THE FORCES OF NATURE.

IT is said that the shores of France
are sinking SO rapidly that in twenty
centuries the French capital will have
become entirely submerged.
DURING one year the sun attracts to-
ward the skies and makes clouds of
fourteen feet of the entire sea-oceans
everywhere-mucho of which is precipi-
tated as rain on land, and flows back
by rivers into the sea.
RECENT survey has established the
number of glaciers in the Alps at 1885,
of which 249 have length of more than
~ miles. The French Alps contain
IA glaciers, those of Italy seventy
eight, Switzerland Al and Austria 462.
TABLES of the density of the atmos-
phere, calculated from telegraphic
weather reports, have been found to
give a better clew to the movements
and origin of cyclones than the usual
method of a comparison of the isobars
and isothermes alone.
The most recent observations as to
the amount of heat the earth receives
from the sun show that in clear, pleas
ant weather 63H per cent. of heat is
absorbed by the atmosphere and only
361 per cent. reaches the soil. This
figure rises in October to Il per cent.
and sinks TO 2s per cent. in January.
