THE FACE THAT SMILES.

Brother. YOU are gazing backward, toward
the scenes of your mistakes;
You are weeping Ger your errors till your
proud heart almost breaks.
You're repenting and regretting, you are
signing, Oh, alas!
And you're missing all the glories of the
present as they pass.
Leave the grim and grewsome picture
look the other way awhile.
For the face that's toward the future is
the face that wears a smile.
You are lost in contemplation Of the blum
ders you have made;
You are signing DER the countless times
your soul has been dismayed.
But the futures sun is shining on the fu-
lures verdant trees.
And the futures birds are singing-you are
missing all of these.
Cease that useless gazing backward, look
the other way awhile,
Fer the faces toward the future are the
only ones that smile.
When your back is toward the future then
the blazing lamp of hope
Throws your shadow DER your landscape
and with blinded eyes you grope
For the blessings that had vanished with
the times they strove to bless;
Face about and you'll discover all your
groupings fruitlessness.
You'll be dazzled by the glory Of the pros
pect for awhile.
But with face turned to the future you will
learn to wear a smile.

MOUNTAINS OF THE ATLANTIC.
Submarine Peaks That Are as Well
known Those of the
Alps or Andes,

Some facts concerning the config-
uration of the submerged Atlantic con-
tinent are given in London Strand.
The Laurel Ethel mountain is the ut
termost peak of one of the most cele-
brated of the submarine elevations in
the Atlantic. 1t was discovered in
1873, and figures on all recent charts.
Adjacent surroundings showed depth
of 1000 fathoms, so that the discov-
cry of depth of only SO fathoms Gre
ated much surprise. 1t has been re-
peatedly explored by the sounding
line, until now, after a quarter of
century of acquaintanceship, its con-
tour and characteristics are almost as
well known as many peaks of the Alps
or Andes.
Mount Chaucer was revealed to
oceanograpers in 1850. 1t is situated
in latitude AZ degrees so minutes, long
itude rs degrees so minutes, and its
crest is only As fathoms from the sur
face. The honor of being the first dis
covered mountain in the Atlantic be-
longs to Sainthill, in latitude AZ de-
grees so minutes, longitude AZ degrees
20 minutes. 1t became known to sci
ence in 1892; that its existence was un-
guessed until three-quarters of a CEN
fury ago is strong testimony to the ex-
IRENE novelty of oceanography. 1t is
not less than 10000 feet high, and its
summit is 100 fathoms from the sur
face.
An interesting group of submarine
mountains, 5000 feet high, consider
ably more lofty than the Snowdon
range, has recently been found in lati-
tude 43 degrees, longitude % degrees
30 minutes. To these have been given
the name of Edward the Seventh range,
the peaks being named after members
of the royal family Mount Tillotston
Bright, in latitude As degrees 10 min
utes, longitude ~ degrees so minutes,

high, in the North Atlantic. In lati-
tude As degrees, longitude AS degrees,

be drained dry, a lofty range of hills
and mountains. The peaks of some
of them come dangerously near the
surface. Mount Placentia, in latitude
As degrees. longitude "a degrees, lacks
but five fathoms of being an island.
The deepest indentation into the
earth's crust is probably in the Pa
cific, but there are some cavernous
depths now well defined in the At
lantic. OF the latter ocean four miles
and a half may be taken to be the
greatest depth. The average depth of
the whole ocean may be taken as about
two English miles. Contrary to
former opinion, recent research has
clearly proved that the greater depths
do not lie in the middle of the ocean,
but in the neighborhood of the dry
land. The latest ascertained depth of
the waters covering the earth is thus
stated by Prince Albert of Monaco,
following Prof. Krummel, to be the
average in fathoms: Atlantic. 2,012;
Indian. 1,S2s; Pacific, 2,125; Antarctic,
1904; Arctic, S44; Mediterranean, 1872.
