The portion OF the earth's surface
that is covered by water, when the
lakes and inland seas are included,
Is three times as great as the dry
land area. The surface area OF the
oceans is 127O00.00O square miles-an
area more than 40 times as large as
the United States. The ocean waters
teem with life. Though thousands Of
water creatures are known and clas-
sified, scientists are continually dis
covering new life forms in the ocean
depths. Heretofore dragnets have
been mainly depended upon. but there
are doubtless many sea animals that
elude these travis.

NOT LIKELY TO SPOIL SCENE
Actor Willing to Guarantee He Would
Make Decent Corpse as the
Dead Julius Caesar.

Speculation is rife along the New
York Rialto as to whether or not in
William FaTersham's production Of
Julius Caesar" Fuller MellIsh. who
has been cast for the part OF Caesar,
will actually appear in the GRAFTON
scene. This is because Of a Quippant
retort Of Sir Herbert Tree, which has
just found its way across the Allan

resented in the Grafton scene by a
dummy, Tree, in his recent revival OF
the Roman drama, insisted that the
actor cast for Caesar should actually
appear upon the bier.
The Caesar Of the play demurred
averring that he was subject to colds
and that the drafts upon the stage
might cause him to sneeze, thus spoil
ing the effect Of the scene, to which
Tree quickly and dryly retorted, "NeY.
er mind; in that case you'd be playing
Julius Cnaesar.
To Mr.. Fayersham's solicitous in
quirles Mr. Mellish has hastened to
reply that he rarely sneezes, so the
stage director can feel assured of a
free rein.

themselves down, succeeded in squeez-
Ing breathlessly and miserably in.
There they sat then, each scowling
and staring at the rudeness OF her re-
spective neighbor, each wriggling and
squirming as much as possible in or
der to crowd that neighbor still
further Finally the situation became
acute, and one OF the women spoke
with fine sarcasm: Il beg your par
don, but do you need the whole
seat?'
Il beg yours the answer came,
but ! never talk to strangers"
Just then a third pretty woman
passed, stopped and addressed the
two at once: why, to think Of find

passengers involved, regarding their
destinations and saw that they We're
