For a great many years doctors pro- nounced ita local disease and prescribed local remedies. and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurabie. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

LIFE IN ocE..N.
Professor of Cambridge Eng.) Uni
Versity Tells Some New and
Interesting Facts.

J. Stanley Gardiner, of Cambridge
university, has been exploring the
Indian ocean and gives it as his opin.
ion that at one time there was land
connection between Ceylon and Mad
agascar. But it is in describing the
wonders of the deep that his report
grows most interesting. "a very con-
siderable variety of deep-sea fish was
brought up he says. AT least half
the number we secured seemed quite
new specimens, and, believe, are
not described in any textbook. Some
OF these had enormous eyes, some
only rudimentary eyes, the size of
pins head, while some had no
eyes at all.
One OF the most interesting dis
coveries we made was that floating
life is exceedingly abundant at all
depths down to about 1000 fathoms
in seas $500 fathoms deep. By float
ing life l mean animals which form
the food of whales and deep-ocean
fish, and which up to the present
have been believed to live on or very
close to the surface. A variety of
enormous squids was fshed out as
well as jelly fish and gigantic prawns
fully six inches long. Some of these
latter were blind, while others had
huge eyes, but nearly all of them
had phosphorescent organs, which
would naturally be due to the fact
that they live at depth where al
most total darkness prevails.
The blind varieties had enormous
feelers, or tentacles, some of them
extending to twice the length of
their own bodies. Some forms, such
as the water flea, which is only about
the size Of pins head in surface
water, we discovered six or ten times
that size in GOO or 700 fathoms."

to determine, but it is a fact that
the tendency and drift of such an
increase of power, legally or
otherwise vested in a President,
is not for the good of our free in
situations and perpetuation of
American freedom. This country
wants a man Of brain and will
power to fill it's most exaulted
station but it does not want a
Gar; it wants an unwavering dis
Greet man, but not an cratic die
tator. A President is not sup
posed to be above the wholesome
influence Of wise council as is
clearly the case with Mr.. Roose-
welt. A man or any set of men
who will seek to blend together
the duties and privileges of CO.
ordinate branches of our govern

patriotism as is necessary for the
perpetuation of a republic and
the sooner they retire the bet
ter it will be for our govern

patronage, standing in with the
Administration is costing too
much. It looks like many mem

order to stand in.
