Pressure of the Sea.

There are spots in the ocean where
the water is five miles deep. If it is
true that the pressure of the water
on any body in the water is one pound
to the square inch for every two feet
of the depth, anything at the bottom
of one Of the five mile holes would
have a pressure about it of 1920 feet
to every square inch. There is moth
ing of human manufacture that would
resist such a pressure. That it exists
there is no doubt. It is known that
the pressure on well corked glass
bottle at the depth of 800 feet is so
great that the water will force its way
through the pores of the glass; 1t is
also said that pieces of wood have
been weighted and sunk in the sea to
such a depth that the tissues have be-
come so condensed that the wood has
lost its buoyancy and would never
float again. 1t could not be even made

scene ever witnessed within Mexl-
can prison occurred yesterday after
noon when vice consul Leonard dis
tribufed to the American prisoners in
the penitentiary the supplies which had
been contributed by the American resi-
dents here.
The leniency with which the gov
eminent is treating the prisoners is a
surprise to the officials. The men are
not to be held incommunicado, but are
to be allowed to have Saily exercise in
the penitentiary patio.
When Mr. Leonard, with his arms
loaded with supplies of clothing, food
and tobacco entered the prisoners were
taken out of the cells. which in tiers
enclose the patio and were lined up
under guards
The eagerness of the Americans to
obtain clothing was intense.
For weeks they had been garbed
in rags with their shoes worn out by
the long march from Casas Grandes-
Soap. matches, combs and toothbrushes
were the first choice when the roll
was called The sudden appearances of
so much luxury occasioned much in
terestamong the native Mexican pris-
oners. who peered wistfully eout Of
their cells, unable to share in the dis
tribution.
Each American was provided with
a complete suit of clothes. shoes and
q bundle containing soap, towels and
tobacco. Each also was given a sum
of money The status of the Ameri-
cans was formally fixed in the peni-
