It meiyi.s that if the ticket, whoever heads it, gels a fairlv. complete vote of the party it ' " will carry the country. , Nobody will be surprised that the Republicans held a long lead in the primaries in Pennsylvania,; nor is there any cause for surprise at their ascendancy in Illinois, although the Democrats have been claiming that .state for November. But the Republican lead in the primaries in Nebraska and Oregon is something which many Republicans did not look for. Both of those states have been claimed by the Democrats All along. have half of Nebraska s congressional delegation in each house, as chosen in 1910,' and they have a majority in the legislature. They have one of Oregons senators, and they earned that state. for governor in 1910.

There is a resonahle certainty, as indicated by the votes for delegates this far, that the verdict of 1910 for Congress will be reversed for both Congress and president in 1912. This is just what Democrats as well as Republicans had a right to expect. While the result in 1910 was a Republican defeat, it was not a Democratic ' victory.

The aggregate Democratic vote was much smaller in that year than it was Tor Congress jears earlierrThe interest shown! in the primaries in the past few weeks, however, indicates that thefe will be no Republican sulking in 1912. The stake is larger than It was two years ago. Republican at that time knew that even if the Democrats were permitted the House they would be. balked by a Republican Senate anil president, A Democratic victory in 1912 would put the 'entire goverhment iu that partys hands, with the possibility of bringing an industrial collapse like that which came in when thej- had their previous presidential victory. As shown by the votes in the states which have held their primaries thus r, all the Republicans are likly to go to the polls in November, which will mean that the party which has hejd the presidency in recent years will get an extension of its mandate. j o o - I s,tay-at-hoxn- to-carr- y ...... TITANIC AT THE BOTTOM. Did the. Titanic sink to the bottom of the ocean, or was she suspended at the depth of a few hundred feet! is a question that many persotisll over the country have asked. The Scientific American in response to many'inqibries, The ; shjs there, is, only - one reply Titanie is at the bottom- - and gives this explanation : Sueh questions are based upon the erroneous Supposition that the density of the water at the bottom of the sea is far greater than at the surface, y Density is here confused with pressure.- The pressure increases enormously as we descend, amounting to considerably over (5,000 pounds per square foot at. a depth of 10O feet. Divers sometimes work at depths of as' much, as 150 feet, where the pressun is half again as much. 9, 303.75 pounds to be exact. When 'provided with special armored diving suits, divers have operated at consider ably greater depths; but nothing approaching the depth at which tin j Titanic now lies. . This depth is given as 2.0(H) fathoms, which is emi-- i j siderably over two miles, and the pressure amounts tft ' of a million pounds per square foot. It is only natural to suppose that under sncfi pressures the den-- t 7 ity of the water would be: increased!' hut- laboratory experimen' j have shown that it is almost impossible to compress water. Indeed, j for a long time it was thought that water was absolutely ineompres-- i instruments' At has sihlebut by the use of more been found that at a depth of a mile the density water is jimlv all practical greater .than at the surface.
