Changes Under the Ocean.

Many of the violent changes which
occur under the surface of the sea. as
Prof. John Milne has recently shown,
produce effects that are distinctly and
sometimes disastrously felt on land.
Wherever profound cavity exists in
the bed OF the ocean near the land, and
wherever the border of continent
slopes off into a deep sea, great slides
are apt to occur, and these ctten cause
earthquakes. In Japan, Mr.. Milne saws,
a large number of earthquakes came
tom the deep sea off the mouth of the
Tenegawa. the largest of the Japan
csc rivers. The river brings down al.
luvial detritus which is deposited on
the brink of a deep hollow in the ocean
and from time to time the accumu.
lated deposit slides into the depths,
shaking not only the sea-bottom, but
the adjacent land.-Youth's Compan-

THE PETERHOF PALACE,
Beautiful Bedroom of the First Grand
Duchess. OlRa.

Duchess, Olga.
One must not think of Christopher
Sly in specializing on NJ. Faure's dreams
at Peterhof. He slept there in a bed
arranged for the first Grand Duchess
Olga Nicholaievna. She was the young
est and handsomest of the three beauti-
full daughters of Nicholas [. He and his
wife were fondly attached to Peter
hof. The farm now tenanted by the
emperor and empress was the only es-
tate they had in Russia before they
came to the throne. The ground was
given to Nicholas by Alexander I. to
create homestead for himself and his
young wife. They We're satisfied with
quite a small cottage with two rooms
on each side of the hall, a kitchen, 4
greenhouse, and four bedrooms up.
stairs. The servants lived in an out
house communicating by passage
with the cottage. Nicholas and Alex
andra had no idea when the house was
finished of ever reigning. When they
came to the throne they remained at
the cottage, but added to it a large
dining-room and a few more bedrooms
1t has now reserved garden, kitchen
garden, poultry yard, aviary, and many
lighthouses. The view on the Baltic
with the rocky uplands Of Finland in
the distance, is very fine. The emperor
leaned on" his sword when presenting
the grand dukes and their attendants
to NJ. Faure. He was satisfied to wear
naval captains uniform.
But the bed and bedroom at Peter
hof. They were used by the Austrian
and German emperors, and belong to a
suite of 20 rooms, which grand stair
case connects with the ground floor.
Versailles was the model on which
Peterhof was built. The bed is like
that Of Louis XIV. in having a canopy,
but is curtained in soft, thick creme
silk. Opposite the foot is mirror
framed with Sevres porcelain flowers.
The grand duchess, sitting up in this
bed, could see herself in it. Living
down she could also contemplate her
beautiful person, for the alcove ceiling
is faced with mirrors, also set in gar
lands. Olga, in her visit to Russia as
princess or queen of Wurtemburg,
dwelt in this suite of rooms. Their ar

for beautiful woman, and that her IA
