DEPTH OF THE OCEAN

Until the recent sounding OF the
German survey ship, Planet, the rec
ord for ocean depth was held by a
sounding made on the American ship
Nero. near Guam, in 1899. The Nero
record was Sl,GOS feet, that obtained
BY the Planet S2,OSS feet. The latter
deep" is located about 40 nautical
miles east of Northern MindanaO.
1t has long been known that the
shore in this region shelves away very
rapidly, a depth OF 5000 feet or More
occurring within 20 miles of land, but
this drop of approximately six miles
within distance Of 40 miles makes
the land face there almost cliff. Ac-

BEAUTIFUL LAND OF NOD.
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Come cuddle your head on my shout
der. dear,
You head like the golden-rod,
And We will go sailing away from here
To the beautiful land of Nod.
Away from LIES hurry and furry and
worry,
Away from earth's shadows and
gloom, lsEt
To world of fair weather we'll float
off together
Where roses are always in bloom
Just shut up your eyes and fold youi
hands
Your hands like the leaves of n rose;
And We will go salling> to those fall
lands
That never an atlas shows.
On the North and the West they ar
bounded by rest.
On the South and-East by dreams,
'Tis tie country ideal, where nothing
is real,
But everything only seems.
Just drop down the curtain of your
dear eyes,
Those eyes of a bright blue-bell;
land We will san out under stdr.ii'
skies,
To the land where the fairies dwell
Down the river Of sleep our barqu(
shall sweep,
Where no man hath seen. but where
all have been, o"
And there we will pause awhile.
| will Groom you song as we fIoai
Nalong
To that shore that Is blessed Of God
Then no! for the fair land; We're Oh
for that rare land!
That beautiful land of Nod.

BETTER RURAL SCHOOLS.

How often, when family forsakes
the country for the city, is the reason
given that the children must have a
chance to get better education! II
rural schools were more efficient this
incentive would not exist, and at least
one of the reasons for the sweeping
tide OF population from farm to town
would be removed.
The National Council Of Education,
at its recent meeting in Philadelphia,
took up the subject seriously. a sub
stantial part OF the high cost OF living
was blamed on the defects OF the rural
school. Boys who otherwise would
stay at home and help to increase the
production OF farm products drift
away to the city in search Of an edu-
cation and never COME back. Labor
cUmot be found in sufficient supply
to grow the crops, Social life Ian

tributes still further to the exodus.

Her man was sleeping here,
Folks thought her sorrow must be

And, as she wed.

ABOUT HIGH BUILDINGS

ABOUT HIGH BUILDINGS
New York, Nov. Ten years ago
the Park Row building was New
York's tallest business structure. Its
highest point was 382 feet above the
street.
A new epoch in skyscrapers was
marked by the Singer building, 612
feet high. Then came the Metro
pOlitan Life, with it's white tower ex-
tending upward 700 feet, and lastly
the beautiful, cathedraI-like Wool
worth building, which placed the alti-
tude mark at $50 feet.
Now there is to come a greater
than any of these. The Pan-Ameri-
can States Association building, plans
for which have been completed, will
have Sc stories-as compared with
the Woolworth buildings Sand its
dome will be 901 feet above the pave
men.
AS may be guessed from its name,
the building is to be erected by an as
sociation formed to unite and pro-
mote the commercial interests of the
North and South American republics.
Its 100000 feet of floor space will
be devoted to offices of Pan-American
trade associations, displays of the
products of all the countries of the
western hemisphere, quarters of dip
lomatic and commercial representa-
tives of the various nations, club
rooms, banquet halls, and one of the
largest libraries in existence.
The state dining room (there will
be five others will contain a table
which will seat 800 persons. It will
be an apartment of great splendor,
surrounded by mezzanine galleries.
The building will occupy an entire
block. Each of "a floors will have a
space of $4,000 square feet Above
these will rise the remainder of the
building, in the form of Spanish
tower, with minarets and domes of
green and gold and red.

"Do You Have to Go, Daddy2"
Spartanburg Herald.

Spartanburg Herald.
There is an old song with the re-
frain, "Do they miss me at home, do
they miss me?" A little observation
of life shows that some fathers are
not much missed at home. They are
the kind who never, in turn, miss
their homes very much.
But the man who has big heart
and a home where his own kiddies
live will often hear the question, DO
you have to go, Daddy?" in a plain
tive, wistful tone. The hour has come
when he has to go back to work or
business and this to the children
means the loss of something missed
fromGhe fullness of life about home.
work" and business" are to them
vague masters of some kind that
daily take daddy" away from the
home and them. They begrudge
these tyrannous demands on daddy"
and do not more than half believe in
the necesfity alleged. So when he
reaches for his hat to go there is a
helpless little protest-"Do you have
to go, Daddy?"
This question is the finest of COM
pliments to faithful fatherhood. Lit
tie children know nothing Of indirec-
tion, the little insincerities of social
bllC vi SOlNSih III
where there is none at heart This
question from their lips means all 1t
Implies, and what 1t implies is evil
~dence of fidelity to his trust in a
father. He that has never heard his
own children ask that question with
falling faces and wistful emphasis on
the "have to-" and-it may be added
has never felt responsive wistful
regret in his own heart, has been
false to his trust somehow. Aye, and
has missed something from life this
pen cannot adequately bring to
vision.
There may be grandfathers whose
eyes light on these lines. Memory
will recall for them the days when
many a time and oft the little ones,
now grown up and flown from the old
nest, used to ask that very question
in that very manner of them. Per-
haps grandchildren ask 1t of them
now-and is there n 5weeter, more
comforting question to be asked OF
declining age by rising childhood
than thtR, "Do you have to go?"

ZELAYA RELEASED
FROM PRISON
Nicaragua Has Withdraw Charges
of Murder Against Former
President.

New York, Dec. 3.-Jose Santos
Zelaya, the former Nicaraguan Presi-
dent, who was arrested here a week
ago at the instance of his govern
ment, which charged him with the
murder of two countrymen in 1907,
was released from the Tombs today
after the federal authorities here had
received word from the state depart
ment that Nicaragua had withdrawn
Its application for his extradition.
Two conditions were imposed upon
Zelaya, to both of which he agreed
according to his counsel, Clarence G.
Galston, who said he was in commu-
nication indirectly with the Nicara-
guam government today through the
American state department. Zelaya,
his government stipulated, must not
mix in Central American politics and
must leave the United States for
Spain within a reasonable time.
When he has finished the business
that brought him to New York,
Zelaya said, he would sail for Spain,
there oreside and engage in COM
mercial pursuits.
Conditions besides those to which
Zelaya agreed we're originally impos-
ed by the Nicaraguan government
aAnd transmitted to his counsel here,
Mr.. Galston said The lawyer would
not disclose their nature but asserted
that he notified state department Off
Cials, who in turn told the Nicara-
guam government that Zelaya would
not consent to them. Mr.. Galston
said he would issue a statement to-
morrow covering Zelaya's case and
this statement might contain the text
of the stipulations which Zelaya re-
fused to accept.
Friends Of the one-time Central
American President crowded about
him with congratulations when
United States Commissioner Shields
told him he was free. "I am very
thankful for the sympathy the Amer
lean people have shown me-" said
Zelaya.
