WAR CORRESPONDENTS.
The New York Newspapers Besfeged
by Men who want to Go
to the Front.

Fourteen thousand persons, it is said,
make a living in this city by literary eff
fort. Nine hundred of these are actively
employed on newspapers, and every
blessed one of them wants to go TO
the front as a war correspondent.
What a strange craze this war corre-
spondent business isl I have had p
men, by actual count, to beg me to pre-
sent their names to my editor as volun-
teers, for not one of them ever wrote
a line for a newspaper. They are men
Of means, and all they care to go for
is glory. They Will pay their OWE ex-
penses. L think some of them would
give 10000 for the privilege Of repre-
sentIng the Press, as it would enable
them to get well up with the first gun
and see the racket at a safe, close
range. But editors are loyal to their
men. My editor is crazy to go, and so
is his youngest Office boy; but some
body must remain here to run the Of
fee. Already we have the cook and the
king in the field, and the rest of US are
drawing straws.
There are enough war correspond
ents now actively engaged in the manu-
facture of belIigerent news to whip the
whole Of Spain, and l regard it as the
duty of the government to give them
the best ship in the navy and let them
go out to fight the armada If this is
o done We shall have a marine view Of

war correspondents-LordyI
Gen. Teeumseh Sherman had fun with
the c~onfederates down in Georgia and
elsewhere, but he had TO fight White
law Reid, war correspondent, for 20
years after. lie said that Reid was
the biggest liar he ever knew, and Reid
said the same of him. Sherman died
under a flag of truce. Gen. Hancock
fought Charles A. Dana until he died.
And it was pretty much the same with
all the war correspondents, not be
cause they led, but because no two
men could possible seize things in the
same light. When Spain goes against

DEEP SEA LIFE.
Parity Of the Water Is a Necessary
Condition for Fishes at
Any Depth.

Results of deep sea dredging are diff
ferent in different oceans. A series of
experiments made in the Aegean sea,
which is a part of the Mediterranean.
seems to establish the fact that there
was an abundance of life in the shallow
water, which diminished till it found a
limit at 800 fathoms, below which 10
life seemed to exist. 1t was after
ward shown, when repairing a cable on
the coast of Africa, that animals were
attached to the cable that had been ly-
ing at a depth of 1900 fathoms. This,
however, was exceptional for the Med
iterranean. Both the English and
American governments have made ex-
tensive research in the bottoms OF diff
ferent oceans, with very interesting re-
suits to science. 1t is proved by
these dredgings that there is abund-
ant life in the Atlantic ocean as
deep down as $500 fathoms, or
nearly three miles. One result of
these soundings was to establish the
fact that there were currents reaching
to great depths moving in opposite di-
rections, with Is degrees difference of
temperature within a short distance.
The Mediterranean seems to be an X
ception to the general rule in the mat
ter of deep-sea life. The reason is
found in the fact hat there is a Shiny
sediment in the deeper portion OF this
sea that interferes with animal respira-
ton, the same as an extremely thick
dust would in the air. Life is supported
in the water the same as on Landry
breathing oxygen. In the one case it is
absorbed from the air and in the other
case from the water. Pure water is to
the Sc animal what pure air is to the
land animal. The sea animal could not
live in muddy water continuously any
more than we could exist continuously
in an atmosphere filed with dust. 1t
is thus seen that depth is not the only
condition that affects animal life on the
bed of the sea. The nature of the soil
and deposits are factors, as well as the
temperature of the water. However,
there are certain forms of life to be
found in the lowest temperatures. But,
as is the case on land, we do not find the
same Kind of life in the colder and
deeper zones of the ocean as in the
warmer and more shallow parts.
In the cold waters the animals are
dwarfed in size. somewhat as we find
them in high mountain regions. 1t is
said that the starfsh viii grow as large
as a pudding plate where the conditions
are favorable, but not larger than a sill
