AN INTERNATIONAL CONFER
ENCE.

Senator Walcott's amendment to the
sundry civil service bill, proposing to es-
tablsh permanent commission to re-
present the United States at all monetary
conferences to which the United States
may be invited by European nations,
is directly in the trend of events that are
casting their shadows before them.
Every indication points to q sentiment
rapidly obtaining in the most intelligent
classes of Europe that silver must be
sustained in the currency of the world
of commerce and that this can only
be successfully accomplished by interna-
tional agreement. Too many nations are
interested in silver and it is too valuable
metal to permit it to lapse into insight
canoe. Another fact is also becoming
no one country can afford to take upon
itself all the cost that it would involve
in forcing q shifting commodity to the
par value of gold upon the commerce OF
the world. 1t is becoming an obvious
fact that such an attempt would bank
rupt any nation in the world. These two
facts taken together have developed the
growing sentiment in Europe that the
only way of carrying silver as coil
currency equal in its debt paying ca
pacity with gold, would be for the ma
tons interested, especially Germany, In
dia and Great Britain, to agree upol
some basis of coinage that would ranl
silver coin as A in all the markets o
trade of the habitable globe. Senate
Walcott's amendment is timely and vii
fit into events that are rapidly shapin
themselves towards this desirable end.

The Northern papers are INVITING the
South because the Georgia legislature re-
fused to elect woman state librarian.
Legislatures in the South some times in
their corporate capacity treat ladies with
less chivalry than the South is noted for
towards the sex, but just as soon as
each member is relegated to his indivi-
dual capacity, he becomes the champion
of any woman needing his services. We
are not all knights of Old' in the
South, especially when we get to be poll
ticians There is prejudice in the
South against women filling elective
offices. 1t is said to spring from that
higher regard for the sacredness that
we throw around our women, but it may
be merely a remnant of old fogyism OIL
our indisposition to take up new ideas
In all the departments of business il
VIII oh q woman can engage with a prop
er regard to her dignity as woman, anC
the reserve that becomes her, she is en-
couraged to the utmost by all Southern
men. 1t is only in political matters that
the line is drawn.

The reunions of the blue and the

hans no one has contributed more to
this happy commingling of once hostile

peace and teaching good will and com
radeship among the soldiers that fought
so CALAMITY on either side during thu
unfortunate strife between the Nortf

consoled by the fact that the old soldiers
have signed a compact of perfect peace

1t is said that not square yard OF
Holland is permitt6d'to- be idle, but that
all of it is farmed up to its highest pro-
ductive capacity. Suppose Texas was
farmed in that way. 1t would pro1Hnsee
enough to feed and clothe the whole
world. What magnificent development
is before us, and it becomes our duty to
inaugurate and push that development
to its highest capacity. We are not here
merely to work for ourselves, but we owe
il to posterity that they shall find we
have done our whole duty and left the
richest material wealth to them. Every
generation ought to be ambitious to i'm
prove the natural advantages given them
and leave n better legacy than 1t re

General Carr was born in Albany, Au,
gust, 1928. His parents came from
Ireland and settled in this country
in 1924. He attended the public schools,
was apprenticed for while to tObaccOn-
list, became a member of the state militia
in 1919 and was elected colonel of regi-
ment July, 1859. When the civil war
broke out two years later he was ap.
pointed successfully lieutenant colonel
and the colonel of the Second New York
volunteers and was promoted brigadier
general of the volunteers for gallant and
meritorious services. He fought with
conspicuous bravery at BristOws station
and Chantilly at the battle of Fredericks-
burg.
At Chancelorville, May 3, 1868, he as
sumed command of the division after
General Berry's fall. AT Gettysburg he
refused to leave the field, but stood by the
small remnant of his-+roops after his
horse had been killed under him and he
himself had been injured by the fall. On
Oct. 4, 1868, he was given command Of
the Third division of the Fourth corps.
later he was assigned to the Fourth divi-
sion of the Twentieth corps and finally
to the First corps with charge of the de-
lenses of the James river. He was bre-
vetted major general on June l, 1865, and
mustered out of the service August "A.
Settling in Troy afterwards ne started
the firm of j. B. Carr & Co., to engage in
the manufacture of chains. Since then
he has found time to identify himself
prominently in politics. He was elected
secretary of state in 1875, reelected in
1881 and again in 1888 In 1885 he re-
ceived the Republican nomination for
lieutenant governor, but was defeated.
In 1868 the legislature of New York made
him a member of the Gettysburg monu-
ment commission. He was at one time
major general in command of the Third
division S. n. G.. When the division was
abolished and brigades substituted he re-
tired from active service.

