Deep Sea Animals.

NATURALLY the fish of the deep por
lions of the ocean are carnivorous, no
vegetable life being found below 200
fathoms," writes w. s. Harwood In
Harper's Magazine. "In the Atlantic
ocean the vast Sargasso sea, containing
100000 square miles of surface-a
great marine prairie as large as the
whole of the United States exclusive Of
Alaska and dependent islands-affo
vegetable food for uncountable ami
mails, which in their due time die and
ares precipitated to the depths, their
bodies in turn to be eaten by the ami
mails which live far below all vegeta-
ton. So it is throughout the whole
ocean; animal life is constantly falling
from the surface waters for the sup
port of the animal life of the abyss. A
very large number of the deep sea an
imals are exceedingly tenuous or trans
lucent in form-so to put it-haying no
special organs of nutrition, but taking
in their nourishment through the walls
of their bodies, appropriating from the
water the food which suits them. Some
Of them have bony structure, skele-
ton, which they form also from the
water, silica and carbonate of lime be-
ing the chief skeleton forming mate
rails"

Attention, Subscribers.

We have before called attention to the
fact that Assessor E. r. Mading when
making his rounds of the parish would,
in way, represent the Banner; but,
knowing the forgetfulness of the general
reading public, we are inclined to make
this announcement. Mr.. Mading will
not be an actual paid agent; in fact, he
has refused to be remunerated for his
service, which he looks upon as but a
small favor to the editor and our readers.
He will not solicit subscriptions to the
Banner or ask for money from delin-
quents. However, if you want to "get
square" with us you can find out from
him what you owe on subscription and
he will also issue receipts to those who
want them after having paid money over
to him. We hope that this arrangement
will be mutually beneficial and that
many of our old subscribers Gas well as
prospective onesl win remit through
Mr.. Mading.

Lombard had to be content with 8.
A prominent farmer near Elkton
says that for cheap dentistry he
can recommend the North East

afternoon he stopped in to see the
game at that town and had scarcely
entered the grounds when foul

RISING SUN VS.. NORTH EAST.

The champions journeyed to
North East and came home with a
better opinion of the ball playing
abilities of the clay digging aggre-
cation than they had at the con-
clusion of the game the week
previous. In fact, the North
Casters not only played the pennant
winners to a standstill but sent
them home defeated. The visitors
presented a somewhat patched up
team and while playing a sharp
game in the field did little stick
work. Mackinson and Reynolds
pitched fine ball, the former hav-
ing shade the better of the argu-
ment, in that he was able to keep
the hits scattered. With the score
A to i against them in the sixth in
ming North East took a rally at
the bat and with three singles and
double scored three runs, tying the
score. A single, a base on balls
and a double in the eighth resulted
in two runs and cinched the game.
England lined out three Dagger
in the sixth, but was thrown out
trying to reach home, which niped
in the bud an excellent opportunity
for the champions to do some scor-
ing, as Hall, the next man up, hit
for two. bases but was left. The
