The extreme range of temperature in
the ocean never exceeds 81 degrees f.,
yet temperature has played more i'm
portant part in the distribution Of ma
rine organisms than In that of the air
breathing and warm blooded animals
Of the land. The surface waters of the
ocean have five well marked tempera-
ture areas--an arctic and antarctic cir
cumpolar belt with small range and
low temperature, Chronological
belt with small range and a high tenn
perature and two intermediate areas
with large annual ranges of tempera-
ture. Vertically, the ocean may be d.
vided into the superficial region, ex-
tending down to about 100 fathoms,
and the deep sea. The surface region,
especially near the land, has variety
of conditions and an abundant fauna
and fora, but plant life is absent in the
uniform conditions of the deep sea, al
though animal life is abundant. The
warm surface waters of the tropics
have many species, but relatively few
individuals, while the reverse Is true
in colder regions DR.. John Murray ac-
counted for all the various facts in
marine life distribution by supposing
that in early geological times the whole
globe had uniform climate and an
almost universal fauna and fora. The
coral reefs of the arctic circle in the
paleozoic period were probably formed
when the water had temperature of
about 70 degrees +.

The Air of London.

There Is no fresh air in the heart of
London. according to the conclusions
Of a recent Investigator. He says: mo
evidence Of ozone was anywhere ap-
parent except at Brownswood park, In
the northeast. 1t was from the north
east quarter the wind was blowing,
and the air had lost all trace of ozone
before 1t had reached Hyde park. At
Bushey park, although practically a
country district, no ozone was present
In the air. London had not only alb
stracted the goodness out Of the air
that swept over 1t. but had added to it
the exhalations from the breath and
bodies of millions of human beings and
Of tens of thousands OF animals. Per-
sons living within one or two mile
radius Of Charing Cross cannot have
fresh air entering their dwellings at
any time"

Trouble For Government Clerks.

Congress makes lots of unnecessary
trouble for the government clerks"
said a veteran employee, ''but the
worst case know Of occurred some
years ago. A certain senator asked
the comptroller of the currency to tell
him how much stock a certain man
had in national bank. He was in
formed that such information was re-
garded as confidential and could not be
given out"
We'll see about that" said the SEN
ator, who was plainly disappointed and
displeased.
Several days later he secured the
passage of a resolution calling upon
the secretary of the treasury to furnish
the senate with the names and holdings
of the stockholders In all the national
banks In the country. He really want
ed to know only the interest Of one
man in bank, but he knew that he
couldn't get resolution of that kind
through the senate, so he included the
stockholders in all national banks. It
took the entire force of the comptrol-
ler's office several weeks to prepare the
Information, and when 1t reached the
senate nobody paid any attention to It
except the author of the resolution, and
he merely looked at the mass of papers
only long enough to see about the man
he was after and then tossed the pa
pers aside. 1t was an immense lot Of
work for nothing. Washington Star.

Great Canal. a. Panic cau.er..

''The effect of opening the Suez ca
nal" writes William R. Stewart In the
Technical World Magazine, was so
marked in the first confusion which 1t
introduced into the business world that
it constituted one of the prime causes
Of the universal commercial and indus
trial panic Of 1873.
by transferring the distributing
points for trade from England to the
Mediterranean ports of southern Eu-
rope it terminated the vast warehouse
distribution system Of the former coun-
try and led to the disappearance Of the
class Of merchant princes who hitherto
had monopolized the eastern traffic. As
1t was with the owners of English
warehouses, 90 it was with the owners
Of hundreds Of sailing vessels and the
dealers In six months bills. For the
Suez canal, by bringing steamers into
use in place Of the sailing vessels
which had been making the 5000 mile
longer voyage around the Cape, ena-
bled a cargo to be sold and delivered
within a month after the order had
been sent, and business men without
capital were able to borrow money at
a low rate and supplant the old estab--
lished houses In the eastern trade"

