She empties her hot water into a

He holds out his hand for his father to

adds little palm oil to this, and very
carefully she anoints the little feet.
The sobs subside, and the child walks

Now the mother pours more water

COLOR OF SEA WATER.
From Tropical Azures to the Vivid
Greens Near the Poles.

Why is the ocean blue? Reflection OF
the sky. you say. This accounts for
some Of the color but not all. 1t is
we'll known that the tint varies great
~ in different localities. Persons TAX
ing sea water baths on ocean liners
are always surprised by the very no
ticeable color of their morning tubs.
Color in sea water is largely mat
ter Of sadness and density. In the
tropics the tremendous evaporation in
duced by the blazing sun causes the
water to be much saltier than in high
or ATTITUDES. For many miles north
and south of the equator the water or
the worlds oceans is deep blue which
fades and changes to green the fur
Their one goes toward thespoles. In
the Arctic and Antarctic oceans the
green's are almost as vivid as the
tropical azures China's Yellow sea
derives its color partly from the mud
dy water poured In by its great rivers
and partly from small organisms
which exist there in numbers which
exceed the 120O00,000 living creatures
to the square mile found on the aver
age
The question of salt in water brings
up our old friend the Dead sea, which
contains % per cent Of solid matter
and. bulk for bulk, is heavier than the
human body. Many believe, even in
Jerusalem. that bathing in this IA
nous body of water is harmful and
swimming impossible. This is not the
fact. The chloride Of magnesia in the
water possesses medicinal qualities if
it is not permitted to get into the eyes.
1t is true that the density of the water
renders fast progress in swimming diff
6cult, but the impossbiity of sinking
more than makes up for it.-Agwi

My FAvoRITE PASSAGE

"lchabod Cranes Evening Walks
Home"

In no way has Irving given US a
Gle arer conception of Ichabod Cranes
superstitlous disposition than BY
narrating, 10 general, his homeward
walks on dark nights, One can
| almost feel the reluctance with which
Ichabod left his corner by the crack
ling fire, and sailed forth into the
dreary winter night. One can see the
poor wretch start at the least little
noise, or stop stock still. paralyzed
with fright at the sight OF mere
bush covered with snow.
The thing, however, that is most
striking to a reader, particularly one
who is disguised with any kind of
superstition, Is the way iu which
Irving represents the effect upon the
credulous mind of reading supersti-
tious "trash," and OF conversation
upon such subjects. Just imagine,
for instance, the mental condition of
one who is frightened at the sound of
his own foot steps. Irving speaks of
the spectres which beset Ichabod as
''phantoms Of the mind that walk al
darkness. One might go a bit
further with 1t and call them "phan-
toms that walk in mental darkness"
