In the National Geographic Maya
zine is an interesting story of the deep
sea explorations of the steamer Al
batross, under the direction OF the
United States bureau of fisheries.
While carrying on her work the Alba
tross has made more than 10000 sound
ings and more than 1000 dredgings.
The greatest depth from which the
Albatross has secured any lie was
Alb fathoms. This was in the south
Pacific between Tonga and Ellice Is
lands. The dredge brought up siliceous
sponges, radi0iarians and brown vol
canic mud. The greatest depth from
which she has brought up fishes is
about three and One-third miles In the
edge of the gulf stream off Virginia.
The deepest sounding made was at sta
ton 1910, near Guam, where the enor-
nous depth of nearly five and one-half
miles was found.
The deepest sounding ever made by
any vessel was by the United States
steamship Nero while on the Honolulu
Manila cable survey, with apparatus
borrowed from the Albatross. When
near Guam the Nero got 1854 feet,
only sixty-six feet less than six miles

QUEER ILLUSIONS.
Morbid Minds That Associate Names
and Numbers With ColOrs.

Numerals have no colors TO you and
to me-" said a psychologist. Three,
for instance. doesn't seem to us to be
pink, and eight doesn't seem to us to
be brown, but there are certain slightly
diseased minds to which almost every
word in the language appears to have
color.
THE odd part Of this matter Is that
when you study the minds that attrib-
ute colors to figures you find them al
most unanimous in attributing to each
figure a particular hue. Thus, they
will say that one is black, two is cream,
three is pale brown, four is red brown,
five is blue. six Is tan, seven Is green,
and so on. Finding among the morbid
so uniform a belief in the blackness or
one, the blueness of five and the green
ness of seven, you almost persuade
yourself that these figures actually
have colors.
Some morbid minds hold that names
have colors. 4 New Orleans glyptolo-
gist says that to him John is blue, AT
lanta is steel gray, Peter is brown, and
so on.
Mankind harbors an incredible num-
Der of illusions. Each one Of us, per-
haps, has an illusion of some sort.
Mine is that if count on getting a
thing l desire l will be surely disap-
pointed. My wife's is that her brother
appears to her in dreams.
81 know a nervous, pallid woman
who attributes certain perfumes to GER
tain sounds. A soprano voice to her
is like lilies of the valley. A tenor
voice is like roses. A cOntralto voice Is
like heliotrope. A bass voice is like
violets."

Trlumphs of rlodern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections OF veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied 10
wounds, bruises, burns and like in
iuries before inflammation sets in,
which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one-third the time
required by the old treatment: Cham
berlain's Pain Balm acts on this same
principle. 1t is an antiseptic and when
applied to such injuries, causes them
to heal very quickly; 1t also allays 'n ~,
pain and soreness. Keep a bottle OF
Pain Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not to men

which such injuries entail. For sale
