IN OCEAN DEPTHS.

Some Of the moss beautiful sights
are found in the seattle. coral reefs
and the sunken gardens, filled with
strange marine plants. Some marine
animals live only in the purest. wa
ter, others only in the foulest water;
for every condition there is life to
At it.
In all ocean basins, hills and ridges,
as well as troughs and deep holes, oc-
cur, and the bottom is covered with
the skeletons of marine animals,
changed by time into slime and stone.
Some Of the animals of the ocean
have no eyes, having no need OF them;
others have hundred eyes.
The largest animal and the tiniest
animal are found in the sea. In places
the sea is 10000 feet deep. Its aver
age depth is over 1900 feet. Twice
every "a hours the water rises and
falls. At the entrance to the Bay
Of Fundy the rise at spring tide is no
less than 70 feet. The natural power
that controls the tide Is tremendous
one.
And the plant life in the ocean is
almost as remarkable as the animal
life. Learned men have been study
ing it for centuries and are only be-
ginning to understand it. If you want
to be interested as no novel can In
terest you, procure book telling in
q simple manner Of the life in the
seas There are plenty Of such books
written fer the people rather than for

ROOSEVELT, ROOT. REVOLUTION

President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Root are excelling Hamilton
in their Capitalization ideas, There
is good deal of it in the Presl .
dents message, and more in Sec-
rotary Roots recent New York
speech, which some people think
was inspired by the President him
self. This speech is construed by
many leading statesmen as a direct
plea for increasing Federal power
to the point of absorbing State
governments, and is not received
with favor even by leading Repub-
Leans. The whole Constitution
would have to be revolutlOnlzed to
carry out some of the policies out
lined in the Presidents message
and Mr.. Roots speech, and the
encrOachment, if not absolute usur-
patton of authority, on the part
of our strenuous President, has al
ready aroused the resentment OF
States rights people, so that there
is not much danger of Congress
submitting or the States ratlfying
constitutional amendments along
these lines Senator Foraker
cuttingly remarks. Il think we had
better hold on to the Constitution, 1"
and Senator Raynor of Maryland
ironically observes that All we
would have to do to put Secretary
Root's idea into effect would be to
write another Constitution Our
dual form of government, with its
local self government of the States
and the restrictions thrown around
the Federal government by tine
Constitution, which jealonsly re-
serves to the States all the rights
not delegated by them to the Fed
eral government, is the best ever

PIANOS WINTER KILLED.
More Susceptible to Extreme Heat or Cold Than Human
 Beings.

Winter killing of pianos," says an expert tuner who has done work fof Paderewski, Hoffman, Arthur Whiting
 and host of other celebrated musi. clans, "is something that most owners of musical instruments take no account Of. Yet 1t is as serious as the winter kliling of shrubbery and needs to be as carefully guarded against.
 ' Especially since all the world has come to. live in steam-heated houses and flats the business that the piano tuner ought to get, and often doesn't, has increased immensely. A piano is really more susceptible to excess of heat and lack of moisture than human beings are
 Tt is bad enough, of course, that men and women will live all winter long in rooms at 80 degrees, with every particle of moisture baked out of the air. They naturally get colds and pneumonia from the experience. Mean time it's just as fatal to the piano, which cannot properly stand more than 72y degrees of the artificial heat
 During the American closed season, as our English cousins like to call it, hundreds of thousands of musical in- struments go to rack and ruin. The moisture is dried out of the sounding board and all the other wooden parts, which warp and twist and disastrous ly affect the action. *4
 Tt is surprising, anyway, how negli- gent people are in their treatment of instruments for which they pay great deal of money. There's lesson for the amateurs in the firmness with which professionals insist that their pianos shall be kept right up to the mark and not allowed to get out of or der in the slightest particular. i
 "In music school, too, the teachers have to be particular in having the in- struments frequently attended to. The pianos in the New England Conserva- tory of Music, for example, are all tuned at least every five weeks" i
