Marine Life Distribution

Inc extreme range of temperature

stitution lecture by DR.. John Murray,

yet temperature has played more
important part in the distribution of
marine organisms than in that of the
breathing and wa1m-blooded ami.
mails of the land. The surface waters
of the ocean have five well-marked
temperature areas-an Arctic and IN
Antarctic circumpolnr belt with n
small range and n low temperature, n
clrcumtropical belt with small range
AMI high temperature and two inter
mediate areas with large annual
ranges OF temperature. Vertically,
the ocean may be divided into the
superficial region, extending down to
about 100 fathOms, and the deep sea.
The surface region, especially near
the land, has variety of conditions
and an abundant fauna and flora: but
plant Ii liz absent in the uniform con-
dltions OF the deep sea, although ami

face waters of the tropics have many
species, but relatively few individuals,
while the reverse is true in colder
regions. DIR. Murray accounts for all

It is a proposition to other nations

is based is int,insieallv good but in

Y A HEARING.

The Sugar men who went up to
Washington to get a hearing before
the Ways and Means Committee on
the bill introduced hy Congressman
Price raising the tariff On sugars
imported from bounty-fed countries,
were given a hearing.
But that is about all they will get.
The members Of the committee seized
upon the opportunity to make all the
political capital they could out of it.
They have virtually said to the :isi-
tors, Eve recognize the justice OF
your demands but we will do nothing
towards granting them until you go to
the Senate and make that body
resnscitate the proposed tariff bill
sent there bv the house, tack on the
Price hill by way Of amendment, make
the Senate swallow the whole and
then return the same to the house."
The Republicans in Congress seem
to he very much disinclincd to de-
anything for sugar.
Their professions of friendship t6
sugar is mere lip-service, designed
only to catch gadgeons.
Every time they are brought to the
test they fly the track, advancing ont
bad reason or another in excuse o
their faithlessness. The only wondel
is, that there are still some good Ma
tured people who believe i'll theil
