IN OCEAN DEPTHS.

Some OF the most 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 10000 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 10 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. III you want

NATERWoRKS OF ATHENS.

water galleries in the vicinity of the

same point, the azora, other similar
pipes of square section, covered with
slabs of baked earth, radiated in the
direction of the smaller streets.
The antiquity of this system of
canalization Is beyond doubt, insomuch
as the character of the works in con-
nection with 1t is as old as the Roman
and Byzantine epochs. Much knowl-
edge also was obtained respecting the
supply OF water to the inhabitants of
the capital from the many expert
mental cuttings and trenches.

Curious Results When Coffee Drink

1t 10 almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as 1t Is for
a whisky or tobacco fiend to break off,
except that the coffee user can quit coz.

without any feeling of loss of the

well boiled and served with cream, IL

most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur it
is like the flavor of fine Java.
A great transformation takes place in

after coffee is left off and Postum Food

DEMOCRATS ASSA|L
THE PRESIDENT
Charge Him with Hopping
on the Railroad
Rate Bill
LEADERS HIGHLY lNCENSED
Claim He Surrendered to Railways
on Eve of victory-Dolliver De-
clares that Roosevelt Did Not Flop
Praises Senator Allison for Aid.

Washington, May 3.-Yesterday'
debate in the senate was in some re-
spects the most remarkable of all of
the long discussion on the rate bill.
1t was marked by severe attacks on
the court feature of the Allison amend.
ment, to which President Roosevelt
gave his Endorsement. Such able
democrats as Bailey, Raynor, and
Tillman addressed themselves to this
subject and to the task of showing
that the president had surrendered.
Tillman presented a statement show
ing that at the presidents request
through ex-senator Chandler, the
White house negotiations had been
entered into with Bailey and Tillman
to unite the democrats with those re-
publicans that favored rate legisla-
ton. Attorney General Moody,
Bailey and Tillman had conference
and an amendment to the bill was
prepared, consisting of Senator
Lodges narrow review amendment
and the Bailey provision for no sus-
pension of rates by temporary in
functions. This the president in
dorsed and Senator Tillman asserted
he was assured by Senator Allison
1t would have % republican votes.
Negotiations were proceeding favor
ably when the president, without the
knowledge of Moody, Bailey or Till
man suddenly changed front and took
up with the Allison amendment, CIV
ing the courts jurisdiction and fixing
the venue and made the announce.
ment to this effect.
The point of Tillman's statement
was that the president had reversed
himself fatty at the very time when
he might have got through a narrow
review amendment. Tillman and
Bailey roundly assailed the president
for what they deemed surrender on
the eve Of victory.
Senator Dolliver, among other re-
publicans, came to the presidents de-
tense and held that he had not sur
rendered. He praised the president
for his leadership in the rate fight.
In his remarks, he spoke of the part
he had in the rate contest and paid
warm tribute to Senator Allison as
his counsellor and guide. He de-
clared that Senator Allison, who had
given his life to the service of the
American people, and who was ram
liar with the methods of legislation,
was satisfied with the bill as it has
been shaped, and that this statement
yesterday of reasons why under this
measure the courts would not exer.
else broad review was the best that
had been made and covered the sub.
| ject completely. Senator Dolliver
warmly maintained that the presiden'
had not surrendered.

A New STYLE.

Artificial and ribbon flowers will
now have TO take back seat in favor
OF a new style that has made its APP
pearance in the New York shops. The
new ones are made from Japanese
palm fibre, and are so natural in APP
pearance that it is quite impossible to
tell them from the real article. This
is particularly the case with carna-
lions and American Beauty roses, for
further resemblance to nature is
added by their being perfumed like
their natural prototypes. SO far as the
expense goes, they cost but little more
than the natural flowers.
