THE OCEANS FLOOR.

While carrying on her work for the
Bureau OF Fisheries, says the National
Geographic Magazine, the Albatross
has made more than 10000 soundings,
and more than 400 dredgings, and has
brought up from the bottom Of the sea
hundreds of tons of fishes and other
animals and mud.
The greatest depth from which the
Albatross has secured any life was
4173 fathoms. This was in the South
Pacific between Tonga and Ellice ISL
ands. The dredge brought up sillslous
sponges. radiolarians and brown vol
canic mud. The greatest depth from
which she has brought up fishes Is
2949 fathoms. or about one and third
miles. This was in the edge OF the
Gulf Stream off the coast Of Virginia.
The deepest sounding ever made by
the AlbatroSs was at Station 4OlO, near
Guam. whore the enormous depth OF
4s13 fathoms. or nearly five and half

WHITE SHOES THE FASHION.

A supply OF white low shoes is now
ready, and glance at them assures
Us OF their coming popularity.
White buckskin walking shoes are
not TO be confounded with the oxford
ties. They are made with n 1at last
extension soles and medium weight
with Cuban heels. A wide strip of
ribbed white ribbon Is drawn through
the single eyelet placed on each side
over the rise Of the instep, and this is
tied firmly in a neat bow.
Yachting shoes, with cotton laces,
are made of white buckskin, with the
fattest Of lasts, and the rubber exten'
sion sole. The importance Of wearing
rubber solpd shoe, which will not
scratch the decks, will be recognized
by yachtsmen.
