. Mariners soy that In the midst of the
Atlantic, about wliere the twenty-fifth
meridian west from Greenwich crosses
the eqoator, there lies a region, of
rn.wtery. It is on the line that ships
take from Madeira to Brazil. Only
wllhin the past half century has it
been sounded and its strange phe
nomena reported.
One investigator declared that he
law the sea about half u mile from his
vessel suddenly disturbed. For about
two minutes it boiled up violently as
from a subterranean spring. Through
out the day there were observed great
patches of discolored water which had
nactly the appearance of extensive
shouts.
These and similar phenomena are
f requently observed in this part of
the ocean. Often a ship reports that
she has experienced a violent shock
similar to that which is felt (when a
ruck is struck. Sometimes ji great
rumbling is heard, like that of 'a heavy
chain running through the, hawse
pipes, and the vessel quivers like a
leaf in the wind. At another time, in
- smooth water, a vessel has been
known to heel over suddenly, as if she
bad run on a sand bank.
Before this part of the ocean was as
thoroughly sounded and surveyed as it
Is now these phenomena were attrib
uted to the presence of unmarked sand
banks and rocky shoals, and the old
charts were marked accordingly. But
it must have astonished the mariner
somewhat to find that he got no sound
ings with his deep sea lead Immediate
ly after experiencing one of these
shocks.
It is now generally believed that sub
marine earthquakes are the true cause
of these convulsions. Youth's Companion.

The Montenegrins.
' It Is only in recent years that Monte
negrins have begun to appreciate the
services of the hospital. Hulme Bea
man, after visiting the country in ISSi),
wrote that the people "take very little
care of their children, and only the
sound and strong grow up. In after
life, too, they are extremely averse to
sanitary precautions or medical treat
ment, and a sick Montenegrin Is almost
synonymous with n dead man. At least
he at once gives himself up and, if bt
recovers, looks upon it as a curious
freak lu nature's laws. The few who
reluctantly submit to losing an arm or
a leg invariably refuse anaesthetics
and converse with their friends, smok
ing a cigarette while the knife and
aw are at work."

LA BOH NOTES OF
WIDE INTEREST
Many working people are realizing
that they cannot buy as much as they
formerly could with their money. Sure
ly it would seem that all workers could
realize the fact. Vet so cleverly is the
capitalist ryatcm operated that there aro
millions who fail to see the seriousness
of the present situation. The estab
lished newspapers are silent on the sub
ject. The attention of the people is di
verted by all sorts of schemes. J he sin
ister attempt of the rulers of America
to-day is to keep the appearance of
proerity afloat.
. lo this end the whole machinery of
commercial society, is engaged in cover
ing up the holes and bare spots of our
industrial walls, tinsel, draperies anil
various brands of hangings are tacked
up. The dazzling riches of the upper
class are continually kept before the
puiiiie eve. Credit and installment
schemes for buying homes and lots "on
time," methods of buying furniture, jew
els and watches, "the tick" way of get
ting food and other necessaries are creat
ed to rob the wage earner and fool him
into believing that his lot is not so
bad after all.
A slum installment plan prosperity,
glittering about him, benumbs his mind.
He is unable to see below the glitter of
the surface. Wliile the workers are be
ing pilfered by these means, the screws
are being fastened tighter on their lives.
Wages remain fixed. I'rices keep going
higher. Freedom becomes more aud more
a myth to him. The ultra rich do
not have any care as to these things.
The despicable "crawfish" climbers are
too busy aping this set to worry. The
workers are too busily engaged in meet
ing their bills each week to find time
to think the "why" of the bills.
Many working people cannot see that I
the so-called prosperity is enslaving I
them more each day that it continues.
They do not know that the whole ar
rangement is unnecessary. The reason
that wages are fixed and that prices
rise is not hard to understand.
The control of wages and prices lies
in the hand of a few people who own
the industries of America. The lower
wages are and the higher prices are,
the richer and wealthier they are. It is
to their interest to keep the present kind
of. "prosperity" going. Real prosper
ity demands a great income for labor.
Therefore, real prosperity is unattain
able in our present system. To obtain
greater income and lower prices, the
working class will have to control wages
and prices. This is impossible as long
as the workers do not own the industries.

Vigorous demands are being made

for the enforcement of the anti-kiss-

fighting for a still further extension of

hand threading shuttle can be secured
to take its place. The use of this
shuttle is a frequent cause of tubercular

The Minnesota State Federation of La
bor has prepared a minimum wage bill
to be introduced in the coming ses
sion of the state legislature. The bill
proposes to establish industrial boards
to consist of members representing the
employers, employes and the genersl
public, each board to represent a given
industry. The duty of these boards
shall be to fix minimum rates of wage
for women and children. It is proposed
that the rates of wages shall not be
fixed arbitrarily, but shall be estab
lishrd to safeguard in a reasonable de
gree the health and general welfare of
women and minor workers. The club
women of Duluth are fsvorahle to the
provisions of the proposed bill sod many
members of the legislature also are on
record as being in favor of it.
"It is a fact that trades unions have
been the leaders in demands for legisls
tion for sanitary ard safety appliance
laws, also for the abolition of child la
bor.
"Through the effort of trades unions
24 states have laws requiring guards
placed around dangerous maihinery.
"Twenty-seven states enforce sanitary
and sufficient toib-t rooms for the sexea.
"Thirty-five states provide factory in
apectors to enforce observance of the
sanitary and safety appliance laws.
"Thirty-three state require fire es
capes on factories and public building.

It Was a Rather Moan Advantage, but
It Won the Game.
An unusual golf handicap was played
on one of tbe local links recently, tbe
proponent of the same winning hands
down. One of the rules of golf is that
one must not talk tq ft player when he
Is about to make a drive, nor must oth
ers discuss any subject lu bis bearing.
It might take his mind ofT the game for
Just on luBtant, and that might prove
fatal.
In Kansas City lives a crack but ex
tremely nervous golf enthusiast. He
had been in the habit of beating a fat
and phlegmatic friend until the latter
tired of It. j
"I'll tell you what I'll do," the friend :
said not long ago, "I will play you;
eighteen holes if you will give me a j
handicap." j
"Done," said the nervous player, j
"Name tbe handicap." . j
"Three times during the game, and j
not more than three, I am to tie ' per-1
mltted to stand behind you and say j
'Boor while you are preparing to
drive." j
Every time It was the nervous man's j
play his fat friend walked op and just j
stood behind him. Never once during !
the game did the ft man say "Boo!" j
or anything else. P.ut the anticipation
at the expected "Boo!" was fairly
nerve shattering, and tbe fat man won
bands down. Kansas City Journal.

Grant and Lee.
In reminiscences of President Grant
by Robert M. Douglass, bis private sec
retary, iu the Youths Companion he
says:
"One afternoon a tall, handsome man
of splendid presence nnd with a grave,
courteous face entered my olBce and
modestly announced himself as Uoliert
E. I-ee. When I told the president he
directed me to bring tbe distinguished
visitor in at once. Their meeting was
cordial, but apparently their recollec
tions brought feelings of sadness to
both men. Tbe president, with his
usual consideration, presented me to
General Lee, who knew my family and
who greeted me kindly. I expressed j
ray pleasure at meotlug him and then ,
retired from the room. I felt that at i
such a time no one should Intrude. The J
visit was merely oue of courtesy and j
did not last long. I believe that it was
the only time after the war that tie
two great generals met."
