INDIGESTION
The Ace of the Earth.

Gent cman's Magazine.
AS soon as our earth ceased to be in
candescent, and became covered in
large part by water, it commenced its
depOsitions Of submarine sediments,
The oldest known sedimentary rocks,
comprising the Laurentian and Huron
ian systems of Canada, have a total
average thickness which cannot GER
tainly be estimated at anything less
than 10000 feet. Sir William Logan,
indeed, the greatest authority upon
these primeval formations, considered
the measurable thickness of his upper
and lower Laurcntian alone TO amount
respectively to 10000 and 10000 feet,
while he set down the Huronian system
as reaching some $4,000 more. But as
doubts have been raised whether the
Huronian series are not really the met
amorphosed representatives of the
Upper Laurentian, we will omit them
altogether from our calculation, 50 as
to avoid any possible cause Of ofense.
The great Cambrian system, the next
in order Of time, has thickness which
has been fairly estimated at from 2j,OOO
to 10000 feet We will adopt the
smaller figure. The Silurian is pretty
certainly known to number 5000 feet.
The Old Red Sandstone, with its doubt
ful contemporary, the Devonian, can
not be put down for less than 10000
The Carboniferous series amount to at
least $4,000 feet, the coal measures
alone sometimes attaining fully that
thickness Thus the whole Primary
group, including the so called azoic
rocks, has total vertical extent of not
less than $1,000 BY the side of these
enormous thickneSses, we can only al
low 10000 feet for the whole of the Sec
ondary formation, from the Pelmian to
the Chalk inclusive, while we shall be
generous if we again assign 1000 feet
to the little group of the Tertiary and
Post Tertiary deposits. This gives us a
total thickness for the whole geological
series of $4,000 feet. Let us allow 5000
more for the breaks between each of
these main divisions, or the unrepre-
sented strata. and we have the round
number 100000,
A tabular statement will make these
relations clear, and will allow US to
translate our known thicknesses into
conjectural but relatively ascertained
dates

About five years ago, Willard Doan,
of Grafton, Vt, while raking hay, ran
against an apple tree limb, which en-
tered his eye just below the eye-baIl.
For long time it was feared he would
lose the eye, but finally it got better,
and although it has troubled him a
good deal since, he has called it well.
Recently, however, it panied him very
keenly, and upon examination he pick
ed out piece of wood broken from the
limb, more than half an inch long and

An American gentleman largely in
terested in flour mills in the Western
States, according 10 the London Times,
has been inspecting the Hungarian mills
with view of adopting the machinery
and system of working in his own
country. The Hungarians use large
number of rollers between thirty and
forty-made of chilled iron and porce-
lain, in the place Of the buhr-stones
used in other countries. The Hungar-
ian plant and manufacture are more
expensive than in America, but the for
mer gets 50 per cent Of -four from the
wheat, while in the United States the
average yield is only 60 per cent. The
Hungarians have also sent a commits
sion to America to study the operations
there, so as to enable them, if possible,
to resist American competition in Aus
trian markets.
