Carrara Paint is the best paint for
house, barn or fence. For interior or eS-
terror work it has no equal. It is smooth
er, covers more surface, bri6htens and
preserves colors, is used on wood, iron,
tin, brick, stone or tile and never cracks,
peels, blisters or chalks. It does not
fade. It outlasts the best white lead or
any mixed paint and it covers so much
more surface to the gallon that it Is
cheaper in first cost than so-called cheap.
paints.
Carrara Paint has stood the test OF
time and the rigid test Of men. Many Of
the great railway systems use Carrara
Paint because it covers more surface,
lasts longer, has a better gloss, can be
washed without staining and is not affect
ed by smoke, gas or dust and dirt. The
Chicago Telephone Company and the
Central Union Telephone Company use
after rigid test it was found that no
other paint. not even the best white lead
and pure oil can compare with it in last
ing quality, appearance or price per
square foot of surface. The roof Of the
great Field Museum. Chicago. covering
seven acres of ground, is painted with
Carrara Paint. This was done after the
most rigid two years test. in which it
was found Carrara Paint was more .than
twice as good in lasting quality than any
other paint produced. The exclusive,
aristocratic Kenwood Club, Chicago. is
painted with Carrara Paint because it
is the naHuSOu1eSt III SipSSS, IlCfl
and the best preservative of wood ever
known. Instead of painting every year
with white lead, this handsome structure
Is now painted every five years With Car
rara The Kellogg Switchboard Company
uses Carrara Paint because no other
paint. except Carrara will stand the
moisture and outdoor exposure and pro-
tect and preserve cables. The stately
Wellington Hotel Chicago. is painted
with Carrara because it has the richest
appearance and is superior in all the
points of a good paint. One of the mon-
ster mail order houses of Chicago is
painted with Carrara Paint because it is
the best. Last year they or6ered their
building washed. Under the Chicago

Interest Shown by Ambassador.
From the time mention of erecting a
statue in Washington to the memory Of
Rochambeau was first made. VI. Cambon
has been greatly interested in the pro-

the matter to realization he has had
the constant and hearty support Of NJ

who has seen that there was no tagging
in the details of the enterprise. When
Congress voted the appropriation for the

the present Count de Rochambeau. in
forming him of what had been done in the
matter by the United States Government.

the sculptor was giving to his model.

siz, the great Swiss-American naturalist
has returned TO this country from an ex-
tensive examination of the coral forma-
tion in and around the Maldivc Islands. in
the Indian Ocean, off the southern coast OF
Ceylon.
On landing In New York, DR.. Agassiz is
reported to have said that he had learned
moro about corals in this single expedi
tion than in fifteen years Of previous
study elsewhere, and he brings back with
him, TO add to the remarkable collections
already gathered in the Museum Of Com
parativc Zoology, many specimens Of the
greatest rarity, some of which are alto
gether new TO science. DR.. Agassiz's as
sistants in this expedition were his son,
Mr.. Macmillan Agassiz. DR.. W. Mem.
Woodwork, and Mr.. H. B. Bigelow.
Besides the corals themselves, large
number of photographs were secured. to-

great interest, the larger part of which
was obtained through the friendliness Of

Agassiz carried letters from the Royal

with a sounding machine built specially
for the purposes of deep-sca investiga-

Bottom of the Ocean.
Interesting information regarding the
topography of the bottom of the ocean in
the vicinity of the Maldive atolls was OBJ
talned from the soundugs made possible
by this apparatus-the general conclusion
being that the atolls rose from broad
level plateau which forms the bed of the
sea in this locality. The greatest depths
of the lagoons of the composite coral
atolls were found to be not much more
than forty fathoms. In some places the
variations of the floor of the ocean were
very abrupt. the depth OF the water above
them changing from eight TO over twenty
fathoms in short distances. But In the
center of the channel between two OF the
islands 769 fathoms OF water was found,
and in a wide channel elsewhere the
sounding reached 1.292 fathoms-the lat
ter depths representing, apparently, the
normal depth of the plateau.
The smaller atolls vary In size. DR..
Agassiz found. from a couple OF hundred
feet In diameter TO seven miles in length.
Numerous nascent atolls were observed.

the ceremonies.
The erection OF the statue OF Count de
Rochambeau in Lafayette Square is but
another forcible demonstration OF the tra-
ditional friendship between the two ma
tions Such testimonials have been made
before. and in all probability will be made
again. France has taken this method of
reminding Americans that the spirit that
prompted her citizens to help us during
tn. terrible struggle for independence is
still as fresh as ever. And the people
Of the United States have returned the
feeling and the compliment in exactly the
same way.
The Statue of Liberty.
The presentation of the magnificent
bronze Statue OF Liberty that rises beau
tiful and stately above the waters OF
New York Harbor by France is n silent
evidence of this friendship. Again these
