It would seem that in these abysses the light is phosphor- escent, and, as Professor Hickson ob- serves, the deep sea fauna is remark able for the great number of animals which possess this quality. It occurs probably more or less in all the more important groups A giant Pyrosoma was brought up by the Challenger's deep sea trawl.

OCEANIC PROSPHORESCENCE.
The Organisms Which Produce it
 Light At Great Depths.

The Organisms Which Produce it Light At Great Depths.
 corresnondent at Gorleston calls attention to the large amount of phos- phorescence which shows itself there and at Yarmouth Lowestoft and other places on the east coast of Norfolk. This phenomenon is a deeply interest," ing feature of marine life both of the deep sea fauna and the floating or drifting superficial organisms, or plankton, as they are collectively called It has long been known that nearly all the more lowly orders-the infusoria, rhizopods polypes, echin- oderms. medusae, tunicates, mollusks, crustacea and many insects-possessed some power of emitting light. mi- mute rhizopod, the Noctiluca milliaris, is believed to be the chief cause of phosphorescence of our seas. pr. Phipson relates that he found 1t in such prodigious numbers in the damp sand at Ostend that on raising hand ful of it it appeared like so much mol ten lava"
 It is now ascertained however, that many sea water bacteria are luminous. The so-called phosphorescence of de- caying fish and meat is due to bacilli. Mir. Barnard and Dr. A. Macfadyean have produced cultures of these bac- teria, showing their luminous proper ties. and M. Tarchanoff fortnight ago sent to the Academy of Science at Par is an account of similar experiments with light emitting bacteria of the Baltic. It would seem tbat when oxy- gen has access to readily decomposing matter light is given off. The cheml- cal change takes place in such a way as to allow just that swing or vibra- tion of atoms as to generate light.
 This, too, is cold light, luminosity without heat like that of the firetly or the glowworm. M Tarchanoff has produced luminous ice with his bac.lli. It is also the cheapest light known. In those brilliant tropical seas where vou can read by it, which seem to dazzle with the glitter of myrtads of diamonds, how slight the mechanical energy to produce the radiant effect. Professor Dolbear says one horsepower spent without waste would maintain a phosphorescence light equal to a hundred thousand candles. He is a chance for the inventor!
 This oceanic phosphorescence helps to solve another mystery of the deep sea, It used to be thought there could be no fife below two or three hundred fath- oms; first, because there was no light, and. second, because there could be no oxygen Alas for deductive zoology! The voyages of our exploring ships have proved that there is abundant and varied life, and that polar currents carry plenty of oxygen to the deepest depths. From depth of 1,375 fathoms

| out possibility of mistake its special | mission in the world, and it is idle or worse than idle to dispute that mis- sion. The sphere of Russian influence and power must necessarily extend from Constantinople to the Pacific, from the Arctic to Afghanistan. . Even at the present day Russia holds Asia in her hands, and certainly long before the present century is out Rus sia will be universally acknowledged as the supreme Asiastio power. Be- yond Constantinople it is scarcely likely that Russia will develop west ward. Constantinople it is true, natu- rally belongs to Russia; it is a source of her most sacred traditions, relig- iously and politically the metropolis of that ancient Eastern empire to which she is the only possible successor
 Moreover 1t is one of the natural out lets of Russia, and for over century the Sav migration has been steadily increasing throughout this region. Any opposition to Russia's claim to the ul- timate possession of Constantinople is artificial and fictitious, based on the jealousies of other nations, for there can be no question whatever that, fail
 ing it's present possessors, no power has Russia's claims to Constantinople.
 It may certainly be added that Con- tantinople however important it may once have been, Is now a possession of little more than sentimental value. The whole Mediterranean. indeed, once the chief centre and source of hu
 man civilization, is becoming spot mainly interesting to tourists and archaeologists. Constantinople is specially eligible site for excavation; it will not henceforth be much more than this for the centres of life are tending to pass from this side of the world to the other, and the Pacific, sur rounded by Russia, Japan Australia and America, will wash the shores of all the youngest and most vigorous countries in the world without one ex- ception. It will be the special privi- lege of Russia that she alone among these lands represents Europe. In the Pacific Europe will only exist by req son of Russia's presence there. For us Europeans the only direct route to the New World of the future Is through Russia, and all our chief interests Tn that New World are invitaby placed in Russia's hands.
 With the new century she has wisely ceased to send her criminals to Siberia; the worthless majority among them were a weakness precisely because they
 were vagrants and never became a per manent part of the population. But the stronger elements that were sent to Siberia will not so pass away. The
 people of Siberia are already proving their energy; before long they will more than rival the people of the
 European Russia By the end
 of the century when people say Rus
 sia'' it will be to Asiatic rather than
 to European Russia that their thoughts
 will turn. .. The only rival of Rus

Beyond any other European people the Russians possess degree of recep- tivity, a radical humanity of feeling, a fund of high idealism, and sense of the relationship of ideas to practical life, which cannot fail to carry them very far.-(Sir Havelock Ellis, in The Contemporary Review.

INVESTIGATING LITTLE BROOK.
Engineer Cairns and Party Meet With
 an Army of Water Rats.

City Engineer Cairns and few of his assistants had l thrilling experi- cnce in Little Brook yesterday. They were Investigating the condition of the walls of the brook wlere 1t crosses North Main street and had worked lheiy way towards the north side of the street when they noticed some thing moving to and fro in q pool of water. and after getting q look at il they concluded that they Were up against an otter. Being too near to re- treat and afraid 10 make an assault they stood InotionleSS for q few min utcs. but seeing that it did not show any signs of rushing at them they plucled up sufficient courage to ap- proach the monster. Mir Cairns lead ing the way with Mir LoWndeS at his heels. while Ben Chatfield and Charley Mcdonald looked on armed with stones and prepared to do battle at short no- tice. When Mr Cairns got near enough to poke it With q pole he saw that it was a dead cat. whose tail was being moved about by the action of the water. After this all hands plucked up courage and the most timd man i'll tile party was ready and willing to push the cat aside. The next thing they coliided with was a barrel full of water rats. some of them as big as good sized terrier dogs and all fighting mad at the idea of having their winter quarters broken up, and they jumped here and there through the slush. scar ing the surveyors more than the pres ence of the otter After doing bat tie with the rodents for half an hour CT so the men decided to retreat, which they are said to have done in good order. each leaving the field in pos session of his weapons of defense. The walls of the brook are in a shocking condition and it is very doubtful if it would pay to try to repair them. The proper thing to do. it is thought, is to construct new walls from the present terminus of the channel at the north line of Abbott avenue to point at the north side of North Main street. and then the brook will be in fine shape from that spot to South Main street.
