LoW.DoWN JOURNALISM.
A Newspaper That is Printed Seventy-siR

Feet Below Sea Level.
So far us is known there Is but one
newspaper in the world printed below
the level of the sea. That paper is the
Indio Submarine, or, as it is now
known, the Coachella Submarine. The
paper Is little four-page weekly which
does not present a remarkably prepos

quirements of the community IN which
it clrculates.
The desert does not present too
abundant facilities for journalism, as
one or two extracts from the paper
itself will suggest, and the Submarine
Is situated in the midst of the most
formidable of the deserts of California

A WAX NOSE,

DR.. 4. J. Martlneau, assistant sur
geon to the Throat and Ear Hospital
at Brighton (EnglandD recently per-
formed an unusual, but successful op-

formed nose. A man aged twenty
years. who gave the following history,
was the patient: When fourteen years
old his nose had been injured; an alb
scess resulted, and when this was
healed the bony ridge along the centre
of the nose was found to have settled
down or been eaten away in the centre,
so that the bridge of the nose had as
sumed hollow cup-shaped appear
ance, and the boy had grown up with
what is technically known as a saddle
nose. Dr. Martineau thought the case
a favorable one for treatment by what
is known as the paraffin method. The
man was chloroformed, although local
anaesthesia (cocoaine) could have been
used, and half a drachm of hot sterll-
lied paraffin was injected through the
skin Of the nose over the depression on
the bridge, by means of an ordinary
antitoXin syringe. The paraffin had a
carefully determined melting point OF
40 degrees Fahrenheit considerably
above the body temperaturel. The nose
was nodded into shape as the paraffin
cooled. There was considerable sore
ness and swelling OF the nose for the
first three or four days. but these soon
subslded and the man was left with n
good looking, serylceable and TO all out
ward appearances, entirely natural
nose. Two pictures of the mans face,
one made before and one after the op-
