 The vlhorg manifesto, N. stolypin described as an opera boueffe pro- ducfion. unworthy of criticism.

 M Stolypin pointed out that the parliament as whole was not rep resentative of the country. It included far too many professional and amateur agitators, who had no stake in their own constituencies. In conclusion the premier said;
 There are two distinct movements in Prussia. The first is social and in cIudes the labor and agarian problems. The second is political The former has all our sympathy and will be the object of our attentive study The second will be dealt with as circum- stances dictate. Force is required in all countries to suppress a revolution; but, repeat and cannot repeat too strongly, the reaction finds no place in our program and that the reforms consistent with the highest spirit of liberalism will be carried out when the ground Is prepared"

SOUNDING DEPTHS OF SEA.

territory IA miles wide and 5000 miles
long, and for thorougness has never
been excelled.
The pressure at six miles below the
surface is about five tons to the square
inch, which the tissues of the deep
sea animals are formed to resist.
Some of them are SO soft that they dis
integrate when they are hauled into
the air. All come up dead. The sud-
den and enormous decrease of the
pressure as they ascend and the i'm
mersion in a temperature of so de-
grees from a temperature of 35 de-
grees is enough to destroy any sort of
animal life.
The first accurate knowledge of
deep sea conditions and life was OBJ
tanned by the experts of the famous
Challenger expedition around the
world, beginning in 1872 and lasting
about four years Even the Chal-
lenger, which sounded great depths
and brought up many new animals
and specimens from the ocean floor,
used the old-fashioned and unreliable
rope sounding apparatus. Sir William
Thomson, who devised the machine
for sounding with piano wire, had one
put aboard the Challenger, but the
British conservatism of the explorers
made them stick to the rope which
served them well rather than expert
ment with new tangled things So
Sir Williams device was consigned to
the storeroom.
The United States navy and coast
survey profited by Sir Williams inven-
ton, however. 1t was only few
months after the Challenger expedi-
ton had started that Capt. George E.
Belknap, of the navy, in the steamer
Tuscarora, fitted up for sounding for
submarine cable from California to
Japan, took one OF the wire machines
along. He used it by attaching the
wire to his own improved apparatus.
1t is Capt. Belknap's sounding ma
chine, perfected by then Lieutenant
Commander c. D. Sigsbee, that is
now in use on the most famous and
complete of all sea searching vessels,
the Albatross of the United States
fish commission
This machine is here illustrated. The
globular part is the sinker or shot,
which is detached by the impact of the
rod running through it against the
bottom or by the Stacking of the
sounding wire. The weight of the
shot, including the thermometer. is
about 20 pounds. When the project
ing bottom of the rod is forced by the
weight of the shot into the sea floor it
lifts a valve and fills the cylinder with
specimen soil. The shot is detached
automatically When the rod begins
to ascend the valves are closed and
the contents of the rod are protected

remainder of the expenses of main
tanning the colony.
The site of the place is Indio, Cal,
a mere hamlet, given over almost ex-
clusively to railway employees and flu
gitives from the great white plague.
On what was the bed of primitive

lions of marine clam shells and other
tiny spiral conches, and supporting no
cacti, but only low brush, the Nell
son philanthropy purchased ia acres
of land, at an average of 800 the
acre. The outdoor camp for consump-
ton was then opened, and put in
charge of a general foreman, who was
to supervise the ranches for raising
of the crops indicated.
At first things went well, but it soon
became apparent that sick men can't
work well, and that it would be ex-
ceedingly, difficult to keep up the
farming. AS a result that side of the
venture has been dropped, and the
place is supported almost entirely by

Obviously, the desert camp does not
cure 1t does, however, cause wonder
full rallying. Men have been brought
here on stretchers, and under infiu-
ence of sleeping powders, and they
have been brought to almost perfect
health
The camp itself consists of about
80 tents, set in aShollow square about
field of very long, dry grass Each
of these tents rests on a wooden
flooring. and facing the center, where
there is an open summer house, with
books and magazines and a flagstaff
At one end of the plaza the adobe
cottage of the superintendent is To-
Gated. Inside the area the inmates
drag away time as they can, the
women quilting, the men in lounging
or fixing their guns. Now and then
they go hunting out in the desert for
hare or quail or ducks.
At each tent there burns a gasoline
lamp at night Inside there is a shelf
for the little cup used by the sick,
double iron bedstead, whitened over.
a small iron cot and a table resting
on a rug. These tables have their
oilcloth covers, lamp and books and
papers OLD soap boxes beneath serve
for slowing away other objects.
The tents are practically all the
same size, 12x14 feet To them the
charity furnishes bed and bedding.
chairs, stove and washing utensils
The charity is open to anyone. The
days work at the camp Is most SIM
pie. Patients breakfast at 7:3O on
mush and milk, eggs and coffee At
noon there is soup, a little meat and
potatoes, but no dessert. In the even
ing at five supper is served. SUM-
days are the same.
There are now some 25 persons at
the camp. Those who do not do their
own cooking or eat at the general
mess tent board themselves in tho
hotel.
The idea of the cure, however, out
in the bIistering desert for health is
unique. Something like 1877 miles