HOW THE TIGER KILLS.
Never Faces His Prey, but Attacks 1t
en- the Flank

Never Faces His Prey, but Attacks II
en- the Flank.
/ have taken considerable trouble to
ind out how tigers kill large game.
Some time ago I was asked to come
and see a full grown bullock that had
been killed by tiger. On examining
1t found the animal had It's neck
broken, and there were claw marks
on the nose and shoulder, but nowhere
else. There was no doubt that the
tiger had jumped at the bull and land
ed on the shoulder, and when the bull
turned his head to gore the tiger he
must have put his claw out and with
sudden jerk broken the neck.
On another occasion l went to see q
young buffalo which had been killed by
a tiger and found the same thing had
happened. There we're similar marks
on the nose and also on the near shout
der, which clearly indicated that this
animal had been killed In the same
way. Malays who have actually seen
O6CA nAAAA6 q JULIAN bOiu Auc luty
saw the same thing happen; also that
In dragging off heavy carcass, such
as buffalo or bull, he gets most Of the
weight across his shoulder.
This must be fairly correct, as 1
have often followed a kill, and the
marks left indicate that only a portion
Of the animal was trailing along the
ground. l have known a full grown
bull, which ten men could not move,
dragged for two miles by a tiger in a
heavy jungle, where roots of trees and
swamp had to be gone through. In no
case have | seen the pug marks facing
the wrong way except when stopping
to feed. which proves he must carry a
portion Of the animal over his shout
der.
The old idea Of tiger killing large
game by blow from his paw is non
sense; besides, In India a tiger never
faces his prey, but attacks him on the
flank unless charged Another curious
fact that may seem very like a fairy
tale is that tiger does not seem to
mind small lamp being tied over q
kill about ten feet high, but will come
and feed. | have known three ocea-
sions when this has been tried, and
each time a tiger has come to feed
upon the carcass.-London Field.

CARDINALS, HATS.
they Are Never Worn and Are Not
Intended to Be Worn.

They Are Never Worn and Are Not
Intended to BE Worn.
The most famous hat in the world Is
never worn and Is not intended to be
worn. Yet it is not a freak hat or
merely hat turned out to show what
q certain factory can do. 1t is the car
dinaPs hat, the symbol Of cardinals
dignity In the Catholic church. and 80
completely is 1t the mark of that dig
nifty that ito receive the hat" is every
where used as meaning that person
has been advanced to the cardinalate
Of the Roman church.
The cardinals hat Is Of scarlet cloth
lined with scarlet silk. 1t is round and
very fiat, with practically no depth
and no place to fit on the crown Of the
head. On each side of what serves as
a crown are red silk cords, holding If
teen red bell shaped tassels. These
hang down ON either side of where the
cardinals cheeks would be If he could
wear his hat and are arranged in five
rows, the irst row having one ball, the
second row two balls, the others three,
four and five respectively.
To confer this hat calls for a stately
ceremony. II the newly chosen cardi-
nal lives out of Italy papal ALLOCATE
Is sent to him to confer the red berretta
and the pail, but he does not receive
the hat except from the pope himself.
When the new cardinal reaches Rome.
which he must do within a year after
he receives the berretta, the pope APP
points day for actually comforting
the hat. A public consistory is held,
attended by the pope and by all the
cardinals in Rome; mass is sung, the
new cardinal lying fat on his face
while prayers and lessons are read;
then he is led by two attending cardi-
mails back to the hall of the consistory,
where with many prayers the pope
himself rests the hat on his head, say
ing:
Receive this red hat 1t signifies
that even to death and the shedding Of
blood thou shouldst show myself In
trepid for the exaltation Of the holy
faith, the peace and repose Of Chris
tan people, the increase and mainte-
nance of the holy Roman church"
Then the cardinal kisses the pope's
foot, and his holiness retires. The car
dinal then exchanges the kiss of peace
with all the other cardinals, who then,
turn by turn, make visits Of congratu-
lation to him as he sits In his chair.
This red hat was given first in 1915
by Innocent ~. at the council of Lyon.
Even when cardinal gets his hat it is
of no use to him so long as he is alive.
Only after his death is 1t used 1t may
be permissible, but not Importantly
useful, to wonder where 1t is kept
meantime, but at the cardinals death
1t Is brought out and laid on his emf
nence's bier, at his feet, and when the
funeral and entombment are over the
red hat is hung up over the place Of
interment In the cathedral church,

Mohammedans divide themselves into
two principal sects-Shiah and Sunni,
the Persians representing the bulk Of
the former, the Turks of the latter.
The chief points on which they differ
are the condition of the soul after
death and the succession Of callphs.
"The Sunni belief Is that there is one
immortal God, whose works are with
cut beginning or end, and that he will
be visible to the souls of the blessed,
while the Shiahs deny the Immortality
Of the soul and maintain that the CO.
existent principles of Zoroaster viii
forever contend for the mastery"
With regard to the prophets success
sors, the Sunnis claim that the lawful
successor of Mohammed was Abu
Bekr and after him Omar, Osman and
Ali, nephew and son-in-law of Moham-
med. The Shlahs, however, reject the
first three and hold that Ali was the
only legitimate successor. Shiahs pray
but three times day and enJofn pill
grimages to Nejef, Kerbela, Kazimain,
Meshed PERSIA. Samara and Kun as
well as to Mecca and Medina. Sunnis
make pilgrimages only to the two lat
ter cities and pray Ave times a day.
From this it can be readily understood
that the circumstances of the Turks
being In possession Of the shrines OF
Nejef (Meshed AID, Kazimain and Ker-
bella is most displeasing to devout
