sAWAs SEA SERPENT.
Atlantic City Life Savers Discover
the Monster Near the Shore.
From the Philadelphia Press.


From the Philadelphia Press.
Atlantic City. March 22.-That lusus
naturae, a sea serpent.a sight of which is
50 seldom accorded human eyes, and then
usually under circumstances that envelop
its existence in a cloud of mystery, is re
ported on the authority Of five of the
crew Of the lower Absecon government
life saving station to have been OBJ
served dispOrting in the ocean this morn
ing about fifty feet from the shore,
According to the story as related by
Capt. Gaskil, who has charge Of the
crew. the monster was first seen about
1880 o'clock this morning by two young
men who were walking along the beach
short distance below the station.
Scared al the frightful looking object
which was wriggliug its way landward,
they ran back to the station and first in
formed Surfman Nicholas Jedries. The
latter was oiued by Surfman Robinson,
Young and Loler and procuring guns,
they Wee guided 10 the place where the
monster WGs seen.
Sure enough the marine reptile in all
its hideousness was plainly visible and
had come within fifty feet OF the beach

water and exposed about twenty feet
Of its scaly body, which was OF a Shiny,
greenish hue, A further description
made its eyes about as large as 4 silver
collar and a reddish color.
Taking careful sight the several surf
men discharged their guns in the hope
that they could capture it. While they
deny that their shot was heard
to rattle against the monsters hide, they
aver that the leaden pellets apparently
had no effect whatever. After flashing
itself about in the surf for q few minutes
the serpent set it face seward and
swiftly passed out of view.
1t was at least foot in diameter in the
thickest part of its exposed body, and
they estimated that it was at least fifty
feet in length Owing 10 the fact that
the story is vouched for by Capt Gas
kill ana his crew as being true, people
here are in quandry whether to give it
credance or not.
The only other instance of a sea serpent
being seen along this coast on record was
the one which appeared in the Brigantine
shoals in 1879, but it was not supported
by such authority as the account of the
one observed to-day.

UNDERGROUND AvALANcHEs.
Evidences of Subterranean COnvulsions Among the Mountains of Pennsylvania.

Among the Mountains of Pennsylvania.
 The curious phenomenon formerly exciting the wonder of people living in the vicinity of Thick Head and Sand mountains, south of Tusseyville, Gen. ter county, Pa., which has not been noticed for five years, has made it's pres ence known again. For twelve years, at irregular intervals, the dwellerS in that part of Center county had been dis turbed by loud and mysterious noises which came from the ground between the two mountains named. In the spring of 1888 these noises were heard daily, with increased volume, for week. The noises, according to the Chicago Herald, were sometimes like the rumble of distant thunder and then like the deadened crash of thunder heard in the air close by. On the sev- enth day of this protracted disturbance beneath these two mountains @ resi- dent of Tusseyville was climbing Thick Head mountain, when the rumbling began in the mountain op- posite. At first it was deep and low, and 1t increased in violence until it be- came as the tumult of a mass of rock rolling down a mountain side. The person who heard the sounds said that they convinced him that they were caused by subterranean avalanche, as it began at the very top of the mountain, increasing in violence and speed as it went down, and terminal ing Tn terrible crash at the bottom.
 hot do bo iO1Z ceased, and were not heard again until a week ago, when they began just as they had terminated in a similar sub terranean land or rock slide, except that this time the hidden avalanche Oc- cured somewhere in the depth of Thick Head mountain, instead of in Sand mountain. In Potter county, Pa., between Roulette and Burtville, is a hill in which rumblings of the same nature are heard at irregular inter- vals. This elevation is called Thunder hill, and it rises from the south bank of the Allegheny river. The noises that occur in this hill sometimes make the earth tremble for long distance around, and they have been heard for mile away. The theory of local say ants is that a strong vein of natural gas underlies the hill, and that when the great retort is disturbed by some un- derground convulsion it rises in it's might and tumbles rocks and things around in the confines of the hill until everything huns. Still no one has con- fidence enough in this theory to hand out the money that is being asked for to send drill down into the alleged gas cauldron, let out it's treasure and make everybody in that bailiwick rich.

CANNOT BE CHRISTIANS.

