TN UUEAN's GREATEST DEPTHS.
Pressure of Water That Would De-
stroy a BattIeshlp.

More than half the surface Of the
globe is hidden under water two miles
deep; 100000 square miles lie at a
depth of $4,000 feet or more. Many
places have been found five miles
and more in depth. The greatest depth
yet sounded is $1,000 feet, near the is
land of Guam. If Mount Everest, the
worlds highest mountain, were pluck
ed from its seat and dropped into
this spot the waves would still roll
1000 feet above it's crest. Into this
terrific abyss the waters press down
with a force of more than 10000
pounds to the square inch. The
staunchest ship ever built would be
crippled under this awful pressure
like an eggshell under a steam roller.
A pine beam. Is feet long, which held
open the mouth of trawl used in
making cast at depth of more
than $4,000 feet, was crushed fat as
if it had been passed between roll
ers. The body of the man who should
attempt to venture to such depths
would be compressed until the flesh
was forced into the interstices Of the
bone and his trunk was no larger than
a rolling pin. Still, the body would
reach the bottom, for anything that
will sink in a tub Of water will sink
to the uttermost depths of the ocean.
Eugene Willoughby in The Ocean.

POLITICALLY speaking, Lieuten-
ant Governor Eberhart, c. J. Gun
derson of Alexandria, HI. E. Han
son of Window, E. E. Smith of
Minneapolis, A. D. Stephens of
Crookston, Frank Clague of Lam
berton, L. O. Cooke of Kellogg,
E. HI. Garfield of Luyerne, A. S.
Campbell of Austin, J. F. Calhoun
of Minneapolis, E. B, Hawkins of
st. Louis county, and V. B. Sew
ard of Marshall, would make eX-
cellent timber from whom to sell
ect a governor by the Republicans
next year. Either one of these
men would grace the position and
lend dignity to the high station.
In view of the fact that the Re-
publican party needs strong can
didates to get the state back into
the political column into which it
belongs, we would suggest selec-
ton of one of these for governor,
Odin Halden of Duluth, for state
auditor, the present incumbents
for secretary Of state and treas
urer, G.. II. Sullivan of Saltwater,
for attorney general, and Geo. r.

A Plant Prophet.

There has been found recently in
Cuba a strange plant which has ex-
traordinary powers in forecasting not
only atmospheric, but seismic disturb
Rnces. When these are to occur twigs
and leaves perform peculiar move
ments, each having it's definite signifi.
canoe. By observing them weather
forecasts can be made from two to
seven days ahead, and earthquake
forecasts as much as 26 days in adj
vance over an area of 300 square
miles. Volcanic eruption and accu-
mutations of fire damp in mines can
also be predicted.

THE ordinary rules of assessment
in vogue in the state were ignored
by the tax commission in placing
the proposed increase on the min
ing property of the state. There
is not another class of property in
Minnesota that will be assessed on
the same basis as the mines. The
Duluth Herald in editorially speak
ing of the injustice gives some
pertinent facts. The Herald
charged, and believes, that a single
class of property has been picked
out for special assessment because
it happens to lie in one corner OF
the state, because it is different
from other property, and above all,
because part of it belongs to very
large and very wealthy corpora
ton. If farm property, for in
stance, were assessed at the rate
proposed for mining property, the
valuation of the state would be i'm
mensely increased and tax rates
materially lowered. But it will not
be so assessed, this year or any
other year. The Herald protested,
not because the increase costs
anybody cent in taxes except the
iron mining interests, but because
the chief industry of this county,
one that is expected to develop
large manufacturing industries
here if the state does not show an
attitude of hostility toward it, has
been singled out for special attack
by the taxing powers, and because
in fixing the valuation the ordinary
rules of assessment in vogue in
this state were cast aside.

Smoked In Church.

Although the present universal
habit of smoking is of comparatively
recent date, the use of tobacco was
carried to a great excess when 1t
was first introduced. Our ancestors
smoked even in church. All such Of
tenders were solemnly excommuni-
Gated by Urban VIII. in 1924. and
again by Innocence XII. in 1890,
when the practice seems to have ex-
tended to Rome itself. There was
William Breedon, too, vicar of Thorn
ton, "a profound divine, and absolute
ly the most polite person for nativi-
ties in that age" of whom the astrolo-
ger Lilly says that when he had no
tobacco he would cut the bell ropes
and smoke them"

OF some 300 ub-freShmeu who
took the entrance examinations in
English at the state university,
fully cne-half failed to pass and
the university professors are now
wondering whether the high schools
of the state teach the English Ian
guage correctly. The eyaminat-
ions were regarded as easy, and
the students failed largely in the
correct use of small and common
words, while the larger and unusual
words they used correctly.

A Freshman.

A freshman who had entered one Of
the large universities and was not
much accustomed to the ways either
Of institutions Of learning or Of cities
was returning late one evening from a
lecture. When near his lodgings he was
halted by two masked men, who held
him up In true metropolitan style.
One Of the men leveled the convention
al revolver at the young man, while
the other relieved him Of his watch,
pocketbook and other valuables. He
made no mention Of the matter to any
body at the time, but a few days later
he reported it to the president Of the
university.
1T wasn't a great DEAL" he said,
but it was more than I like to lose,
and l think it's an outrage to treat a
boy that way"
'Why didn't you tel me of this soon

answered. 1T was a couple Of sopho-

Weary watches.

you do not know that watches, like
human beings, sometimes don't go for

1t is out OF order. and 1t Is fairly clean.
When it becomes sulky and refuses to

thing to do is to lay It aside and give 1t
a rest. The mechanism in a tired
watch seems to be in perfect condition,
but 1t won't work The fact is that
long and faithful service has thrown
i slightly out of adjustment in perhaps
ten different places. Scraping and
