DEEPEST OCEAN READINGS.
Brittsh Man-of-wnr K~turns From Inter
ssting Trip In vicinity of New Zealand.

San Francisco. Jan. ca.-The news
has been brought here from Australia
that the British man-of-war Penguin
has just returned 10 Sidney. New South
Wales. after taking soundings between
the island of Longi and Auckland New
Zealand. The officers found that Fal-
con island. which suddenly came up
out OF the ocean In 1885. Is gradually
receding. When relocnted by she Pen
gums officers they discovered that the
island is now three fathoms under
water.
The officers OF the Penguin also sue
cecded In taking the temperature OF the
ocean at greater depth than ever be-
fore. Hitherto when the thermometer
got down a certain distance 1t was in
variably broken. On this occasion the
thermometer WIS sent down I.IG2
fathoms, where the temperature was
found 10 be 35.5 degrees, while on the
surface the temperature was eighty
two degrees. This. the officers of the
Penguin assert. is the deepest ocean
reading ever taken.

Prince Hohenlohe to fall, that is to de-

The city council met Monday
night and opened the bids for the
construction Of the new reservoir.
All OF the bids were in excess OF
the S, 600 available for the con-
struction OF the reservoir, and ac-
ton in the matter was deferred tor
one week. The lowest bid was
1850, made by the Pueblo Bridge
Company. and this does not in
clude the laying of a.3oo feet OF
twelve-inch wood stave pipe from
the end OF the main on Ration ave-
nue. to the reservoir. The bid for
this work was 90 cents per loot
and would cost 81. o7o, making the
total cost So, 77o, nearly 81, 900 In
excess OF the contemplated exPen-
diture. The matter was referred
to the water committee and the
town engineer with instructions to
change the plans and sPecihca-
tions so as to reduce the cost Of
construction. II is thought that
by dispensing with roof on the
reservoir and making some other
changes the cost can be reduced to
a sum within the amount available.
1t is to be hoped that the council
will expedite matters so that the
work Of construction may be COM
menced ct once.
