Salt In the Sea,

Units deepest parts the sea is intensely
blue, but where it is shallow it is a
bright green color, which prevails until
soundings cease TO be struck! Some
people ascribe the blue to the reflection
of the sky, and say that if the green
water which is found nearer land were
piled up in a basin as deep as that
which holds the blue, it would be the
same color. But the true cause of the
difference between the two is the guam
tity of salt which the water contains.
Some parts of the sea are much salter
than others, and it is these which are
the bluest.
That the sea-water is denser in one
part than another is the result of evap-
grafton, less rainfall and a smaller i'm
portation of fresh water by means of
rivers, etc. 1t is estimated that eight
feet of water are annually withdrawn
from the Red sea by evaporation only,
and it is not surprising that it is salter
then the Baltic, where the evaporation
Is very small, and where, unlike it,
there is an influx of water from various
streams and heavy annual rainfalls.
AOOO W Ol1C OSCcb1l Ocblb CU dill
The streams which feed it bring with
them the salts of the soil through which
they pass. As evaporation is ever 60
ing on, one would think that sea water
must ever grow more lime-like but such
is not the case. The heavy heated
waters of the tropics carry saline mat
ter to be absorbed by the fresher wat
ers, which in their turn rush forth to
seek home in more hospitable re-
gions; and hence it is that the seas from
which there is no evaporation, and
which receive abundant supplies from
rivers, etc, keep up their character
and do not become saltless lakes.
So the sea is salt by reason of the
earth washings which are poured into
it; it has different densities because
of evaporation, rainfalls and rivers,
as it is prevented from stagnating by
a universal system of ocean currents.

THE USE OF TOBACCO.
Low Its Use DeleteriOusly Affects the De-
veIOpments of Boys

Low ITS Use Deleteriously Affects the De-
ve!opments of Boys.
The use of tobacco by growing boys
is SO generally recognized as pernicious,
that 1t IS extraordinary that measures
are not urged upon those having the
care OF youth to prevent the habit.
Already it has been prohibited in the
United States Naval Academy at An
napolis, at the United States Military
Academy at West Point, in the Phil
lips Exeter Academy, New Hampshire,
and In various other enlightened educa-
tional inititutions.
This was not the result of prejudice
Or hobbyism. IF any set OF men are
free from these vices of learning, it is
the naval surgeons, and it was especial
II from them, and particularly from Dr.
A L. Gihon, U. S. N, that this attack
on the weed began. The Indictment
laid against it charged:
l. That it leads to impaired nutri-
ton OF the nerve centers.
2. That it is fertile cause of neural
gial, vertigo and indigestion.
g. That it irritates the mouth and
throat, and thus destroys the purity of
the voice.
(. That by excitation of the optic
nerve, it produces amaurosis and other
defects Of vision.
5. That 1t causes a tremuIous hand
and an intermittent pulse.
Is. That one of its conspicuous effects
is to develop irritation of the heart.
Z. That it retards the cell changes
on which the development of the ado
lescent depends.
This Is & formidable bill Of particu-
lars and yet each of these charges is
preferred by the best authority, and,
what IS more, each is substantiated by
al abundance of clinical evidence.
Testimony is also adduced from the
class records Of schools and colleges,
which indicates very positively that the
effect Of tobacco On the mental facul-
ties is deteriorating. The best scholars
are not tobacco users ;non-sm0kers take
tie highest rank III every grade, and
W-ether we look at the exceptionally
bright students, or compare the aver
age Of those who use and those who re-
fIaia from tobacco, the result shows
tie same.
With these facts staring us in the face,
it becomes the duty Of every school
master and every parent to set himself
Iesolutely against the beginning Of this
injurious indulgence.
II is, indeed, no easy matter to pro-
Libit II successfully. There is cur
Ions attraction about this nauseous
pant which has never been explained.
4 habitual consumer of it cannot ex-
plain its fascination. It has extended
over the world with marvellous facility.
Nevertheless, we believe that the
youth of America are intelligent and
ambitious enough, in the aggregate, to
be trusted. If the consequences of to-
bacco-using are plainly stated by an au-
thority that lad respects, 1t viii often
lead him to drop the habit, or to re-
frain from beginning it, when threats
and punishments would not. The lat
ter he regards as an exercise of arbitra-
~ power. the former appeals to his
reason and good sense. It is the duty

Meerschaum Statistics.

