Tho Salty Atlantic.

Some odd disparities have been
found to exist in the sadness of the
sea water in different oceans and lati-
tudes. For a number Of these A. Woel-
kow in his book. ''Ueber den Salzgehalt
des Meeres." presents Ingenious ex-
plantations. The Atlantic ocean Is
known to be about one-sixtieth more
salty than the Pacific and two-sixtieths
more so than the Indian ocean. This
is in spite Of the fact that it receives
considerably more fresh water drain
age in proportion to its extent. an APP
parent anomaly. But, points ont the
scientist, the Atlantic itself supplies.
by evaporation, most of the rain that
ultimately drains back into It The
prevailing west winds, on the other
hand, carry much of its moisture to
Indian or even Pacific ocean water
sheds. AS no fresh water comes down
to replace this lost evaporation the
residue of the Atlantic becomes saltier.
Inflow around the Horn and Cape Of
Good Hope alone prevents this process
from going further than 1t does.

One Of the peculiarities Of the an
eient writer's on natural history sub
3ects was the implicit faith which they
placed In the genllineneSs IF the vari-
GUS basilisk and dragon stories which
were told to them. Brunette, for an
instance to the point, relates with all
soberness that 1.-The basllisk Is the king
Of serpents. He wears white crest
upon his head, aud such is the abun
dance Of his venom that the air is
poisoned wherever this dire reptile
passes. Trees in which be makes his
home exhale such a poisonous odor
that birds in flying over are so over
come with it that they fall to the
ground dead.

in which he makes his home he fur

fiict deadly wounds with his teeth
