MereoTor, the water of the entire strait is comparatf vely shallow. The greatest depth reached by the soanding line between tite two oapes la leas than thirty two fathoms, or one hundred and ninety two feet, while the average of soundings thronghont the strait fall short of twenty two fathoms. Caissons for the foundations of great bridges have already been sunk to a depth of mere than one hundred and twenty-five feet. The two continents are, in fact, jsined by submarine banks, and it is known that at a former time this connection was still closer, BO that animals and species of plants crossed from one continent to another. The natives of the region still preserve the tradition of this jelning of the land. The Chnkchis, who greatly resemble the Eakimos, and who live on the Asiatic, ride, relate that the land which made Ihe former Isthmus sank into the water durlns a terri- ble combat between a warrior and a ^eat white bear. Mr. John Mnir, an English engineer, has returned from Behring Strait fully convhiced that it would be praotioable to oonatmct a btiige across thias^ip of water separatint; America from Asia and the Old World from the New. If he is right, the notion that a railroad may be built connect- ing New York, Boston and San Francisco with St. Petersburg, Berlin and Paris is not so entirely a matter of fancy as It has been regarded. The Rnsdans already have a definite pro- ject â€" although It Is as yet far from reaUzi- ilon â€" for a railway to traverse Siberia, and connect St. Petersburg with the PacCfi: Ocean. This trams-Slberlan railway is to be built by the Bnsalan Gevemment it has already crossed the Ural Mountains, and will, it ia estimated, cost some four hundred million dollars. The Americana, on their side, have adready pr»jsoted a. railroad, which may or may not be built, to extend to t^e shore of the mainland near Sltka^ Alaskan A railway to Prince of Wales Cape, however, would run further eeuatward than this line, and no great natural obstacle would stamd in the way of its constmction. It would run along the river valleys, and parallel with the monntadn rauages instead of across them. But a journey by ndl from New York to Paris, even if the engineerLsg genius of the future should make it possible, would take a much lon(;er time, even on the fawtest rx press tradns, than a voyage across the Atlantic on a fast steamier, and would coat very much more. It would be a luxury to be enj 9yed only by wealthy people who strongly dis- like ocean travel. DBOOHH IlSfl OH LAKE EBIB.

A hole Is cnt ia the loe, osuaUy at the side of some bank or edge of a channel, where the fish are apt te bs mnnlag then the house is moved over the hole and the fire ia started. The fisherman sits on a seat, under which is a box in which to hide his fiih as it is importwt to keep his good luck a secret lest his neighbors surround him. If the little village of fish houses moves dose around him his chances are «:one, not only because the surrounding fishermen will intercept the fish, but because the noise of chopping and walking on the Ice will cer- taiidy drive them away, for, although you can talk or sing as much am you please in the fish-house, the least tap upon the ice will frighten away the fish. The house not only makes a warm shelter for che fisherman, where he can ait com- fortably protected from the wild blasts that sweep over the tiezm lake, but, as it has no windows and the light Is shut out above, he can see clearly eight or ten teet down into the waters of the lake. It Is really a beautiful sight to watch the decoy darthig hither and thither, and the game stealing silently up to the hole or rushing at it as u about to swallow it, tin fins and all. The deooy is made of wood, colored to suit the fancy of the fisherman, and not much like anything in nature. It is three or four inches long and is carved in the shape of a fish and heavily weighted with lead to- ward the head. It haa four horizsntal tin fiuB on its sides and one fin on its back. To one of a small row of rings on ita back one end of « string is hooked, and the other end is attached tola stick about a foot long. With this stick the fisherman plays the decoy, making It daat about in the water ais nearly as possible In a triangle. Sometimes a sohool of perch will gather abont the hole, if they are large enough they are speared. If too small for that they are caught with hook amd line. Or a sohool of herring take their pliuse, and then the fisherman sulMtitutes for hoolt amd bait a white csllahr button on the end of a strinc this the white fiih swallows eager- ly, and the fishermam gently llfta them out on the Ice bsf ore they can cUsgorge. Then there Is a swish, ana a ton- pound pike rushes In and scatters the small fiy in every direction. He stands motionlesp, watching the deooy, whioh the fisher nan must play like lightising, for if the pike touches it he dlSrovers and rassota the d^ ception. rushing away faster than he came At the first opportunity the fisherman strikes his spaar Into the fish's shoulder, or, if he can't get a fair stroke, and the water is shallow enoagh, he pins him to the bottom until he drowns. This is a favorite sport in Michigan, and Is zsaloualy pursued, sometimes so late in the spring that the shanties sail off Into the lake on the melting ice. FineWritin?. Many years ago, it is not known precisely how many, Mr. Michael Ryan applied for position of schoolmaster in a Maine village.

Braa el, the leading engineer of Europe at that time, pointed to Daniel Gooeii, just tarenty- one years of age, as the beat man he knew for the place, and hs was appointed. He had to superintend the malting, as well as the running, of theenglnee, and he did his work so well that several of the locomotives which he prodaced forty, forty- five, and even forty-eight years ago aure still doing good service, and cannot now be sur- pass^ in the essentials of manufacture.

