Baltimore, Md. April 19.-"The
bodies of the victims of the Titanic

physics of Johns Hopkins university.
TT is unlikely that any of the
corpses will ever return to the sur
face, as is the case with bodies
drowned in shallow water.
AT the depth Of two miles the pres
sure Of the water is something like
5000 pounds to the square inch, which
is far too great to be overcome by
buoyancy ordinarily given drowned
bodies by the gases generated in
time.
That the bodies sank to the bot

corn in other states and the fame of
the Wisconsin types have combined

swamped the growers. At the agri-
cultural experimental station here or
ders are being turned down daily.
Growers secured such good prices
that they were tempted to sell too
much of their stock. Now there is
not enough left for sale to home far
mers. Enough pedigreed barley viii
be grown in Wisconsin this year, said
/ Prof. r. A. Moore, to cover the en-
tire barley acreage of the United

Several mornings ago young West

looking young fellow into his private
Office and, because he had known his
father, proceeded to administer a lee
ture on the foolishness Of hearkening

it, but 5ithout result. I was in the
ridiculous position of being locked in
my own cellar Desperately I pound
ed on the door, but my wife is 2 sound
sleeper and she had her bedroom door
closed and locked. After an hour
spent in making the most unearthly
noises I gave it up. I tried t, find a
warm place to sleep, but sleep was
out If the question, and I spent the
night walking the cellar door My
wife released me half an hour before
came into the Office, and ! guess that
accounts for my condition and appear
