FLOOR OF THE
OCEAN sounded
discoveries In Reference To The

fof The World.

WThe ocean has been sounded in near
ly all directions with modern app'i-
ances, and these soundings show that
the f1oor of the ocean consists of vast
fndulating plains, lying at an aver
age depth of about two and a half
miles beneath the surface of the
waves. In some places huge ridges
and cones rise from the submerged
plains to within a few hundred
thoms of the sea surface, or they
may rise about the surface as volcanic
Islands and coral atolls. The greatest
depth hitherto recorded is in the Chal-
lenger (or Nero) Deep in the North
Pacific-5269 fathoms. If Mount Ev-
crest were placed in this deep, 26O0

world. The greatest depth in the, At
lantic is in the Mares Deep, between
/ the West hides and Bermuda-4662
fathoms. The greatest dept hin the
Indian Ocean is 1928 fathoms, in the
Wharton Deep, between Christmas Is
land and the coast of Java. We now
know 565 OF these deeps where the
depth exceeds three geographical
miles, ten acres where the depth ex-
ceeds four miles, and four places
where it exceeds five miles.
The sea, as all the world knows, is
salt. 1t is safest where strong dry
winds blow across the surface, as, for
instance, in the trade-wind regions
and in the Mediterranean and the Red
Sea. 1t is less salt toward the poles
and in the deeper layers of the ocean.
1t has long been known that the very
salt water of the Mediterranean flows
as an undercurrent outward through
the Strait of Gibraltar, and thus af-
fects the salinity of the deep waters
of the Atlantic over a wide area. AL
thought the amount of salt In sea
water varies, the composition of sea
salts remains very constant; slight
differences have, however, been no
ticed along the continental coasts, In
the polar regions, and in the water in
direct contact with deep-sea deposits.
The temperature of ocean water
varies at the surface from 2S degrees
Fahrenheit at the poles, to over so de-
grees Fahrenheit in the tropics. The
cold awter toward the poles has an
annual variation of less than 10 de-
grees Fahrenheit at any one spot, and
the warm water of the tropics also has
an annual variation of less than ten
degrees Fahrenheit in band that
nearly encircles the earth; this is the
region of coral reefs and atolls Be-
tween these regions of small annual
variation there are two bands sur
rounding the earth where the annual
variation is greater, and may exceed
in certain regions 40 degrees Fahren-
heit at any one spot.-Harper's Maya

CAUSE OF THE MOUTH
DISEASE IN EUROPE.

Stockholm, Sweden, March 3.-Not
long ago the spread of foot and mouth
disease in Sweden was attributed by
an eminent authority to sea gulls and
other birds, which introduce the germs
of the malady from infected areas in
north Germany. In upper Austria the
disease prevails among the cattle also,
and remarkable explanation has
been offered for it and accepted by
the local authorities. It is the old
recognized custom among young farm
hands on isolated homesteads there
to go counting the maids on other
farms in the evening on the Romeo
and Juliet plan; that is she leans out
the window, while the swain stands
outside just within reach of her hand.
This "Fensternlgehen," as it is called,
is now held to be responsible for the
spreading of the cattle disease through
germs carried on clothes or boots
from infected farms to clean ones.
Alas for romance, "Fensternlgehen'
is forbidden on pain of fines and pun
ishment.

FOR YOUR HAIR
Here Are Facts We Want You to
Prove at Our Risk.

When the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, we do not believe that
anything can restore hair growth.
Rexall "93' Hair Tonic acts scien-
tifically, destroying the germs which
are usually responsible for badness.
1t penetrates to the roots of the hair,
stimulating and nourishing them. 1t
is most pleasant toilet necessity, is
delicately perfumed and will not gum
nor permanently stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic and use it as di-
rected, If 1t does not relieve scalp
irritation, remove dandruff, prevent
the hair from falling out and promote
an increased growth of hair and in
every way give entire satisfaction,
simply come back and tell us and
without question or formality we will
hand back to you every penny you
paid us for it.
We lend our endorsement to Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic and sell it on this
guarantee, because we believe it is
the best hair tonic ever discovered.
It comes in two sizes, prices so cents
and $1.OO. Remember you ca nobtain
it only at our store-the Rexall Store.

and the City Of Sumter will have in it
another Very valuable trade builder

a large and productive terri
tory with which we now have no
trade relations For the County and
City Of Sumter to appropriate the
necessary money, fair and equitable
basis Of division of the amount to be
appropriated being agreed upon,
would not be in anywise a gift or
bonus, but an investment that would
repay the original outlay many-fold in
the immediate future. 1t would be
good business, good policy and in the
line of progress. and we cannot un-
derstand why there should be any
hesitancy or reluctance so to do by
the county and city officials. The ap-
preparation can be validated by ap-
reasonable assurance that a majority
OF the taxpayers will approve this
action, If it shall be referred to them
for their endorsement If the county
and city appropriate the money, no
individual will have to pay more than
few dollars in additional taxes for
a year or two at most, while the very
large majority will pay only a few
cents-sO little in fact, that they will
never feel that they are paying any,
thing. And, furthermore, when the
road is in operation the taxes it will
pay and the taxes paid by the other
taxable property that will be created
by the coming Of the road will
share the burden and reduce the
taxes that we are not paying.
The time for decisive action on this
matter is at hand and the county and
city officials who represent the peo-
pie should make known their views.