Daring the twenty' leven years of his hold- ing the office of superintendent, ho studied the art and scienoe of railroaiding. It witf he who gathered most of that mass of curious Kuowledge about rails, their composition, form and fastenings, the effects of beat and cold upon them, the caufses of bretJcs amd fraKstures, the llmita of speed, and many other points, whioh are now the common pro- perty of the profession and have reduced the danger of radlroad travel to a minimum. He WM a wide-wake, intelligent man who could not help impro^rag everything he touched. Daring the last twenty years of his life, being a man of capitad, tmd having the con- filence of men of capitsJ, he has been a promoter of business schemes that saver of the magnificent, and require the aid of men who have mind, force and ocurage notably, the Atlantic Cable and the Great Eastern Steamship. Hia frit Ij ?ay that he was the only per- son concemod in the huge ship who did not lose by her, for when she was lying worthless and forgotten, a melancholy failure, he bought her for a song and set her to laying the Atlantic cable, by which she earned a dividend of twenty per cent a year. English railroad men lament that Sir Daniel Go^ch wau too m3dest, as well as tie busy a man, to record the scores ot valu- able and peculiar knowledge concerning ralhroads, telegraphs and jables which he had aocnmulated, and much of which he orislnatod. But the hand that oould have recorded the story is stilled forever. He died near Windsor Castle, the Sovereign Lauly of which made him Sir Daniel, many years ago, for the part he bore in laying the the first Atlamtic cable. THE £OIT0B B HASD LUGE.

The Bottom of the Ocean. In the investigations that were ludertaJcen by the Prince of Monaco in deep-sea sound- ings, extending from the banks of Newfound- lamd to the coast of Africa, a most ingenious method waM adopted to bring up specimens of the living creatures exsisting at great depths in the ocean. The apparatus as used is eisplay ed at the oavilion of the principahty of Monaco at the Paris Exhibition. The cage In which the submarine animiJa were caught consisted of a cylinder ef wre having three conical entramces, like those of a lobster pot, and weighted for submersion with detachable welgbte. It wabs, however, very unlikely that at these immense depths, where the darkness Is practically total, any fishes would Tolnntao'lly find their way into the. trap, amd stops were taken to attrawit them by a light placed inside it. Obviously, no light was available but an eleotrio light, but to get an elcetrio light to bum a mile or two under wator was not easy. To send the current from above was impraujticable, as the friction ef the thick Insulatod wire would cause It to break before the trap oould be drawn up, and the only reaurce was to supply the incandescent wire from a battery In the trap. The difficulties presented by the presence of salt water and the existence of enormous hydrostatic pressure were, however, ingeni- ously andsucoessfully overcome, amd so affec- tive did the device prove that, not content with oaptoring derp sea fishes with it. it Is proposed on the next expedition to send down a photographic apparatus and bring back negatives of the bettom ol the ocean, as seen by electric light.â€" [Ex.

It is not fairh, but the labok of it, that is displayed by those who dare not fearlessly tce the search for truth amd take the consequences of In- vestigation. The real Infidelity to-day is to be found with those who stand with bauk to the sunrise, and see no reality except in the shakdows of the night that Is passinp away.

An effiser of the airmy who has long be en Intimately tquainted with the Indian tribes on onr Western border said lately, "The red man's conception of relit^ions truths Is ns aJ- ly singularly fine and profound. I met, a few months ago, for example, an Omaha chief, who had ruled bis tribe with wisdom and justice for many years, and who now, blind, and the victim ef an incurable diseaue, was quietly awaiting death." "Why are you so content?" aksked the ffficer. "Pain and old age are not good things." The aged chief was silent awhile before answering, according to the Indian habit when a frrave question is discussed, and that said " The bird that builds Ite nest on the tree near my wisrwam in summer leaves it when winter Is coming, amd travels thousands of miles to the southward but in the spring it will come back across mountadns and rivers to that very same nest.

CURED OF FLIfiTIRG. For Onee la tbe World's History a Drnanaaer Meets His Hatob. "No more flirtlng.for me, boys, " 'remarked a drummer to some of his acquaintances, one of whom was a reporter for a Toronto dally. "I used to go without smoking when I was dying for a oi««r, jast so I could go in tbe ladlee' oar. But I'm onred. Oa my last run into Toronto I met a nice youns Udy. She waa agreeable and of course I made my- self as nearly so as pssslble. Had a pleasant half-hour with her before we reahdied the station, and of course when we got off there I asked her if there were any parcels I could oarryforher. She smiled bewttohingly and said I might help her If I could be so kind. Then shepoiatod to the seat behind where we weresming and there were three babies, sMortod sfeae,a«leep. She said they were hers Wsll, I was In for it, so I ^ck^ np the big- gest ones, eae oa either aim, while she took the kid.

We drove ont to soanewhere near the University and stopped before a nioe house. A man ftumii running out, lifted out the babies, kissed them, lifted out the yotmg woman, kissed her two or three times, and told the driver he oonld go. Would yon believe it, she was so spoony on that husband of hers she never said goodby tome nor looked in my diraotion'at all and that ain's the worst of it, I hadto pay the carriage hire myself, and lost half a day's time In the bargain. That woman oarel me (rflrtiag so Im^ as Ilive." ^1 ^h-^ li ' ih
