Control Your Temper.

There are three reasons why one
ought to control his temper. and the
first is self respect. When one loses
command of himself and throws the
reins upon the neck of passion, he may
have for the moment certain enjor-
ment In the license. but there must
surely come reaction of regret.
When he is calm again and the fit has
passed away. every serious person
must be ashamed Of what he said and
what he did, Of the manner in which
he gave himself away and the exhibi-
ton he made of himself. He will re-
call the amazement on the faces Of his
friends and the silence which they
adopted as protective measure aid
the soothing language which they used.

ment of minerals in China Firmly be-
lieying that there awaits the vigorous
searcher for gold and copper in the
northern provinces of the empire a
rich harvest, a corporation is being
formed which, seeking investments
from the mainland as well, will be prl-
marily Hawaiian capitalists, and Will
be managed from this city
The intention is to move rapidly to
secure concessions to search for pre-
cious metals and coal, and mine and
transport the same. Once established,
It is the intention of the company to
proceed on modern lines for the deyel-
opment of the properties they acquire.
and thus secure the largest returns
upon their capital. While the company
will seek first for gold and copper de-
posts, there is in possession of its
managers information of the existence
of coal formations which will be of
immense value. and these will form no

activity which will follow its en'rahce

SHOALS BETWEEN
COAST AND HAWAII

The Army and Navy Journal gives
the following interesting account OF
the Albatross' discovery OF the shall
lowest waters between California and
Hawaii:
More than fifty species of fish new
to the scientific world were discovered
by the United States Fish Commission
steamer AlbatrosS in Hawaiian waters,
according to DR.. Z. II. Gilbert, profess
sor of zoology at Stanford University,
who was at the head of the party OF
scientists who lett san Francisco Tor
Hawaii on the Albatross on March IL.
The steamer returned TO San Fran
cisco August 80.
An interesting episode in the out
ward bound voyage was the stopping
of the Albatross 700 miles from san
Francisco, over the Erben banks. Here
is the only shoal water between Cal
ifornia and Hawaii, $50 fathoms. Re
peated attempts to dislodge living
forms or any object from this hill-like
elevation We're fruitless dredges, tack

held fast. One of the party describes
its surface as being cathedral-like

specimens of sea life secured, said:
Life was found abundantly at all
depths from the surface to 1000 faith
oms, or over two miles. Life has, in
fact, been found in the sea four miles
below the surface. Here, in total
darkness and with a pressure of two
tons to the square inch, tish-like crea-
lures live and reproduce themselves,

and highly organized. Many species
have well developed eyes and other
sense organs, though all the light they
can ever see must be phosphoresCent,
and they show the most beautiful and
brilliant colors, green, yellow and or
ange.
Their constant temperature must
be near and below our freezing point,
yet under such conditions nature
brings forth manifold forms from the
most minute to gigantic monsters, and
from simple cells to,very advanced piss
cine types. Vertebrate and inverte-
brate forms hold even sway at all
depths, and, although some of the
deeper forms may be called the sub
merged tenth being degenerates, 9TH
ers show no falling off in structure or
function.
"All the specimens taken from the
greater depths died Immediately upon
reaching the surface. From a depth
of | 800 fathoms was secured one spec
linen of a fish, only four inches in
length, that is one OF the rarest in the
Fish Commissioner collection. Three
other specimens OF this yariety-one
found off the coast of Florida one of
the coast OF Lower California and one
near Panama-are the only others
known to science. Three new species
