subject upon which these committees
must work, hut solely because these
young men are their sons. They have
not been selected because of their fit
ness, or even because of their past
services to the Democratic party, but
simply with view to keep their
salaries in the family. / cannot but
regard this as nepotism in its worst
sense.
Moreover, the last Congress provided
a clerk for every member of the House,
whether or not the member is the
chairman of committee. That means
the coming appointment of over 300
new clerks, and dare say that large
majority of them will be sons, or other
relatives, of members, selected merely
because of their kinship. Democratic
members of Congress ought not to
yield to this temptation. without
meaning to be offensive l wish to have
it understood that shall not accept
as conclusive in the matter of appoint
ments the recommendations of Sena-
tors who have appointed their own
sons to office merely because they are
their sons.
These remarks of the President
were received in humble silence by
the Senator to whom they were ad-
dressed, and he went away crestfallen,
but without making reply. Mr..
Cleveland's words may seem somewhat
strange in view of the fact that his
Secretary of the Treasury, undoubtedly
with his approval, has made his own
son, Logan Carlisle, Chief Clerk of
that department,
