a CITY IN THE SEA.
Ruins of an Ancient Town on tho Bed
of hssAdriatio.

Ruins Of an Ancient Town on tho Bed
of thssAdriatis.
Near Rovigo, on the peninsula Of
Istria, In the Adriatic sea, the ruins Of
a large town are said to exist at the
bottom OF the sea, 1t had been OBJ
served for some years that fishermen's
nets we're sometimes entangled In
what appeared to be masses OF ma
sonry, Of which fragments were
brought up from the sea bed, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. A diver declared
that he had seen walls and streets be
low the water.
The city authorities decided to In
vestlgate. They emit down a diver.
who, at the depth OF S51 feet, Z sfund
himself surrounded on the bottom OF
the sea by the ruined walls, undttubt-
edly the work Of man. Continuing his
explorations. he traced the line of
walls and was able to distinguish how
the streets were laid out. He did not
see any doors OF window openings, for
they were hidden by masses Of selweed
and demonstrations. He traced the ma
sonry for a distance Of 100 feet, where
he had 30 stop. an bis diving ccrd did
not permit him to 80 farther.
Some people think that they identity
this lost town with the island men
toned by Pliny the elder under the
name of Cissa. near Istria, Thi b island
cannot be found now, and it is thought
the submerged town may hav,s been a
settlement on the island that so mys-
t~eriously disappeared.

LIGHT REFLECTION.
Tho Reason Why Foam Always APP
petrs White In Color.

Ths Reason Why Foam Always APP
pcars White In Color.
When water or liquid OF any color is
violently agitated small bubbles Of
air are mixed up with 1t, and thus
foam is formed, and It's Wilderness is
due to the fact that when light passes
from one medium to another OF a diff.
ferent retroactive index it Is always
reflected, and this reflection may be
g often repeated as to render the mix
ture i~mpervtous to light.
1t is, then, this frequency of the re-
Elections Of the limiting surfaces of
air and water that renders foam
Opaque, and as eaeh particle reflects
light In all directioiIs SO much light is
reflected that the mixture appears
white.
To a similar cause is due the white
aess of transparent bodies when crush
ed to powder. The separate particles
transmit light freely, but the refec-
tons Mt their surfaces are SO numer-
GUS that the resulting effect is white.
Thus glass when crushed is a white
powder and Is opaque, but when it Is
put under water 1t once more becomes
transparent, because the water fills up
the interstices between the particles
and the reflections are destroyed. Salt
and snow are also nm examples
of this condition.

STEEL AND IRON
REVISION FIRST
Leader Underwood Makes
Known His Plans

Washington, Dec. 29-Representative
Underwood, chairman of the ways and
means committee and majority floor
leader OF the house. has made It known
that the tariff program has been pretty
weIl mapped out by the Democratic
party. Apparently little cognizance Is
taken Of the tariff boards report:
According to MIR. Underwood. the
first tariff bin to go through will be
Que providing for revision OF the iron
aud steel schedule. The reductions in
this bill will approximate 80 per cent
on tonnage iron and steel and 10 per
cent on the higher grades Of the man
ufactured product. After this the chem
ical schedule will be tackled and them
sugar. BY that time, Mr.. Underwood
hopes. the Democratic clerks Of the
ways and means committee will have
completed the comparison they have
been directed to make between the
tariff board figures and the Democratic
sta tistics uron which the wool bill OF
the special session was based. After
the wool bill has been passed a SINH
lar comparison win be made between
the tariff board figures on cotton and
the committees statistics. This com
yrehensive tariff program win moi be
completed. the majority lender believes,
until some time In March. even under
the most favorable conditions. he ex-
plains the rushing to the front Of the
steel, chemical and uRa schedules
which have not been reported upon by
the tarin board, and the relegatsnn to
the rear Of wool. which has been. and
cotton. which is about to be, by the re.
iuctance Of the majority to accept the
tariff boards figures as dnal and to
their insistence upon thorough inspec-
tion aud comparison of the boards sta
tistics with those already at hand.
Leading Republicans charge, how
ever, that the intention of the Demo
Gratis to Ignore and beiittle the tariff
board as much as possible is apparent
Ii was very plainly indicated by Mr.
Underwood that the ways and means
committee had no Intention OF delay
ing the sugar revision bill in order to
get the report OF the Hardwick special
commission OF the house, which ever
since early In the special session has
been investigating the ramifcations
and activities OF the sugar trust
AS a matter of fact. Mr.. Hardwick
and his colleagues devoted much OF
the time OF their inquiry to an effort to
demonstrate that sugar might be put
on the free list without working injury
to the sugar growers Of the United
States. Some of the members of the
committee think they have succeeded
IN 70 doing
But Nj. Underwood is against free
sugar. as he was against free wool. on
the ground that the present finances OF
the country do not warrant such an
enormous reduction In revenue az
would be brought about through legis.
lati0n that would remove entirely the
duty on these two products There Ia.
OF course. 4 sizeabie free sugar faction
IN the house. just as there Is a free
wool faction. and 1t viii be the task OF
Mr. Underwood and the other conserv
atiys leaders who had control Of the
house during the special session and
who. unless all signs fail. will retain
their power this winter, to keep the re
Gnction within bounds.
