EFFECT OF HEAT ON GROUNL
DeFends Largely on the Nature and Color of the SoiI-Does Not
 Penetrate Far.

How far does the heat of the full sun~'s sun penetrate into the grCUnd?
 Replies generally vary from one inch to many hundred feet Actually, the distance is about three feet Be- yond this depth the temperature of the soil does not vary appreciably from hour to hour, let the midday be ever so hot and the midnight ever so cold At this depth the mean temperature i'll the summer is about 5S degrees Fahrenheit, and in the winter about 36 degrees Fahrenheit
 The surface heat takes a long while to penetrate downward. In fact, curi- ously enough, the change in tempera- ture of the ground takes just more than six months to reach the end of it's 20-foot journey
 In agricultural districts you will hear farmers in the same village talk ing about 'eold soils and warn" soils. This, although it sounds i'm probable to those who hay1 never had anything to do with the land, is an actual fact
 Everybody knows from personal ex- perience, that black clothes are hotter to wear when hot summers sun Is shining than white ones, hence the "fiannels" for men and the white frocks for girls. The reason for this is that black and other dark colors absorb heat, while white and the lighter shades reflect it. And this ap- plies to soils equally with cloths
 Those soils which by their ingredi- ents are a darker color are literally warmer than their lighter neighbors. Peaty soils, some of which are nearly black, others rich dark brown, are the warmest Light-colored clays and chalk the eoldest There may be as mich as 15 degrees or 16 degrees Fahrenheit between the temperatures Of two soils lying next each other and upon the same day.

Wolves In Canada.

There appears to be no doubt what ever of the increasing abundance of wolves in our north country. The in formation comes to us from too many sources to admit of any doubt on the subject. There are also perfectly nat ural reasons for believing in the in crease of these ravenous creatures in the Lake St. John country. All who have studied their habits know very we'll that they follow the red deer in it's migrations During the last few years, the deer have been driven far ther and farther south by the work of railway construction in the north and the wolves have naturally enough followed the deer.
 Then again the increase of big game, and especially of red deer. in the National Park, without a propor- tionate destruction of the following wolves, has apparently provided the destructive animals with a compara- lively safe asylum,-Quebec Chronicle.

BRIDES ALL GEI NEST EGG"
English Government Generous With It's Women Employees Who Leave
 the Service to Get Married

Perhaps it is owing to the fact that there are some million more women than men in the British isles that the government ts so generous with all the women in its employ Who decide to marry Anyway. last year more than $125,0oo was spent in dowry presents to women who married and since even more seem to be marrying this year the amount is expected to reach s15o.o09 al the least estimate. So 1t is apparent the god Of love does cost the state considerable every year.
 Every girl in the postoffiee receives & dowry from the government when she marries. the amount varying ac- co7ding to her length of service. And since the National Telephone com pany's system has been transferred to the state great many more wom- en and girls have entered the govern ment employ, which means infinitely more marriage dowries.
 The distribution of the marriage dowries is welcomed by nobody so much as by the postal staff them selves, for. although the women get the money, the members of the male staff so often marry postotfiee women that the interest in the government nest egg" becomes quite mutual.

Why the Ocean Is Salty.

The rivers of all the world pour their waters into the sea sooner or later. They wash down vast quanti- ties of solid matter and much matter In solution, of which the greater part is salt This may be in such small amount that 1t Is imperceptible in the river.
 The waters of the seas are evapor- ated by the sun, but none of the salt Is taken up into the clouds. So the water that returns to the earth in rain contains no salt: but by the time 1t reaches the sea again, after soak ing through the soil and flowing down the rivers. 1t has another load. Con sequently the oceans are receiving salt all the time and never giving up any of 1t.
