.Recent Investigeticns in Geology.
'Geologists are much interested in the re-
-moults of the exploratiox -of the deep sea,.
made last summer by H. M. Ship " Porcu-
pine," by Dr. Carpenter, Professor Wyville
'Thompson, and McGynn Jeffreys. -Chief
,among the: facts discovered, is that while the
:surface of the sea may have a temperature of
fifty-two degrees, there are cold tracts and
'warm tracts' deep below the surface, 't exist•
ing within a short distance of each other,
:and marked by chaaetelistic differences.
'The bottom of the cold tract, is formed of
barren sandstone, mingled with fragments
'of older rock, inhabited by only _few ani-
mals, and -chose mostly- of the arctic kinds.
In the adjacent warm area, on the contrary,
:the bottom is cretaceous, and abounding
with life. "Now," says the writer in the
:Review on. the Arts and Sciences in Cham-
:ber's Journal for December last, " suppose
these two tracks upheaved and became dry
land. Geologists would naturally believe
them to have been formed at different times,
-and under very different circumstances :
and yet we find therm here contempora-
neous and almost; conterminous. Here
:there: is a fact that will have to be con-
sidered in all future discussions about what
is called geological times."
Another factis also opposed to long re-
ceived opinion. ` The* deepest seas team
with animal life. At two thousand fath-
oms, : they animals have perfect eyes. Life
is now ap established fact, and light may
be inferred from there being eyes. There
is yet much more to come out of this. If
ordinary light penetrates to the bottom of
the sea, how does it. penetrate 4 Or is
'there at the bottom some sort of phosphoric
light. If a photograph could be taken
down in the sea, that would testify to the
presence of light. As to the breathing of
the animals at the bottom, there is no
difficulty, for the late Master of the Mint,
Mr. Graham, has shewn by his liquid dif-
fusions of gasses, that air may be diffused
downwards to the greatest depths. .
Insurance Follies.
to count unless the playing , ball touch a
cushion either before or after ::contact with
the first object, and in makingfollow, draw,
-masse, or kiss from cushion shots, this rule
will not be observed. Several professionals
have practiced' the new game, and -intend
shortly to test its merits in a match. At
all events, the plan has the merit of no-
velty, but we Tear that, as in the game now
played, the large army of "scratchers" will
hold their own. Nothing in billiards can
be devised to prevent the "runs of luck"
these gentlemen are continually favoured
with.
8
Of all the business transactedr among
-risen, none is more prolific of such sharpers
than that of insurance, because nowhere
else do these mathematical prodigies carry
their extravagancies to greater length., For
instance, we have the co operative scheme
of life insurance, where the silly public,
whom they address, are promised that two
and two shall make live, and that re-
pented multiplication of nothing -shall bring-
-.about a substantial product.
Then there are the various dividend de-
lusions of the responsible life companies,
whereby an almost equally silly public are
induced to .believe that a life insurance com-
pany can pay all its dosses and expenses,
and return to the policy -holder at death, or
sooner, all the money that he has paid in,
compounded at the same rate of interest
which it receives upon investments.
But the worse because the most danger-
ous and cruel of all these various ' frauds, is
that by which the public is persuaded that
fire insurance can be sold below cost with
safety to the company and profit to the in-
sured. That this notion prevails is proof
conclusive that despite the innumerable vic-
tims which sharpers have gathered in their
nets, the "fools are not all dead yet." • For
aught that we can: see, they are not likely
to die faster than good mother nature can
give birth to them.
But what shall we say of men professing
to be honest and claiming to be intelligent,
who gravely advocate this theory, who even
go -further and produce the records of several
:.s.iccessive years, which show a uniform de-
ficit of receipts and surplus of losses, in [sup-
port of the doctrine that, if the receipts=
that is the rates—had been less, the . com-
pany would have made Money. If such men
are honest,. God deliver us from knaves.
Chicago Ins. Chronicle.
STICK TO ONE THING. " Unstable aS
water, thou shalt not excel" is the language
of the Good Book. Whoever expects to
succeed in any undertaking, lutist enter in-
to it with a hearty 'and earnest will to do
his best. The men who have,worked their
way up to Worth and usefullness, do not be-
long to the shiftless uselessness, and un-
stable class, but may be ,reckoned among
those .who took, off their coats, rolled up
then:- sleeves, conquered their prejudices
against labour, and -manfully bore the heat
and burden of the day. Whether upon
the old worn-out farm, where our fathers
toiled, diligently striving to bring back the
soil to a. state of 'productiveness, in the ma-
chine shop or factory, or the thousand other -
business places that invite honest toil and
skill, let the motto ever be, perseverance
and industry. The baby training of the
nursery was good in itself, 'but it won't
answer all thedemands of an active life.
This is not a baby world. We !must ex-
pect to be jostled and knocked about in the
stern conflict, and get run over, if we are
not on the look out and prepared to meet
the duties of lite with a purpose not to
shrunk them, but to fulfil them. A young
Tuan with a good trade or honorable profes-
sion, who goes forth into the world with his
mind made up to stick to his trade or pro-
fession, is not obliged to ask for Many
favors. 3

NEW GAME OF BILLIAR.DS.—Somebody
has invented a new game of billiards. It is
the hope of the inventor that the manner
devised will do away with that feature in
our present game known as "scratching,"
and thus elevate the game to one of purely
artistic merit. Three balls are to be used
as now—three objecfand one playing ball;
the object balls are to be color. ed light red,
deep red, and blue, respectively. The game
will be caroms only, and played as at pres-
sent with this other difference :. No carom
Cause of the " Oneida" Disaster.
