Singular Instances of Miraculous Recovery

According TO Naidy. the French army
cautioned in Bavaria. after the battle
of Austerlitz. had only one hundred
sick in a division of eight thousand
men. being little more than one in the
hundred. When. on the other hand,
an army is subject to privations or is

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
No Trace OF wreckage In the Deepest of
the Oceans Depth.

the oceans Dep.h.
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 deepest part of the
oceans floor. OF all the vessels lost in
inid-ocean; of all the human beings
that have been drowned; of all tho
marine animals that have persisted; of
all the clay sand and gravel let fall by
dissolving icebergs; of all the va
rious substances drifted from every
shore by shifting currents, no trace
remains, but in their place water from
one thousand TO twenty-five hundred
fathoms in depth covers the uniform
deposit of thick, blush, tenacious
slime ca led globigerina ooze, says the
Cosmopolitan Magazine.
A bit of this under a powerful lens
is declared to be revelation of beauty
not readily forgotten. The Ooze is
composed almost entirely of the dam
test, most delicately beautiful shells
imaginable At depths greater than
twenty-five hundred fathoms the bot
tom of the sea consists mainly of prod
net 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 red clay deposits that are considered
characteristic of the profoundest
depths of the ocean. Carbonate of
lime, which in the form of shells of
foraminifera makes up so large part
If the globigerina ooze, is here almost
entirely absent.
Soda water is very nearly universal
solvent, and before any shell, large or
small, reaches the bottom of these ire
nendous abysms it is chemically eaten
up, literally dissolved-a result which
he enormous pressure of the water
must materially hasten.
At one thousand fatho.ns the weight
If the water pressure on all sides of
an object immersed to that depth Is
very nearly one ton to the square inch,
Or more than one hundred times that
sustained at the sea level. and at the
greatest depth the pressure is SO in
creased that it would seem nothing
could withstand it; in fact, heavy
metal cylinders let down with the
sounding apparatus are sometimes. on
being drawn up again to the surface,
found bent and collapsed; strongly
made glass vessels which the metal in
closed are shattered into fragments.
