A CITY IN THE SEA.
Ruins Of an Ancient Town on tho Bed
Of the Adriatic-

Ruins OF an Anoien. Town on tho Bed
Of the AdriaticL
Near Rovtgo. on the peninsula of
Istria. In the Adr1atic sea, the ruins OF
a large town are said to exist at the
bottom of the sea. Il had been OBJ
served for some years that fishermen's
nets were 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
vestigate. They sent down a diver,
who, at the depth of 851 feet, found
himself surrounded on the bottom Of
the sea by the ruined walls, undoubt-
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 or window openings. for
they were hidden by masses of eaweed
and incrustations. He traced the ma.
sonry for a distance of 100 feet. where
he had to STOP as his diving cord did
not permit him to go farther.
Some people think that they identify
this lost town with the island men,
toned by Pliny the elder under the
name OF Cissa. near lstria This island
cannot be found now. and 1t is thought
the submerged town may have been a
settlement on the island that so mys-
teriously disappeared.

Of sorrow, expressing the regret the

LIGHT REFLECTION.
Tho Reason Why Foam Always APP

Ihe neason why roam Always APP
pears White In Color.
When water or liquid Of any color ia
violently agitated small bubbles of
air are mixed up with 1t. and thus
foam is formed. and its wilderness is
due to the fact that when light passes
from one medium TO another of a diff
ferent retroactive index 1t Is always
reflected. and this reflection may be
80 often repeated as to render the mix.
ture impervious 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 each particle reflects
light in all directions 30 much light IL
reflected that the mixture appears
white.
To similar cause is due the white
ness of transparent bodies when crush
ed TO powder. The separate particles
transmit light freely. but the reflec
tons at their surfaces are no numer-
Gus that the resulting effect rs white.
Thus glass when crushed Is a white
powder and is opaque. but when 1t Is
put under WINTER II once more becomes
transparent, because the water fills up
the interstces between the particles
and the reflections are destroyed. Salt
and snow are also common examples
Of this condition.

How Roots Penetrate Hard Ground.

How Roots Penetrate Hard Ground.
The extreme tips of delicate root
are protected by a sheath set with
minute scales. which as II Is worn
away by friction against the soil is as
constantly replaced. SO that It acts
as a wedge and the root thread is car
ried down uninjured. Another aid to
penetration lies in the provision where
by the root as II pushes downward in
search Of nourishment exercises a
slightly spiral. screwlike motion which
worms its tip Into the ground. An
other important agent Is the acid cell
sap. which exudes on to and dissolves
to some extent the rock or hard soil.
This may be tested by placing a small
piece Of polished marble In a pot in
which q plant Is set and covering 1t
with earth. After some weeks the
marble will be found to have been cor
roded by the continuous action of this
acid,

 His Home.

John Ruddell has made an ac- ceptable bond for $3,50O, the amount fixed by Judge R. E. lief fiery, and is again enjoying his personal liberty, having return ed to his home five miles north of Tuckerman to join his family and look after the picking of his cotton on the George Gocr farm.

 The motion for a new trial in this case will probably be heard by the court at the adjourned term early in December and in
 he event this is refused, an ap- \ eal will probably be taken.
