Color of the Ocean.

1t is a commonly observed fact that
the usual color of the ocean is blush
green Of a darker tint at a distance
from land, and clearer toward the
shores. According to DR.. Scoresby,
the hue of the Greenland sea varies
from ultramarine blue, to olive green,
and from the purest transparency TO
great opacity. The surface of the Med
iterranean, in its upper part. is SAID to
have, at times, a purple tint. IN the
Gulf of Guinea the sea sometimes ap-
pears white; about the Maldive islands
black; and near California it has red
dish appearance. Various causes must
of course cooperate to produce this
diversity of tint. The prevailing blue
color is generally ascribed to the great
er refragitility of the blue rays of light,
which, by reason of that property, pass
|, in greatest abundance through the wa
ter. The other cOlOrs are ascrlbed to
the existence of vast numbers of min
ute animalcule-to marine vegetables
at or near the surface-to the color of
the soil, the infusion of earthy sub
stanceS-and very often the tint is
modified by the aspect of the sky.
The phosphorescent or Shiny ap-
pearance of the ocean, which is COM
mon phenomenon, is also ascribed
to animalcul8 and to putrescent
matter diffused through the water.
The temperature of the ocean also ex-
hibits some peculiar and interesting
phenomena. Within the tropics the
mean temperature is about 50 deg, and
generally ranges between Il and 81 deg.
vt these depths the temperature is
probably nearly the same under every
latitude, In the torrid zone it is found
to diminish with the depth, while in the
| polar seas it increases with the depth.

welled from the bruised lips. They
had long been silent, and the hands
which a few moments since had resem-
bled Marmajo's. had been battered into
a bleeding pulp.
On, still on! Was the devil never GO
ing to draw rein?
The wind blew back the froth that
dropped from the horses mouth, and
now and then it fell like snow-flakes
upon the victim of his master revenge.
AS Marmajo could not ride to the end
of the world, he stopped at last. Upon
the borders of stream that ran through
the country to the more pretentiouS
Gila, the reprobate drew rein.
Tie moon, high up in the heavens
when he flung his lariat, was near the
rim of the horizon; but its beams fell
upon the water, and the wild flowers
that beautified the banks.
Marmajo dismounted, and with a
fiendish look walked towards the vic
tim.
''Well, my loye-making Americana"
he exclaimed. Il fancy Sonora Inez
you'd not see so much beauty in your
face were she to meet you now"
A dreadful sight met the laSSoers
gaze when he stood over the man
whom he had dragged at his horses
heels for twenty miles. The semblance
of humanity WAS all that withStood the
journey, and over this the Mexican
stopped with a with cry. He had
discovered the lariat had dropped
over the wrong mani But another and
more terrible discovery wasyet to come!
Upon the breast, torn by the rocks and
briers, gliStened something that attrac-
ted Marmajo's attention. Snatching it
eagerly, he held a locket in his hand.
One glance at it, and he staggered to
his feet with piercing shout one long,
loud cry of killing agony.
For a moment he swayed to and fro.
then, with Il cry of Leon, my brotherl"
he fell forward upon his victim, and
glued his lips to the battered face. He
had not only lasSOed the wrong man,
but his boy brother, Leon.
In the agony of the moment the JOY
full past came over the Mexican mind,
and the moons last beams fell upon
him in speechleSs misery at his brother 3
side.
BY and by he remounted and crossed
The stream. The object which he had
dragged at the heels of his horse now

Richard Compton was looking into the

Yes; but no one ever dreamed of the
brothers meeting, and Richard Comp

THE LO4D ON HIS MIND.

/ Some one, q figure arrayed in white,
with frills around its head and blood in
its eye, let him in, and he lunged with
easy grace into the first chair that went
past him, after he had made several vain
attempts to seat himself on the piano.
The reproachful figure of Mrs. Bosby-
schel regarded him with calm severity,
and her icy silence made him feel un-
comfortable.
"Moggareck," he said thickly, but
with grave earnestness, "Moggareck

PerilOuS Adventure.

