The Size Of the Sea.

The Pacific covers 68,000,000,
the Atlantic 100000 and the In
dian ocean, Arctic and Antarctic
4g,CO0,000 square miles.
To stow away the contents of the
Pacific it would be necessary to fill
tank one mile long, one mile wide
and one mile deep every day for 44O
years. Put in figures, the Pacific
holds in weight $4,000, 100000
000,000,000 tons. 1t would take
about 100000 years for all its wa
ter to pass over the falls of Niagara.
The average depth of the Allan
tic is not quite three miles. Its wa
tiers weigh 325, OO0,OOO,OOO 100000
tons, and tank to contain it would
have each of its six sides 400 miles
long. The figures of the other
oceans are in the same startling pro-
portions. 1t would take all the
sea water in the world about 2,OOO,-
900 years to flow over Niagara. A
tank to hold it all would have to
measure nearly 1000 miles along
each of its sides.

"The tone and the way in which
the honorable member expresses
himself are out of ORDER" answered
the speaker.

but the speaker pulled him up
sharply with the reproof: "The hon.

How the Great Rubini Came to cul.

means and resources, who employed
all his talents and ability toward

evening suit.
After conversing for some little
time upon the all absorbing subject
Of fit and finish the singer noticed
that the face of the tailor was ia
miliar and, making Inquiries, dis
covered that he belonged to the
opera chorus.
''Have you a good yoicef" asked
Nozari.
'Not particularly" replied the
tailor. 81 can scarcely reach A."
"Let me hear" demanded Nozari,
stepping to a piano that stood in
one corner of the shop. "Beginp
The tailor with difficulty reach

"Sing the A! 1 command youp
cried Nozari, showing signs of an

Again a great effort was made,
and A was reached.
"And now the B fatp cried No

The unfortunate tailor protested,
but all in vain. Nozari was deter

"Sing it or by my soul 1 wilp-
"No, signor, do not be angry. I
will try"
The B fiat was accomplished and
in a manner that fairly astonished
the quondam pupil himself. His
ambition began to manifest itself.
"Now you see that it is possible"
'aid Nozari in triumph, "and I tell
you, my son, if you will but prac-
ice assiduously you will become the
irst tenor of Italy"
Nozari was not mistaken, for the
