Federation OF Labor. opened the cam
patgn against Congressman LittIetield. in
his own district here tonight when ne
took the platform and sounded the toe
sin for organized lstor in It's attempt
to secure the election of members who
win at least admit the fairness of
laboT's challenge in connection with the
coming election.
Given an Ovation.
Mr.. Gcmpers arrived here today and
was met at the station by representa-
tiyes of tte various labor organizations
IN Lewiston and vicinity and escorted
TO his hotel. At dinner this evening he
was the guest Of numerous city officials
and Maine Democrats" something Of
an unusual proposition here, but owing
10 the interest aroused by the present
campaign there we're many more than
even Jhe promoters Of the meeting be-
lieved could be interested.
A procession through the streets was
followed by a r0using meeting at which
President GompeTs reiterated the state
ments made by the campaign committee
Of the American Federation of Labor IN
launching it's political campaign. He
called attention TO the fact that for
many years labor representatives have
been unable to secure even the ordinary
recognition upon the floor of either OF
the TWO branches Of Congress, and cited
the many bills that have been killed
simply because they were preferred
measures" OF the American Federation
Of Labor.

Stand Shoulder to Shoulder.
Mr.. Littleheld, like Speaker Cannon,
indulges in lengthy declarations advo-
eating common equality, but it begins
TO look now as though he was not in a
position to know what common equality
was. The time has arrived when every
man who works for a living should
stand shoulder to shoulder to oppose
the common enemy and elect to your
national legislative body only such men
as will stand by their fellows"
Mr GOmpeTs will make twelve
speeches through this district in the
next week. and already arrangements
have been made TO secure him the
proper escort and a good attendance at
all meetings.

Fur. Not Away. What They Seem.

Does the average fur buyer know
that the far eastern mink is simply
dyed marmot with the black stripes
painted in with a toothbrush? Does
the buyer know that the low priced
black lynx sets are nothing but COM
mon wildcats or Roumanian cats or
in some cases soft Chinese wolf skin?
Does he know that the white ermine
pillow muffs selling for song are
really weasels, and yellow weasels at
that, since a white weasel commands
almost as high a price as its dear rela-
tive. the ermine? Then the sable lynx
scarfs and NUTS that sell for few
dollars are Of course nothing but coney

there was as much smuggling as was

there was only one penalty. What

THE OCEANS BOTTOM.
Two Vast Valleys Traverse the BE,
of the Atlantic,

Two Vast Valleys Traverse the Bed
of the Atlantic.
The Atlantic ocean covers two vast
valleys. One of these passes between
the Cape Verde islands and the Azores,
and it is Of great depth. 1t runs close
up to Europe and comes to an end close
to the British Isles, where q ridge or
crest of land separates it from the
basin of the North sea. The otser val
ley runs in the main parallel to the
frs. from which it is separated by an
elongated strip of land, Of which the
Azores forms supermarine continu-
alton This strip does not exceed a
depth Of $3.50 feet, while its height
amounts to $3.50 feet. The first valley,
like its confrere, is also very deep, its
bottom being situated at a depth Of
nearly four miles below the surface.
Passing along South America and leav-
ing the Bermudas to the left it passes
along Newfoundland and Labrador,
finally ending just south of Greenland.
The sub-Atlantic landscape thus con-
sists of two vast parallel valleys or
mountains. Farther north the land lies
higher, and the sea is, relatively speak
ing, shallow. Between Greenland and
the continent. close to Iceland and the
channel islands, there is huge plain
free from any depression worthy of
mention. 1t is quite clear that at one
time England was connected to the
continent-Scientific American.
