At that depth waves are not felt.
The force OF waves Is In proportion
TO their height. II is said that the
sea strikes upon certain rocks with
the force OF seventeen tons for each
square yard
The pressure of water increases
with the depth. One mile down this

Gregory never missed n movement

SCIENTISTS TELL OF THE SEA
Some Facts Not Generally Known,
But OF Interest to the Man
Who Admires Nature.

Not only is the sea che reservoir
into which all rivers run, but It is the
cistern that finally catches all the
rain that falls not merely upon Its
own surface, but upon the surface of
the land and upon the roofs of our
houses. 1t has been calculated that
each year n layer Of the entire sea
fourteen feet thick is taken up into
the clouds. This vapor is fresh. and,
II all the water could be removed in
the same way, none OF 1t being re.
turned. there would, It is figured, be
left layer OF pure salt $50 feet high
on the bed OF tho Atlantic. These fig.
ures are based upon the assumption
that three feet of water contain one
inch of salt, and that the average
depth OF the ocean is three miles.
At depth Of about $500 feet the
temperature is uniform. varying but
little between the poles and the
equator, The colder water Ia below.

Speak to me. Grace. Tell me YOU

Her lips trembled. then he heard a
faint "Neyer!" Instantly neck and
brow were crimsoned; her face, al
ways superb, became enchanting. The
dignity OF the queen was lost In the
woman's greater charm.

II seemed that her eyeiids we're held

face was irradiated by the sunrise

kissed her lips, and as she remained
motionless, he kissed her again and

Suddenly she exclaimed blindly.

arms about him. as he drew her to his
bosom.
1t was at that moment. as II Fate
herself had timed the interruption,
that Fran entered.
There was violent movement of
mutual repulsion on the part OF Hamll-
ton Gregory and his secretary. Fran
stood very still, the sharpness of her
profile defined, with the keenness OF
eyes and slight grayness about the
lips that made her look oddly small
and old.

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

over the whip.
On the front seat OF the surrey were
Miss Sapphire and Bob Clinton. On
the back seat was Simon Jefferson
whose hairy hand gripped a halter

horse which should have been between
the shafts OF the Gregory buggy.

meant by wanting the air unstralned

on 1t. His face burned; that OF Grace
Noir was CHASTITY white.
Now, you" said Fran, her voice
vibrating as she faced the secretary,

Grace did not move.
Fran's eyes resembled cold stones
with jagged points as her steady arm
pointed: GO! Stand where | tell
you to stand, Oh, have tanned lions
before today You needn't look at me
so-l'm not afraid of your teeth"
Graces fear was not inspired by
dread OF exposure, but by the realza-
ton that she had donc what she could
not have forgiven in another. But for
the supreme moment she might never
have realized the real nature OF her
feeling for her employer. She stood
appalled, and humiliated, yet her spirit
rose in hot revolt because it was Fran
who had found her in Gregorys arms.
She glared at her dehantly.
