A recent British scientific expedition
discovered hat the Indian ocean float
ing life is exceedingly abundant at all
depths down TO about 200 feet in seas
$4,000 feet deep. BY floating life is
meant animals which form the o OF
whales ana deep ocean fish and which,
VI to the present, have been believed
to live on or very close to the surface.
A variety of enormou sQuids were
fished out, is well as jcllytish, and
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 u to the fact thas
they live at q depth where almost to-
tai darkness prevails. The blind va
r1eties had enormous feelers or ans
tennae, some of them extending &c
twice the length Of their bodies.

About Rats.

DR.. Danysz of the Pasteur institute
in Paris finds that rats can contract
a special disease to which other an.
imals are not exposed. He has sue.
ceeded in obtaining the bacillus of
the disease. 1t is necessary only to
soak bread or grain in a bouillon of
the microbe culture and allow the rat
to eat it, when they contract the NAL
ady and usually die within FIVE to
twelve days. A number of expert
ments have already been made with
the new method, especially in the sew.
ers of Paris, which are full of rats,
and very good results have been OBJ
tanned. 1t vas proved during the ex-
periments that the young rats are the
most sensitive to the action of the
microbe. The new rat-exterminating
culture is coming into practical use
in Paris and especially at the Bourse
de Commerce, where it is used to pro-
tect the deposits of grain.

HE NOW HAS
MILWAUKEE,
HARTMAN SAID TO HAVE PUR'
CHASED LINE THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
All But Officially Confirmed in New
York Commercial lnterests-Sys-
tenn Will Add Six Thousand Miles
to Union-Southern Pacific Lines
and Give New Opening.

The reported sale of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad to e
II. Hartman through the medium of
the Southern Pacific has been all but
officially confirmed in New York com
mercial interests, says the Omaha Bee.
The deal will, when the st. Paul road
is extended to the coast, give Hartman
a northwestern as well as a central
and southern outlet to the Pacific
coast. 1t is stated that the deal in no
way affects the proposal TO build the
st. Paul on to the coast.
Definite Information.
Rumors that the Union Pacific mag
nate had been trying to get control of
the st. Paul have been circulating for
some time. Definite information on the
subject has just been given out in New
York.
The plan was help up, it is stated,
by the refusal of some Of the directors
of the st. Paul to give their consent,
but now it is declared the Standard
Oil interests represented by William
Rockefeller have sided in with the deal,
making it a sure go.
Two Methods of Operation.
There are two methods of accom-
plishing the result and which of the
two has been adopted is not announced.
One is the leasing of the road to the
Southern Pacific and the other involves
the sale of a controlling interest in the
stock outright to the Southern Pacific,
The terms of the latter proposition are
said to be the exchange of 100 shares
of the Southern Pacific preferred stock
and $4,000 cash for each 100 shares
of st. Paul common stock and the ex.
change of 100 shares of Southern Pa
cific preferred and $12,5O0 cash for
each 100 shares of st. Paul preferred.
Large Addition to System.
The acquisition of the road will
make a large addition to the Hartman
system. The Union Pacific operates
5,557 miles Of road, the Southern Pa,
cifc 1884 miles, the Illinois Central
4,374 miles and the st. Paul 6,911 miles
a total of 26,126 miles under Harri
mans control.

FOREST TRAGEDY
BAsY MOOSE THAT CAME TO AN
UNTIMELY END.
Mired for Days Knee Deep in Mud,
His Rescue Came Too Late-Grati,
tude Of Little Creature Toward His
Would-Be Preservers.

Not n hunter in a hundred ever
gets a chance to see a tragedy of the
wilderness. Not n in ten thousand
ever has the opportunity to earn the
gratitude of one of its denizens. Ar.
thur l.. Gillian has had both. and
photographs that he has brought
home show just what has been his
fortune to see and to do.
With R. NJ. Grant, Mr.. Gillian re.
Gently went to Maine on a hunting
trip. The two gentlemen are fami
liar with every lake, bog, mountain
and stream in the great wilderness be.
tween the Allegash and the upper
M~unsungan. They knew the haurts
CT the big game there and their rides
brought down their share of the spoil=
Of the chase. But one morning Mr.
Gillian came across a moose-a b1by
moose-which could not escape his
rife had it been able. 1t was mireL
knee deep in the'mud on the border CT
the little stream which connects CleSI
lake with the Fifth Musquedock. II
was plain to see that the little fellow
had taken refuge there to escape one
of its enemies-perhaps a bear or a
lucivee, as the natives call the Cana.
da lynx.
Mr.. Gillian had his camera with
him. He got as close as he could
without miring himself, and before
the little fellow grew frightened he
was able to get a fine photograph OF
the baby as he stood in the mire, help
less and forlorn.
When he got back to camp Mr.. Gil
lam told Mr.. Grant, and two days later
the two hunters sought the spot again
to see if the little moose was still
there. He was and apparently in
more distress than ever.
The poor little fellow ought to be
got out" said Mr.. Gillian, lust for
his pluck"
So they chopped down trees and
brush and Don built a firm founda.
ton around the tiny moose and an.
other for themselves. Then with
ropes and much pulling Int hauling
they finally got him on solid ground
The little moose vas all gratitude. He
licked the hands of his preservers and
showed absolutely no fear at their
presence, though moose are among
the most timid animals that inhabit
the wilds.
But the long exposure and his many
struggles, together with the lack OF
food, proved too much for even this
little sturdy son of the forest. Soon
his limbs gave way and he sank to
the ground, played out. The hunters
worked over the little fellow, but their
efforts were useless. He died, licking
their hands in his mute thankfulness
for what they had done for him.
Mr.. Gillian was among the luckiest
hunters in that region. He got the
one moose and the two deer allowed
by law. The moose was a splendid
bull, with horns that had eighteen
points and measured ifty-one inches
from tip to tip. Each one of the
three was dropped with a single shot
from a 1903 caliber Savage.-St. Louis
