Schools of fresh mackerel, extending
to the northward and southwark as far as
the eye could reach, and followed by hun
dreds of fin-back whales, were sighted by
the schooner Maggie Abbott, which arriv-

The trial of the Marquis of Queens
berry for slander of the sunhower es-
thete. Oscar Wilde, came to sudden
termination yesterday. The marquis
admitted using the language he was
charged with, but asserted the state
ments he had made that Wilde was
guilty of unnatural crimes was true.
His counsel yesterday offered to put
witnesses on the stand to prove that the
assertions the marquis had made were
nothing but the truth, when Oscar,
fearing the result of their testimony
withdrew his charges and virtually con-
fessed that the statements were true.
And this is the same poetaster our
American niceties went "Wilde" over a
few years ago.

DEPTH OF THE OCEAN.

In view of the fact that the depth of
the ocean has never been fathomed, it is
impossible to tell if piece of solid iron
will 90 to the bottom. Close to the east
coast of Japan the current flows through
q marine valley, which, in 1875, was
sounded from the United States steamer
Tuscarora to depth of 514 miles. The
heavy sounding weight took more than
an hour to sink to the bottom. A trial
was made of chasm still deeper where
the lead did not fetch up bottom, and
this is said to be the only ocean depth
that remains unfathomed. AS to how
far solid piece of iron will sink depends
upon the size of the piece and upon the
density of the water. Scientists assert
that at depth of 5000 feet in the ocean
the water is so dense that each square
inch will support a weight of 2,648
pounds San Francisco Call.
It is astonishing that paper of the
standing of the Call would be guilty of
such ignorance. Its writer fails to rec
ognize the difference between hydro
states and solidity or density. Water
is practically incompressible, hence even
at the bottom of the ocean cubic inch
of water would weigh but little more
than the cubic inch at the surface, and
hence would be displaced as easily by a
ball of lead as if at the surface. The
hydrostatic pressure is caused by the
fact that the square inch at the
bottom has the weight of all the cubic
inches between it and the surface on top
of it, and instead of being one cubic
inch, as far as its pressure goes, has the
weight of an inch square as many inches
high as the water is deep above it. IT.
as the Call asserts, one square inch Of
water will support a weight of 2,64e
pounds at the depth of 5000 feet, on ac-
count of its density, then no object could
possibly be found heavy enough to sink
to that depth. The hydrostatic pressure
is practically forty-two pounds to each
100 feet, the density of the water but
little greater, even at the greatest
depths. +.

There seems to be a fatality hanging
over the editorial force of the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer. Mr.. Heilbron, the
editor, died OF apoplexy yesterday. His
predecessor, Mr.. Grant, took passage
short time ago on the ill-fated
ship, Ivanhoe, which was never heard
of after she left port. Col. Haines, an
other editor, and a man of magnificent
physique, was taken suddenly i'll three
years ago, and in a week was a corpse.
Three editors in three years, all strong
and apparently healthy men, with the
promise of long life, is literally croYding
the mourners. Mr.. Heilbron's life was
insured for $147 900.

other pills. Hence, their great popularity
with sufferers from habitua1 constipation,
piles and their attendant discomfort and
manifold arrangements. The Pellets -
are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless
in any condition of the system. No care is
required while using them; they do not
interfere with the diet, habits or occupa-
ton, and produce no pain, gripping or shock
to the system. They act in a mild, easy and
natural way and there is no reaction after
ward. Their help lasts.
The Pellets cure bi1iousness sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy be1chings, heartburn, pain and
distress after eating, and kindred derange-
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
In proof of their superior excellence, it can
be truthfu11y said, that they are always
adopted as household remedy after the
first trial. Put up in sealed, glass vials,
therefore always fresh and reliable. One

There was no low, groggy appearance
about the True Blue Athletic edifice.
II was brilliantly lit from basement
to attic. 4 group of men, with hands
in pockets, stood on the curb as if
waiting for something. There was an
air Of occasion about the place. The

The possibility of not getting in had
never occurred to the old gentleman,
and the thought that his son, safe
within the sacred precincts of club,
might defy him, logged his tagging
anger and aroused his logged deter
mination.
"I'Il try, at least" he said, going up
the stone steps.
The men watched him with smile
on their lips. They saw him push the
electric button, whereupon the door
opened slightly. There was brief
unheard parley; then the door swung
wide open, and, when Mr. Saunders
entered it shut again.
'Well, I'm blestl" said the man on
