The EARTH-We are "on it." The
earth is an old subject, we don't know how
old. Wise men have endeavored to ascer-
tain its age by counting the wrinkles on its
horns, and have succeeded very we'll, only
differing in their calculations few thousand
centuries or so. We have several reasons for
writing upon the earth, the principal one
being the imperfect facilities for getting on
any other planet to write. Nothing prevents
our writing upon the sun or upon the moon,
except the difficulty of getting there.
The earth is the third planet in order from
the sun, and the largest within the belt Of
the Planetoids. We have wondered some
times why the earth didn't have belt all to
itself, being the Champion of the Universe.
The ancients looked upon the earth as fat
disc, swimming upon water, like piece of
toast in basin of milk. Once upon time
a lot of adventurous young aneients set out
to find the jumping of place, and continuing
on in nearly e straight line, they were as
tonished to find themselves on the very spot
from whence they started. They informed
their parents Of the circumstance, and they,
after about century Of exceedingly painful
and intent reflection upon the subject, came
to the conclusion that the earth must be
round, '' because if it wasn't, triunphantly
asked one jolly old ancient, chow could
the boys get round it?" There was no get
ting around that, and the earth has been OIL
a spherical form ever since.
tits estimated that about two-t thirds of the
surface Of the Globe is covered with water
Although millions of living creatures slack
their thirst daily, the quantity Of water hai
not been diminished forseveral centuries, a
least not since the introduction of drinking
saloons, which prove great saving of water
and are thereby Of immense benefit to navi
cation.
The earth is not perfect globe in shape
being aattened at the poles, as voters nose
frequently are on the occasion Of an exciting
and closely contested election.
The greatest distance Of the earth from tn
sun is 90 millions Of miles and the least dis
lance something over "a millions of miles
It will be well to bear this fact in mind
whenever an air line railroad is built betWesi

fall due in 1887. The Dividend Bonds fall
