Deep Places In tho Sea.

Some surprising ocean depths
around Porto Rico have been discov-
cred by officers of the United States
dispatch boat Dolphin, who are max
ing soundings.
These seem to confirm the theory
held by photographers that the Allan.
tic in the vicinity Of Porto Rico and
Bermuda is OF the greatest known
depressed area, except that in some
few places in the Pacific. Reports re-
ceived at the navy department In
Washington from the Dolphin state
that the record of 1861 fathoms OBJ
tained by the Blake in 1882 has been
surpassed by one made about seventy
miles westward Of the position OF the
greatest previously discovered depth
In the North Atlantic. The Dolphin
found bottom after 4.662 fathoms lover
five miles) of wire had been run out.
This is said to be the deepest spot SO
far found in the entire Atlantic.
AS compared with depths ascertain
ed in other parts of the world. these
soundings indicate that the next deep
est places found In the Atlantic are In
the Caribbean Sea south OF the Grea.
Cayman. where the oceans bottom wa
touched at 1924 fathoms.

Tortoise Is n sIouser.

A Philadelphia woman who dislikes
both cats and mice has discovered a
novel substitute for one as an exter-
minator of the other. This substitute
is nothing more or less than an ordi-
nary land tortoise.
Ever since last summer, when the
tortoise was added to the family circle
by the woman's youngest son, aged 8,
she has noticed that the mice, with
which the house had previously been
overrun, were gradually disappearing.
1t was not until the other day, how
ever, that she discovered the cauae.
She was sitting very quietly with some
fancy work. and the tortoise, which
has the liberty OF the house, was ap-
parently asleep in corner. Presently
little mouse made its appearance.
and the tortoise opened its beady eyes.
Round and round ran the mouse, get
ting nearer and nearer the tortoise
as though fascinated. Finally it was
within striking distance. The tortoise
darted out its head, there was a snap
of the jaws, tiny little squeak, md
the mouse was dead.
Then the tortoise calmly and DELHI
erately set to work, says the Philadel-
phia Record to eat its victim

Crane. tho only Inhabitants.

In Minnesota there is a picturesque
island that is uninhabited by man and
given up to the cranes. When the In
dians held full sway these birds decid
ed upon this spot as a summer resort.
AS time went on and no white man
had the temerity to disturb them they
became sole owners, until now this
island is pointed out from passing
boats as one of the curiosities of the
country.
1t is estimated that 5000 cranes
make there home there in the summer
season. and they can be seen wading
out in the water, ducking their long
necks, and heard emitting peculiar
squawk to warn off intruders.
The nests are made of very large
sticks and are often the size OF a
bushel basket. They are usually built
on some substantial tree. In the years
that have passed since this region was
first settled by white men only one or
two attempts have been made to land
on the island. and these have resulted
disastrously.

The deepest known spot in the
South Atlantic ocean is a place OF
4,030 fathoms, lying eleven miles south
of the equator OFF the Brazilian coast.
The most depressed portion of the
crust of the earth so far recorded is in
the North Pacific ocean, and was dis
covered by Lieut.. Commander H. NJ.
Hodges in the Nero, who measured a
depth of 5,269 fathoms. This deprcs-
sion is nearly equalled in depth by an
area lying short distance east Of the
Kermadec Islands in the South Pacific
ocean, where the British ship Penguin
ran out 5,142 fathoms of line in 1895.
The deepest place in the Indian
ocean, according to United Seates sur
veys is where about 1928 fathoms
have been found. In the Antarctic re-
gions the greatest soundings taken
show 1895 fathoms, and in the Arctic
ocean a depth of 1850 fathoms has
been reported.

Odd Drinking Cups.

When every man got drunk and was
proud of it. in olden days, much in
genuity was expended in the construc-
ton of queer and elaborate drinking
vessels, and many such are yet to be
found in museums, especially in Ger
many
One, preserved in Berlin museum,
represents Diana mounted on a stag
and surrounded by hounds and hunts
men. The cup consists of the hollow
body of the silver stag, the head of
which is removable. The piece stands
IA inches high. 1t was made at Augs-
burg in 1910. 1t is also an automobile,
propelled by clockwork concealed in
the base.
Trick cups, which drenched the un-
initiated, were very popular Another
variety contained wine and water in
separate compartments. The drinkcr
who did not know how to manage
them filled his mouth with water,
though the cup was apparently full of
wine.
