the policy of Athens should be de-

Themistocles was not fit to tie

thought that the nondescript,
called the a-serpent, may be a
surviving representative Of some
such creature as the giant plesi-
osaurus, which inhabited the

great reptiles. Others think that
it is some curious form of cut

ocean monster that exceeds all
others in terribleness of aspect

Be Blind to Faults. -

The meauest mother law IS
the woman who calls her child's
attention to faults in the one to
whom he or she is married; who
uses the affection of her child and
the influence that she has with
her own to foment quarrels be-
tween the husband and wife and
who, when she sees the two drift
ing apart. does not use all of her
skill TO bring them together in
stead OF eNerting her strength 10
push them apart.
And the next meaueSt mother
in-law in the world is the woman
who. when she finds that her own
presence in her sons or daugh-
ter's house is Unwelcome and u
cause Of strife. doesn't remove
herself from Il. though she has
nowhere to 90 but the pOorhouse.
The only way TO be a good
mother-in-law is TO be blind TO
what YOU see in your sons or
daughters house. dumb Is TO the
way il is run. and TO make your
visits to il short and far apart.
BY doing that YOU can avoid
qualifying in the mean InuJEcr-iu-

a MONG the recent advances
~ of science none appeal more
powerfully to the magma
ton than discoveries about the
inhabitants of the sea. Their world
is marveIousIy different from ours
because it is many STORED
world. Moreover, it is more than
twice as extensive as ours in
area.
We live at the bottom Of our
ocean-the ocean of air-and even
the birds DO not permanently in
habit a higher level. They come
down to the ground to pass the
night. or to feed, or rest. In the
sea 1t is different.
The ocean averages two or three
miles in depth, and in some
places attains a depth of five or
six miles. II is inhabited, more
or less, from top to bottom, but
not by the same creatures. 1t is
like a gigantic apartment house,
in which each story Is not only
occupied by animals of particular
species. but where it Is death for
those of one story TO invade an
other story above or below. In
fact, Il is practically impossible
for some of these creatures to
rise much higher or descend much
lower than their native level.
When a Whale Dives.
When you see a whale dive he
does rot go very deep; he can
not get down, for the pressure in
creases to such a degree that, If
he could descend two or three
miles. his huge ribs would give
way, and he would be crushed out
OF shape. Yet those depths are
inhabited by creatures that seem
as delicate in structure as those
dwelling miles above their heads.
but their organization is such that
not only can they stand a pres
sure of tons to the square inch,
but they can not survive where
the pressure is much less.
One of the most curious facts
is that a kind of warfare some
times prevails between the inhab-
itants Of different levels in the
sea. This arises from the car
nivorous instinct, The desire of
one species of animal to eat those
of another species. once in
while a deep sea animal will,
while prowling along the upper
frontier of its kingdom, come upon
an animal that has ventured to
an unusual depth from the next
life zone above. Then there may
be a struggle. If the fighter from
the depths prevails. he will drag
his prey downward, until the
pressure becomes so great that
the victim is virtually strangled.
because his organs are not suited
to enable him to absorb oxygen
from the water at such a pres
sure. On the other hand, If the
abyssmal creature is mastered by
its enemy it will be lifted up into
a region where the pressure is 80
much diminished that the expand
ing gases in its body actually
cause it to burst. Deep-sea ami

DEATH or MR.. ]. NJ. cArHcARr

The Tampa Tribune of Wednesday
announces the death of Mr.. j. Nj.
Cathcart of that city. He is remem-
! bered with pleasant recolIections by
the older citizens of this community.
He lived here during the civil war
and for several years after its ces-
sation. He is remembered as ge-
NAL, kindly, companionable gentle
man, and the news of his death is re-
ceived here with profound sorrow. He
was for long time the commander
of the General Loring Camp of Con-
federate Veterans OF Tampa, and just
before his death he organized another
camp and gave it the name of the
John T. Leslie Camp In speaking Of
him the Tribune says:
Mr. Cathcart's death marks the
fifth in a family of seven. He is sur
vived by a brother, Walter Cathcart,
clerk of the criminal court of record,
and by a sister, Mrs. Ida J. Kennedy
also of this city, by a widow and by
a son, Mack Cathcart. formerly city
editor of the Tribune, and one OF the
best known and most popular young
men in south Florida.
MIR. Cathcart was an old-fashioned
southern gentleman, who as long as
he lived never forgot the aristocratie
pride OF the Old South. He did much
to keep alive in the community mem
cries of the historic struggle. and
years after the differences had been
settled wore proudly a gray uniform,
testifying his love for the Lost
Cause"
