Most of our globe is like that, for that is the bottom of the sea, as pictured by modern science, writes Raymond J. Brown In the Popular Science Monthly. In round numbers the earths surface consists of 57, 000,0 K) square miles of land and 140,000,000 square miles of water. These figures, however, give but a vague idea of the real immensity of the vast, marvelous sea. The average depth of sea is live times greater than the average height of land above sea level over the whole earth, the average depth of the sea being more than two and one-hal- f miles, while the average height of land Is half a mile. If Mount Everest, tallest mountain on earth, five and one-ha- lf miles high, were dropped into one of the deepest parts of the ocean, its summit would be submerged by more than half a mile. In fact, if all the land could be leveled off flush with the sea, and all the debris dumped in the water, the sea could scarcely be changed at all. There still would be an ocean one and three-fourth- s miles deep.

On this island he found a race of Indians in a palisaded town of about 1,500 inhabitants, and living by a rude agriculture and fishing. This place was called llochelaga. On the day following his arrival at tlie island, Cartier, with a few companions and twenty mariners, left his boats and. conducted by three natives, visited the town, which stood on rlfing ground about half a mile from the river at about what ia now the center of tha city of Montreal Cartier saw on all delds sides large and fairly well-tille- d in which were growing abundant crops of maize or Indian corn. The town was fortified, and It contained about 50 houses made of wood and bark. From the town the visitors were conducted to the top of the mountain which rose to the west of the town. "We named that mountain Mont Royal, wrote Cartier, In his account of his travels. "Therefrom one sees very far. The name "Mont Royal with slight corruption gives ns the name of today, Montreal.

Democratic speakers and writers are preparing to reveal to voteis the official record showing the responsibility of the Republican Congress of 1919 and the Harding-Coolidg- e administration for the ruinous deflation which has bankrupted many thousands of farmers and is now reacting on Industry. The facts show that the policy of deflation was deliberately adopted and executed by the Republicans in the Interest of Big Business. Senator Owen ,ln the course of an exhaustive speech in the Senate charged, without denial from any Republican then or since, that a "tip was given in advance to certain powerful Individuals and interests that the "squeeze was coming so that they might escape the consequences. That Republican convention (of 1920) declared in favor pf a policy of deflation, said Senator Owen. In his (Candidate Harding's) speech of acceptance he declared in favor of a policy of deflation. The time for action had come. , All of the arrangements for bringing the panic had been made. The farm vLoan banks were Closed; theWar Pinanc'e Cotporatlbn was closed, the Republican Congress had fastened on the federal Reserve banking system that cruel and criminal progressive Interest rate amendment, under which the panic of 1920 and 1921 was brought about and under which a bank in Alabama was per cent. charged 87 to the public never disclosed They their purpose to produce a panic until it was too late for the farmers, merchants and bankers of the South and West, and honest business men-othe country generally, to take the steps necessary to protect their interests. Then Senator Owen called a Republican Senator to witness the truth of the statement that private word had been given to favorites that the ruin was about to be wrought so that they might save themselves while the agricultural producer, the mechanic, the small merchant, and even the little 'banker were crashed. The Republican Senators who heard Senator Owens accusation sat silent, uttering no word of challenge or explanation. No Republican official of administration the Harding-Coolidghas ever sought to refute his statements. One day I was speaking in the Senate on this phase of the deflation panic, continued Senator Owen, "and when I finished a Republican Senator from the West, himself a millionaire, came to me and said: 'You are right about them sending word to certain people that the panic was coming. They sent me word several days before it came and suggested that I do the thing necessary to protect myself and prevent losses. He told me that the panic had cost him thousands a, Slow Poisons in Tea When Improperly Made . 1-- 2 ... . . On a football field a man with a loud voice was boasting to a party of admiring youngsters of the doughty deeds he had done on the football field in days gone by. Suddenly he turned his attention to the band. NAhI he observed, "those fellows play decently, but they've fallen off terribly since I was a member of the band. What I ejaculated one of his hearers.

' Its stimulating effects rc dae .tostm presence in tea leaves of a powerful drug called theine. If the pot is not allowed to stand too long, only a small quantity of this substance is dissolved out of the leaves by the hot water, and the tea refreshes us without doing any harm. When the teapot is allowed to remain for hours on the stove, an excessive quantity of theine is extracted from the leaves, together with a larger , amount of another semipoisonous substance known as tannin. . These two together form a real poison, affecting the nerves, the digestion and the general health. Stewed tea is almost as harmful as opium or cocaine. The bablt of taking it in this way Is soon formed, and the tea drunkard thinks nothing of consuming 20 or 30 cups a day.