The Plan of Salvation Is Beyond the Com
 prehension of Indians.
 The Victoria Colonist representative at Vancouver, B. C., had an interest ing conversation few days since with R. J. Skinner, government timber agent, in reference to the Haida h. dians and the coast Indians in gen. eral. MT. Skinner said: "Although I have the greatest respect for mission aries among the Indians, no matter what their denomination, and while I have not the least doubt that most of them are very earnest men, I am sorry to say that the reports that they send to the outside world are rather too highly colored.
 ''I have been resident among the Indians for twenty-five years and have talked with hundreds of the natives on the Queen Charlotte islands and other places on the coast. It was always the rule, while all the tribes acknowledged a Supreme Being, that those who had not met the missionaries knew nothing of spiritual life, prayer, purgatory or the atonement for sins, but those who had come in contact with the mis- sionaries solemnly aver that their re- ligion had always been similar to the Christian religion. It is very, very difficult to convert the Siwash for these reasons. They cannot tell the truth as we define it. If asked direct question they will answer as they think would please you, and not neces- sarily according to the facts of the case.
 Again, it is foreign to the nature of the coast Indian to believe in any such thing as vicarious punishment. The suffering of Christ upon the cross in atonement for our sins is simply be- yond their comprehension, although, of course, in a superficial way they will smilingly acquiesce in anything. There is little doubt that the mission aries are doing a grand work in ele- vating the morals of the red men, but this talk about white people taking an example from Indians in morality is not justified"

MAKE-BELIEVE APPRECIATION.
The Kind Generally Given to Classical
 Music-Vanity the Prime Mover.

The Kind Generally Given to Classical Music-Vanity the Prime Mover.
 ''I am tired of hearing people rave over classical music,n said James H. Fuller to Globe-Dcmocrat man. Ut is certainly queer, but in classical mu- sic you have actually something that is existing upon nothing more nor less than the vanity of human nature. You can say what you will. vanity is the name for it and nothing else. People have an innate desire to make believe. They want to appear what they are not. Everybody does If people can not do anything else they put on a black coat and look wise, which places them in male-believe position and sat isfies or keeps their vanity from being wounded. No one will admit that he does not desire to enjoy classical music. Everybody desires to. They have heard critics, who do not enjoy the classical rot poured upon the world any more than the commonest laborer, say that beautiful songs are mere ballads and not music. The critics have told them that series of thumps and wild piano beatings make up classical music, and that if they study long time and have any music in them they will under stand and enjoy it. Then when a re- puted musician comes who is well ad- vertised, the social world, filled with vanity and the desire for appearances, rushes forward, fills great music halls and makes believe that such music is grand and enjoyable. They hear a sweet strain in the great musicians playing, they begin to think that it is pretty, when all at once it is broken off by series of wild rot that is no more musical than cracked dOOrben. They credit the latter with being clas- sical, and applaud it because some one else applauds it. They don't enjoy it. Classical music never paid and never will. Grand opera and choral sym phonies have never paid and never will. People do not want it. Their ears have been trained by grander voice than that of man-nature. Classical music doesn't recall the signing voice of the wind nor the ripple of the brook. It doesn't repeat the moan of pain we have all heard, nor the music of laugh. You can't string out such voices through long half hour of humping. Let the make believers and praise seekers open their ears and they will hear in the simple ballads of any nation more of real soul-inspiring music than exists at present in the hun dreds of volumes of classical so-called music for which they pay"

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
No Trace of Wreclzage in the Deepest 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 deepest part of the oceans floor. Of all the vessels lost in mid-ocean; of all the human beings that have been drowned; of all the marine animals that have perished; 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, bluish. tenacious slime called globigerina ooze, says the Cosmopolitan Magazine.
 A bit of this under a powerful lens is declared to be a revelation of beauty not readily forgotten. The ooze is composed almost entirely of the dain- tiest, most delicately beautiful shells imaginable. At depths greater than twenty-five hundred fathoms the bot tom of the sea consists mainly of prod uct 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 of the globigerina ooze, is here almost entirely absent.
 Soda water is very nearly a universal solvent, and before any shell, large or small, reaches the bottom of these tre- mendous abysms it is chemically eaten up, literally dissolved-a result which the enormous pressure of the water must materially hasten.
 At one thousand fathoms the weight of 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.
