How the Earth Dried.

When water is decomposed by ra-
dium or by ultraviolet rays it pro-
duces hydrogen and peroxide of hy-
drogen, and it does not form oxygen.
Electrolytic decomposition forms oxy-
gen.
A German investigator bases new
theory relating to the drying of the
earth on the fact that one form of de-
composition produces oxygen, while
the other form does not. Part of the
water vapor emitted by the seas is
decomposed by the ultraviolet rays
Of the sun; the hydrogen formed rises
toward the high atmosphere strata
and all the water does not return to
the surface. Therefore, the quantity
of water on the surface Of the globe
Is always diminishing and the earth
is incessantly, If gradually, drying.
To cite one example: On the north
side Of the sAlps there is a continual
falling off in the depth of the lakes
and a gradual formation Of swamps.
Two hundred and fifty years ago there
were 149 lakes in the canton of Zu-
rich, today there are seventy-six. The
destruction of the forests and the cul-
tiyaton Of the land partially explain
this but the loss of hydrogen Is an
important factor. The hydrogen ac-
cumulated in the higher atmosphere
Is dlffused into stellar space.-Phila-

The Rain.

About three-quarters Of the rain
which refreshes the continents of the
earth is due to the condensation Of
the vapors rising from the soil and
not to those coming from the oceans.
Elaborate estimates, based on all
available data as presented In Ger
many, show that the annual rainfall
for the entire globe is equivalent to a
layer of water enveloping the earth
to depth of about three feet. The
quantity of rain water and melted
snow falling In year is put at 1000
cubic miles. More than two-thirds OF
this fall upon the sea. South America
is. IT is said, the only one of the con-
tinents on which the annual rainfall
on land exceeds that on the surfaces
Of the sea.
