Wonders of the Sea.

The sea occupies three-ffths Of the
surface of the earth.
At the depth of $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 ton to the square inch If box
six feet deep were filled with sea water
and allowed to evaporate under the sun,
there would be two inches of salt left
at the bottom.
Taking the average depth of the
ocean to be three miles, there would
be layer of pure salt go feet thick on
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 il does above.
Waves are very deceptive; to look at
them in a storm one would think the
whole water travelled. The water stays
in the same place, but the motion goes
on. Sometimes 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-fve feet
of water
The force of the sea dashing upon
Bell Rock is said to be seventeen tons
to the square yard.

Richard Anthony Proctor, Z. A. was born
at Chelsea, England. March %. 1897, and
graduated from st. Johns College, Cam

OF the Royal Astronomical Society in 1866
and an honorary fellow OF Kings College,
London, in 1873. He edited the Proceedings
of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1928.
In 1863 he created great interest by main

ion OF astronomers. the theory of the solar
corona, and also that Of the inner complex
solar atmosphere both Of which have since
been accepted. In 1875 Prof Proctor
severed his connection with the Catholic
Church because. rs he said. the theologians
of the church had convinced him that the
holding OF certain scientific views which he
believed TO be correct was incompatible
with loyalty TO that faith. In 1881 Mr.. Proc
