{ The idea that has prevailed up to a
very recent date that organic life does
mot exist at great depths in the ocean,
mas been exploded by late scientific in
vestigation. AS a matter of fact, the
pressure of water is so great that ordi-
nary articles of wood are compressed
to half their original size il lowered to
a depth Of three thousand feet. If a
human being were suddenly exposed to
the pressure of water at that depth
ne would be compressed to the thin
ness of paper. A diver at the depth
Of ten thousand feet would have
weight upon him equal to several hum
dred Of the greater and heaviest loco

much deeper. however, and soundings
have been made establishing depths of

4 It is surprising how many people
there are in this world who want to
increase the discomforts of life. There
is always bobbing up some professor

And now comes man from Chicago
and tells us that we must not eat
soup. pie, pancakes. buildings and cold
meats, except ham, and apparently
make our principal diet spinach, as

most persons eat more than is good
for them and it is certain that, gener-
ally speaking, food is not well cooked.
But to lay down a law for the human

The announcement that the PennsyI-
vania Railway Company is preparing
to do away with steam engines and to
use electric motors exclusively,
throughout its extensive system, pres
ages the end of the age of steam and
the coming triumph of electricity. The
statement may seem startling at first,
but as matter of fact the railroads
have been experimenting with electric
engines for some time and their event
Nal use was foregone conclusion. Not
only in the matter of speed but in
every other respect electricity has the
advantage over steam as motive
power.

Need Good Farm Help.

South Jersey farmers are confronted
with the usual problem of farm help,
which rises to rob them of sleep about
his time every year. Many colored
men are arriving from the South, as
usual, but in view of recent events the
women ON most of the farms are so
iimid of that class of help that the
farmers are slow to engage them. The
tate OF Miss Atkinson. at the hands OF
Rufus Johnson, who came from North
Carolina as a farm laborer, is still
fresh In the minds of the women, and
they quail at sight Of negro known to
have come from the South. Several
farmers in Gloucester County have TAX.
sn the matter up, and discussed the ad.
disability of shortening the hours of
abor for their employees. Usually the
Farm lab0rer work from sun-up to sum
down, and often after shutdown, which
In summer means from fourteen to
fifteen hours day. His pay is not
great and he has few pleasures. Grad
ually the farmers are coming to realize
the necessity Of improving conditions
In order to secure desirable help. and
many changes are likely to be made In
this respect in the next few years.

Faithful Aunt Chloe Stern Guardian
Of Portal.
A number Of young society girls Of
Washington had assembled at the
home of a friend to receive New
Years calls. Aunt Chloe, the house
hold servant, was pressed into service
as waitress.
The hostess had instructed her,
while she was tying on her big white
apron, that she should present the
trap for the gentlemen's cards. and
while they were taking off their over
coats to bring the cards to her.
At the first ring of the bell all Of
the girls were in a flutter, some even
peering over the balustrade.
After slight commotion the front
door shut and all was quiet.
They waited some time, then Miss
Mamie went to the back stairs and
called, "Chloe, what's the matter?"
Malta nuf. Miss Mamie. Dey were
foah gentlemans trying to git in on
free (three) tickets, and | tole 'em,
No, sab. Youse don'b cum dat trick

In the evening the gentlemen called
again. It seems that one Of the four
had run out Of cards, and no amount
of persuasion would induce the negro
servant to let them in.

It Is the custom OF the New York
papers to sneer at the unsophisticated

judging from the revelations made in

prominent and wealthy men Of the
metropolis were the easiest kinds of
easy marks for parties who merely
proposed to write them UP favorably
or unfavorably. according as they paid
out their cash. generously or not It
is marvellous to read how easy il was
to get large sums OF money ostensibly
as loans or in return for certificates
OF stock whose value bore no proper
proportion to the money paid out,

should have been held up In this way
