clared that If 1t be worn on the left

SOME VARIETIES OF RAIN.

Rain is principally composed Of wa
ter, but 1t shoald not be confused with
mining stock.
Rain always comes on Sunday after
Moons and washdays.
Washday may be changed to any day
in the week. systematically or indis-
criminately but the rain will come.
Sunday afternoon, however, cannot
be changed to any other afternoon.
The rain win hold on until you are
ready to go driving. and then the word
will be passed along the mysterious
currents Of the air and double order
of cirrus and cumulus will be hurried
in from the west
Also. in the moving when you leave
home and carry your umbrella and
raincoat, the rain will go away and
sulk. But II you take heart Of the fair
sky and leave the umbrella and other
trimmings then the rain will wait
until you leave the Office and then get
you. Incidentally It win tuck a few
grip and rheumatism germs in to your
system.
Rain Ii good for the crops, but why
Il takes you for crop is hard to I'M
derstand
Rain never brought fame 10 anyone
except Noah. Probably on the day the
food began he watched the last picnic
party drive out Of town in a bus,
shouting sarcastic things at him
through the dust.
There are several varieties Of rain,
but the one most popular with the
weather bureau Ii called Probably

SALT WATER.


Deep Seas Are More Saline Than Those
That Are Shallow.
The density OF sea water depends
'nL~u the quantity Of saline matter It
contas rs. The proportion is generally
about 3 or per cent, though It varies
in different places. The ocean con-
tains more salt in the southern than
IN the northern hemisphere. and the
Atlantic contains more than the Pa
cifc. The greatest proportion OF salt
in the Pacific IL In the parallels Of y
degrees north Latitude and II degrees
south latitude. Near the equator it is
less, and in the polar seas it is least,
from the melting OF the ice.
The sadness varies with the seasons
i'd these regions, and the fresh water,
being lighter. is uppermost Rain
makes the surfaca Of the sea fresher
than the interior parts, and the influx
OF rivers renders the ocean less salt

Deep seas are more saline than those

10 this, however, the Mediterranean
is an exception. owing to great evap-

had no previous experience in build

had been let to S. p Hughes and the
matter was entirely out Of my hands
and beyond my control / was informed
that Mr.. Hughes was unfair to organ
ized labor and that the building was
being constructed by non-union work
men. As there had been no stipula-
tion in the contract as to the kind Of
labor that should be used ] was power
