Wonders of the Sea.

The sea occupies three fths of the
earth's surface
A mile down the water has a press
ure of a ton to the square inch.
1t has been proven that at the
depth OF 3, 500 feet the waves arenot
felt.
At some places the force of the sea-
dashing upon the rocks on the shore
is said to be II tons to the square
yard.
The temperature is the same, vary
ing only a trife from the ice of the
pole to the burning sun Of the equa-
tor
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.
If a box six feet deep were filed with
sea water, aud the water allowed to
evaporate in the sun, there would be
two inches of salt left at the bottom.
Taking the average dept of the ocean
to be three miles, there would be a
layer of pure salt $50 feet thick on
the Alanuic.
Waves are very deceptive; to look
at them in 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 SO miles an hour
more than twice as fast as the swift
est steamer. The distance from
valley to valley is generally Is times
the height; hence. a wave five feet
high viii eYtend. over 8 feet qf9fater.

Mr. c. r. Davis introduced bill making
murder punishable by life imprisonment,
and Speaker Graves got senate bill through
giving the United States jurisdiction over
certain lands in Duluth for the purpose of
constructing ship canal
The bills prohibiting prize fighting and
sparring matches, and creating two addition
al judges for the Ramsey county district
court both passed the senate.
The bill introduced by Representatives Sum-
ner yesterday relative to the board of ware
house commissioners is in effect a measure
that will make all elevators and warehouses
at st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and other
points where grain is stored in bulk, public
warehouses. tits designed to prevent the
mixing of grain, which it is claimed can now be
done under the present law by those who say
that their elevators are private and that
they are handling their own grain. The bill
is almost the same as that recommended by
the commissioners, only a few minor changes
being made.
Wednesday, Feb. g..
SENATE.-No thing occurred in the senate
yesterday to interrupt the smooth, even
course OF the routine order. None of the
measures that came up were of sufficient inn
portance to call for extended debate, and the
only comment offered on any bill were a few
remarks made when the bill amending the
libel law SO as to make its provisions for re.
traction fully applicable to weekly newspa-
pers came up in general orders. Senator
Hixon. while he did not oppose the bill, was
evidently opposed in q good-natured way to
the weekly newspapers. The state was
cursed with littlecountryp papers, he remarked,
and they had all the powers and privileges
they were entitled to. man could 60 out
and buy all of them he might want
for any purpose for a hundred dol
| lars apiece. Mr.. Edwards remarked, thatthe
gentleman had placed the price too high. and
then the matter was dropped. The bill was
| placed on the calendar.
Among the bills introduced was one put in
| by Senator Edwards to prevent people from
wearing for any purpose Loyal Legion and
Grand Army badges who are not entitled to
| such decorations. The penalt es named fol
| violation of this prohi bition are fine of not
less than 500 nor more than $3.50 for the
first offense; a fine of not less than $500 MOI
more than 81 600, or imprisonment for not
less than thirty days nor more than SIX
| months for subsequent offenses.
