The Oriain of Oxygen.

That eminent scientist Lord Kelvin
maintained that all the oxygen in the
atmosphere probably originated from
the action of sunlight upon plants.
When our earth was a globe Of hot
LIQUID 1t contained no vegetable fuel
and probably no free oxygen. But as
II cooled off plants appeared on It's
surface. aud these began TO evolve
oxygen through the medium of the
sunbeams. Upon the oxygen thus de-
rived we depend for the maintenance
of life by breathing. When we burn
coal or other vegetable fuel we use up
oxygen, and it IS to plants again that
we owe the restoration Of the oxygen
thus lost to the air If they failed to
keep up a sufficient supply the atmos-
phere would gradually part with Its
oxygen, and the inhabitants OF the
earth would disappear in consequence
Of asphyXiation.
