It might be supposed that we had
done with finding big things in the
United States. But here comes an Of
fetal exploring party from Alaska with
the report that they have discovered in
Alaska a mountain much higher than
famous Mount St. Elias-a mountain
with an elevation of more than 10000
feet. This discovery was named at
once "Bullsaae.. thai eeasa, ,ass, Sa ~
the peak. The public is left to conjec-
ture whether this IS the Indian name
for the mountain or whether it is mere
ly a word indicating the Indians ap-
probation of its size. In either case it
may be assumed to be appropriate, and
may we'll be retained out of compli-
ment to a disappearing race, as the
names of so many of our rivers and
streams have been.

DEEP SEA LIFE

Animals Have Been Adjusted to the Pres
sure of the Water.
When marine life began to command
notice, the question OF the depth TO
which life could extend divided seien-
tific thought into warning camps.
About 1910 it was generally believed
that the bathymetrical limit was about
500 fathoms, and some strange ideas
were current as to the physical condi-
ton of the water when under a press
ure such as depth of two miles would
produce. 1t was thought that skeletons

Imagination places in the sea. foated
at certain levels, beneath which is wa
ter so compressed as to be impene-
trable In fact water is almost incom-
pressible, and the weight of a cubic
inch of it at the depth of mile is very
little more than at the surface, but II
vas assumed that no living being could
survive a pressure which at 1000
fathoms is about ton to the square
inch. We ourselves live under pres
sure of about fifteen pounds per inch
and are unaware of it. Indeed. we
sometimes waken on morning when
the barometer has risen, say, half an
inch during the night. and consequent
ly find ourselves sustaining an in
creased pressure of several tons, not
only without suffering, but with posi-
tive feeling of buoyancy and good spir-
It's On the other hand, If the tremen-

injury may follow. Aeronauts suffer
from this cause and marine animals
