Depth of the Ocean.

A dispatch from Victoria, British
Columbia, says the United States
teamer Albatross reports having made
leep-sea soundings off the coast Of
Alaska, reaching depth OF 450o
athoms, which, it is added, is 'the
greatest depth ever reached. II by
that is meant the deepest soundings
,ver made in any ocean there must be
mistake in the figures reported or the
claim is not correct. The depth OF
10000 feet has been exceeded three
Zines. In what is called the "inter-
national deep" near the island OF st.
Thomas. one of the West Indies, inde'
pendent soundings were made by
American and English officers and a
depth of 27,366 feet established. In
1874 the British ship Challenger found
=. depth of 27,450 feet near she La.
irone Islands in the Pacific Ocean, and
in the same year the United States
hip Tuscarora, under command OF
Captain George E. Belknap, sounded
70 the depth of 1880 feet near the
Kurile Islands in the North Pacific.
This is the lowest point yet reached,
being over five and one-fourth miles,
or nearly equal to the height OF the
Eimalayas. In the days before sclen'
Eifc deep-sea soundings there were re-
ports Of depths of 1000 to 5000 faith.

are now conceded to have been
spocryphal. The Tuscarora's record

The Horse rs a KeasoD:ng Animal.

cit is q mistaken idea that none but
human beings can reason, and that
dumb animals have not that power, !"
said Professor Albert A. Palmer, OF
Buffalo. ct am fully prepared to
demonstrate that the animals inferior
to man have reasoning faculties, and
that what is generally termed instinct
plays an important part in their do
ings and actions.
'Get me give single example. 1
have friend named Downing who
owns string of valuable race horses.
In his string is horse known as
Speedwest. 4 day or SO before race
in which the horse is entered he gen.
orally sends him out on the track
mounted by stable boy for little
preparatory work. This horse will
not take kindly to his work, and no
amount of persuasion with whip or
spur can get him away from a common
eanter. 7 noticed this peculiarly in
the animal, and one day suggested to
Downing that perhaps the horse knew
that he was not expected to race, and
Tor that reason could not understand
exactly what was required Of him. l
prevailed upon him to dress the stable
boy in the colors usually worn in a
race and try the horse again. He did
80, and the boy was placed in front OF
the animal for moment that he might
see the colors. The result was that
when the boy mounted again the horse
broke at the word of command and
set off at long, swinging gallop,
which he increased to run, finishing
under strong pull. Another stable
boy was put up without the colors,
and the horse refused to leave the
Looping gait at which he started out.
A second time the colors were used
and again the animal set out at ratio
of speed calculated to break record.
ssWhat do you call that, instinct or
reasoning? I contend that the horse
had a rational faculty which he exer-
cised at will. He knew that without
the colors he had nothing in particular
to gain by extending himself to swift
run. When the colors were put on
the horse reasoned that there was
some object in view. He reasoned
that he was already prepared for a raee
and made his pace accordingly without
being urged" ."-St. Louis Globe-Dem.

So we have often been told, and, no

to believe the dog had known his
masters destination, and been abe

really, it is time to inquire more care
fully as to what these stories do
mean; we must cease to ascribe our
intelligence to animals, and learn
that it is we that often possess their

Our next point is the Hague. This
is the most attractive city OF Holland
from an esthetic point OF view. Its
chief attraction is itself. with it's charm
ing streets and residences, parks and
villas. Trees border the walks which
are kept scrupulously clean. The
surface is that of an utter level; the
water in the parks and canals being kept
in motion by steam pumps.
An electric car line runs from the city
to Scheveningen, a summer resort with a
long sandy beach. In the season it
presents regular panorama of interest
with variegated bathing costumes and
wicker work beach chairs. | had oc-

lost 90 cents in the transaction. / have
since learned that the Dutch are very
fond Of money though their rash attempts
to obtain it are wholly unwarranted.
But one catcheson so to speak, although
he is obliged to guess quite often. Some
of the ladies in our party lost dollar
or two. Our special artist from Boston
never took the time to figure out for
himself but simply handed out piece
after piece until the vendor made sign
of enough. This sign varied in the
different countries we passed through.

paid about dollar and half for some
peaches and plums because the old
woman who sold them forgot to make
the right sign.
