The Atlantic Ocean.

The area of the Atlantic is about
80, 900, 900 square miles, less than hal
the area of the Pacific, and between
one-sixth and one-seventh of the total
surface area of the world. II would
form circle GlS0 miles in diameter,
which is rather more than double the
distance from Liverpool TO New York.
Its depth il much better known than
that of the Pacific, and averages more
than 1000 fathoms, probably about
$4,000 feet, or about two and two
thirds miles. The height of Mont
Blame is about three miles.
The cubic contents are therefore
nearly 10000, 900 cubic miles, so that
the Atlantic could be contained bodily
in the Pacific nearly three times The
number of cubic feet is III followed
by seventeen ciphers, n number that
would be licked off by our million
clocks in $40, 900 years. Its weight is
s25, 900 billion tons, and the number
of gallons in il is seventy three trill-
ions. A sphere to hold the Atlantic
would have to be 538l miles in diam
eter.
If il were made to fiji acircular pipe
reaching from the earth to the sun
n distance of 93, 900, 900 miles-the lii
ameter of the pipe would be 1887
yards, or rather over mile; while u
pipe of similar length to contain the
Pacific would be over mile and three
quarters across. Yet the distance to
the sun is so great that, as has been
pointed ont, if child we're born with
an arm long enough TO reach to the
sun it would not live long enough to
know that it had touched it, for sensa-
ton passes along our nerves Mt the
rate of 100 feet second, and to travel
from the sun to the earth at that rate
would take century and n half, and
such an abnormal infant is an un-
likely centenarisn. -Longman's Mag

wETTISG AND COOKING MEAL.

One of the largest feeders of swine
gives his experience and judgment as
follows: / find that if / take ten
bushels of meal and wet it in cold
water and feed twenty-five hogs with
it, they eat it well, but If take the
same quantity and cook it, it doubles
the bulk and will take the same num-
Der ot hogs twice ns long to eat it, and
| think they fattcn twice as fast in the
same length of time"
Professor Stewart, in commenting
on this, says he took two lots of three
pigs each from the same litter, weigh
go pounds each lot. Lot Ind corn
meal soaked twelve hours in cold
wafer. Lot 2 had cooked cornmcal.
and each had all they could eat, and
each had II cock of early cut clover
every day. Lot ] consumed 2,111
pounds of meal, and gained 420 pounds
or l40 each. Lot 2 gained 600 pounds,
or 200 pounds each. Or, figuring in
another way, he got IL pounds of
pork for bushel of meal soaked in
water, and 16.47 for bushel when
cooked, gain of nearly 81 pounds to
the bushel, getting half as much again
for his corn by cooking it. Professor
Stewart further says that "by good
management the general feeder NAV
reach with raw corn eight pounds, with
raw meal ten pounds, with boiled corn
twelve pounds, and with boiled meal
Sfteen pounds of live pork per bushel.

How Plants Travel.

The manner in which some plants
travel is peculiar. A certain weed
was transferred to Antarctic island in
the mould clinging to spade and
soon became common. Birds carry
seeds in the clay which sticks to their
feet, sheep and other animals in their
hair; and few thin9s are more com
mon than the dispersion OF edible
plants by birds and beasts which pass
the indigestibe seeds OF the fruits they
have eaten. The struggle for existence
between the native and the alien
horais, on small scale, as remarkable
as the same process in the case of men.
in the end the struggle tends to right
Itself, for the prolific growth Of the
alien species on favorable ground leads
10 severe internal competition, and af-
ter the earth is drained OF the substan-
ces which they especially require they
die natural death, while the native
plants, which were temporarily han
ished, recover their position. Many
instances are quoted OF vigorous and
heavy crops of foreign weeds one year
being followed by total disappearance
the next.

