Friends from Blackinton, Mass,
visited Mr.. and Mrs. A, w. Hawks on
Wednesday and enjoyed a drive
about the village.
Miss Lima Tozer, formerly of this
place is expected home this week
from Panama where she has been
teaching the past year.
A large number from this place and
Hoosick Falls enjoyed the annual
picnic of the Woman's Temperance
Union held at Battlefield Park on
Wednesday afternoon. The cloudy
and showery morning deferred some
from going, but the afternoon proved
ideal and the long tables ander the
overhanging elms seated a party of
20. Rev. o. r. Miller of Albany gave
an able address on recent reforms in
New York state especially on laws
for Sabbath observance, also spoke
of the great need of legislative work
along temperance lines and urged to
greater effort. In the company were
seven pastors and several spoke
briefly. Thanks are due the Hoosick
Union for the interesting program.
The members of our organization feel
that still greater effort must be made
this coming year In all the branches
of work. Temperance in our Sunday
schools-temperance in our day
schools, our LOYAL Legions must be
sustained and the work of the young

SALT WATER.

Deep Seas Are More Saline Than Those
That Are Shallow.
The density of sea water depends
upon the quantity Of saline matter ii
contains. The proportion is generally
about or per cent. though 1t 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
ci6c. The greatest proportion of salt
in the Pacific is In the parallels of -
degrees north latitude and II degrees
south latitude Near the equator 1t Is
less, aud IN the polar seas 1t is least,
from the melting Of the ice.
The saltness varies with the seasons
In these regions. aud the fresh water,
being lighter. is uppermost Rain
makes the surface OF the sea fresher
than the interior parts. and the influx
OF rivers renders the ocean less salt
at their estuaries.
Deep seas are more saline than those
that are shallow. aud inland seas com
munlcating with the main are less salt
from the rivers that dow into them
To this. however the Mediterranean
IS an exception. owing to great evap
