OCEAN WONDERS,
Size and Force Of Waves-Fathoming {
the Deep Blue Sea.

Size and Force Of Waves-Fathoming Of
the Deep Blue Sea.
The sea occupies three-ffths of the
surface of the earth. At the depth OF
about $500 feet waves are not felt.
The temperature is the same, varying
only trifle from the ice of the pole to
the burning sun of the equator. A
mile down the water has pressure Of
over ton to the square inch. If a box
six feet deep were filed with sea wa.
ter and allowed to evaporate under the
sun, there would be two inches of salt
left on the bottom. Taking the aver.
age depth of the ocean to be three
miles, there would be layer of pure
salt 23O feet thick on the bed of the
Atlantic. The water is colder at the
bottom than at the surface. In the
many bays on the coast of Norway the
water often freezes at the bottom be.
fore it does above. Waves are very
deceptive. To look at them in .
storm one would think the water trav.
eled. The water stays in the same
place, but the motion goes on. Some.
times in storms these waves are forty
feet high, and travel fifty miles an
hour-more than twice as fast as the
swiftest steamer. The distance from
valley to valley is generally fifteen
times the height, hence wave five feet
high will extend over seventy-five feet
of water. The force of the sea dash
ing on Bell Rock is said to be fifteen
tons for each square yard. Evapora.
ton is wonderful power in drawing
the water from the sea. Every year a
layer of the entire sea, fourteen feet
thick, is taken up into the clouds.
The wind bears their burden into the
land, and the water comes down in
rain upon the fields, to flow back at
last through rivers. The depth of the
sea presents an interesting problem. II
the Atlantic were lowered 6, 564 feet, the
distance from shore to shore would be
half as great, or 1900 miles. If low
cred little more than three miles,
say 1850 feet, there would be aIoad
of dry land from Newfoundland to Ire
land. This is the plane ON which the
great Atlantic cables are laid. The
Mediterranean is comparatively shall.
low. A drying up of $50 feet would
leave three different seas, and Africa
would be joined to Italy. The British
channel is more like pond, which
accounts for its choppy waves. 1t has
been found difficult to get correct
soundings of the Atlantic. A midship-
man of the navy overcame the Difficult
ty, and shot weighing thirty pounds
carries down the line. A hole is bored
through the sinker, through which a
rod of iron is passed, moving e:sily
back and forth. In the end of the bal
cup is dug out, and the inside coated
with lard. The bar is made fast tc, tn.
line. and a sling holds the shot OH.
When the bar, which extends below
the ball, touches the earth. the slim!
unhooks and the shot slides off. Tbs
lard in the end of The bar holds sons
of the sand, OF whatever may be OF
the bottom, and drop shuts over the
cup to keep the water from washing
the sand out. When the ground il
reached, shock is felt as if an electro
current had passed through the line
Round and Round.

THE DIVORCE.

Yes, Squire, I've called to stop that suit
It's caused enough of pain
An John has just been taken sick
With fever on the brain.
There's no one else in all the world
Can nurse him same As j:
All. many night I've cared for him,
In years that have gone by.
An he has just as often watched
Der me-Excnse that tear
Just was thinkin OF the time
When death came awful near;
For nights and nights he never slept
To him l owe my life
tell We, 6Quire. it's worth the world
TO know l IN still his wife.
The dreadful thought clings to my mind:
Perhaps the Lord of might
will come. in wrath, to grant divorce
He only has the right;
For long ago when John an l
United hand an heart,
We made the vow in His great name
That death alone SHOULD part.
All! little tits we know of death
Until we feel 1t nigh:
An little do we realize
How soon we all may die.
For, il we did, we who have Joined
Two lives as one in heart
Would feel that soon enough would come
The time when we must part.
So, lawyer. haste an do away
Whatever you have done.
Iwant to know that all 10 right
Before the set of sun.
An when the evening shadows fall,
Beside Johns bed of pain
Iii pray the Lord to spare his life
An let us try again.

Extent of Bird.Destruction.

How enormous has been the slaughter
Of innocent birds for the purpose Of
Identifying ugly and heartless women
is shown by these statistics: England
imports from India, Africa and Ameri-
ca ten million dollars worth of feathers
and birds every year. One and half
million exotic birds, including 250,O
humming birds. are annually imported
to France and England. The ostrich
feathers alone do not imply slaughter
of the birds for the sake of a fashion
which fortunately is now being frowned
on by the more sensible women.-N.

A Millionaire's Whim.

New York millionaire for a Turkish
lounging-room to be built at the back
of his house. The walls are to be of
some rare wood, inlaid with silver
arabasques. Running around the entire
apartment will be low divan covered
with rich silk "shot" with gold and
silver threads, and the floor is to be
one complete design in MOSAIC, made
up of thousands of pieces of stone.
Over this floor will be thrown expen-
sive Turkish rugs, divan constructed
of great silk and satin covered pillows
being arranged in the center of the
apartment. Silver lattice work cover.
ing the windows will admit the light,
the latter being softened at pleasure by
means of rich hangings. From niche
will issue jet of water, falling into a
marble basin. The roof of the extern

drapery can be fashioned above the
heads of the loungers, admitting the air
through its folds, and still keeping out
