A Coin In the Sea.

A coin dropped into the sea will sinl;
to the bottom, however deep it is, owing
to the fact that the metal is heavier
than the volume of water that it dis.
places.
1t is common but mistaken notion
that the density of the sea increases
with its depth and consequent pressure
as does the density of the atmosphere
which we all know is greatest at the
earth's surface. The air, however, like
all gases, is elastic, and, when under
pressure (as with its own weighO,
shrinks in volume and gains in density.
Water. on the other hand, is abso-
lutely incompressible, and. although the
pressure in the sea increases at the
rate of about one pound for every two
feet we descend, the density of the wa
ter remains the same; consequently the
penny continues to outweigh the water
it displaces and the coin sinks until ii
finds a solid resting place. The pres
sure of the water has no influence at
all on the coin, acting as it does on all
sides equally.

PRESIDENTS CANAL MESSAGE.
Considered Snappy and WeII-Writ.
ten Document.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The presi-
dents message, laying before con-
gress the status of the Panama canal
question and reviewing the events
that have finally eliminated in the
independence of Panama, was well re-
ceived by the house and senate. The
president shows by official dispatches
and other documentary evidence that
Colombia's attitude in the rejection
Of the Hay-Herran treaty was unwar-
ranted and the action of Panama, who
felt injured by the apparent loss Of
the canal, was justified.
There is, in the light of the presi-
dents statements, but faint room for
the inference that the administration
fostered the revolt before declaration,
but he shows that the natural and
proper line of action by this govern
ment in protecting American lives and
property and free transit across the
isthmus could not but be favorable to
the cause of the new republic. He
closes with the statement that we are
committed to the building of the canal
and have passed the point where the
Nicaraguan route can be considered.

This state of things obtained up ia

Empress Josephine brought ii forward

in her beauty Was an irregularity OF

delicate little handkerchief, which from
time to time she raised to her lips.
Thus she was enabled to laugh occa-
sionally. Seeing that it was case of
either laughter going out or handker-
chiefs coming into fashion, the court
ladies adopted the pretty pieces of cam
brio and lace.

For some unknown reason there had
been but one candidate out for the
nomination for member of the board Of
supervisors, John r. Hacker, of Long
Creek township, and when this nominal
tion was reached there seemed to be a
disposition on the part Of the delegates
to spring someone else as candidate,
B. w. Keller of Leon, and James Lillard,
of Garden Grove, being placed in nomin-
alton. Hacker however, having made a
canvass, was the winner in the contest,
but B. w. Keller developed unlocked
for strength and had he been announced
as candidate few days before the
convention, would have been easily
nominated. The result of the three bal
lots was as follows:
