from the official reports so far received
that the vote in Maryland is very close

definitely known, tonight. IN Baltimore
the Indications are that there may not be
a difference of loo votes. Incomplete re-
turns from the counties show unexpected
Republican gains.

almost anyone, and current orders from

No changes have developed in apples.
The supply continues equal to the de-
mand. Oranges are higher, as expected,
but the bulge In price is not serious

ably Lemons are lower on CALIFORNIA;,
but higher on Messinas, which are not in
heavy supply. Cranberries are reduced to

and the supply large enough to answer
any and all demands Of the northwest.
Strawberries have been scarce most Of
the week. and quotations high. Larger
receipts are promised for the opening Of

PREHISTORIC MONSTERS

Still Living In the Sea, Where Pressure
Reduces Tarred Ropes.
New York Sun.
The sea serpent occupied much Of the
attention Of the New York Geological So
ciety at its annual meeting recently at the
Waldorf-Astoria. Director Charles H.
Townsend of the aquarium, who has seen
service on the fish commission steamer
Albatross gave a lecture on 1.-THE Depths
Of the Sea-" and said thatNth is no rea-
son why sea serpents should not live in
the deep waters and even come to the
surface at times.
IF the sea serpent ever is discovered"
said Mr.. Townsend, '1t will probably be
found to be monster living in the deep
sea. And let us start right and call it a
monster, not serpent. It is entirely
possible that fishes as large as a whale
live In the ocean at a depth Of two miles,
If such monsters ever did come to the
surface they would easily be mistaken for
serpents.
1.-THE dredging machines that are used
for deep sea work are intended for small
animals only, and monsters couldn't be
brought up in them But the dredges
have often been subjected to great weight
when at the bottom, and when pulled up
we found that they were torn as tho some
great creature had been caught and had
wrenched itself free.
Inere 1s no Sclent1nc reason why an
cient types should not still be living in the
sea at great depths, and it may be that
they come to the surface at rare inter-
vals The chances for catching startling
forms are very good If we increase the
size Of our dredging apparatus
Mr.. Townsend showed picture Of a
deep sea serpent" which would make
the fortune Of any summer hotel proprie-
tor. He said that specimens Of animal
life had been taken at depth Of four and
a half miles, the deepest soundings made
having been So miles.
1.-THE temperature at great depths is SO
low, even in the tropics" said Mr.. Town
send, that when we were near the equa-
tor and our supply Of ice had given out
we iced our drinks by putting them into
mud drawn from the bottom. The pres
sure OF the water Is SO heavy at great
depths, about one ton per inch to- the
mile, that the diameter Of a tarred rope
has been considerably reduced"
