Tho Poiso nous Black sea.

! J0 6V1OVUOU0 0l0CN 000s
The Black sea, which In some parts
has a depth Of more than $500 feet, ID
poisoned by sulphureted hydrogen
wherever the water Is deeper than
loo feet. This accounts for the curl
GUS fact that there Is no organic life
below that depth, excepting perhaps
some bacteria OF very low order, i'm
pregnated with sulphur. The causes
for this phenomenon are explained
By the quick outflow Of the fresh wa
ter through the Bosporus, while salt
water coming from the Mediterranean
enters through a deeper current into
the depths Of the Black sea. The wa
tiers on the surface are, therefore, con-
trolled absolutely by horizontal cur
rents OF consid erable force, and verti-
cal currents which might carry the
noxious gases from the bottom to the
surface and fresh oxygen from the
surface to the bottom are hardly ever
noticeable. The water at great depths
Is so saturated with sulphuric gas by
the disintegration Of organic matter
sinking to the bottom by reason OF Its
weight that no fish or other living be-
Ing which needs oxygen FOR Ito organic
system can exist beyond q stated
depth

of creatures live there you tell him without seeing
the pigs and cows The house itself tells you what
sort of animals live in it.

dirty body is apt to have dirty soul who has
been careless with his body and harmed is likely have
sick soul. God wants most of us to have healthy
strong, fne-looking bodies. But this will mean

pure eat the right kind of food and keep ourselves and
Clothes furniture, dwelling houses and farms clean
We must not hurt bodies with posons whisky tobac-

disease.
When our bodies not healthy it is hard to be
kind and hopeful. We think is unfriendly and
God has forgotten Sometimes will get sick spite

cheerful. But we have no right to keep our souls
in uncomfortable, evil houses, when they might be

in it will find it much easier to be good and brave
