DEEP-sEA LIFE.
Purity OF the Water Necessary for
Fishes Mt Any Depth.
Prof. Elisha Gray In the Chicago Times
Herald

Prof. Elisha Gray In the Chicago TIMES
Herald
Results Of deep sea dredgings are differ
ent in different oceans. A series of ex--
periments made in the Aegean sea, which
is part of the Mediterranean, seems to
establish the fact that there was an
abundance of life in the shallow water.
which diminished until 1t found a limit
at 800 fathoms. below which no life
seemed to exist. It was afterwards shown.
when repairing a cable on the coast of
Africa, that animals were attached to
The cable that had been lying at a depth
of LOO fathoms This, however. was ex-
ceptional for the Mediterranean Both
the English and American governments
have made extensive research In the bot
toms of different oceans, with very inter-
esting results to science. Il is proved by
these dredgings that there is abundant
LIE i'm the Atlantic Ocean as deep down
as $500 fathoms, or nearly three miles
one result of these sounding was 10 es-
tablish the fact that there were currents
reaching to great depths moving in OPP
posite directions with fifteen degrees DIFF
ference of temperature within a short dis
lance
The Mediterranean seems to be an ex.
cephon to the general rule In the matter
of deep-sea life. The reason Is found in
the fact that there is a Shiny sediment
in the deeper portions of this sea that In
terferes with animal respiration 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 1t Is absorbed from the
air and in the other from the water. Pure
water Is to the sea animal what pure wa
ter is 10 the land animal The sea AMI
mai could not live in muddy water con-
tinuously any more than we could exist
continuously in an atmosphere filed with
dust IL 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. How
ever, there are certain forms OF life 10
be found in the lowest temperatures. But,
as in 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 stariish will grow as large as
pudding plate where the conditions are
favorable, but not larger than a silver
dollar in the cold current of the Atlantic
which flows southwark In some places
this cold current falls to 2la degrees be-
low the freezing point of fresh water at
the bottom of the ocean.

REMENY DIES ON THE STAGE.
FALLS DEAD WHILE RESPONDING
TO AN OVATION.

Had Just Played "OId Glory, as II
Inspired-His 3,O0o Auditors Com
pIcteiy Carried Away by His
Achievcment--Had Just Completed
Few Bars Of the Response to the
Encore When He Sank to the Stage
Lirelcss.
San Francisco, May I5.-Edouard Re
menyi who has held royalty enchanted
and has enthralled fashionable audiences
all over the world, fell dead this after
NOON at the Orpheum theater, in this city.
1t was RemenyPs first appearance on the
vaudeville stage.
He had played two or three classical
pieces and had answered to an encore
with The familiar "Old Glory"
Remenyi played as if inspired 1t seem
ed as'though he knew this was to be the
cumination of his career, and had deter
mined that his final appearance should
mark his greatest triumph.
He rose to the occasion magnlfcently
and his 5000 auditors, as Remenyi APP
preached his climax, literally rose with
him. leaving fheir seats in their excite
ment completely carried away by his
achievement.
When the music ceased the house was
swept with a wild torrent of braves. The
applause was almost deafening, and con-
tinued for several minutes.
Remenyi and his accompanst came for
ward and in response to another burst
Of applause the great Remenyi commenced
to play Delibes' "Pizzicati."
He had just completed a few bars of
the difficult lingering when he leaned for
ward as if to speak TO one of the must
Clans in the orchestra, continuing his
piece,
He seemed to pause for a minute and
then slowly fell forward on his face
One of the musicians caught him Just
before he touched the stage, and prevent
ed him from rolling off.
All was over. He was 81 years of age.

From The Youths Companion.
When the Civil War broke out an immense
meeting w2s held in Bridgeport. Conn. and
many men volunteered for the Army. TO the
General surprise. one of tho richest men in the
state. Elias Howe. the inventor Of the sewing
machine. arose and made this brief speech

for his country. | don't know what | can do.
unless ii is TO enlist and serve as private in
the Union Army. ! want position: | am
willing to learn and do what | can with a
musket."
But it soon proved that the chronic lameness
from which Howe suffered incapacitated him
from marching with a musket even TO the ex-
tent of standing sentry. Determined TO be Of
USE however. he volunteered to serve the rcgi-
ment as its postmaster messenger and express
man.
Sending home for a suitable horse and wagon
he drove into Baltimore twice day and
brought to the camp its letters and parcels 1t
was said that he would over half the State

for her soldier boy or bring back to him pair
Of boots which he needed during the rainy
weather.
For four months after the 18th Connecticut
entered the field the Government was SO pressed
for money that no payment to the troops could
be made. and there was consequently great
suffering among the families Of the soldiers and
painful anxiety endured by the men themselves.
One day private soldier came quietly into
the paymaster's office in Washington and took
interview. Presently the officer said:
well. my man. what can do for you"'
Il have called to see about the payment Of
the 18th Connecticut" answered the soldier.
The paymaster, somewhat rritatcd by what
he supposed n needless and impertinent inter-
rupton. told him sharply that "he could do
nothing without money. and that until the Gov
eminent furnished some It was useless for SOL
diers to come bothering him about pay"
Il know that the Government IS In straits"
returned the soldier II have called to find out
