more remarkable is it TO find the floor
Of the ocean covered in many parts

bodies whirl about IN The heavens like
miniature comets and are for the most
part broken into innumerable frag

heavenly visitants as shooting stars,
but it has been only lately discovered
that this cosnaic dust forms layers at

Of $3.50 fathoms-oyer two miles and
a half-a vast layer Of this material
