THE OCEANS VOLUME.

Depth to Which 1t Would Cover the
Land IT 1t Were Fiattened Out.
At the last meeting of the Royal So
cicty of Edingburgh. DR.. John Murray
CT the Challenger expedition made q
communication of ''The Height and
Volume of the Dry Land and the
Depth and Volume Of the Ocean"
According to his own Investigations
the mean height of the land of the
globe was 2.230 feet above the sea
level, and the mean depth of the
ocean was II. $50 feet. or 1850
fathoms. If the ocean were regarded
as being divided into two parts by the
1,OoO.fathom line. it would be found
that the mean depth of the area hav-
ing less depth than 1000 fathoms was
ZOOS feet, or 33S fathOms. or nearly
the same depth beneath the sea as the
height OF the dry land above it. On
the other hand. the mean depth of the
area beyond the 1000 fathoms is H.
$50 feet, or 9. 44O fathoms. The for
mer area-called by DR.. Murray the
transitional area''-occupies "a
900. 600 square miles; and the latter
area. which is the abysmal area, and
is situated fully three miles below the
average heights of the continents. oc-
cupies 113. 00O. 600 square miles. or
more than half of the surface OF the
earth. In tho transitional area of the
ocean there are many and varied con-
ditions in respect of light, heat, cur
rents. changes of level. the character
and variety of the deposits. and in the
animals and plants which inhabit the
various parts of the region.
The deposits are in most respects
similar to those which make up a very
large part of tho sedimentary forma-
ton of the dry land. In the ahysmal
area there is uniform set of condi-
tons, the tenn perature being near the
freezing point, with an annual range
not exceeding degrees Fair, and
there being no sunlight or plant life.
There is a great abundance of animal
life; but the forms from various parts
of the area are very similar, and un-
like those of shallower waters; and the
deposits, which accumulate slowly,
are unlike any of the sedimentary de-
posts of the dry land. From DR.:
Murray's Investigations. it also APP
pears that if the dry land of the globe
were reduced to the sea level by being
removed to and piled up in the shall
lower waters of the ocean. then its ex-
tent would be about 80. 000,000 square
miles. and the rest of the earth would
be covered by an ocean extending to
113. 100000 square miles. Again.
should the whole of the solid land be
reduced to one level under the ocean.
then the surface of the earth would be
covered by an ocean with q uniform
depth of about two miles.-Engineer-

TOLEDO OIL REFINERY.

tlOleuO Dee.)
Mr.. II. T. Yaryan has in his office a
sample of refined Wood county oil
which is perfectly odorless, of the pure
"water white" grade, and smokeless,
which has been refined by new pro-
cess which promises to revolutionize the
entire oil industry.
Mr.. Yaryan has just returned from
the east, where he has had the oil test
ed, and experts say that it is as near
perfect rs it is possible to make it,.
When east he consulted capitalists who
are eager to put all the money neces-
sary into it. Mr., Yaryan has, however,
organized local company, with plenty
least the operations will he confined to a
refinary which will be started in Toledo.
The process has been patented, and
inasmuch as the Standard Oil company
has again and again announced the re-
fining of Wood county oil impossible,
Mr.. Yaryan and those connected with
him are iubilant over the result. In
1868 Mr.. Yaryan employed a process in
the refining of Tennessee oil which was
not perfect, as II had considerable of an
odor and smoke. The present process
ia an improvement on that of Tennessee.
Wood county oil can be refined at five
cents barrel over that of Pennsylvania
oil, and can he placed here in Toledo
for $1.15 less per barrel The Toledo
company is to be congratulated ON the
result.

Colum bus, principally in reunions, pa
rade and &. A. r. Encampment, and
failed to see much of the real merits of
the Centennial Exhibitions, which are
pronounced the finest in some respects
ever witnessed in the country. The
general verdict is that but few cities
in the Union could have more grace
fully handled the great mass of people
than did the management at Columbus,
and given more complete satisfaction.
Time and space have been so thorough
ly occupied this week that no attempt
can be made to chronicle events as they
appeared through our opticles of vision,
but hope for more of both next week.

The Democrats of Toledo had their
usual monkey and parrot racket on
Saturday last at their convention to
select delegates to the congressional
convention at Fremont on Wednesday.
The usual result followed at Fremont,
both factions being knocked out on the
47 round, Col. w. e. Haynes. of Ere
mont, being nominated for Congress
on the 47th ballot. 1t is very unfor-
tunate to have too many aspirants for
Congress in a small locality. Wood
county can fully verify this fact. The
most outrageous corruption in either
party will be sanctioned and assisted, to
secure votes for nomination and then
to secure the election. The people
must wake up to this state of affairs.

TnE NEW cATuoLIC ruuR,II.

We have known for some time that
new church edifice was to be erected
in Perrysburg by the Catholic congrega-
ton of this place, but just how soon It
was to bo commenced and completed
was not known until this week. Rev.
G. II. Rioken furnished the Perrysburg
correspondent of the Toledo Bee with
the following information on the sub
PERRYsBuRG, Sept. 1871 am under
obligation TO Rev. G.. II. RielSen, the
able pastor of the Pcrrysburg Catholic
church, for the following statement of
the improvements that are to be made
during this and tho ensuing year by
that society in the town of Pcrrysburg.
The Catholics own three acres of ground
in the most conspicuous and desirable
locationiin the corporation. During the
coming season they will erect thereon
one of the finest churches in tho Mnu
'mco valley, not excepting the city of
Toledo, and that is saying much. It's
architecture is to be purely gothic, OF
which style, believe, the Protestant
Episcopal church furnishes the finest
specimen in Toledo, Its dimensions will
be 134S55, with steeple 175 feet high
1t is designed to accommodate 800 wor-
shippers and will cost $4,000. There are
now over $4,000 on hand and subscrip-
tionssto considerable amount in addi-
ton guaranteed, and the reverend
pastor affirmed with considerable en-
phasis-you may say that the church
will be built next season, and when
completed will be free from debt. The
material will be pressed brick, with
Berea sandstone trimmings.
There will also be built, this fall in
the Catholic cemetery, vault l4x20, OF
blue stone, with Berea sandstone trim
mings.

got the name OF Old Hickory is again
going the rounds, and will be new to some.
During the Greek war he had II bad cold
and his soldiers made him shelter OF
hickory bark. The next morning lipsy
soldier, not knowing who was under the
bark, kicked il over. AS the general,
epeechless with rage, struggled out OF the
ruins, the soldier yelled, "Hello, Old Hick'
ory Come out of your bark, and take a
drink ~ When the soldiers saw Jackson
shaking the bark from his uniform. they
gave three cleers for "old Hickory" and
the name stuck.
