LIFE IN OCEAN.
Professor of Cambridge Gng.) Uni
versity Tells Some New and
Interesting Facts.

]. 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, l believe, are
not described in any textbook. Some
of these had enormous eyes, some
only rudimentary eyes, the size of
a 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 fished 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 600 or 700 fathoms."

Many Smokers Prefer Them to IOc
Cigars. Annual Sales Eight
Million 5000, OOO.)

The popularity of Lewis Single Binder
straight &c cigar is largely due to the fact
that this factory always uses thoroughly ripe
and perfectly cured tobacco, thus giving the
smoker rich, mellow tasting cigar. The
tobacco is from crops showing the best quail
ity and is graded fancy selected. Smokers
have found that they can always depend on
the same high standard of quality in the
Lewis Single Binder. The Lewis Singe
Binder Factory is one of the largest holders
of fancy graded tobacco in the United
States. Lewis Single Binder cigar gives the
smoker what he wants and at the right price

Hopeful for Isle of Pines.

Havana, Cuba.-S. Pearcy, the spe-

here Wednesday from Washington. He
says he had sufficient votes in the
United States senate to defeat the SOW

present a continuance of existing con-
ditions in regard to Isle of Pines in the
hope the Dick resolution will eventu-
ally prevail, after which Cuba will be
unable to induce the United States
congress to relinquish temporary SOW
ereignty over the Isle of Pines.
