fathoms, expire before they gain the sur
face.
The fauna Of the deep sea--with few
exceptions hitherto only known as fossils
are new and specially modified forms
of families and genera hsbltating shallow
waters in modern times, and have been
driven down to the depths Of the ocean
by their more powerful rivals in the
battle Of life, much as the ancient Bri-
tons we're compelled to withdraw to the
barren and inaccessible Businesses Of
Wales. Some Of their organs have un-
dergone considerable modification in cor
respondence to the changed conditions
OF their new habitats. Thus down to
800 fathoms their eyes have generally be-
come enlarged, to make the best Of the
faint light which may possibly penetrate
there. After 1000 fathoms these organs
are either still further enlarged, or so
greatly reduced that in some species
they disappear altogether and are re-
placed by enormously long feelers. The
only light at great depths which would
enable large eyes to be Of any service is
the phosphorescence Of deep-sea animals.
We know that at the surface this light
is often very powerful, and Sir Wyville
Thomson has recorded one occasion on
which the sea at night was perfect
blaze Of phOsphorescenCe, so strong that
lights and shadows were thrown on the
sails and it was easy to read the smallest
print" 1t is thought possible by several
naturalists that certain portions of the
sea bottom may be as brilliantly illu.
mined by this sort Of light as the streets
of European city after sunset. Some
deep-sea fish have two parallel rows of
small circular phosphorescent organs
running along the whole length of their
bodies, and as they glide through the
dark waters of the profound abysses
they must look like model mail ships
with rows Of shining portfolios.

KlndergarteA Sunday Schools.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The introduction Of kindergarten meth
ods into the Sunday school is radical
innovation, but one to be commended.
The methcd Of imparting instruction
which renders the information easiest to
understand and remember is the best,
and the very best is none too good for
tho religious instruction and moral train
ing Of children Of tender years. The
kindergarten idea has been slowly but
steadily gaining in the week day schools,
and in time will be adopted by all.
There is no reason why it should not also
be adopted by the Sunday schools, and
the tremendous impulse which it has
started indicates that il coon wiz be in

The Congressional Library Building.


From Che Hartford Couraut.
The new Library OF Congress is worthy
OF the youngest capital city of the world,
and would be an adornment to any that
ever existed. It's beauty has been cele-
brated in the magazines, and attention
is again called to it by the lately issued
handbook. Whether there is anything
in the idea that beautiful capital city
means luxurious and effeminate nation
or not-the idea seems simply fanciful
one, and to indicate one Of those CORE
spondencies which are no base for anal
ogy-this building teaches one thing,
and that is, that the arts have united.
Architecture, sculpture and painting
have worked in harmony as they did at
the Worlds Fair in Chicago. Whenever
this has taken place, the age of great art
has begun. The Parthenon was not sim
ply beautiful building; it was a house
for beautiful statue, and was adorned
with color and metal work. 1t was ''all
beautiful within" So this library of our
nation is unity, finished in all It's parts,
and not simply shelter for books where
they can be easily consulted or read with
comfort. 1t expresses an idea-honor to
literature; and that the other arts have
joined to express that idea with equal
force, instead of making one supreme
and the others subordinate, and valued
simply because they brought some facti.
tious ornament, is matter of great mo-
ment. Each Strengthens and elevates
the other, and their union presaRes the
time when love for beautiful things shall
become the characteristic Of the people.
When any one art stands aloof and be-
comes aristocratic and is exclusively Cul-
tivated, then comes the decadence, the
age OF the narrow man-the man who
cannot express himself in harmony with
others for lack of broad enthusiastic
sympathies. From the growing beauty
Of our capital city we gather no forebod-
ing Of an oVer-rich and luxurious civili-
zation. Rather we rejoice to see the
sisterhood Of the arts so enriching and
our National life.

'.Disperge!"