profusion until it looks as though ma
ture had grown remedy for oil the
real and imaginary ills of body and
flesh. Not even the old family "doc.
tor book" can relate disease for
which Costa Rica does not grow its
balm
Pyramids of minerals and woods fill
the center, showing the natural re-
sources of the country. The stones
range along the whole gamut of value
from the cumbersome Jumps of iron to
bits of precious metals. The woods
are stub-ends of logs, polished and
vanished to high degrees and in a
variety which is simply marvellous.
The forests are yet practically virgin,
the natives alone being large consul
mers and the uses being largely those
for heat and waste. Long on timber,
Costa Rica is short on "A market for it,
and thus the very best sells at almost
ridiculous prices.
Hides OF almost everything from
snakes up are shown, those of the fur
tribes being most numerous. The
country has not much use for warm
garments, and it is curious that nature
in its wisdom filled the south woods
with pelts for Arctic coats. The birds
with densest plumage always pant
where the sun is fiercest, and thus it
happens that Costa Rica has songsters
with feathers yard long, and other
birds with plumage rivaling the rain
bow in brilliancy. They are in the
National Building in great profusion,
and arranged as found in the jungles.
Some look like jokes, with spindling
legs and bodies too heavy for them,
and others are built on graceful lines
with most wonderful beauty. One
end of the gallery is long distance
landscape, and the blue sky and white
clouds are helped ont by stuffed birds
nailed to the canvas. This is realism
in art with vengeance, but since the
aim is to show the birds and not the
landscape the criticism hardly stands.
Like all the neighboring States and
Kingdoms, Costa Rics raises coffee and
challenges the world to equal its pro-
duct in quality. To prove its value

to cook samples, and when the build

long drsughts of the fragrant mixture.

Draped in the colors of the country,
the interior of the building is devoted
exclusively to business. There are no
elaborate reception-rooms nor offices

man, Costa Rica's Commissioner, re-
tained only corner for himself among
the animals and birds, and silks and
dyes that his country has sent. The
gallery makes the circle of the build

ing in the arches. Shields and bronco
groups of soldiers, and zealots rushing
with blazing torches are among the
decorations. Many photographs of
almost topless mountains, endless
jungles and handsome girls from the
far South, adorn the walls, with here
and there oils executed in peculiar
ways.

COST OF sHEARINa SHEEP.

II is not desirable to wash the sheep
before shenring them unless the wool
has been permitted To- become filthy,
and this no careful shecpmnstcr should
allow TO happen Generally the WISH
ing Injuries the wool by removing the
yolk and natural grease that give the
usual softncss and lustre 10 the fleece,
and this il damage to it, because il
gives II harsh, rough feeling to the
wool, and actually Injuries its selling
value, while nothing ut all il gained in
any way. If the heccrs have been per-
mitted to become foul, the sheep should
he washed in warm wntcr two or three
weeks before shenring, and some
sweet oil rubbed ON the wool before il
IL quite dry. In the interval between
the washing and the shcnring, the wool
will regain its Boftncss and NATURAL
feeling and strength and elasticity.
But rs n rule the practice of washing
sheep in brooks or ponds, with its semi
barbnrous rccklcssness ns to the health
of the men employed, is becoming
rightly obsolete among sensible shep-
herds. The price pnid for shenring
varies from three cents hend to seven
or eight. II is not difficult to shear n
sheep in ten minutes. Thus n good
shcarer may make nearly S2 day at
his work at three cents per fleece, and
he well deserves it. A bungler is dear
ut any price, ns he will cut the sheep
and make future trouble. -- New York

CONCERNING CREAM AND BUTTER.

1t has generally been believed,
writes Mrs. S. E. Wilcox of Ohio.
that milk, to yield cream most per-
fectly in cold weather, must be kept
in a warm atmosphere. Some exper-
iments that l have made during the
last winter would appear to disprove
this. These few suggestions, regard
ing cream and butter, are not given
for those who have large dairies, with
separators, creameries, and other
modern appliances, but for the aver
age farmer who has only . few cows,
and for the farmers wife who, with
common and not altogether modern
appliances, aims to make the most of
the milk and butter. City people re-
ly largely upon fancy dairy or cream.

ulation in small villages who depend
upon the local farmers for their sup
