FISH IN THE FROZEN DEPTHS
What Has Been Found in 7OO-Mile
Abyss Called Bartlett's Deep at
Southern End of Cuba.

Cuba ends to the south in a huge
hammer of mountains 5000 feet
high, and sleeping sheer into the
sea. The wall does not end there,
but continues it's precipitous descent
into the 700-mile-long abyss called
Bartlett's Deep. This gigantic sub
marine valley is nearly four miles
deep and eighty miles wide
At mile and a half the pressure
of the water is nearly two tons to
the square inch; the ooZe that comes
up from such a depth, though the
equator runs overhead, is cold as
boar frost; it is ten times certain
that no vegetation can grow there.
AS in our world, none but the veg
etables are able to make food, it
ought to follow that in the depths
of the sea there should be no animal
life. AS a matter of fact, these
glOoms are inhabited by the most
grOtesque and chimerical of all fish
es 1t would seem as though in the
darkness life had taken every imagi-
nable license to be ugly and bizarre
Cannibalism is evidently the only
method of life, and it's equipment
runs to every kind of extravaganza
There are fish with teeth so long
that they cannot close their mouths,
fish that draw their stomachs over
prey larger than themselves, fish
with no more mouth than
leech, and getting their living as
leeches, fish with huge myopic eyes,
and fish frankly blind Probably
none of them comes from depths
quite beyond the region of light, al
though great many of them go
poking about their ghouliSh business
furnished with lanterns of the glow
worm type.-London Times.

The seIf-Deceired Penitent.

1t is reported that a gentleman
who owned a line of steamers on
which liquor was sold was converted
in revival held by Rev Sam Jones.
He Immediately went to the tele-
graph office and telegraphed the cap

liquor overheard. That was a strong
evidence that his repentance was

Gently received a letter from a per-
son stating that he once deceived the
mayor to the detriment of another
person, but now he has got religion
and feels it his duty to undeceive
him. The mayor responded in the
following letter which makes good

case wrongly, an that you make this
confession to me because you have
become christian and want for
giveness. According to my views you
have to do more than this to be for
given. You have to make amends.
Mere talk does not purchase forgive
ness, Where anything is stolen or
got unjustly it must be refunded be-
fore forgiveness can be expected, if
the sinner is able to refund. That is
the way l understand it. So you had
better tell me what the case was, so
that l may look it up and see what
loss the defeated party sustained,
and then you must restore his money
to him or make good his loss. If
this be not your view I fear you are
in error in supposing that you have
got religion and are a christian"

A Network of Lines Touching All
Important Points Are Being
Built by Turkey.

| n NeJNOfk Oh I1UeS Touching All
Important Points Are Being
Built by Turkey.
BERLIN,-Of special interest to
Germany, because of the German
ownership of the Bagdad railway,
and of general interest to all travel
ers in the Orient, is the news of
Turkey contemplating railroad build
ing activities in the Holy Land I'm
der these plans a network of lines
touching all important points of Tur-
key in Asia and connecting with the
Bagdad will be built within three
years.
The first of the projected lines I'M
dertaken will be a strip of about
fourteen miles from Haifa to Acre.
A second new line will extend from
Haifa to Jerusalem, some ninety-sev-
en- miles, passing through Samaria.
This line will be of especial import
ance to tourists, who now go for the
most part to Jaffa and thence with
the French railroad line to Jerusa-
lem. The harbor at Jaffa is notori-
ously dangerous, and a great number
of all travellers to Jerusalem find
themselves Obliged to land at Haifa,
whence the trip to Jerusalem is long
and arduous.
A third new line, construction on
which has already begun, is to run
from Derat, the junction of the Da-
mascusHaifa and Damascus-Medina
lines, to Busra, the great market
place for the Syrian desert, the Ara
bian highland and the territory east
of the River Jordan. This line, which
will be about nineteen miles long
and will be opened in sixteen
months, will have high military i'm
portance.

That the proposed city ordinance
governing the use of the city scales,
which passed its first reading last
Monday night, would place an indirect
tax on the people who buy fuel and
hay is the belief OF a number Of resi-
dents in the city. Many interesting
view points have been offered and 1t
offered the city council at its next
meeting.
The opinion of many seems to be
that the $ OF the city scales ie all
right. but that the weighing OF all
fuel and hay on them should not be
that IL the dealers are made to weigh
their coal and wood or them. it Will
result in q small tax to pay for the

In the hrst place." said one resi-
dent. the scales are not centrally To-
Gated. Supposing a dealer has sold
. ton OF coal in the north end. Tn
would have to haul 1t to the south end
TO have It weighed. and then 60 all the
way to the north end to deliver It.
It stands to reason that he Is going to
make the customer pay for the time

II see no reason why I should be

between US. and il ! am satisfied the
city should be. It iE all right to have
the city scales, because. II / think the
dealer is moi giving me a square deal,
I can have him weigh the fuel on
them. but I would expect to pay addi-
uonal for his extra work.
Compulsory use Of the scales is
going to work difficulties in other ways.
Supposing a resident in the north end
had ordered a quarter Of a ton Of
ton Of soft coal and a third one a
quarter cord Of wood. Under present
conditions. the dealer could deliver all
this fuel on one trip. But II he IL