Shakespeare, who rendered eloquent
tribute to the native authority of kings,
lords and military commanders, seldom
shows like respect in his treatment of
civic dignitaries. Justice Shallow and
Dogberry, for instance, are SO delicious
ly absurd that their sayings have often
been criticised as too good to be true.
Perhaps, but they can occasionally be
pretty closely paralleled.
There is something quite in the
Shakespearean manner in the simplicity
of former magistrate of Newburyport,
in the old day of cues and ruff1ed
shirt bosOms. A case was being tried
before him in which the accused, who
stoutly denied the charge, was asserted
to have stolen from gentleman new
set Of shirts.
"A pretty story that should take his
shirts" exclaimed the irate culprit. But
when he was searched a moment later
it was revealed that he was at the mo-
ment arrayed in the whole six, one over
the other. The good justice was shocked.
"What villainp' he exclaimed. Then
he added reproachfully: "Why didn't
you tell mo you were villain? Why
didn't you save the time of the court,
the spectators and the witnesses by OWL
ing up you were q villain in the first
place?''
A few years later constable Of the
same town made a remark worthy of
Dosberry himself. A knot Of little boys
had been hanging about the entrance to
the town hall before public meeting.
AS the officer came in sight all ran away
but one, and to this lone youngster he
addressed his orders in tone of mingled
dignity and wrath.
"Disperge. he commanded, "dis-
perge, say! We can't have no burlash
here"
The awed youth did not disperse, but
he moved on.-Youth' IS Companion.

VERY GENIUS OF THE BATTLE.
Logan Gallops Down the Line and Or
ganizes Victory.

Logan Gallops Down the Line and Or
ganizes Victory.
In that most trying Of moments the
soldiers in blue heard a roar to their
right; saw the galloping advance of a
mighty horseman: felt the STRINGS of
battle-mad enthusiasm and knew a new
leader had come. 1t was General John
A. Logan. His horse was a coal black
charger, fit to carry an emperor. In his
left hand General Logan grasped the
reins and guided his steed in the very
teeth Of peril. In his right he swung
toward ard back the coIors of the nation
they all adored. His black eyes flashed
courage to their faltering hearts. His
thunderous voice called them to come on
and avenge the death Of Mcpherson. His
whole presence stamped him the leader
of armies. the man for a supreme occa-
sion. How they howled their welcome
to his coming! How they nerved them
selves to any blow that fell. How they
trusted him!
A storm Of cannon shot stopped Cheat
ham and he never made a junction with
Hardee till he found him in the night,
beaten, baff1ed and retreating. A charge
along the whole'of that left wing drove
back the enemy, and McPherson's rid
died body was recovered. The men who
had killed him were trapped in their
turn, and every scrap of his papers was
recovered. When they had recaptured
that ground the right wing of Hardee
was behind them. And they whirled
about and scooped up the whole division
prisoners. Then they faced about to the
west again and drove back the whole
murderous lire of Hardee, and chased
Cheatham out of the woods, throwing
up entertainments every. time they
paused at the end of rush. and hold
ing their places like walls of solid rock
And the battle of Atlanta was won.
Hardee was crushed. Hood was dis
credited. In the very moment of sur
prise, at the very verge Of a panic. John
A. Logan went down the length of the
line, disdaifful of danger, preserved
from death a thousand times and swept
with the army of the Tennessee to the
very gates Ct Atlanta.
That splendid achievement and the
qualities that made 1t possible is what
Chicago and the nation honored yester-
day.

The troops fell IN line in Twelfth

marshal, General Brooke. department

Michigan avenue past the reviewing
stand. Over 10000 men were in line,
headed by a squad of police on foot.
The survivors of General Logan's old
regiment, the Thirty-first Illinois volun-
teers, led the van, proudly bearing the
old regimental flag, tattered and torn
by 200 Confederate bullets. Then came
the grizzled veterans of the G. A. R.,
with barred heads in honor Of their first
and idolized commander-in-chief. With
the veterans marched ex-Confederates
2e0 strong. The appearance Of the vet
Grams Of the gray was touching tribute
to the man they met in battle on the
bloody field of Atlanta.
Behind the southerners marched with
easy swing $500 regulars. the largest
number seen together in the west since
the civil war. Every branch of the
service was represented, including eight
troops Of cavalry. The governors of
