Fragile in color a summer sky
Reflected in some fairy haunted mere,

Pale pgr srded with the sweet of heaven,
Whose fervency is a heaven
Perceant pillar to a dream

Nor wotteh she the sapphire in the Sky,
Each Vernal thing proclaims Life cannot die"

Through lives of love and affluence springs

masters intimate friend to he fed
one day this friend followed the dog
and was led by him TO the forest of
bondy. Here the dog scratched away
the earth. disclosing the BODY OF Mon.
s!eur Aubry. From that time the dog
would never quit this friend and II
was noticed that whenever he met
man named Macaire he would show
| every sign OF anger, and once he flew

so different from the French duel OF

When the Sea Was Fresh Water.

The ocean was once merely brackish
and not salt. as it is now. This was
when the earth was in its first youth
and before there was any land showing
at all or any animal life In the water
At this time the water was gradually
cooling from ITS original state Of steam,
and the salts were slowly undergoing
the change from gases into solids
Then came tie appearance of land and
later On rivers. which gradually wash
ed down more and more salts. while at
the bottom the ocean itself chemical
action was constantly adding more
brine to the waters. At present ii Is
estimated tb"t there are in the worlds
oceans 7.0O0OO0 cubic miles OF salt, and
the most astonishing thing about II Is
that If all the salt could be taken out
in a moment the level Of the water
would not drop one single inch.
