in THE OCEANS DEPTHS.

The temperature at the bottom of the
ocean is nearly down to freeing point, and
sometimes actually below it. There is a
total absence of light, as far as sunlight is
concerned, and there is an enormous pres
sure, reckoned at about one ton to the
square inch in every 1000 fathoms, which
is 100 times greater than that of the atmos-
phere we live in. At $500 fathoms the
pressure is thirty times more powerful
than the steam pressure of locomotive
when drawing a train. As late as 1850 a
leading Zoologst explained the existence of
deep-sea animals at such depths by assum-
ing that their bodies were composed of
solids and liquids of great density, and
contained no air. This, however. is not
the ease with dccpsea fish, which are pro
vided with ar-inllated swimming bladders.
If one of these fish, in full chase of its prey,
happens to ascend beyond a certain level,
its bladder becomes distended with the
decreased pressure and carries it, in spite
vi an WIN 49, sum hlSilEi III us tDitSt.
In fact, members Of this unfortunate class
are liable to become victims of the unusual
accident Of falling upward, and no doubt
meet with a violent death soon after leav-
ing their accustomed level. and long before
they reach the surface in n distorted and
unnatural state. Even ground sharks
brought from a depth of no more than 500
fathoms, expire before they gain the surface.
The fauna Of the deep sea-with few
exceptions hitherto only known as fossils
are new and specially modified forms of
families and general hnbitating 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 Britons were COM
PEELED to withdraw to the barren and in
their organs have undergone considerable
modification in correspondence to the
changed conditions of their new habitats
Thus down to 900 fathoms their eyes have
generally become 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
50 greatly reduced that in some species they
disappear altogether and are replaced 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 a
"perIect blaze of pnosphoresence, 50 strong
that lights and shadows were thrown on
the sails and it was easy to read the small
est print" 1t is thought possible by several
naturalists that certain portions of the sea

IOWA GOLD DEMOCRATS.

Judge CIiggett, Of Mason City, Nominated
for Governor.
Dies MONIES, Ia, July s.-The gold
standard democrats yesterday brought
34l delegates to the city for their state
convention. The meeting was one OF
harmony along the lines of the gold
standard for finances and tariff for
revenue, together with denunciation
Of state liquor laws enacted by the re-
publican party, an issue which the sill
yer democrats at their recent conven-
ton omitted. A full state ticket was
nominated as follows:
For governor, John Cliggett, Mason
City; for Acknowledgements, ). ii.
Mallory, Charlton; for judge supreme
court. W. |. Babb, Mount Pleasant; for
railroad commissioner, Peter A. Dey,
Iowa City; for superintendent public
instruction, j. B. Knoeier, Lansing.
The nomination of candidates was
made by reclamation, there being no
contests for the offices. The platform
adopted heartily indorses the one
adopted by the national democrats at
indianapolis last year, which states at
length the fundamental principles OF
government and says:
The doctrines of paternalism. class
legislation and debased coinage, of
which each of the three contracting
parties, making up the free silver
pppulist triple alliance in this state,
have recently pledged themselves in
their several platforms, are as abhor-
rent to every true democrat, when adj
vocated by populists under the name
of democracy, as when taught by re-
publcans. Democracy is a necessary
foe of each, and we repudiate them as
unworthy Of the support OF every true
democrat

PENSION RULINGS.
Two Important Decisions Made by Assist
ant Secretary Davis.

Two Important Decisions Made by Assist
ant Secretary Davis.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Assistant Sec
rotary of the Interior Davis rendered
two important pension decisions yes
terday. The first was in the case OF
Edward W. Moore, Fourteenth indie
pendent battery, Ohio light artillery.
by reference to the claim papers 1t APP
pears that the soldier, pensioner
under the general law, was, by order
of the probate court of Warren county,
o., placed under guardianship on the
ground that the soldier was an imbe-
cile, and payment has since been made
to the guardian. The contention in
the case was that the soldier had been
improperly made ward. Secretary
Davis decides that when 1t shall be
shown that the pensioners right to
have the pension inure wholly to his
benefit is being abridged or forfeited
by the malfeasance of the guardian,
and that the appointing court will not
administer relief, then the pension
commissioner would be legally author
lied to refuse payment to the guardian,
and, if need be, pay the pensioner him
self
The second decision was in the case
of Francis Frank, company II, Six
teenth Michigan infantry. There is
ruling now in force in the pension de-
partment that when claimant for a
pension shall have reached the age of
Is years he shall be considered totally
incapable of manual labor, and shall
be entitled to the maximum rate OF Sl2
per month. Secretary Davis ruled yes
terday in the case of Frank that
claimant who has attained the age OF
So years shall be deemed entitled to at
least the minimum rate Of pension, UNI
less the evidence discloscs an unusual
yigor and ability in one of that age for
the performance of manual labor.

"Darnstown, Nd, was little one
horse town, with a small population and
three stores. Here was speut my Christ
mas day in 1861, says Capt. j. e. b.
Adams.
1.-THE way in which the people in
Darnstown celebrated Christmas week
was a. revelation to us northerners.
They did nothing for seven days but
have good time.
1.-THE colored people were given a
weeks vacation from woyk. They rev.
eled all day long.
"The women wore gayly eolored hand
kerchiefs twisted around their heads
and folded over their breasts. For
those bright-colored cotton handker-
chiefs, their black faces laughing eyes
and cleaning teeth made good foils.
"They made music with banjos and
violins, and seenaded some one every
night. Meeting any Of us in the street,
they would hold out their hands with a
musical Christmas gift, boss, and a
fash of their white teeth; the boys al
ways gave them something.
"On Christmas morning the towns
people, with true southern hospitality,
sent into camp large pailful of egg
nog. Indeed, eggnog seemed to- be the
special feature of the occasion. 1t uslt-
cred in the festivities at Christmas, and
ushered them out again at the New
Year.
"The' Christmas of 1862, was passed
in Falmouth, Va, after the battle OF
Fredericksburg. The Christmas boxes

kind Of regularity that year.
"a box directed to Capt. Hin came

o'clock, the bird was buried with appro
