THE NORTHERN VENICE.
The City of Amsterdam and It's surround

The City of Amsterdam and It's Surround
tngS.
In respect to domestic life, the Dutch
are more like the English than the
French. They are more, much more,
clean and more simple than the French.
From the Hague travelled on to Am.
.terdam, the northern Venice, as it is
so often called. Certainly there are a
great many canals. The houses are
very picturesque and possess, like those
of Venice, considerable artistic merit.
The canals are, however, very inferior.
that is, from the artistic point of view
First and foremost, there are no gon.
dolas, and secondly, the water, though
far from clean at Venice, is abominably
foul at Amsterdam. 1t is difficult tc
admire scenery while standing over an
open sewer, and I have been inside
many an underground sewer that did
not smell as foul as the open canals OF
Amsterdam. Nevertheless from a little
distance they are very beautiful.
Many of the canals have cmbank.
ments wide enough to have on each
side of the water a row Of trees. Thus
we haYe for the center of the thorough
fare, water people with bargemen and
bearing barges and craft of all de.
scliptiOns. Then, on either side, a
handsome row of trees, the whole en-
closed by lofty, quaint Dutch houses
shapes and designs. Undoubtedly, il
is town that would delight many an
artist; and it has this great advantage
over, for instance, Paris, that there is
no ,nonotony due to uniformity. The
same may be said Of the people in the
street. In Holland, at least, national
costumes have not yet been abolished.
The Dutch women still dress with
their brass headgear and strange and
large jewelry The fishermen from
the Zuyder Zee still wear breaches OF
wonderful and appalling proportions
Though more than half yard wide,
these wonderful garments only reach
just below the knee. Then the head is
covered with such strange cap.
These dresses add much to the interest
and picturesque aspect of the streets.
Some idea of the peculiar aspect Of
Amsterdam may be gathered from the
fact that the numerous canals cut the
town into no less than ninety islands,
which are connected with each other
by about 800 bridges. The. ground on
which the houses stand is composed of
loan and loose mud but there is SO
much water around that this ground
offers no solid foundation for building.
It is necessary to drive piles down
sometimes to a depth Of twenty feet to
find a foundation sufficiently solid to
build upon. But then the wood worms
attack these piles, and they grad ually
give way. Thus many houses are ont
Of psrpsnd icular, a fact which, if it
does not contribute to the com fort and
safety of the Inhabitants. further in
creases the peculiar and interesting
aspectof the town. -Ph iladelp hia Tele-

THE SIZE OF THE SEA.
Some Aids to the Mind in COMPREHENSIVE,

Some Aids to the Mind In Comprehendins
Its Vastness.
One gallon of water weighs 10 pounds,
80 the number of gallons in the Pacific
is over 200 trillions; an amount which
would take more than million years
to pass over the falls of Niagara. Yet,
put into a sphere, the whole Of the Pa
cific would only measure 726 miles
across.
The Atlantic could be contained bod
lily in the Pacific nearly three times.
The number of cubic feet is LIT fol-
lowed by seventeen cyphers; number
that would be licked off by our million
clocks in 100000 years. It's weight is
1926, 1000 billion tons, and the number Of
gallons in it is 70 trillions. A sphere
to hold the Atlantic would have
to be $685. miles in diameter
If it were made to fill circular
pipe reaching from the earth to the sun
"a distance of ninety-three million
miles-the diameter of the pipe would
be 1897 yards, or rather over a mile;
while a pipe of similar length to con-
tain the Pacific would be over mile
and thre-quarters across. Yet the dis
tanco to the sun is SO great that, as
has been pointed out, if child was
born with an arm long enough to reach
the sun it would not live long enough
to know that it had touched it, for sem
sation passes along our nerves at the
rate of 100 feet second, and to travel
from the sun to the earth at that rate
would take century and half, and
such an abnormal infant is an unlikely
centenarian.
The rest of the sea includes the Indi
an ocean, the Arctic and Antarctic
seas, and various smaller masses of
water; it covers an area of AZ, 1000, 900
square miles and would form circle of
1900 miles in diameter. The average
depth may be put at 1900 fathoms
$4,000 feet), and the contents at 95,-
100000 cubic miles. It weighs 800, 900
billion tons, and contains s71a trillion
gallons, while it would form column
reaching to the sun of 1900 yards in
diameter.
If we now combine into one vast
whole these various figures we arrive
at some stupendous results in answer
to the question, elbow big is the sea?'
Its area of 40, 100000 square miles
could be confined by circle 1880
miles across. The relative size of the
areas of the whole surface Of the earth,
Of the whole sea, the Pacific and the
Atlantic, are represented by circles the
diameters of which are in proportions
to one another of 1853, 1873, SO, and 81 re-
spectively; or by a crown for the sur
face of the earth, half-crown for the
surface of the whole sea, shilling for
the surface of the Pacific, threepenny
piece for the surface of the Atlantic.
Supposing the sea to be formed into
a round column reaching to the sun,
the diameter of the column would be
nearly ~ miles. The Pacific would
form $4,000 miles of its total length
of 93,000,c00, and the Atlantic 1S,0j0,-
900.
If it were column of ice, and the
entire heat of the sun could be concen-
trated upon it, it would ali be melted
in one second, and converted into steam
in eight seconds; which illustrates the
heat of the sun rather than the size OF
the sea. -Longman's Magazine.