DISABLED STEAMER IN TOW.

Queenstown, Feb 24-The British
steamer Assaye, Captain Caruthers, from
New Orleans, Feb. 3, for Liverpool, has
arrived here having in tow the German
bark, Freya, which was disabled. The
Freya sailed from Punta Arenas, the
channel ports, on Feb. 4. The Assaye
landed her and the crew of the American
schooner, John C. Sweeney, Captain
Edwards, from Charleston, Feb. 4, for
Alexandria, Va, which was abandoned
on Feb. s. The schooner sprung a leak
some time before her crew left her, and
took water so fast that it gained on the
pumps. She was scuttled before she was
abandoned.

AKIN TO THE SEA SERPENT.

coming At the same time, it must be con-
sidered that the dredges employed by the
Challenger, the Albatross, and other ex-
ploring ships have not been adapted for cal-
turing and bringing to the surface very
large forms.
II fs to be regretted that the dredges
have brought up no animals so interesting
or peculiar as the ornithorhynchus. the
three-toed horse. or the fossil reptile-like
bird called the "archeaopteryx." There Is
a remarkable family of jelly fishes in the
depths, which have curious sucking cups
at the ends of their tentacles. Probably
these are used for the purpose of locomo-
tion the animal walking over the bottom
as on stilts. The dredges referred to are
nets ipclosed in wooden frames for dragging
over the bottom. To the net a number of
great tails of raveled rope are attached.
While the net catches fishes and other
creatures, the rope-tails enLangle star fish,
es, sea-urc hins, crabs. sponges ,etc. After
all, only beginning has been made in the
exploration of the depths-a branch of
science which is termed "thaiassagra ply"
Nothing whatever is known as to how the
abyssaI creatures deposit their eggs or how
he young develop.
It is believed that the deep sea creatures
have all reach he'd the depths by, gradual mi
grafton from the shallow waters, acquiring
through generations spongy skeletons and
other characteristics necessary to enable
them to resist the pressure. In the struggle
for existence among marine animals the
last resort of those unable to compete
would be retreat toward the floor of the
ocean. 1t goes without saying that the
dwellers of the depths would soon be exter-
minated if they depended entirely upon
each other for food. AS matter of fact,
the primary food supply at the bottom
comes from the surface, being composed of
dead foraminifeTa, crusraceans, and other
animals. On these sea urchins and other
low forms feed. The fishes devour each
other and the crustaoea.
Numerous as are the dwellers on the Pa
cifo floor, the population is certainly very
much less dense than in shallow-w aters.
Absence cf light and the enormous pres
sure are not SO favorable for the support OF
life. and the abysnal fauna becomes poorer
the further it is from land. In Imagination

1t IS not believed that ray of sunlight
penetrates to depth of 500 fathoms in the
ocean. Very sensitive Photographic plates
have oeen exposed al depth of quarter
of mile below the surface, and have
shown no reaction. However, the floor of
the sea is Illuminated to a considera BILE OK
tent oy phosphorescent animals. In some
regions it may be imagined to be as bright
ly Illuminated as San Francisco street at
night-an illumination with many bright
lights ard many dark shadows. However.
the total blindness of numerous deep sea
creatures may signify that this illumina-
tion is not universally distributed, and
that there may be some regions in which the
darkness is SO absolute that it can only
be compared with the darkness OF the great
caves.
The light giving organs of fishes seem to
De developed from slime glands. The slime
secreted by the skin of certain pelagic
sharks is highly phosphoresoent. Some of
the finny creatures of the depths have reg
ular bulls eye lanterns along their sides.
One recently discovered species has such
lanterns provided with actual lenses and a
system of nerves which seem to indicate
that the animal is able to turn its lights on
or off at pleasure. This would be an i'm
portant aid in escaping from an enemy
Other fishes have luminous spots on their
heads. There is a deep-sea relative of the
shallow-water "aLgler fish, which carries
light like an electric bulb suspended over
it's mouth from an elongated ray of its back
fin. apparently it is bait to attract prey.
For this purpose the shallow-water angler
has an appendage resembling red worm
similarly PLACED. This would seem to be
most interesting modification inasmuch as
the counterfeit worm could not be seen in
the dark.
Certain deep-sea sharks have the whole
body phosphoreso ent. Some abyssal crabs
pour out from the bases of their feelers
clouds Of pale blue and highly luminous
substance, actually making the water itself
luminous. Many of the sea-urchins and
other echinoderms are pkosphorescenr.
One of them is SO brilliant that it has been
named the "sea glory" A kind Of star-fish
gives light that is brilliant green. corus-
eating from the center, now along one arm,
