The AaxiEnun Depth of the Ocean.

A sounding has recently been
 taken in the Pacific ocean, near
 the coast of Japan, which showed
 depth of 29,400 feet, or approxi-
 mately 5 mics. This is a little,
 more than the height of the loft1est
 mountain. Mount Everest, which
 Is situated in the Himalava range, to the north of India.
 How much deeper the Pacific is than this 1t is impossible to tell; the wire having broken, presumably through its inability to sustain it's own weight Tn Q pr7vious at-. tempt to reach the floor of the ocean a5 this spot, the wire }557r1iks it a depth of 25.500 feet. It has been suggested, as. one theory of the formation Jf mountain ranges. that they represent the orumpling uD, or buckling, of the earth's crust under the severe contractlon- strains that were set up as the sur-r face of the globe solidifed.
 Ifthis be true, the deep ocean valleys or gorges, such as this of the coast of Japan, must be the re- suit of the same action. Taken in with the loftiest noun tain, this sounding gives 8 differ. ence in distance from the earth's center of about twelve miles, or 1883 of the earth's radius.

 But let us look at another sub- .jec'. See yon those Egyptian mos-

 the Mosque of Omar in Jeru- alem
 could be placed in either, and yet
 leave room for ten thousand people
 [" stan3' Look away beyond those and still highe~, and you see on an immense rock whao appear ike :
 two side walls of a gi2antie struct-I
 ure burned out and it's front and rear wall leyeled That area would doubtless contain st least half a | dozen such magnificent structures as the Auditorium in Chicago, and | those walls would tower hundreds | of feet above the outlook of the latterl Turn your eyes now to the northwest! See you that pyramidal work eight miles away down the canyon? It looks small, but it's distance deceives. Yet you could put all the pyramids in Egypt in- side and shake them around A gain face the east and look away down wonder at the Coliseum. That at Rome held 80,00O, and the one at Constantinople 100000, but I doubt not if the segment of this were completed it would hold g. 100000. Do these figures appear large? Come and measure the 1 distances, heights and depths, and you will say have not exaggerated.
 Let me give you another esti- mate of this gorge. You have spoken in the whispering gallery of St. Peter's at Rome. Fire a re- volver here in this chasm and listen to the reverberations! One, two, three, four, and so on till you listen with keen ears and you detect the tenth, some say the thirteenth Again, roll rock down one of the gorges where it will not be in any danger of striking the trail, and you hear echo, echo, echo, echo, each fainter and fainter, till the sound of the last has died away on the ear, and yet the rock has not reached third of the way down to the river! How came it to be- this incomprehensible, indescrib- able gorge, stretching from north east to southwest, over three hun dred miles? Was it by a direct act of the Almighty at the creation? Or was it rent caused by some great cataclysm, when an earth quake tore the globe asunder? Or did the river wear it's way through these strata of rocks, rolling On and on for millions of years?
 While pondering these awfal questions, we will take a walk down "Cameron's Trail" from crest to edge of the river, on whose rock ribbed sides, with sand leveled and on 8 blanket, I will ask you to lie down under the stars and prepare for the ascent in the morning, while the waters below, as they rush over the rocks. croon us to slumber as our mothers luIled us to sleep in their loving arms.

GROWING STEADILY
Is the Demand for Space at the Cot ton States and International
 Exposition.

ATLANTA, Jan. N.-Another foreign ex- bibit and another state exhibit were added othe list of the Cotton States and Inter- national exposition today. Col. J. w. Avery, commissioner of the South Amer can republics, writes from Buenos Ayres that he has arranged with Dr. Hector Veol- soquez, minister of foreign affairs for Par aguay, for an exhibit here. By the same mail President Collier received from w. G. Vincenchellor, commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture for Arkan- sas, a letter saying: "Arkansas will want con siderable space, as we hope to make a full exhibit of the products of our state. Please let us know how soon you will be ready to allot us space and how much. We want good space and plenty of it."
 Applications for space are coming in rapidly from foreign exhibitors. Woolen goods, cotton machinery and other manu factured. articles from England will be represented, and ceramic ware, cutlery and textiles will be here from Austria. In- quiries from Germany indicate good dis play of textiles from that country.
 / Miss Mercur, architect, has received from H. c. Prick, manager of the Carneg ? works, @ contribution of $500 worth of structural steel for the woman's building.

JAPAN HOLDS A STRONG HAND
AND IS MAKING HERSELF FELT IN THl
 SANDWICH ISLANDS.

