In a recent communication to the
Academy of Sciences, NJ. Bouree, who
accompanies all the oceanographic eX-
petitions of the Prince of Monaco, has
given the results of his observations
on the migrations of these animals.

1000 to 5000 yards, RE during the

Similar migrations had already been
observed among the smaller species
known as plankton, but had never been
noticed in the case of creatures of a

the bathypelagic species do not obey
this law of vertical ascension; fish
with luminous organs seem to follow
it with the greatest exactness.

foods said: Gentlemen, l appreciate the delight
full compliment paid to our breakfast food, which,
of course merits your favor and the applause of the

science Of advertising"
That's true, it proves what advertising will dO If
you will find some use for common white sand and
advertise it extensively ond udicousy it will be
gold mine.
Why is that merchants are afraid to venture out
in this line, is hard to understand. Every business
knows it pays to advertise. Every business
man knows millions have been made with some COM
mon article, not always even necessity, but adver
tise- properly. Every business man knows that the
prosperous merchants are the heaviest adverti-
Sers; yet the average man does not seem to grasp
necessity.
You will be old and infrm, before trade will in
crease without the use of printers ink in some form
The personal testimonials of your few customes will

Advertise, and get your personal workers band
enlarged and instead of a half dozen or so families,
get dozens and treat them so we'll that they, are
compelled to talk about your merchandise.

tion of the merchandise.
