SOME NORTH SEA FACTS.
The Bottom of This Body of Water Is
Only 12o Feet Deep


Only 12o Feet Deep.
The North sea is so shallow that q
vessel can sail from London to Ham
burg in water not more than 120 feet
deep except for one short stretch. II
this depth could be decreased one
half-that is, the bottom of the. North
sea raised sixty feet-the Islands of
the Frisian shore would be linked to-
gether in an even coast line, a belt of
land ten miles broad would be added
TO the Danish coast. multitude of low
Islands would spring up off the Eng
lish and Belgian coasts and a great is
land would rise up in the Dogger bank.
In case a sudden upheavaI lifted the
bottom of the North sea 800 feet, or one
third of the length of the great Ger
man liner Imperator, the new coast
line would run round the Orkney is
lands and then from Peterhead through
the Skagerack to Sweden with a con-
tinuous band that would form a sort
of new Zuyder Zee. Could the bottom
of the North sea be elevated distance
half again as much as the length of
the Olympic the British islands would
become part of the continent and the
liquid remains of the North sea would
be a large lake occupying the greater
part of the present Skagerack- And
this would mean that the greatest fish
ing ground in the world would literally
be ground With the North sea just as
it IS and as it is likely to remain for
uptold ages England takes two-thirds
of her whole fish supply from this shall
low body of water. Scotland three
fourths of her supply. Holland practi-
cally the whole of her fish and Ger
many one-half of all the fish brought
into her ports.

STATE ORGANIZATION TO MAKE INSPECTION OF HOT SPRINGS
 THIS MONTH.
inspectors Will Be Here April 23 to Look Over the City and Make sue-
 go3tions to Property Owners.

For the prevention of fire risks, and to the end that fire losses will be lessened, everywhere, the Arkansas Fire Prevention association of Little Rock will have corps of inspectors in Hot Springs on April 23 for the work of looking over the city and making suggestions to the property owners.
 The object is to reduce the number of preventable fires. and anything else that reduces fire cost to the in- dividual and thus of course rebounds to the public good.
 The institution is purely a public enterprise, aimed and directed for the purpose of preventing fire losses through inspections and through a careful survey of the fields.
 Of course fire prevention every where means lower rates of insurance and lower rates of insurance means saving to all the property owners of the state.

TRIBUTE TO MRS.
 MARTHA THOMPSON

Last Easter night. while the city was wrapped in quiet slumber, with out pain or struggle, the gentle soul of Mrs. Martha Thompson took it's flight to the great beyond. In her usual health she bade her children good night, not moment in the dark valley, or shadow between the worlds. She closed her eyes upon the scenes of earth to open them up on the brighter visions of eternity, where her spirit has had another morn than ours.
 Mrs. Thompson was native of Ar kansas, born at Magnet Cove, IA miles from this city, 52 years ago. At that place she was married and lived un- til her death with her husband, where with her six children, four boys and two girls. she came to the city to live. She has reared them all in the Chris tian faith, and each of the young men have become bonored and respected citizens of this and other cities. She has one brother, Joe Chamberlain, 2 prominent citizen of Malvern, who with his excellent wife, have adopc. ed the two little daughters.
 The obsequies were very impress i've. Rev. Forney Hutchinson spoke of her beautiful Christian life, of her heroic struggle to overcome the many obstacles, as a widow without means she was compelled to surmount, and of her earefulness in the moral and Christian training of her children, he urged them to live right and emulate her example. The Central Methodist church choir rendered her favorite hymns. Hunter Thompson. her cid est son. is a member of the choir and an officer in the Epworth league. Be sides the many beautiful floral de- signs sent from friends and societies here, there was one of large dimen- sions sent from Oklahoma City by d Christian Endeavor society to her son. who is close friend of it's president. At the conclusion of the services at the house, the remains were conveyed to the Rock Island station and car. ried to Butterfield, where convey ances were waiting to carry them to the family burying ground at Magnet Cove. More than 25 friends of the family accompanied them and though the rain was falling a crowd of old neighbors and friends had gathered to pay their respects to the departed and extend sympathy to the family After the conclusion of the ceremo- nies by Brother Hutchinson and the placing of flowers, the company left for home
 May the great Father of us all com fort the family who mourn an irrepar- able loss and guide them by the coun. ciis of His will and grant them all through Christ a uniting with their mother in heaven.
