The appearance Of plague at Bombay
and Calcutta has produced one good
effect at all events Before its advent
those prosperous cities had come to be-
lieve that they had nothing to learn in
regard to sanitation. There was a time
when they were open to reproach in
such matters as open sewers, polluted
water, and what not But by dint of
liberal expenditure of money and energy
they had made matters right and could
even challenge comparison with Paris,
Berlin and Vienna. When, however, the
awful eastern scourge, after striking
firm root at the western capital, few
across the peninsula to the eastern, the
public became little doubtful as to
whether sanitary precautions had been
duly observed. First came inquiry, then
dismay, indignation, wrath, as discov-
cry followed discovery. each more ap-
palling than the last. We refrain from
giving particulars. Even to read these
horrors is sickening But a still more
terrible question presents itself. If the
two most cultured and wealthiest cities
in Hindustan are in this dreadful con-
dition, what must be the state of less
favored centers OF population in districts
where there are few whites and many

inland, it would, we fear, find many

ON OCEANS BED.
What Becomes OF Ships Which Sink
the Bottom OF the Sea-

What Becomes OF Ships Which Sink to
the Bottom OF the Sea-
What becomes of the ship that sinks
in midooean? If it is of wood, it takes,
in the first place, considerable time for
1t to reach the bottom. In 100 or more
fathoms of water a quarter of an hour
will elspse before the ship reaches bot
tom. Itsinks slowly, and, when the bot
tom is reached it falls gently into the
soft, oozy beds with no crash or break
ing.
OF course, if it is laden with pig iron
or corresponding substances. or if it is
an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and some
times strikes the bottom with such force
as to smash in pieces. Once sunken, q
ship becomes the prey OF the countless
inhabitants of the ocean.
They swarm over and through the
great boat and make it their home. Be-
sides this they cover every inch Of the
boat with a thick layer Of lime. This
takes time, of course, and when one
generation dies another continues the
work, until finally the ship is SO laden
with heavy incrustations, corals, sponges
and barnacles that, if wood, the creak-
ing timbers fall apart and slowly but
surely are absorbed in the waste at the
sea bottom.
Iron vessels are demolished more
quickly than those of wood. which may
last for centuries. The only metals that
Withstand the chemical action Of the
waves are gold and platinum, and glass
also seems unaffected. No matter how
long gold may be hidden in the ocean,
it will always be gold when recovered,
and this fact explains the many roman
tic and adventurous searches after hid
den submarine treasures lost in ship
wrecks -Exchapge.

A SURPRISING OCCURRENCE

The Baltimore Afro-AmeTican SAYS:
During the trial of the suit OF VIM.

iii the Circuit Court for Baltimore
county. at Towson Jan. 18th, Michael
Murray. one OF the spectators. created
somewhat OF h sensation by loudly and
vigorously objecting to the presence of
ID Rufus White, a colored lawyer at
the attorneys table. While William
Welsh, the plaintiff was on the stand
Attorney White went to- the table and
picked up book whereupon Murray.

interruption. Judge Burke and the
court attendants for a moment were
amazed. Then the judge raped loud
~ Tor order, and said "The bailiff will
remove that man from the courtroom
at once"
BEilif Redecker promptly seized
Murray and elected him from the
room.
Speaking of the matter, Attorney
White later said:
at lie the first time in my life that I
have been insulted by white man,
publicly or privately. have the sat-
isfaction of knowing that TO gentle
man would have done such a contem-
tible thing. l have been courteouslv
treated by the people of Towson, and
the lawyers and court have especially
been kind to me, for which / shall ever
feel grateful. l am not one of those
colored men who seek social cot ality.
have have urged my people to uplift
themselves by thrift, education and
observances of the precepts of morali-
ty. This is the only way for colored
M to uplift themselves
As soon as Murray had been elected
from the room the testimony in the
case was resumed.
What causes the greater surprise is
that the judge did not fine the white
man guilty of the interruption, but
simply ordered his removal from the
courtroom.
We are of the opinion that both stood
on the same footing and his honor is as
amenable to censure as was the preju-
diced spectator, who was guilty of such
a serious breach of court etiquette.

THE MAYORS PREDIOAMBET

MAYOR RICHARD NJ T. .YLoR, in his at
tempt TO stand in the way of the Com
mittee on Retrenchment and Reform
by appealing to the worst prejudi ices
and arraying one race of people against
the other has been soundly rebuked
and unceremoniously sat down upon.
The Common Council by vote of
"a to o and the Board of Aldermen by
a vote of y to 3over-rode his veto.
1t was gratifying outcome of the
whole matter, not only to us, but to
the large constituency we represent.
If Mayor TAYLOR is not demagogue
he is nothing. Such men have labored
under the impression that whenever
they lack an issue or are weak in the
position which they occupy, all they
have to do is to yell, niggerl niger r'
and the white men will flock to their
standard regardless OF anything else
But, thank God, that day has happily
passed sway-let us hope, forever. The
friendly feeling now existing between
the better classes OF white men in this
community should form a bond of
union never again to be broken. II
this is accomplished there is nothing
to hinder the triumphant success of
our 'queen city OF the south"
Demagogues, be they white or black
should be sent to the rear, and only
those men and measures which Will re-
suit in the elevation of this community
recognized.
When Mayor TAYLOR found that he
had taken hold of the "hot end OF the
Shovel" he proceeded to endeavor to
enlist sympathy and secure support by
the allegation that an attempt had
been made to bride him by a member
OF the Committee on Retrenchment
and Reform. Alderman SNEAD made
great ado about nothing" in the
Board and appeared as the chunky de-
fender Of the Mayor.
subsequently, a subcommittee of
two consisting of Messrs. RoUNrRRR
and EBEL were appointed to wait upon
His Honor and ascertain the facts per-
tanning to the affair. Now, any one
who would think for moment, could
readily have seen that if any bride was
to be offered, it would have been most
! likely to have come from the Office
holders who did not wish their salaries
reduced, and not from those who de-
sired to reduce them.
But the subcommittee waited on
the Mayor, and this is how he "craw-
fished." The report is given as fol-
/ lows:

A C0aselcss Struggle Between Fire and

The Antarctic is a continental land

A. W. Greedy In an interesting article
on "What May Be Found at the South

Its desolate shores, rarely approach

are laved by an ocean the richest on the
globe in its marine life, animal and
vegetable. Seals and whales in incredi-
bic numbers abound in its waters, and
countless sea birds cover with nests and
eggs the few favored land spots which
are free from snow during the brief,
comfortless summer. Tt is q continent
where abounds no land animal life,
either mammals. birds, insects, spiders
or reptiles. No mammal exists within
600 miles Of its borders. IL is also de-

which have been found In two places
only, having neither ferns, Towering
plants, shrubs nor trees.
Here. however, nature displays her
forces on a scale elsewhere unknown.
Over the millions of square miles Of this
austral continent ceaselessly continues 9
titanic struggle between the opposing
ancient elements of fire and water. In
vain the volcanoes pour forth streams OF
molten lava and shoot upward pillars OF
fire. Welcoming the lava as a protect.