The place most productive of this
mineral is known to be near the town
Of Eski-scheir, in Anatolia, Asia Minor.
A recent account by Herr Adler states
that the preparation of 100 boxes of
meerschaum there takes twelve to ff-
teen persons two months, and costs
about e120. In Eslli-scheir the average
price of the box of mercantile ware has
varied since 1873 between about e6 to
eI0 (ast year it was about the former).
Refuse ware can be had at about an
eighth of the price. There are ten
qualities, aed each is to be had in four
sizes, there being twenty-five to forty
pieces of the first size per box, and $50
to 1,500 pieces of the fourth (the box
is thirtysix inches long, eight inches
broad and fifteen and one-half inches
deep. In the last two decades the ex-
port of meerschaum has considerably
increased; from 5000 boxes in 1866 it
has risen to II, loom 1881.
In Constantinople the trade is man
aged by about fifteen firms-Austrian,
Bulgarian, Greek, Armenian, Turkish
who bring their wares into the Vienna
market. The large importation into
Vienna may be said to date from be-
tween 1850 and 1860, when the pro-
duction of pipe-bowls and cigar-tips
was greatly increased for export to En-
gland, France and North America. In
1860 a considerable export of pipes to
San Francisco was first developed,
while large quantities of cigar-tips were
sent to America and Australia via Ham
burg. Since then the conditions of the
trade have altered much, chiefly in con-
sequence of the high duties imposed in
America. In that country arose, with
the aid of emigrant turner's from Aus
tTalia, home industry, which has sue
cessfully competed with the Vienna
pipe manufacturer (for the product of
which America was previously the best
customer). With France and Germany.
the United States obtains the raw pro
duct mainly from Austria.

Avoid All This.

In promulgating your esoteric cogita-
lions, or calculating your superficial
sentimentaities and amicable, philoso-
phical or psychological observations,
beware of platitudinous ponderosity.
Let your conversational communica-
ticns possess a clarified conciseness, a
compacted comprehensibleness, coales-
cent consistency, and a concatenated
cogency. Eschew all conglomerations
of hatulent garrulitY, jojune babblement
and assinine affections. Let your ex-
temporaneous descantings and unpre-
meditated expatiations have intelIigi-
bility and veracious vivacity, without
rhodomontade OF thrasonical bombast.
Seduously avoid ali polysyllabic pro-
fundity, pompous prolixlty, psittaceous
vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity and
vauiloquent vapidity. Shun double en-
tentes, prurient jocosity and pestiferous
profanity, obscurant or apparent. In
other words, talk plainly, briefly, natur-
ally, sensibly, trlthfully, purely. Keep
from "slang;" don't put on airs; say
what you mean; mean what you say.
And don't use hig words.-Neac I'm

Calling on the Governor.

J. NJ. D. Kelly, Clerk, and Jim Hew-
lit, Sheriff, of Carroll county, came to
Atlanta and determined to call on Gov.
Stephens. Before doing so, they took
a shave, had their hair trimmed, and
dyked up in new suits. The hall door
of the mansion was open, and the visit
ors, noticing two men at the other end
of the hall, walked in. AS they passed
the threshold they bowed and touched
their hats gracefully. The men at the
lower end of the hall did the same.
"They motioned to us to go in this
parlor," said Kelly, turning to the right
and walking in. After sitting there
awhile, Hewitt said:
"Are you sure that fellow told us to
come in here?"

AS Kelly walked out of the parlor
door he saw man walk out of door
on the same side, at the other end of
the hall
did you say go in there?" Kelly
asked, reckoning back into the parlor.
Instantly the man at the other end
beckoned back to the parlor, and Kelly
re-entered it.
He says right in here, Jim. 1 saw
him again"
Another long wait. At last both
visitors got uneasy, and determined to
try it again. AS they walked out into
the hall, two men entered it again from
the same side, lower down Hewitt and
Kelly again motioned toward the parlor.
Both the strange men pointed to the
parlor. They started back, when Kel-

The Very Worst of American Snakes,

Ordinarily the jingle of handful of
rings Is not an unpleasant sound, but
when it happens that these rings are
fastened to six or seven feet of serpent
as thick as a mans wrist, and that ser
pent is armed with the whitest and
sharpest of fangs, nearly an inch in
length, with cisterns of liquid poison at
their base, the music doesn't seem
cheerful or inspiring. The snake family
are known TO have but little regard for
the doctrine Of moral suasion, are apt to
be rash in their conclusions and hasty
III their actions, as well as profoundly
indifferent to argument or apology,
reason and politeness being entirely
wasted on them. Only distance or
brute force suffices to restrain their in
sane propensity to probe every living
thing within reach Of those delicate
needles of worry. AS the "big Indian"
among his lesser braves, so is the dia-
mond rattlesnake of the Southern
States among other American serpents.
Dressed in a brownish-coIored coat
plaided with lighted lines in diamond
shaped blocks, and with dignity and in
dependence stamped on every curve
and motion, the sleek, y-iooking ras-
cal glides slowly through ''hamok" and
"scYub," a terror to man and beast,
turning aside for none, nor going out of
his way to attack any unless pressed by
hunger, which seldom happens in this
climate where animal life abounds. AS
lie moves quietly along, his wicked lit
tie eyes seem to emit greenish light
and shine with as much brilliancy as
the jewels of finished coquette. Moth
ing seems to escape his observation,
and on the slightest movement near
him he swings into his fighting attitude,
raising his upper jaw and erecting his
fangs, which, in state of repose, lie
closely packed in the soft muscles of
his mouth This snake is not as active
as his copperhead cousin of the North,
nor so quick to strike, but one blow is
almost always fatal His fangs are so
long that they penetrate deep into the
muscles and veins Of his victim, who
has little time for more than q single
sood-by before closing his eyes forever.

