Filling Up the Sea.

To one who rejects upon the subJect
it becomes apparent that all the wearing
down of continents and islands is finally
washed into the sea. The soils through
which the rains settle are fleached OF
everything that water will dissolve. The
streams and rivers fed by the rains are
all the time wearing away their bankss
and beds by the force of their currents.
The accumulated earthly matter, as mud,
is carried into the sea. i.
Moreover, the wearing power of wayeS-
is cutting away islands and exposed
points along all the coasts. We see this
on the olter side of islands that are made
up of sand and gravel. Upon rocky
lodges the process is too slow to be per-
ceptible, but their worn slopes prove
that these, too, have lost. :: s's8;..l,; S. 3;
Whatever matter is carried into thes
ocean will be deposited on the bottoms
as soon as it comes into still water, nne
less it be a substance light enough to-
foat; but the order in which the patti!
clesw be laid down depends upon
their weight and 81 e. The lighter and
the finer bodies will be kept afoat and
adrift the longer. As result, the coarse
and heavy material sinks to the bottom
nearer the shore; the lighter and fineris
carrier further out toward the middle OF
the sea basins. :ssss2 4
If there were 10 currentsin the ocean
to take up the material brought, in BY
the rivers and distribute this widely, it:
is evident that the sea would be filing:
fastest near the shore, and that the ma,
terial laid down here would resemble
most nearly the neighboring dry land. I,
As it is, much of the coast is swept by
currents like the Gulf Stream, which
carry the mud far from the mouths of
rivers that have brought it down. Where
such shore currents do not exist, the
marginal deposits may extend out hun.
dreds of miles, as is the case at the mouth
of the Mississippi.
TO speak of the sea basin as filling up
is misleading. It is well known that the;
oceans aud seas cover about three quar-
tiers of the surface of the globe. Their
average depth is estimated at about two
miles. The average height of the land
is calculated to be less than one-ffth OF
a mile, or less than one-tenth the depth
of the ocean. 1t is, therefore, easy to
see that if the dry land were all carried
into the sea, it would not materially
change the depth of the wster.---a

Advice as to a Headache.

A teacher in Tennessee, who hasslongI
suffered from headache, and has tried
physicians and remedies with only,
ten porary relief. asks our adyice--as to|
diet and manner of living. he has q
good appetite and is otherwise appa3
rently well. >-',- 555Sf
We may premise that headache may
be due to one of many causes actlnH
together. A remedy suited to one case
may be harmful in another. Nor CAM
any case be cured without the REMOVAL
of the cause. 3 ~
