FACTS ABOUT THE SEA.

The nature of the ocean bottom
varies from sand to the so-called ooze
and mud.
For all practical purposes, says Prof.
o. II. Tittman, of the coast and geodetic
survey, ship weighs exactly as much
as the quantity of water 1t displaces.
If, however, one is very particular, it
should be taken into account that that
portion of ship which is in the air
is buoyed up by the air, and therefore
the ship weighs little more than the
amount of water displaced by it,
