Tho Salt In the Sea.

The saline elements of ocean wa
ter may be in part derived from
geological formations which con-
sisted largely of like matter, but it
is generally considered that the salt
ness of the sea is sufficiently ac-
counted for by the deposition of
soluble salts from the rivers. Salts
of various kinds form part of
the constituent ingredients of the
earth's soil everywhere. They are
washed out by springs and rivulets
and carried to the sea by large
streams, and as the evaporation
which feeds the streams carries none
Of the dissolved matters back again
the tendency is for the salts TO ac-
cumulate in the sea. The principal
saline ingredients found in ocean
water are chloride of sodium, or
common salt, and salts Of magnesia

Summer In Greenland.

Among the interesting observa-
tons made by the Danish northeast
Greenland expedition is one on the
sudden oncoming of summer in that
land of ice and iords. The change
is described as sudden. Gradually
the temperature of the snow had
risen to the freezing point, and then
in one day it all melted. EHThe riv-
ers were rushing along, flowers were
budding forth, and in the air the
butterflies were fluttering." The
birds came nearly all on the same
day, and most of them even at the
same hour. One day there were
only the ordinary ptarmigan and
the raven; the next there were the
sanderling, the ring plover, the
goose, The elder duck and many
others.

Faint Praise.

A little girl taking her first ocean
trip was awakened from a sound
sleep one morning when the steamer
was close to a strip of coast where
the mountains tower sheer from the
waters edge to a height of thou
sands Of feet, presenting a majestic
aspect not to be equaled in many
other places. The little girls IA
ther, carrying her to the deck,
pointed to the great line of noun
tains and asked her:
well, what do you think of
that?" expecting, as was natural,
that she would be quite overwhelm-
ed at the sight.
Instead she just rubbed her sleepy
eyes.
'eThey look" she muttered dubi-
ously, "ike hills"
Whereupon she went to sleep
again.-New York Times.

LITERARY HERolsM.
Great Works Accomplishing Under ths
Most Adverse Circumstances.

Grsat Works Accomplished Under ths
Most Adverse Circumstances.
Some of the worlds most valued
literary productions have been &C
complished by their authors under
Circumstances of pain and hardship
almost incredible.
OF the blind writers one immedi-
ately thinks of Milton and of our
own Prescott, who, though not en-
tirely blind, was almost 50 and per-
formed prodigies in the way of his
torical composition while handi-
capped In way calculated to dis
hearten the brayest.
Another great historian, John
Richard Green, did his work in the
midst of a hard battle against dis
ease and pain. In 1869, when he
was finally Frustrated by the disease
that had taken hold many years be-
fore, the doctors gave him no hope
of living more than six months long
er. Nevertheless Green set about
the task Of writing his Short His
tory Of the English People," a task
that he triumphantly carried to a
conclusion notwithstanding racking
pains.
We are assured on excellent au-
thority that Elizabeth Barrett
Browning wrote the greater number
Of her fine poems confined to n
darkened room, to which, by reason
of her infrmities, only her own
family and most intimate friends
could be admitted, while she was in
great weakness and almost continu-
Gus pain.
Another brave struggle was that
Of the poet Heine. The last seven
years of the German thinkers life
were spent on what has been term
ed his mattress grave" in such
pain and suffering that he was oblig-
ed to consume doses of opium in
quantity sufficient to have killed
several men. Yet Heine not only
endured all this with resignation
and even cheerfulness, but managed
to produce some of his most finished
work, among which were Last Po-
ems and Thoughts" and his "Con-
LESSONS"
To the list of literary heroes
must be added the name of Scott.
Sir Walters manly fight against
falling health and financial misfor-
tune during the closing years of his
life is too well known to need more
than passing mention. When the
commercial rsverses came that left
him staggering under a huge bur-
den of debt, he, shattered in health,
laboriously set to work "with wea-
ried eyes and worn brain" to recoup.
Painfully he toiled, sometimes as
many as fourteen hours day, until
the end came, but nevertheless he
succeeded in meeting every cent due
by reason of the monumental in
debtedness forced upon him.
Grants memoirs were comnosed
under peculiarly pathetic condi-
tons. Confronted by the dismal
prospect of dying from malignant
