The private retreat of Davy Jones
has been at last discovered, and this
fact is noted AS a triumph of Amer
lean geographical science, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. The deepest hole in
the oceans bottom is found 100 miles
from Guam, a recently acquired Amer
lean territorial possession. 1t is about
five miles deep, 28,878 feet, practically
the height of Mount Everest. This
hole should not be COMPOUNDED with
Davy Jones' locker generally. The
sailorman recognizes the entire salt sea
expanse as the LOCKER" Davy stand
ing for the evil spirit presiding over
the demons of the vastly deep, visible
to the eye of superstitious Imagination
as a monster of gigantic mein, having
an enormous mouth, three rows Of
sharp teeth, huge eyes and nostriIs
emitting blue flashes. His particular
headquarters have been unknown UNI
til the Albatross discovered and faith
Omed it, amid great professional and
lay excitement. The place where the

Cities hard to Kill.

1t is difficult thing to kill city.
and there are some well known places
that have SO much vitality that they
will survive any number of disasters.
Take Rome as first example. No
fewer than ten times has she been
swept by pestilence. She has been
burned twice and starved out on six &C.
casions. Seven times she has been be-
sieged or bombarded. But she still
iourishes. Perhaps that is why she is
called the Eternal City.
Paris has had eight sieges, ten fam
ines, two plaques and one fire which
devasted it. We make no reference to
the number of revolutions, as they are
too numerous to mention. But Paris
still flourishes.
Constantinople has been burned out
nine times and has suffered from four
plaques and five sieges There are
some people who think that many Of
the sultans have been as bad for the
city as any pestilence. And yet she
goes on.
Lastly there is the English metropo-
lis. London began as kind of mound
in swamp. In her early history she
was sacked, burned and all her inhab-
itants butchered. She has been deci-
mated by plague five times, exclusive
OF typhus, cholera and such maladies.
She has been more or less burned seven
times. She is thriving in spite of all.

William Gibbs, $50, the War
denis runner, fell off the wall at a
point near the southeast corner
Monday afternoon, and is now laid
up in the hospital. He was carrying
a box from the Office to the War
denis house, and lost his balance
as he was walking along the wall.
He fell about fifteen feet, striking
on his head and left shoulder, and
was picked up and taken to the
hospital in a semi-conscious con-
dition. DR.. Merrill says that no
bones are broken and that the man
will probably be about again in a
short time.

$aperstiticns Hbout Bees.

The superstitions which connect bees
with the death or sickness of the men,
bers of the particular family in which
they are kept are interesting. In Scot
land and Ireland the entrance of bee
into cottage, more particularly if it be
bumblebee, is looked upon as GER
tain sign of the death of some one then
residing there. In other localities if
bees in swarming settle upon dead wood
it is regarded as equally ominous.-Ex.

inferred that he is having pleasant
