THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

The. French government announces
there viii be financial congress at the
Paris exposition, and all leading fnan-
cial institutions throughout the world
have been asked to send representa-
tives.
A boat IS feet beam, 4s. feet long
and ten feet deep is to convey Firmin
Moindron, an old sea cartsin, from
California to the Paris exposition. This
vessel is to be hewn out of the trunk
of a redwood tree, and viii be schooner
rugged.
One Of the attractions of the Paris
exposition will be a gigantic umbrella
$50 feet high, made by a Chicago
man. To each rib of the umbrella n
car capable of seating so people win
be attached. and these cars win be lift
ed to n point even with the top of the
structure, when they will be held long
enough to allow the occupants to enjoy
the view.
The lighting of the Paris exposition
win call for 10000 horse power. At the
Paris exposition of 1853, the motive
power was only $50 horse power; in
1867, 626 horse power; in 1878, 1850

DEEP IN THE OCEAN.


Twenty-Five hundred fathoms deep
the pressure is 80 times that of an en-
CINE drawing train.
sGround sharks brought up from no
more than 500 fathoms die before reach
ing the surface of the water.
AT the bottom of the ocean the tenn
perature is down to freezing and often
below it. There is no light and the
enormous pressure of a ton to the
square inch in every thousand fathoms,
or 16 times more pressure than we en-
dure.
The fauna of the deep sea are modi-
fed forms of those which live in shall
low water to-day, and they have been
driven down to ocean depths through
the law of the survival of the fittest.
In the battle for existence their
stronger rivals triumphed in the sur
face waters, and these, beaten and dis
couraged, sank below. OF course, ami
mails driven to these depths would grad
ually change in form. Down to e0O
fathoms their eyes have become larger,
so that they may see by the faint light.
After 1000 fathoms the eyes are huge
or else disappear altogether, and enor-
nous feelers take their places. At great
depths eyes are of no nse.