Tie Making of Honey.

In Great Britain bee culture is car
rled ont or but small scale, compared
with the immense "bee ranches" of
some OF the American States, or even
OF Russia, Hungary, Hanover, Hesse,
Cassel, Finland, Greece, Cyprus. In
Siberia the exiles pasture thousands
of swarms on the heaths of the Altai
range, and in the Caucasus the Mere
times and Grusinians live in plenty by
the sale of the honey stored by their
winged fiocks. Still, even in England,
the apiarian, as the bee-master likes to
be styled In print, is no mean person
age. There are numerous societies
devoted to his interests His wards
possess an extensive literature, and
one or more journals, published ex-
pressly for the dissemination of inform
alton connected with their welfare.
There is even an apiarian vernacular,
and the bee-keeper has his shows, din
ners, and his professional quarrels.
In this country, where the minister
of agriculture is still unknown, the
dissemination of information of this
sort is left to private individuals, or to
societies such as the Bee-Keepers' Asso-
citation. But In Germany the different
Governments are so alive to the impor-
lance of this source of profit to the
peasant that the children are taught the
best mode of bee cultivation, and a
schoolmaster does not receive his di-
ploma until he satisfies the State
Examiner that he is familiar with the
science of "bie9le?1UGter.
1t is in the United States, however,
that honey-making is pursued on the
largest scale; the "bee ranches" are es-
adjustments as extensive In their way
as the vast wheat farms about which we
hear so much In California as much
as $4,000 worth of honey has been pro-
duced in one year from 1900 stocks,
and results quite as extraordinary might
be cited from other States. We learn.
| for example, from an American journal
devoted to "the honey trade" that in
1881 the surplus cOmb-hOney of the
transatlantic bees amounted to 9.467,-
622 pounds. New York heads the roll
OF honey-producing States; then follow
Pennsylvania, Canada, Ohio, Michigan.
Wisconsin, Illinois and Louisiana In
the order named, California, in spite Of
the size of its ranches" and the boosted
profusion of its fora, barely producing
fortieth part of what the Dominion
does, while the average per colony is
only sixty-three pounds, compared with
the 159 pounds which is yielded by
every colony OF Dakota bees. Alto
gether there are in North America
about 300,0 600 colonies of bees, which
yield, it is calculated, over 100, 900, coo
pounds of honey, worth at least $780,
600, for the figures given refer solely to
the honey marketed, and even then not
over twelfth of the bee-keepers make
returns of their crops.
1t is estimated that one acre will sup
port about twenty-five swarms: and
such is the magnitude of the business
in some parts Of America, that a single
firm keeps two steam saws constantly
employed in cutting up the timber used
in constructing the boxes for holding
the comb-honey. Though most flowers
yield some food for bees, yet much
skill is required in the selection of a
grazing district. -LOndo11 Standard.

The Speed and Size of Atlantic Waves

The London Nautical Magazine con-
tains an article by Capt. Riddle, the
Atlantic steamship commander, on the
height and velocity OF Atlantic waves, q
subject which, as he says, is to the sea-
man one of the most important of the
day. It has been asserted that the
average velocity of great Atlantic waves
is about nine miles an hour. But Capt
Riddle states that he has frequently
measured the speed in Atlantic gales
and found it twenty-five miles per
hour, plus the rate at which the ship
was steaming through the water when
nearly or quite head to wind (say four
knots an hour)." This estimate is no
doubt nearer the truth than the former
DIR. Scoresby gave the rate of travel for
waves of the largest size at about
thirty-two miles an hour, and Lieut..
Maury gave it as rarely exceeding
thirty miles, while other observers
mention still higher figures as COCA
sionally attained by waves of excessive
length. It is known that some of the
great Atlantic gales which assail the
British coasts move progressively, as
the English meteorologist Ley recently
recorded, at rate of more than sixty
miles an hour, and it is, therefore,
highly probable that in the severest
hurricanes the ocean wave may be
| driven with greater force than even the
| most observant navigators suppose.
Admiral Fitzroy mentions that Scores
by was skeptical as to the reports of
seamen who recorded waves thirty feet
high until his last voyage, when he
made measurements of some exceeding
this height. According to Capt Riddle
the height from the trough to crest oc-
casionally exceeds forty feet. The
question is one Of great interest to safe
navigation in the heavy Atlantic winter
gales, and the able officers of Atlantic
steamships would do well to make care
full observations on the height, length
and velocity of the mountainous seas"
they encounter.
