Number of Gallons In the Ocean.
The mathematicians figure on every
thing nowadays, from the number of
leaves in given extent of forest to the
probable number of molecules of mat
ter that it takes to make up the uni
verse. One of the most curious calcu-
lations which we have met with re-
Gently is one in which German profess
sor gives figures to show the number
OF gallons of water in the Pacific ocean.
He first considers the average depth
and then the average length and
breadth, and then throws the whole
into q square and the square into a
globe. He finds that this aqueous
globe would lie exactly 726 miles in di-
alneter. Next he considers ocean water
MS weighing 10 pounds to the gallon,
ard finds that this immense sphere,
were it q hollow metal globe, would
hold 20O.0oo,O0o.C 100000 OF gallons!
Those figures represent the number of
gallons of water now in the largest
division of the earth's seas. 1t would
take that amount of water more than
100000 yeaIs to pour over the preci-
pice at Niagara,-St. Louis Republic.

"The awards granted at the Worlds Columbian Exposition, compared to the number of exhibitors, present the smallest number ever granted on the occasion of a Worlds Fair. This re- suit distinctly shows that unusual care and precaution were taken by the ex- pert judges, who, because of the rule requiring them to declare over their own signatures the reasons for their judgment, fully realized the great re- sponsibility thrown upon them. The exhibitor, therefore, may be assured that his award will have a value such as the award granted at previous Ex- positions never gave" This state ment, from the official circular of the Worlds Colum bian Commission as ap- piled to Ayers Sarsaparilla, the only medicine of the kind admitted at the Worlds Fair, and which also received the highest possible awards, must con vince the most sceptical mind that this wel1-known .blood-purifier stands far in advance of all other similar preparations in existence.

The reso- lution condemned, in no uncertain sounds, the present president of the United States, who, by the way, was elected by the Democrats, on account of his financial policy and favored the free coinage of silver This acted as sort of bomb to the convention, and it brought half a dozen or more delegates to their feet, the tenor of the remarks made being that while they favored silver coinage, they were not in favor of that portion criticising President Cleveland. MT. Andrews insisted that the majority opposed Cleveland's financial policy or could not favor silver, and insisted that to be consistent, one was just as essen tial as the other.
 Several motions were made to evade the question and finally a motion to indefinitely postpone the resolution was made and carried with but three or four dissenting votes, and free sil- yer, for the time at least. was given a black eye in professedly free silver convention.
