The H. A l.. Amerika, which will run
to the West Indies next tourist season, is
among the finest Of steamships. At the
time of her launching about seven years
ago she was considered the most up-to-date
transatlantic liner, with her elevators, re-
staurant system of supplying meals, etc,
and in other ways was spoken of rs the first
palace hotel afoat. With exception of a
few, the Amerika still ranks as one of the
largest passenger ships, her total capacity
for all classes being over 1000. Excepting
the colossal Imperaior, the Amerika is the
third largest of the II. A LIS fleet of 1872
ocenn-going steamships, the Kaiseriu Angus

The Amerika is some 5000 tons larger than

as the desert. This plain continues till the
great mid-Atlautic ridge is reached. Tins
ridge Is said roughly to blsect the Atlantic.
1t extends from Ireland rs far south as a3
degrees of south latitude, with y slight and
quite tneAplcuble break just under the equt-
tor. The ridge runs almost parallel wIth
the eastern contour of North and South
America. From time to time the ridge rises
above the surface Of the water, AZ in the
Azores group, ST. Paul's Rocks, Ascension
and Cough Islands. When the traveller had
assembled the eastern and descended the
western slope Of this mid-AtlantIc ridge, he
would again traverse plains of greylsh ooza
far more extensive than any land tract known
to 9eographers. AS the American coast was
approached, the traveller would gradually
pass through, III reverse order, the zones of
life traversed when leaving Europe. Tho
writer of the ReUie0 article speaks of what
the traveller would see on this imaginary
journey 1t has to be explained, however,
that in reality nothing would be seen, unless
he were gifted with the power of seeing in
the uttermost darkness For, at the bottom
Of the Atlautic Ocean there prevails dark
ness with which the blacklist night on land
would seem comparative twilight. No rny
of sun or moon can pierce through anything
like the 1000 fathoms of water. The only
light ever seen ut these great depths is due
TO the phosphoroscence of certain of the
deep-sea organisms. There is. moreover, no
sound, no echo of sound, in the deserts Of
the deep. All down there is dark, and all is
silent. 1t is also persistently cold, says the
writer. AS the wear and tear Of cables
show, there are places where deep sea cur
rents are strong. But on the whole the
abysses of the sea are cold, noiseIess and
motionless. The mouotony Of the surround
ings is increased by the fact that no diurual
nor seasonal change reaches those greHt
depths. Deep sen animals live at II tremen-
dous pressure. At a depth of 5000 fathoms,
the pressure on each square inch of the body
of An animal amounts TO three cons, whereas
at the surface it is about fifteen pounds. SO
great is this pressure, ii has been pointed
out, that unless special precautions are talk.

PROF. SAVILLE TELLS OF LXPLOR-
ING TRIP.

Prof. Marshall Howard Savllle, Professor
of American Archaeology in Columbia Uni
versity, who has been making extensive OK
cuvations IN the State Of Esmeralda, Eeuad-
or, arrived home yesterday on the Hamburg
American liner Carl Scburz, and told Of dis

the ancient civilizations of this hemisphere.
The skulls / have referred to had their teeth
decorated with gold, being filled with gold
on the inside but showing only slightly
without. The teeth saemed to have q gold
band stretched across their edges either for
decoration of the mouth or to strengthen the
incisors. Some of the skulls had the ines
ors neatly chiseled out and filled with
gold in some instances, and in others with
a material that seemed to be q kind of den
tai cement.
In another type the gold band was cemen-
ted to the teeth, but most remarkable were
the chlseled holes, most of them little ones,
all filed with gold. The effect is striking
aud the work may be 1000 years old; as
matter of fact it may have been done before
the Incas.

Fate Plays Queer Tricks
With the Young Pitchers

Washington. D. c., Jan. 10.-If you
have lamped the statistics that the
monetary accountants of Mr.. Lynch's
well-known league have compiled for
the benefit of the stove league, yor,
have glimmed and appreciated the
fact that Claude Hendrix of the Pitts
burgh Pirates is the league leader

MIR. Hendrix, it might be stated. said

rather husky young exponent of twirl-

ever stop to reason how many Of the
Youngsters who blossom over night
keep the pace? It's some study, be-
laeve me. when YOU look it over. Let's
con II null over the fact.
First. it is we'll to state thai while
Hendrix led the National league. there
were a couple of other young and
new brooms that did something OF a
clear sweep themselves. Take the ex-
ample of the behemoth Of Ozarks,

Los Angeles. Jan. 11.-Dishearten-

not tempt him.
Promoter McCarey. with whom
Wolgast has talked concerning anotn-

but added: 'Ad is subject to peevisli
