OCEANS FLOOR.
II Is Being Covered by Deposit of
Sediment


Sediment
Scientists estimate that the floor OF
the ocean is being gradually covered
by a deposit Of sediment, but SO slowly
is it forming that it amounts to but a
single inch in a thousand years. Scien-
lists are rather fond Of estimating all
manner OF things which other folks
usually overlook. When they turned
their attention to the bottom of the
ocean they went into the subject most
thoroughly. For one item they took
the ships which have been wrecked
since ships were first built. They
found that there were over thirty thou
sand Of them in one much-traveled
part Of the ocean-so many, that were
they all ahoat, boy or girl might
stand upon the deck OF any one vessel
and count the masts Of a dozen 9TH
ers. Then they speculated upon the
lasting qualities Of all these wrecks,
and decided that tens of thousands Of
years hence, when the present floor OF

Of all this wreckage unless he turns up
an occasional object Of gold. silver or

will have disappeared altogether
Should the great battleship Oregon
sink to the ocean bed a plowman Of

jewelry and the hIllsreye lights that

only one permanent trace OF himself
upon the ocean floor, and that, strange
to say, is the deposit Of ashes and half
burned coal thrown from steamers.
Great quantities of this refuse are cast
over the sides of ships every year and
the scientists believe that heaps of it
are forming in quiet spots and that

ages will be able to do little estimat-

that Of untitled women she has pre-

England in the seventeenth century
was an agricultural country, and.
broadly speaking, that condition con
tinued throughout the greater part Of
the eighteenth century. As between
the centuries. however, there was one
great difference, that while in the sew
enteenth century agriculture progress
ed very slowly in the eighteenth CEN
tury it made immense strides.
Throughout the greater part of the
eighteenth century agriculture was
fashionable. Noblemen We'd with each
another in making agricultural ex-
periments and in improving their es-
tates. They thought more about in
Producing new root crops or new grass
es or improving the breed of sheep
and cattle than they did about the
amusements of London season, says
the London Graphic. At the same
time large areas Of land that had
been previously cultivated on the
semicommunistie and wasteful "open
field" system were enclosed and divid-
ed into separate farms. The other i'm
portant developments of the eight
eenth century may most fairly be re-
garded as preparation for the cen
tury to come.
Toward the latter end of the century
several of the wonderful machines
which were to revolutionize the tex
tile industries of the world were in
vented in rapid succession, but it was
only gradually that they were
brought into use Toward the end of
the same century began the great i'm
provement Of highways and the con
struction of canals. But in the case of
each of these brilliant Developments
the greater part Of the profit accrued
to the century that succeeded.
At the beginning of the nineteenth
century England was still an agricul-
tural countTy-still a frequent seller
and a rare buyer of wheat and she
was only just beginning to utilize the
marvellous inventions Of Arkwright
and Watt, the engineering triumphs of
Telford and the immense stores Of
mineral wealth buried beneath her
soil. If we turn back to contemporary
estimates of the wealth Of the country
at the beginning OF the nineteenth cen
tury. We find that tie first point con-
sidered in the rent Of agricultural
land. Today it would be one Of the
last.
