the mouths of the rivers Tin oxide,
for example. is mined at few places,
spread out pretty uniformly over the
earth, and in the refuse of towns the
waste tin is oxidized, carried away by
water, and on the sea bottom the fine
PARTICLES are so scattered as to be be

known. The effect may be modified to
some extent by the concentration of

parallel walls, one about three and the
other about four miles long, lying over
half mile apart and built in the shoal
water at the juncture Of the southwest
pass with the gulf of Mexico. The
swift current which they have pro-
duced, aided by dredging, has caused
such q tremendous scour as to already
make from fifty, to eighty-five feet Of

ginning Of the work the depth was but
little over mans head. The jettfes

Important Biblical codsx.
. Professor Henry A. Saunders OF the
University of Michigan believes the
manuscript recently. found by Charles
e. Freer is a new codex Of the Bible
and the most complete in existence.
There are but three others, the Yati-
can, the Alexandrian and the Sinaitic.
No two of these agree exactly, and
none is an original document. There
are many differences of structure be-
tween the three others and the Freer
manuscript. Professor Saunders esti-
mates the date Of the new document at
about $40 A. D. He says its differences
from other Goddess are textual rather
than material.

referred to the story Of Daniel In the
