Pressure Of the Sea

There are spots in the ocean where
the water is five miles deep. If it is
true that the pressure Of the water on
any body i'll the water is one pound to
the square inch for every two feet of
the depth, anything at the bottom Of
one of the Five mile holes" would have
n pressure about it of Is, 200 feet to ev
cry square inch. There is nothing of
human manufacture that would resist
such pressure. That it exists there is
no doubt 1t is known that the pressure
on a well cOrked glass bottle at the
depth OF 300 feet is so great that the
water will force its way through the
pores of the glass. II is also said that
pieces of wood have been weighted and
sunk in the sea to such depth that the
tissues have become so condensed that
the wood has lost its bfioyancy and
would never float again. 1t could not
be even made to burn when dry.-Chi-

THE Sultan is said to have nearly
completed the largest hotel in the
world at Mecca. This establishment
is to lodge 5000 pilgrims at once,
with, presumably their camels and
other beasts OF burden, and promises
to be one of the most picturesque
places to stay at in the world, al
though, of course, infidel dogs are not
allowed to approach it. Its vast size
has drawn attention TO monster resi-
dences. The largest dwelling house
in existence is in Vienna, where there
is an apartment house with 1900
rooms in it. occupied by more than
5000 people. This building has 81
staircases. Is interior courts and $40
