Down the Valley.

Here, between the fir-covered sides
of the parallel ranges of mountains,
is a valley half a mile wide and ten
miles long, it's upper end beginning
far up in the grim hills. 1t winds
about like a river, and here and
there it is crossed by creek, which
seems thread of silver trailing
along the green grass.
A carpet of green and flowers,
here and there a grove, birds flying
up and down, warm and gentle
sun pouring down from out of a
clear sky. As we look down upon
this valley we are reminded of par
adise. Never a scene on earth more
peaceful. One swinging in ham
mock under one of these green
trees beside the brook would find
himself as near to the peace and
quietpess of heaven as any place on
earth affords.
There is herd of buffalo grazing
afar mp the valley. There are deer
in the groves. Three or four wild
horses are standing in the brook,
while others are lying on the grass
a few yards away. Hares scamper
to and,fro in a playful mood, and

a position for reading the register.
When the sinker is let 60, the ves-

wire vertical, and the friction line
is adjusted so as to allow il to de-
scend from seventy to one hundred
fathoms per minute. The instant

Enthusiastically indicated by the sud
den release Of the wire from strain,
the reel is stopped by the friction

the number of turns of the reel.
In an hour this messenger of
mans ingenuity makes its excursion
through five miles of watery waste,
to the abysmal regions of perfect
repose and brings to the light of

rain Of shells of minute infusorial
organisms from the upper waters
has been for ages mantling the
oceans floor, Here and there a
giant peak rising from these sunless
depths, lifts his head to see the sky,

that all along his ragged sides, and
on the hills and plains below, and
even in the inky blackness and the
freezing cold of the deepest valleys,
there is life.-Popular Science

How the Sea is Sounded.

A ship regularly engaged in deep
sea sounding, usually has the sound
ing machine mounted at the after
end, and when about to sound, is
brought to standstill with the
stern to the sea. The stray line
with the sounding rod and the sink
err attached, is over the guide pully
and carefully lowered to the waters
edge, the register is set to zero, and
the deep sea thermometer is clamp
ed to the sounding line; a seaman
is stationed at the friction line
which controls the velocity with
which the wire is unreeled, another
at the brake, and third on the
grating outside to handle the
sinker ard the instruments, and to
guide the wire as it passes over
