The Seas Ventilation.

One of the reasons formerly urged
against the existence of living crea-
lures in the abysses of the ocean was
the supposed absence of oxygen there.
1t was deemed impossible that any
considerable quantity Of oxygen could
exist at great depths. But discoy-
cries of recent date have shown that
there is no lack of oxygen even at the
greatest depths. This explanation is
that the cold water of the polar re-
gions, charged with the oxygen from
the atmosphere, creeps along the bot
tom toward the equator from both poles
and thus carries supply of oxygen
over the whole vast floor of the oceans.
The surface water moves toward the
poles, and so a great system of circu-
lation exists. We're 1t not for this
world circulation, one authority as
sures us, 1t is altogether probable that
the ocean would in time become too
foul to sustain animal life, at least
in its higher manifestations and the
sea, the mother of life would itself be
dead.

THE ANGELUS
MAY BE COUNTERFEIT
Painting Which Was Sold for $4,000
After First Bringing But
5000.


PARIS, Jan. 12.--'.The Angelus.' of
the Chauchard collection of master
pieces just turned over to the French
government and installed in the
Louvre Museum, is said to be co,in-
terfeit. Chauchard, the eccentric mil
lionaire who recently died and as
founded the world by his freakish
funeral in Paris, paid s1ss. $50 for the
picture to an American named Sutton,
of the American Art Association.
Negotiations were carried on through
Frenchman named GARNER, who af-
ter purchasing the painting, it is said,
had it restored GARNER is not to
be found.
"L'Angelus, painted by Milet. at
Barbizon, France, was originally or
dered by an American The price was
to be $780, He refused the picture
which was then sold by Milet to Bar
on Papelieu, a Belgian, for $500. Art
lists do not consider it Milet's master
piece, saying that though only an
ordinary work it has become popular
by reason of its romance. The gen
eral opinion is that if the Chauchard
"Angelus' is genuine, 1t was ruined