The captain of a whaler, says Cheever,
gives the following account of an adj
venture which came very near being
his last. In giving an account of the
accident and singular escape, he said
that as soon as he discovered that the
line had caught in the bow of the boat,
he stopped to clear it, and attempted
to throw it out from the chock, so that
it might run free. In doing this he was
caught by turn round his left wrist,
and himself dragged overheard. He
was perfectly conscious While he was
rushing down with unknown force and
swiftness; and it appeared to him that
his arm would be torn from his body,
SO great was the resistance of the water.
He was we'll aware of his perious con-
dition, and that his only chance of.life
was to cut the line. But he could not
remove his right arm from his side, to
which it was pressed by the force of the
element through which it was drawn
When he first opened his eyes, it ap
peared as though a stream of fire was
passing before them; but as he descend
ed it grew dark, and he felt a terrible
pressure on his brain, and roaring as
of thunder in his ears. Yet he was
conscious of his situation, and made
several efforts to reach his knife that
was in his belt. At last he felt his
strength failing and his brain reeling,
the line for an instant slackened; he
reached his knife, and instantly that
the line became again taut, its edge
was upon it, and by a desperate effort of
his exhausted energies, he freed himself.
After this, he only remembered a feel
ing of suffocation, IA gurgling spasm,
and all was over, until he awoke to an
agonized sense of pain, in the boat.

Aerial Navigation near at Hand.

The Scientific American informs us
the time when aerial navigation will be
within the reach of man is near at
hand. Mr.. Breary, the Secretary of the
British Aeronautical Society, delivered
an interesting lecture on the subject at
the Grimsby Mechanics Institute, a
short time ago. Having explained the
rudiments of the science, and shown
the progress it had made, he noted the
singular fact that, although air is SO
much lighter than water is, it possesses
the power Of supporting bodies much
heavier than itself, while water only
supports bodies of about its equal
weight. ''If man could get sufficient
surface, y he says, "he could surely get
sufficient machine power for propul-
SION" Steam was at first thought out
of the question. on account of the cum
brous method of generation; but now
that it can be applied with but slight
weight, it is hoped the question is very
near solution. Many Mr.. Brearey
states, ''are now working at the problem
in secret, partly from fear of ridicule,
partly from want Of protection by pat
ent." He illustrated the different
methods for flight by models. His bats
"swooped down" upon the heads of the
audience in quite n natural manner.
The birds, too, rose and fell in graceful
motion as they traversed the air from
the platform to the end Of the room,
or, swerving to the right or left, bob
bed their beaks upon the side walls.
One large model of an alabatross came
to grief upon a gas pendant, just as it
was bending its flight into the regions
of the upper air,

Origin of Penny Postage.

A traveller salmtering through the
lake districts of England, some years
ago. says the London Examiner, ar
rived at small lpublic house just as the
postman stopped to deliver letter. A
Young girl came out to receive it. She
took it in her hand, turned it over and
over. and asked the charge. 1t was
large sum-no less than shilling.
Signing heavily, she observed that 1t
came from her brother, but that she
was too poor to take it in, and she re-
turned it to the postman accordingly.
The traveller was a man OF kindness, as
well as of observation; he offered to
pay the postage himself, and, Ill spite
of more reluctance on the girls part
than he could we'll understand, he did
nav it. and gave her the letter. No
sooner, however, was the postman
back turned than she confessed that
the proceeding had been concerted be-
tween her brother and herself; that the
letter was empty; that certain signs on
the directions conveyed all that she
wanted to know, and that, as they
could neither afford to pay postage,
they had devised this method of frank
ing the intelligence desired. The trav
eler pursued his journey, and, as he
plodded over the Cumberland Falls he
unused upon the badness of the system
which drove people to such straits for
means of correspondence, and defeated
its own objects all the time. With most
men such musings woulG have ended
before the close of the hour, but this
mans name was Rowland Hill, and it
was from this incident and these reilec-
tons that the whole scheme of penny
hostage was derived.

To cut glass without a diamond, take
any vessel you want cut, and having
heated poker in the fire until it is al
most red hot, but not quite, apply it TO
the part where you wish the crack to
begin. Having held it to the part for
about a minute. remove the poker, and
wet the place; the glass will immediate
ly crack. Having now begun the
crack, you may lead it in any direc-
ton, by merely drawing the hot poker
in the d rection you want. This will be
found extremely useful in many chem
ical experiments, where you are in want
of proper apparatus.

There is legend in Florence that a
grand duke once proclaimed that ev-
cry beggar who would appear on the
grand plaza at certain time should be
given a new suit of clothes. The beg
gars of the city were on hand promptly
when all the avenues to the plaza were
closed, and each beggar was compelled
to strip off his old clothes before re-
ceiving the suit. In the old clothes
thus collected enough money was
found secreted to build beautiful
bridge over the Aron, still called the
beggarS' bridge.
