The young noble was clearly p~erplexed.
When his uncle. the princes confidential
adviser died. many II varied were the
effects that had come into the mobiles pos
session. but. of them all. the old yellow
manuscript had greatest hold upon his
curiosity.
Good reason, too, had he for being puz-
zled. The parchment told of a wonderful
treasure hidden deep in the centre of a
great mountain which stood on the border
OF the kingdom. Now, the young noble
was by no means wealthy for one OF his
high station. and 1t behooved him to bet
ter his fortunes as best he might But
who ever heard of anything buried in so
strange a manner. Could he believe the

With SO important a matter the noble
could trust no one. so it was with all
secrecy that he journeyed to the top OF

For many days following he delved

Goodness, but I wish that I could
sleep" said Tommy, as he threw aside
the cover and sat up In bed. Everybody
else is sleeping, l know, and here / roll
and toss about and become more wide
awake every minute. Maybe the noon
light has something to do with It," So
jumping up he walked over to the window
and commenced to draw In the blinds.
AS he stood there q bright light, exact
ly like a great golden ball Of fire, sailed
across the sky and fell slantingly to the
| earth. and right in Tpmmys garden, not
fifty feet from where he stood. Though
slightly startled at first Tommy quickly
remembered that only a few nights be-
fore his father had told him all about
meteors. and that small pieces Of other
worlds, far up In the sky. frequently
broke off and flew around in space, pass
ing through the air so quickly that they
became red hot and blazed like a Roman
oandle ball.
"Oh, pshawl that's nothing but one Of
those meteors. Geel but It was a big one
though. l wonder what kind Of a world
It came from and who lives there. My,
but I would like TO visit it and see the
people" And Tommy, Instead Of getting
back into bed, rested his arm on the sill
and gazed out into the beautiful night.
Tommy. oh Tommy. are you awaken
he heard a qu~eer-sounding little voice call
out from the garden, after he had been
there a short time. I've come a long
distance tonight and l want to see you"
who are you and where did you come
from and what do you want with me so
late at night?' Tommy called back, ask
ing three questions without stopping to
take breath.
Tim Prince Handsome, son OF the King
of the Golden World. and l come from
that world tonight, just for the pleasure
of the ride. / heard you say that you
would like to visit the world that the

JACK'S
SATURDAY. TALK
NY pear Bows

NY Dear Boys n Girls:
The pressure of the water at a certain
depth below the surface of the sea is
enormous, and the fish that live there are,
in consequence, liable to a strange form
of accident.
II, in chasing their prey or for any
other reason, they rise to a considerable
distance above the floor of the ocean,. the
gases in their bodies become expanded
and their specific gravity Is greatly re-
duced.
Beyond a certain limit the muscles are
not strong enough TO drive the body down,
ward, and the fish, becoming more and
more distended as IL goes, Is gradually
killed on its long and involuntary jour
ney to the surface of the sea.
The deep sea fish. therefore, are exposed
to a danger that no other animals In the
world are subject to-that of tumbling
upward.
1t is probable. also, that shallow water
forms of fishes would be similarly killed
were they suddenly plunged into very deep
water.
The captain of a United States survey
steamer once told a strange story about
the effect of deep sea pressure. The YES
sci had been on a long cruise and was
down near the tropics on Christmas DAY.
The holiday was observed as well as pos
sible, and one of the features was a good
dinner. There was champagne on board,
but the weather was hot. There was no
ice. and the question was how to cool
the wine.
During the cruise the steamer had been
making deep sen soundings. and the cap
tain and officers thought that by sinking
the bottles far down In the sea they would
find water as cool as ice. They imme-
diately sent down a lot on a wire for
refrigeration.
At the proper time the bottles were
drawn up, placed on the table, and found
to be delightfully."- chilled. When the
steward opened them. however, there was
no pop" to the cork. and the wine look
ed fiat and bad on being served.
What was the establishment and disgust
of the officers. Upon tasting 1t, to find
that it was pure salt water, instead of
sparkling champagne.
The solution of the matter seems very
simple. At the depth to which the bottles
were sunk. the pressure vas so great that
the salt water was forced into them
through the pores in the corks, and, be-
ing more dense than the wine, 1t complete
1y absorbed It. Yours truly.
UNCLE JACK.
