Origin of Oxygen.

Lord Kelvin showed In recent address
that all the oxygen In the atmosphere prob.
ably came from the action of sunlight on
plants. When the earth was n globe of hot
liquid 1t contained no vegetable fuel, and
probably no free oxygen. liut as II cooled
or plants appeared on Its surface and these
began TO evolve oxygen through the medium
OF the sunbeamS. Upon the oxygen thus de.
rived we depend for the maintenance of life
by breathing. When we burn coal, or other
vegetable fuel. we use up oxygen, and II is
10 plants again that we owe the restoration
OF the oxygen thus lost 10 the air. If they
failed to keep up sufficient supply the at
mosphere would gradually part with its OK.
ygen, and the inhabitants of the earth would
gradually disappear in consequence of as