Thi) American papers state that one of
the .surviving officers of the ill-fated' Oneida
(sunk by the Bombay in Japan waters), re-
cently-arrived
e-cently arrived in New York, and that - he
declares all the officers on the Oneida were
drunk at the time of her collision with the
Bombay ; that the vessel having just left
port, the officers were having a "little jolifi-
cation belo wv," and that the deck was in
charge of a midshipman. He stated further
that the Bombay was hailed through a speak-
ing trumpet; that immediately after the
collision the utmost excitement prevailed—
everyhody madly rushing for the boats, and
thinking of nothing else but self-preservation
The intoxicated officers, in their drunken
-stupor were totally , incapable of .giving or-
ders, or even attempting to preserve their
own lives. If this is all true (it must be
remarked that the relator says all the offi-
cers were drunk, and if so, the relator must
have been drunk too), then it is not diffi-
cult to arrive at the terrible consequences
of this unfortunate collision. . These are
very grave charges ; and it behoves the
American- Government to institute a most
thorough investigation into the matter. it
is true,,that the fact of the.Oneidars officers
being drunk, does not relieve Captain Eyre
from the odium of having shown a great
want of humanity and discretion, in not
stopping his vessel till he had ascertained
the extent of the injury done to the Oneida,
and sending his boats- to the relief of the
crew. But if this fact of the drunkenness
of the Oneida's officers be taken in connec-
tion wgh other circumstances which were
proved on the examination of Capt. Eyre,
such as the want of boats, etc., it `proves that
the loss lof the, vessel and crew restsnot with
Oapt. Eyre, but with the .A merican. officers
themselves, and the person whose Iluty it
was to see that the Oneida was provided
with the proper number of boats before she
put to sea.
Premier and Porter.
The . vicissitudes of fortune sometimes
manifest themselves in strange places.—
Many years ago—we cannot state the exact
time—there were two schoolfellows, one
named William Ewart Gladstone, the other
Luke Hamer. The former quitted school
for the Senate, and became distinguished in
politics as he had in early life become in
letters. Fortune was not fickle to him,
and he is now the Prime Minister of Great
Britain. Luke Hamer's career seems to
have been far more chequered with the
cares of life ; and the world,for aught we
know, would have remained ignorant of his
existence had be not recently applied for
an appointment to a public office. The offi-
ce in question has no connection with the
Cabinet , it is only,, that of porter at the
Ormskirk Workhouse. Poor Luke Hauler,
w o now verges on his 60th year, has pro -
had a hard battle in the world, and
t ugs must have gone ill with him if his
story is true that he went to school with
the present Premier. We have no reason
to doubt it, fur it was told to the guardians,
who could easily have tested its truth. had
they thought it necessary to do so. Luke
Hamer was one of five candidates for the
humble Office, and the guardians appointed
him to it last week.—Live'ipool Mercury.
A FAIILY PUZZLE.—Apropos of the re-
port that a father and his son=who were
referred to as "MM. X. pe>:e et fils," are
about to marry two sisters, the French pa-
pers suggest the following complications as
possible tb arise from these double espous-
als :-To begin with M. X. the son,will
be the tbrother-in-law of bis father, and his
wife will become the sister-in-law of her own
sister. If M. X. senior has a son, and M.
X. junior a daughter, and they shoall mar-
ry, the daughter of X. junior will become
the sister-in-law of her father ; and the, son
of X. senior will be the son-in-law of his
brother and of his sister-in-law. If there
should be a child of this second marriage, it
will have two grandfathers, MM. X. senior
and junior, whence it follows that X. senior
will become the brother of his own son.'
More than that—if a boy, he will be the
brother of his own mother, since he and his
mother are alike grandchildren of X. senior;
and .as a mother's brother is 'an uncle,. he
will be in the anainalous position of being
his own uncle.
The Memphis Avalanche tells the follow-
ing story :—" A little negro boot -black en-
tered the storehouse of one of our Front st.
merchants, and politely invited the sales-
man to have a " shine for five cents." The
clerk . sought to excuse himself from the
proffered invitation by saying that he would
black the urchin's boot's for five cents. The
negro eyed him for a second, and with the
utmost nonchalence placed his muddy hoof
upon a box, and told the clerk to 'take a
chair and he would pay him five cents.'
The clerk determined to keep his word, and
proceeded to pick u p the darkey's brush and
blacking, but was immediately stopped by
the youngster, who cried : 'Look ya here;
you got to get your own brush and blacking
for dis job.' Amid the laughter of a crowd,
the plucky clerk at once produced brush and
blacking, and in a few minutes the negro's
boot's became acquainted with a scientific
polish. When the:deed was done the little
nig' produced a five cent piece and depart-
ed whistl' g the once popular air, ° John
Brown's body lies mouldering in the grave.'
Too WELL BORN FOR A TRADE.—Many
young men have fathers that are rich, and
the consequence is, that these young men
have no ambition, and no particular pros-
pect in life. They scorn a trade 1 They
are too well born for a trade ! A man that
is too -well born for atrade is very well born
for a gallows ! If your boy is fitted to `work
in metals, let him work in metals. If he is
fitted to work in the soil, let him work in
the soil. If he is fitted to do a higher order
of work, let him do that ;. not, however, be-
cause it is more honorable, for anything is
honorable in this world—and in this coun-
try—that you serve honorably.