AND IS MAKING HERSELF FELT IN THE
 SANDWICH ISLANDS,
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-The steamer Australia sailed for Honolulu this morn- ing. Among the passengers was r. N. Hatch, Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs. MT. Hatch bears with him private dispatches, and has in his custody ship ment of arms and ammunition for the government. This consists of 200 rifles and 100 rounds of ammunition. The arms and ammunition are stored where they eau be got at immediately upon the Australia g arrival.
 The Hawaiian government had informa- tion of the plans of the royalisls over a month ago, and Mir. Hatch's mission to the United States was in relation thereto, although at the time oi his arrival he deemed it wise to keep his knowledge a profound secret.
 MT. Hatch stated before leaving that the government had nothing to fear from the royalists, and that the Japanese question was the only one bothering the govern ment of Hawaii.
 ''It cannot be denied,' he said, "that it is a fact that the Japanese merchants are surely absorbing the trade of the islands mercial importance. Already they are driving the Chinese merchants out of busi- ness. It is significant to the United States, for Japanese supremacy means the coming of valuable trade with the islands and the transfer of the same 10 Japan. The com- mercial future of the islands rests with the United States or England. We arc only a ourselves nevertheless if let alone, but if Japan makes demands upon us we can do nothing until the United States or Eng land gives us support.'

WILL ARRIVE SATURDAY..

WASHING TON, Jan. 21..-The sPhiladel- phia is scheduled 10 steam into Honolulu harbor next Saturday morning. Although she IS rated as a twenty-knot ship, she could make that speed only for few hours at time and with such an enormous ex- penditure of coal that her buukers would be exhausted in three days. Her most dI- rect course between the Golden Gate and Honolulu is 20S9 miles and her most eco- nominal steaming rate for this distance, having her coal capacity in mind, Is fifteen knots per hour. Ordinarily she would cruise at q ten or twelve knot rate. She will undoubtedly do the best she can for the distance, which will be by maintaining g fifteen knots hour after hour the whole way over. This will enable her to make 360 knots day, and as fair weather may be confidently expected on the Pacific at this season after passing 100 miles west of Sln Francisco, there is no doubt that the ship, barring accidents, will drop her anchor before noon Saturday at Honolulu.

TIE JOINT COMMITTEE Of the House and Senate of Ala
 bama Ready
TO REPORT THEIR LABOR
On Formulating a New and Equitable System of Tax As-
 seSSment for the State.

MONTGOMERY, Jan. 21. Especial. 1.-The joint committee of six appointed by the legislature to sit during the last ten days of the legislature and formulate a new and equitable system of tax assessment for Ala bama will report when the lawmaking body reconvenes tomorrow the result of their labors in most interesting bill and one almost totally different from the law now in effect. The general plan of the bill is as follows:
 1. The proceeding to collect taxes Is made one against the property and not against the owner-''in rem' and not tin per- sona.''
 2. The valuation of property is taken from the tax payer and put in the hands of appraisers.
 8 There are n cities of over 10, 900 inhabi- tants two men appointed by the city coun- cil, who, with the assessor, shall value all property, and outside of such cities the appraisement is made by the assessor and two citizens of the beat, one appointed by the assessor and the other by the commits sioners' court. The city shall pay it's ap- praisers; the county it's. The assessor shall receive fees only.
 4. The tax year is changed from January to October 1. This gives more time in which to assess and collect, and puts the tax year with the fiscal year.
 
 February l.
 6. The assessment shall be returled to the county board of equalization, com posed (hrst) of man appointed by the governor and paid by the state, (second) by man elected by the commission ers' court and paid by the county, tthird) the assessor, who gets fees.
 2. A small annual franchise tax is laid on corporations.
 8. No execution shall issue on. judg- ment until all taxes are paid. If suit is brought on note on which taxes are uu- paid the plaintiff shall recover no interest nor costs, and no instrument evidencing @ debt on which taxes are due can be given in evidence until all taxes are paid and no power of sale in n mortgage can be enforced until the taxes are paid.
 g. There is small increase in the whisky and brewery licenses.
 10. A license tax is laid on cigarette dealers.
 Il. The bill is non- partisan and provides for representation of different political parties in it's machinery.
 12. A state board of equaliza ton is provided for.
 The bill is voluminous, comprising some forty pages of fooscap. It contains nu- merous other provisions of interest.
 The committee has labored faith fully upon it's preparation for ten days and it IS believed to be almost perfection as far as the needs of the state are concerned. A conservative est innate is that it will in- crease the states revenue about S200, ,000 and will fill up the hole in the treasury in formulated the bill consists of Senators Milner, McElderry and Rogers and Repre- sentatives Kelly, John and Brooks.

Y. Anderson, NJ. A. Porter, B. B. Conner and Rufus N Rhodes.

MT. Sig Steiner, chairman of the com mittee 10 investigate the coDsiitutionality of the proposed 20 per cent special school tax, reported that after thorough investi- gstion the committee had come to the con- clusion that such bill would be unconsti- tutional.
 Mayor VanHoose differed with him, and said that if the thing was tested he believed it would be upheld by the supreme court. He thought some state would have to set such pace, and that Birmingham could do il for Alabama as easily as any other place.
 Mir. Bert Porter then stated that the committee would ask to be discharged and a new one appointed.
 This was then discussed by Capt. John M. Martin, who thought it constitutionsl.
 Acting President Steiner then appointed the following committee: Capt. John NJ. Martin, A. T. London, J. A. VanHoose, Samuel Uilman and W. H. Wade.
 The cIub then adiourned
