Daily Motion of the Earth.

Astronomers are not agreed as to
the cause of the earths daily motion
and how the force of that motion la
kept up. Some OF them claim that the
original initial centrifugal force" was
directed in line slightly to one side
of the center of the globe. which
would. of course. cause the earth to
rotate upon its axis. and by the law
of inertia of matter must continue to
revolve at uniform rate of speed.
This claw of the inertia of matter is
to the effect that matter once set in
motion must continue to move until
arrested by some outside force 9th
ers claim that the motion is "com.
pound resultant Of the motion of the
earth in it's orbit and the attraction OF
the sun"

Parallel Stories.

When Napoleon was student at Bri.

Of the examiners the following ques-
ton: "Supposing you were in an invest
ed town. threatened with starvation,
how would you supply yourself with
provisions? From the enemy" re-
piled the sublieutenant OF artillery
And this answer so pleased the exam
iners that they passed him without fur.
Their questioning. Now, Napoleon's an
swer was by no means original, for
one Of Suvaroff's sergeants obtained
promotion from the ranks by giving
the very same answer when asked the
very same question. Whether 1t was
that Napoleon had read his story some
where and luckily remembered the ser
geant's answer at the right moment or
whether, as one writer says anent the
speech of the beef eater, ''All that can
be said is that two people happened to

Roughly speaking. 1t consists OF 9612
per cent of fresh water plus 315 per
cent of mineral salts. Three-fourths
of these salts are chloride of sodium.
or common table salt. and the next
largest constituent is chloride of mag
nesium. After these come sulphate
of magnesium. sulphate Of lime. sui
phate of potash. bromide of magne-
SUM and carbonate of lime In addi-
ton to these substances sea water
contains minute quantities Of quite a
variety of elements. including iodine.
phosphorus and arsenic. 1t also COD.
tains some silver. copper. zinc. nickel.
cobalt, iron and gold. There ia said
to be cents worth of gold in every
pailful of sea water. but as yet no.
body has found a way to extract 1t.
Copper and zinc are found in some
seaweeds. and certain species of coral
