thrown suddenly up. This was drawn
from limited area and nature probably
took much of the substance which makes
up the island of Guam from that portion
of the bed OF the sea where the Nero deep
now exists. 1t is a fact that In almost
every case where islands of volcanic ori-
gin exist corresponding depths of unusual
extent are discoverabie.
Up to a recent date an English deep sea
explorer held the record for having dis
covered the greatest sea depth. While
making explorations for a cable between
Japan and the Aleutan islands he ran
into water 1900 feet deep off the island
of Alto. While making explorations off
the Aleutian chain ne found that for 1000
miles the water varies from Is. 600 to N0l2
feet. The greatest depth In the Atlantic
was discovered by Blake, just north OF
Porto Rico where the plummet went down
200 feet.
But the discovery more recently by the
British ship Penguin of water 10 the north
or New Guinea of 30 400 feet and later of
water in 80 degrees Is minutes south lati-
tude and 176, degrees 80 minutes west lon
gitude of 30,930 feet, eclipsed all previous
RECORDS up to the discovery OF Nero deep,
when depth of 31,614 feet was reached.
Deep sea soundings are made with fiue
piano wire, to which is ball Of solid
iron, weighing from thirty to seventy-five
pounds. These balls detach themselves
automatically when the bottom Is reach-
ed, as 1t would be practically impossible
10 draw them up from such depth IL
TOO much wire is let out II would kink
and break, so there is no possibility Of a
mistake being made in the sounding.
The composition of the oceans bottom
has a curious interest You do not get
far out to sea before all deposits from
rivers and outer continental sources dis
appear. In the Atlantic on the bottom
down to a certain limit substances drop
ped from melting icebergs are found One
may expect to find on bottoms down to a
depth of 1000 and even 5000 fathoms de-
posts of stone, various calcareous sub
stances, such as the bones of fish shell
and carboniferous substances which enter
into the skeletons of the little deep sea-
animals, and blue and gray and area
muds or clays and various substances
classified as ooze. Below 1900 or 1000
fathoms little is found but red clay. This
when brought TO the surface is soft plas-
tic and greasy, but when exposed TO the
upper atmosphere IL becomes in a few
days so hard that to break 1t one has to
use hammer. 1t is capable of sustaining
high degree Of polish.
The theory that has been advanced in
explanation of the fact that no bones or
calcareous substances are found at great
depths hold the sinking bodies suspended
for so long a time that they are COMPLETES

tom.

The Ceremony to Take Place at
Richmond Next Sunday.


Ri. Rev. Benjamin ]. Kelley. Bishop
elect for the diocese of Savannah, Will
leave the latter part of this week for
Richmond, where he will be consecrated
next Sunday in ST. Peters Cathedral of
that city. The conservation will be con-
Quoted by Cardinal Gibbons, assisted by
Bishops Northrop of Charleston and Mon
ahan of Wilmington, Del. Father Fran
Gle Mccarthy, S. j. of the Church of
ST. Francis XaIian-zof. New York. Will
deliver the conservation sermon. Father
Mccarthy was a classmate of Bishop
Kelley at Rome.
1t is probable that a number of Bishop
Keiley's friends from Savannah will go
to Richmond to attend the conservation.
A special car will probably be secured
for the purpose Rev. Robert f. Kenne-
dy of the Cathedral who has been APP
pointed master of ceremonies, will leave
for Richmond Wednesday. Vicar Cen
eral Bazin and Rev. Father Gum of At
lanta will attend the conservation, and
il is probable that several others of the
clergy of the diocese will do so.
Father Keiley's brother, Maj John D.
Kelley. of New York, will bring Cardinal
Gibbons from Baltimore to Richmond in
the private car of Vice President Can
non Of the Southern Railway. Hon. A.
NJ. Kelley of Alexandria, Va, another
brother of Father Kelley, ex-minister to
Austria under President Cleveland and
afterward judge of the International
Court of Appeals>in Egypt, will also be
present. =.
Father Kelley went down 10 Tybee last
night and will conduct the services az
ST. Michaels Church there to-day. He
has been engaged in conducting a re-
treat for the young ladies of the con-
vent during the week and will enter into
a retreat on his own account tomorrow
night, remaining in seclusion until the
time of his departure for Richmond
Many of Father Keieys Protestant
friends were complimented with invita-
tons to his conservation, and among
these were the pastors of the leading
Protestant churches of the city, most of
whom are on very friendly terms with
the Bishop-elect.

PHILADELPHIANS ARE BUSY.
They Are in Correspondence With
the Central About Their Line.

Nothing definite has been done by the
Central Railroad with reference to the
adelphia-Savannah Steamship Line
that capitalists of the former city are
seeking to establish. Mr.. N. B. Kelly of
Philadelphia is in correspondence with
with President John NJ. Egan but moth
ing has been accomplished in the way Of
final arrangements. Mr.. Kelly was in Sa-
vannah some time ego in the interest of
the line. Mr.. Egan has not been informed
of any wharf room or privileges having
yet been secured in Savannah by the Phil
adelphians.
Satisfactory traffic arrangements with
the Central and other railroads are soug [.
Special attention is devoted to the Cen raj
by the Philadelphians, who seem anxious
10 get in with that line 1t is also proba be
that they will try to make some deal for
wharves. Philadelphia is apparently keen
ly alive to the need of such a stea sh D
line, and Savannah merchants will join in
the hope that it may be established.

The sub-Editor.
From Good Words.

The sub-editor is obliged to be lynx
eyed over every word lest he should make
his paper ridiculous Some Of the blum

easily detected, and cause simply a mild
fiutter of amusement in the sub-editor as
he ruthlessly strikes them out with his

little acumen was necessary to correct the
cabinet minister's whimsical appeal to the
great political meeting: I'VE are now at

HAD FAITH IN MAJOR RUTHERs.
His and senator TaliaferrO's Friends
Not Surprised by Holland.

Not Surprised by Holland.
The story of the confession of Jay G.
Holland, as published in the Morning
News yesterday, was read with interest
by all who knew Maj B. w.
Ruthers in Savannah and Jack
sonville, and by the friends
and constituents of Senator Taliaferro of
Florida. Holland confessed that he had
made his charge out of the whole CLOTH
drawing upon his Imagination to supply
the alleged facts Of the transaction by
which Senator Taliaferro's firm and Maj
Ruthers defrauded the government out of
more than 100000 pounds of bacon.
Nobody in Savannah who knew Maj.
Ruthers ever attached any Importance
10 the charge made by Holland. The
officer inspired too much confidence and
showed himself too much a gentleman
during his stay in this city as depot com
missary while the troops were here, TO adj
init of weight being carried by any such
grotesque allegations as were made by
Holland. The people of Florida felt the
same way about Senator Taliaferro, and
the Jacksonville deal that the ex-detec-
tive told of was never regarded as any
ching else than a piece of scoundrelly
fiction
