pepth Of The ocean.

A dispatch from Victoria, b. c., says
the United States steamer Albatross
reports having made deep-sea soundings
off the coast of Alaska, reaching
depth of 4, 500 fathoms, which, it is
added, is 'tthe greatest depth ever
reached" II by that's meant the deep
est soundings ever made in any ocean
there must be a mistake in the figures
reported, or the claim is not correct.
The depth of 27.oOO feet has been ex-
ceeded three times. In what is called
the international deep" near the ISL
and of st. Thomas, one of the West In
dies, independent soundings We're made
by American and English officers, and
a depth of q, 800 feet established. In
1874 the British ship Challenger found
depth of %, $50 feet near the Ladrone
Islands, in the Pacific ocean, and in the
same year the United States ship Tus-
carora, under command of Captain
George Z. Bellfnap, sounded to the
depth of 1880 feet near the kurile
Islands, in the North Pacific. This is
the lowest point yet reached, being
over FIVE and one-fourth miles, or nearly
equal 70 the height o. the Himaiayas.
In the days before scientific deep-sea
soundings there were reports of depths
| of 1000 TO 5000 fathoms having been
reached, but these are conceded to have
been apocryphal The Tuscarosa's re
cord of 4 Sol fathoms stands without

There are many causes for variation
in the fodder made by growing corn,
some of them pertaining to the way it
is grown, and others to the skill, or
want of skill. shown in curing it. Corn
that is grown so thiellly that its stalks
are thin and white is as nearly worth
less as such feed can be grown II has
little sweetness and not enough nutri-
ton to keep anything in good condi-
ton. For fodder alone corn must be
be grown so thinly that nearly every
stalk will have nubbin on it.
The stalks from field corn that has
borne a crop of ears have more nutri-
ton than the average of corn thicl1ly
sown grown for fodder alone. Sweet
eoru stalks are better than those of the
ordinary field variety. This may in
part be owing to the fact that roasting
ears are picked early, and as the leaves
continue to gather more sweetness il
goes into the stalk after the green ears
have been removed. Plncking green
ears from ordinary field Q I'm makes
the stalks richer, and such stalks are
always preferred by cows when fed
with others where the ears had been
removed after being fully ripened -
