KANSAS cOAAENT
PAWPAWS.

The first light frost of the year has
mellowed up the pawpaws. This week
few pawpaws came 10 town, but not
many; for with the narrowing fringe of
timber about the Kansas streams the
pawpaw is becoming rarer and rarer.
The Indian. the coyote, the movers
wagon, the saloon. the hoop snake. and
the pawpaw, which is a fruit of the
wilderness, is only standing on the order
OF its going In another decade the
pawpaw will join the "innumerable
caravan" The pawpaw links the civil
lied man of Kansas to his neolithlc
forebear. Men ate pawpaw VS. before they
built fires, before they polished their
weapons of war and defense. There
fore the pawpaw takes Us back into
the days that were.
Smell pawpaw-hold it to your nose

water and cool, sunny days of the tu--

the pawpaw and you feel your youth
and JOY and the secret places in the
WOODS. What a world Ct memories

Depths of the Sea.

The depth of $3.50 metres to which
the sounding line of German survey
ship is said to have sunk in the Pa
cifc ocean near the Philippine Islands,
is some 1000 metres deeper than the
previous deepest sounding. Of the total
water surface of the globe, 145, 000, 900
square miles, about one-third, stands
more than three miles above the bot
tom of the sea, but until now no part
of the great oceans has been discov-
cred deep enough, to submerge Mount
Everest. But If there is no mistake
about the depth of $3.50 metres (32,0Ss
feet). the worlds highest mountain
could be sunk there until its highest
peak was 5000 feet below the waters
level. The deepest soundings have all
been made in the Pacific; %, $50 feet is
the record of the Atlantic, in proxini-
ty to the West Indian island of st.
Thomas; while the North Sea only av-
erages 300 feet. or about one-tenth the
maximum depth of the icy waters of
the Arctic ocean.-Westminster Ga
