Mountains in the Sea.

There exists in the great ocean be-
tween Australia and New Caledonia &
range of mighty submarine mountains
whose limestone tops rise within 3U'
fathoms of the surface. The discovery
of these peaks, rising sheer $500 feet
from the bottom of the deep sea, wax
made by the men who have just finish
ed laying the first section of the trans
Pacific cable. Sir Audley Coote, VINO
was at the head of the cable expedition
arrived here recently on the steamer
Alameda from Sydney, New soutk
Wales. He said:
.'The sea from Australia to New Gale
donia has been surveyed by Brltlst
and by an American vessel. 4our Al
batross went there and did some yer!
good work, but, as it happened, botf
this expedition and the other missed
the strange feature of the ocean that
can describe. We had anticipated nc
great difficulty in laying the cable sec
ton. and did not find any until sud
denly the bottom of the ocean began tc

there in mid ocean and to buoy UP the

There is nothing else like this in the
world that l know Of. The mountain

age, and the highest of them $500 fee;
from the bottom Of the ocean. Less
than 300 fathoms from the surface o.

highest mountains. The range extend.
for nearly seventy-ive miles-that is
measuring from the extreme northerly
to the extremely southerly point. tt

WHY We Should Give Thanks.

The eternal ground of thanksgiving
is to be found in the righteousness of
God. in the consciousness that under
all human life there is a found Ition
which no man can disturb, and that
life is so organized that no man can be
happy, restful or prosperous in doing
evil: that at every turn he is smitten
with penalties. and that real happiness
and satisfaction are bound eternally to
right thinking and right acting. These
great truths deepen the sifinificance of
Thanksgiving Day and make the years
of trial and self-denial as rich. if not
richer. in causes of gratitude than the
years of ease and Indulgence.
Both as a nation and as citizens we
have been learning during the last two
years some of the lessons Of adversely.
If they have taught is to care less for
wealth and more for integrity, to value
crops less and character more, to dis
Germ that the greatness of a nation lies
in the compass and elevation of It's
life, and not in it's commerce, its manu-
features, or its farms. ne have the
greatest possible reason for thankful

of the equine product of aristocratic
stables. But, as a matter Of fact, there
were more horses this year, and better
horses. than ever before, and. strange
to say. the entries in the harness and
saddle classes rolled the record up tc
the breaking point. A very encourag-
ing feature of the show this year was
the large number Of new exhibitors.
A remarkable event this week was
the birthday party given to Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton upon her eightietf
birthday. The Metropolitan Opera
House was the scene of the gathering
and some 5000 men and women gath
cred to honor the venerable champion
of woman suffrage and the cause she
represents.
Among those on the platform were
Susan B. Anthony and her sister, Mary
S. Anthony, Matilda Joselyn Gage
Nine Antoinette Stirling, DR.. M. Louise
Thomas, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Grannis, DR.
Hannah Longshore, DR.. Jane V. Myers
Mrs. Louisa Southworth and Elizabeth
Sheldon. Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson
president of the National Council OF
Women, presided, and she stated III
her address that not less than one
million women in organizations in the
United States were represented at the
meeting. Other speakers were Mrs. M
Carey Thomas, Of Bryn Mawr, Rev
Anna Shaw, Mrs. Mary T. Burt, Julia
Ward Howe, Harriet Hosmer, DR.. Emily
Blackwell, DR.. Elizabeth Gushing, Mrs
Emeline Burlingame Cheney and Mrs
Fannie Barrier Williams.
The meeting gave every evidence tina,
the woman suffragists are quite as
hopeful as ever Of the early success OF
the cause. Mrs. Stanton predicted the
early success of sex equality in the gov
eminent both Of State and Church. She
said in closing: 81 am unable to stand
long, but before I sit down I want tc
say just one word to the men. After
all that has been said for the last forty
years I am afraid they begin to feel
that the new woma-. will crowd them
off the planet. Let me say, as long as
you have mothers, and wives, and Sis
tiers, and sweethearts, you may be sure
they will take care of you" This state
ment, even admitting it to be humor-
Gus, furnishes the keynote not only tc
Mrs. Stanton's character, but to the
whole suffrage movement. The new
woman proposes not only to run things
generally, but to take care Of man il
the bargain.
