The Pacific ocean covers 68,000,000
miles, the Atlantic 3O,000,000 and the
Indian, Arctic and Antarctic 100000.
To stow away the contents of the Pa
cifc it would be necessary to fill a
tank one mile long, one mile wide and
one mile deep every day for 440 years.
Put in figures. the Pacific holds in
weight 100000, 100000 100000 tons.
The Atlantic averages a depth Of
not quite three miles. It's water weighs
100000, OOO, 900, 100000 tons, and a
tank to contain it would have each of
its sides 430 miles long. The figures
of the other oceans are in the same
startling proportions. 1t would take
all the sea water in the world 100000
years to flow over Niagara.

quently occurs when there is clear,
STILL dry atmosphere, and when the
radiation is uninterrupted by clouds
or moisture, and the cold air settles in
poorly air-drained areas.
While frosts may not be severe,
they are often just severe enough to
damage the blossoms and tender fruits
and they not only reduce a crop Of
! fruit one-third to one-half of what it
should be, but sometimes destroy the
entire crop for one year or for several
successive years.
In orchard heating the fuel to be
depended upon must be easy to light,
a fuel that will burn a long time and
that will give out great amount of
heat; it must also be easily controlled
/ in regard to temperature. Oil, in
some forms, doubtless best meets
these requirements, but where oil is
scarce and coal abundant the latter
would be the cheaper fuel.
The oil heater, so far as we know,
was first manufactured by q firm in
Fresno, Cal. Since then several styles
Of oil heaters have been manufactured
and put on the market. One of these
we'll known and extensively used Or
chard oil heaters, constructed on sci
entifc principles, has a centerdraft
tube that feeds oil to the flames, pro-
notes combustion, and makes good
use Of the oil. The heater holds about
five quarts of oil, will burn six or sew
en- hours, is made of 2S-gauge iron,
and weighs. with cover, IA pounds.
1t stands II inches high.
The cover is made to fit like a lard
pail lid, and Is raised in the center
so as to shed water. This heater has
successfully stood the test of several

hose about it. But in the course Of
time the tree went the way of all
trees and in 1890 the commonwealth
Of Massachusetts caused to be erected
on the spot a slab-like shaft of slate
stone 73 feet high, about seven inches
thick and about Is inches across it's
face On this was engraved two
lengthy inscriptions.
The passing Of nearly a century and
a quarter and the ruthless hands of
vandals have worked a sad change in
the condition of the monument. One
might expect to fall in with such a
neglected monument in almost any
other state more quickly than in Mas
sachusetts. But though Plymouth rock
is housed in a granite canopy, nobody
seemed to know or care until recently
what was the fate Of this other Plyn-
outh landmark, at the west border Of
the old colony.
One glance at the monument is
enough to show the work of the van
dial has done more to deface it than
the tooth of time. Names are scratched
all over both faces, those Of freshmen
in minor college most unblushingly
prominent The edges of the shaft
have been Clipped away by souvenir
hunters.
About three years ago the condition
of the stone led number of antigua
rians, including Major Horton of At
tleboro and a few progressive resi-
dents of North Attleboro, led by w. II
Bell. chairman of the board Of select
men, to make a concerted effort to
have the state restore the historic
stone.
To this end a bill was presented to
the legislature by Representative S. M
Holman of Attleboro, who was chair
man of the committee on harbors and
public lands. The bill was duly passed
and became chapter Al of the acts OF
1908. It directed the board of harbor
and land commissioners to take such
measures as might be necessary for
the preservation Of the monument and
appropriated $500 for the purpose. II
was found that to effect the improve
ment desired land must be bought
both for the proposed reservation, and
for the right of way to the monument
from the street. The present bill pro
vides for the purchase Of half an acre
of land and appropriates $500 for the
entire project.
At present it is not possible to pick
out complete sentence In the inscrip
lions. The top of the stone is cut in
the form of a disc, on the south face
of which appears the words plymouth
Colony" Fortunately the full text OF
the inscriptions is preserved and may
be found in the atlas of the town OF
Wrentham, issued by the state. The
inscriptions are complete historically
but are curiosities in the art Of in
scription writing.
