The discovery of drowned island in
the midst of the Atlantic ocean is an
event sufficiently sensational to cause
not little excitement among ''thalas-
sayraphers"-as those scientists who
make II their business to study the
bottom of the sea call themselves.
Future charts issued by the hydro
graphic office at Washington will show
this geological freak, with soundings in
fathoms upon and around it, IL is a
huge volcanic mountain, which uplifts
itself from the floor of the ocean nearly
to the surface. the depths all about it
averaging about two miles.
This drowned island is located just a
little bit over 1000 miles due west from
the Rock OF Gibraltar. 1t is As miles
southwest of Pico in the Azores. The
shape of Il, as determined by sound
ings. is much like that of huge
cooked hat. with the top of the hat
pointing to the south. Happily, there
IS no danger that any vessels will run
upon it. inasmuch as its highest peak is
II fathoms beneath the surface of he
sea. II it were only little higher it
would be a real island, and people
would be living on it,
Nevertheless, this drowned island,
which has already received the name
OF princess Alice Shoal.~ possesses a
very practical Importance and useful
ness, as will be explained presently. IL
was discovered by no less parsonage
than his serene highness the prince of
Monaco, who has fad for iuvcstigat-
ing the depths of the sea. In fact, he
is one of the most eminent of living
''thalassagraphers," and a considerable
fraction Of the income derived by him
from royalty in the celebrated gam
bling establishment located in his do
minions is spent in the pursuit of this
hobby. His experiments in the floating
of bottles for the purpose of studying
ocean currents have contributed some
very important facts to scientific knowl-
edge.
The prince came upon the drowned
island quite Unexpectedly while maxi
ing soundings from his yacht, the
Princess Alice. after which he named
his discovery. II was shual in the

JUNGLE" HIRAM's ODD MISTAKE.
How Commisrioner Jones Anixed .

The death of Hiram ]. Jones. Uncle"
Hiram, as he was called in the city hall.
where he was an official for so many
years, recalls one of the most curious
proceedings of his official career, and
one which, at the time, created no end
of merriment, says the Chicago Times
Herald.
During the last administration of the
elder Carter Il. Harrison "Unc,c" Hiram
was commissioner of public works, and
one of his most irksome duties was the
signing of thousands of contracts for
the performance of work or the supply
ing of that vast variety of material
which is used by the city on its streets
and in its numerous shops and machine
plants. uncle" Hiram used TO do this
work and attend to callers at the same
time. for an assistant had carefully
gone over each contract before it was
handed to the chief. and there was no
need of careful inspection by him. Mr..
Jones was also treasurer of the Church
of the Epiphany, and the church bust
ness he transacted al the office of COM
missioner of public works
One day an exceedingly large number
of contracts, requiring the signature of
the commissioner and the seal of the de-
partment. were placed on his desk.
AT night when the batch of several
hundred city documents was turned
over to the assistant commissioner i,
was found that each bore q beautiful
imprint of the seal of the Church of the
Epiphany.
