Heiqht of Land, Depth Of Sea,

The mean height Of all the land now
above the sea is referred to by Lyell
as being 900 feet. The mean depth
of the ocean is at least 10000 feet,
that is. it exceeds the height Of the
land twelve times.
This is because the extreme heights
of the land. although probably nc less
than the extreme depths of the sea,
vet are exceptional heights. while the
ocean maintains its depth yer enOr-
% areas.
Owing to the fact that the surface
of the ocean that of the land is as
two and a half TO n the ocean would
accommodate the whole of land thirty
times over We're it all pitched into the
Ocean areas.

Bound to Have Greater Speed.

Leading railroads Of the country. If
the last ten years, have spent O
than $500. 0O0. 600 in their determined
fight against time. 1t is figured that
the gain. in all, amounts to something
like Is or IA hours on schedules.
Almost as startling is the assault
made upon Father Time by great
steamship lines. No sOOne Toes A
Deutschland eclipse the ocean record
than rival owners set out to build a
Lusitania and a Mauretania; whe1
they have captured the blue ribbon If
the seas eager competitors plan even
a mightier vessel with which to wre5t
from them the prize. Millions are
lightly regarded in the scales as
against a few minutes clipped from
the record,

Never get the idea that little things
are triling: they make just the diff
ference between d woman who is
beautiful because Well-groomed look
ing and a beauty whose looks are
ruined by CarelcSSneSS.
Since it is no longer the thing to
have dry, dead-lOOking hair. women
are doing everything to regain that
glossy look of we'll keptness that has
been lost so long from constant I.is-
use. One young woman who has tray
eled in the orient has adopted the
Chinese method of polishing the hair
with cloths. A little oil is sprayed on
a clean wooden cloth and the hair and
braids are rubbed with it until they
shine. As there is a marked distinc-
ton between glossiness and %oiliness,
care must be taken that very little oil
is used. Too much proves a dust col,
lector. which makes the hair unsightly
in a day or two. This Guessing process,
If thoroughly done. should last a week,
or at least for three or four days.
