Floor of the Pacific Ocean.

If the waters of the Pacific could be
drained, there would be revealed a
vast stretch of territory comprising
enormous plateaus, great valleys for
which no parallels exist on the land
surface-lofty mountains, beside which
the Himalaya and the Andes would
look like hillocks, and tremendous hol-
lows or basins, only to be compared
with those on the face of the moon.
While there are great mountains, and
huge basins or 'deeps," the plateau
areas are by far the most extensive.
Relatively speaking, the floor of the
Pacific as now at last revealed on the
plateau areas, is level. Tl.are are I'M
duiations and depressions, but the gen
eral area. is about the anne depth be-
low the surface.
s~kotfndings develop a mean depth of
@Fefn $500 to 2,700 fathoms. In shoal-
err spots there is a mean depth of from
1900 to 2,400 fathoms. Deeper spots
show from $500 to 1900 fathoms.-

The Unknown Swamp.

miieS Of casxGs
largest and most energetic of the
Southern cities of the coast, and on the
border lands of two of the oldest
Southern States, there lies a district
some two or three hundred square
miles In extent, but little better known
at this day than it was $50 years ago
when George Washington himself laid
out a route through its wilderness.
The name alone, 1.-THE Dismal
Swamp" Is a by-word everywhere.
When the spring is far enough along
for the wild honeysuckle and jasmine
and the arbutus vines to be hanging in
delicious masses over the sides of the
bitches and reaching down to the red
brown water, of a color so clear and
warm and sunny, then there is a fes-
tival time in the Swamp. Companies
of young people come from the villages
living around the borders of the
swamp, twenty or thirty at a time,
with some slight camping outfit, en-
bark on large, fat-bottomed dugouts
that draw but little water, and then
are poled up the bitches for ten or
twelve miles from the fertile farm
lands of tho outer world to the saw
agely luxuriant beauty of a lake hid
den in the midst of the wilderness.
Then at a camp on the lake shore they
spend a night or two, fishing in the
lake, polling along its shores, doing a
little shooting perhaps, much dancing
In the evenings and merry-making, I'M
til they are poled out again, often by
a different route. A real spring fes-
tiyal that has been a habit in that
country for many years.-Leslie's
Monthly.

Treat Catarrh in Spring.
The spring is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold. wet winter weather often retards a
cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna is
taken during the early spring months the
can be no failures if Peruna is taken inte1li-
gently during the favorable weather of
spring.
As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the system wher-
ever it may be located. 1t cures catarrh
of the stomach or bowek with the same
certainty as catarrh of the head.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna write
at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a full state
ment Of your case, and he will be pleased
to give you his valuable advice gratis.
Address DR.. Hartman, President of The
Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

CANADA's DIAMOND FIELDS.
Mines as Rich as Those of South At
RIGA, Perhaps, Near Hudsoz's Bay.

Mines as Rich as Those of South At
RIGA, Perhaps, Near Hudsoa's Bay.
Somewhere in the far North, south
of Hudson's Bay, lie undiscovered dia-
mond fields as rich as those of South
Africa. At least, this is the assertion
of Professor w. IL. Hobbs in an article
written for the Popular Science
Monthly.
In proof of his remarkable statement
Professor Hobbs has prepared a map
which shows within a few hundred
miles where the great diamond belt
may be found.
The reason of his investigation was
the discovery of the following seven
diamonds in Wisconsin and adjoining
States:
Oregon diamond ............ 4 carats
kohlsVille diamond ..........2 II carats
Saukyille diamond ........... & carats
Burlington diamond .......... 2 carats
"Dowagiac stone" ...........1 earats
Mlliord dlamond ............. d carats
These diamonds were picked up by
farmers who were ignorant of their
worth, and kept as curios for years be-
fore their true value was discovered.
The Saukville diamond was kept on
the clock shelf of a farmhouse for six
teen years before it was recognized as
anything but a curious bit of bright
quartz.
The Eagle stone was kept for sew
en- years and then sold to a Milwaukee
jeweler for a dollar, neither buyer nor
seller having any idea Of its worth.
Perhaps the strangest fact about
these discoveries that attracted the
attention of Professor Hobbs was that
the soil in which these seven diamonds
were found was not in any case the
kind from which diamonds could be
produced.
In spite of all the digging and delv-
ing that followed every discovery no
second stone was eyer found.
Professor Hobbs soon discovered
that all these diamonds, besides a
number of smaller ones, had been
found along the ridges of land formed
millions of years ago by the great gla-
ciers that had moved down from the
north.
He at once concluded that the pre-
cious gems had been carried to the
places where they were found by those
moving icefelds hat are known to
have existed long before there was n
life or this planet.
When at last the glaciers stopped
and melted, the diamonds which they
had carried on their backs were
dropped upon the ground, to be dis
covered ages afterward by Wisconsin
farmers.
The important question, therefore, to
be answered Is: At what place did
the glaciers pick up the diamonds?
Professor Hobbs replies by tracing
seven lines northward from the places
where the stones were found, showing
that they come almost to a point just
south of Hudson Bay.
monds. says Professor Hobbs, must
be in the wilderness of Canada be-
tween the points where the several
tracks converge upon one another. 1t
is by no means improbable that when
the barren territory about Hudson
Bay Is thoroughly explored a region
for profitable diamond mining may be
revealed New York World.
