STATISTICS ABOUT THE SEA
Curious Figures About Its Weight
DeDth and Volume.

1 Intend to take my revenge on the
sea for the past indignities suffered
from him and to deal deliberately in
personalities about him. Inviting to
my side his many victims who have
suffered the like indignities, propose
that we weigh, measure and gauge
him. battle him, play games with him
and show him up generally-for, like
most bullles, he is bit Of humbug.
For our attack on the sea we shall
want q few facts to start from, and
here they are:
We take the statements Of four good
men Of science, q geographer, an as
tronomer, physicist, statistician,
add the statements, divide by four, and
arrive at the result that the surface Of
the sea is 1884, millions of square miles,
his weight 1882, ,OO0,000,0 1000, 100000
tons and his volume 922,c00,oOO cubic
niles. A like process will tell US that
the average depth Of the sea Is 10000
feet (more than two and one-quarter
niles, and we know that one cubic foot
of him weighs over sixty-fouf pounds
avoirdupois, |. e.. about four and one
half stone, or as much as a small child
8 or 10 years of age. From these fig
ures Mr.. Schooling deduces that the
sea is simply nowhere when we CON-
pare 1t with the land of this planet as
regards the solid quantities of weight,
depth and volume:
'Only in the superficial quality of sur
face does the sea beat the land. AS to
beauty, there is infinitely more of It
and In much greater variety, on the
land than on the sea. To further en-
phasize the magnif1cence of the sea we
Will now pour 1t into a Jelly mold-one
OF those thin, ornamental, tin shapes
you see in the kitchen dresser. For
this experiment have dug out all the
inside Of the United Kingdom OF Great
Britain and Ireland, from its surface
all the way down to the center of the
earth 1890 miles,, and have thus made
the largest jelly mold known-or rather
two of them, for Ireland forms a shape
by itself, although, at bottom, II Is firm

land. Now, this jelly mold would be
large enough to hold Just one half Of all

these tin shapes would dispose Of the

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ar.
There is only n way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inilamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to It's nor.
