The Ocean Bed.

NJ J. Thoulet has investigated the con-
stitution of the ocean bed, and finds that
the more deeply it is penetrated the less
proportion of slime and the less calcare-
Gus matter. On the other hand, the pro-
portion of sand grains and pure clays in
creases with the depth. No regularity
obtains in the distribution of the no.,-cai-
careous mineral grains. This normal dis
tribution appears to be more pronounced
the deeper the ocean bed itself lies below
the water surface, but, in any case, the
variations due to ocean depth are small
Even i'll the deepest water the constitu-
ton of the bed shows traces of the con-
ditons prevailing near the surface of the
ocean above the bed. The latter remark
is of importance, as the author points
out, when we consider that complete
analysis-chemical, mechanical and min
eralogical-applied to ancient geological
strata is competent to shed a flood of
light upon the ancient conditions that
prevailed at the surfaces of oceans that
have long since disappeared, leaving no
trace other than their effect on the an
Gent ocean beds.-New York Sun.

Miss Betty halted and faced Guy once
more.

Guy, 'but I can manage to struggle

They left then and Miss Betty did

for naturally he could not know how

the release of Col. Keever. The lat
