Depths OF the Sea.

The name of the British ship Pen
gum is to be added to those OF the
Challenger and Tuscorora In the an
mails of deep-sea explorations. The
Challenger. a British ship, found q
depth of q. 448 feet, not far from that
island Of Guam which we have just
taken from Spain. The American ship
Tuscarora sounded 1880 feet, north
east Of japan. The latter, In the vast
depression known as the Tuscarora
Deep, has been the greatest sea-depth
known until the present; but now the
Penguin has found valley of the sea-
floor 28,572 feet deep, between New
Zealand and the Tonga Islands. That
Is little less than the height above
the sea-level of the loftiest mountains,
the browning peak Of the Himalayas
being 29,O02 feet, and Of the Karako-
rams 28,25O feet high. This peak Is
the only one that surpasses In altitude
this deep Of the Pacific. and 1t Is en-
tirely possible that there may be some
deeper depths yet undiscovered. The
close approximation between noun
tains and sea-valleys In variation re-
spectively above and below the sen
level Is to be noted as suggestive fact

Masons and bricklayers, 1866 cents an

creased so per cent. for the first four

The contractors have also agreed to
discharge and hire men without con-
sulting the unions, yet no man Is to be
discharged for belonging to union.
The employers have also agreed to es-
tablish a fund to indemnify the men

their burial In case of death. The en-
ployers agree to give the men financial
assistance for $50 days at the most for
injury sustained In service.-Stockholm

Indiana, recently, is supposed to be one
of the largest Of the kind ever cut In
that section. 1t measured feet 4
inches at the butt, So inches at the

four twelvefoot logs. The tree was
cut and rolled to White River; loaded
on a barge, taken to Mount Carmel, ILL.,.
rolled to side track. and loaded two
logs to a car. A silver dollar would
have covered the heart of any one Of
the logs.

The Quakers had with difficulty. dur
Ing the rumblings and heavings OF the
approaching revolution, stood by their
peace principles, and the mob had ~
sented their attitude. But there were
Friends who revolted against maintain
ing a passive part, and insisted that It
was the duty Of every man to defend
his country against oppression.
These were called "Apostates" BY
their non-resisting brethren: but they
named themselves Free Quakers," and
the worlds people" called them
"Fighting Quakers." Lydia Darragh.
who brought to Washington's camp
news of the English army's intended
attack, and Eliza beth Ross. who made
the first flag carried by the American
army, were both Free Quakers. Agnes
Repplier. in her "Philadelphia," tells .
story illustrative of the feelings caused
by the division Of sentiment.
A wealthy Friend, meeting one Of the
Apostates girt with sword, said to
him, "Why. what Is this with which
thou hast bedecked thyself2 Surely.

"Yes," was the stanch reply, "for
Liberty or Death! Is now the watch
word Of every one who means to defend
himself and his property"
"Ahw exclaimed the serene Friend.
II had not expected such high feelings
In thee. Thy mind has become as fierce
as thy sword. As to property, l thought
thee had none. and as to thy liberty, I
thought thee already enjoyed 1t through
the kindness Of thy creditors"
The Friend alluded to the mans in
ability to pay his debts, for which he
was liable to be cast into Jail.
Nearly a century afterward the old
combative instinct again brought the
Fighting Quakers to the front. Hun
dreds Of Free Quakers marched against
the foes who strove to break up the
Union. One of them, a descendant Of
Fighting Quaker of the revolution, be-
Ing too old for active service, equipped
a company Of soldiers at his own ex-
pense and presented them to the State.

In reading Of the great Arctic explor-
er, FridtjOf Nansen, 1t Is noticeable that
from his earliest boyhood he was, per-
haps unconsciously, in training for the
work of his life. One writer describes
Nansen's boyhood sports as follows:
hansen and his brother were born
and lived at "Froen," their fathers
country place, In the outskirts Of Chris
tiania. There was a little hill there,
where they made their first attempt at
skee-running. Snowshoeing In those
days was almost entirely confined to
the peasants.
The two brothers took 1t up as a sport,
and began to get rather proficient, and
tried going down hills. They found
they could use them for going down as
we'll as for making excursions through
the mountains. They discovered, at
the suggestion Of an expert from the
rural districts, that they could jump on
them. The peasants generally had
never jumped with them, nor made
much progress. The boys induced 9TH
er fellows to take it up. In that way
It became a sport in Christiania, and
the Nansens did all they could to make
1t popular. Now the snowshoe meeting
In February Is the great skee meeting

Holemkollen, with a sheer descent Of
about forty-five degrees. Half way
