Salt Is carried down year after year

then. we can divide the entire amount
of salt at present IN the ocean by the
amount carried down in year, the
quotient will be the probable age of
the earth. Simpler Oh, yes. Profess
sor Jolly has worked 1t out to 99,000,-
600 years. but to be on the safe side he
reduces that number to 100000

years is negligible to those who can
think In such numbers.

The Bob Whites Get a Square
Meal.

When Farmer Browns Boy came to
the door to see what all the fuss in
the henyard was about Bully the
English Sparrow expected to see Bob
White and his family fly away. When
they didn't, Bully hardly knew what
to make of it. You see, he himself and
his family always flew when Farmer
Browns Boy came near. Probably if
Bob and his comrades had not been so
very, very hungry, they would have
flown.
BLESS my heart" exclaimed Farm
er Browns Boy, as he saw the little
brown birds scurrying about among
the hens trying to get something to
eat. BLESS my heart, l had forgotten
all about Bob White. I ought to have
put some grain out for the quail. Poor
little chaps. they must be nearly
starved" With that he started for
the henhouse.
At his first appearance all the Spar
rows flew up to the roof of the barn.
AS he drew near the barpyard Bob
White and his family whirred up out ,
of the henyard. Bully the English
Sparrow shrieked joyously. Having
been driven away himself, he rejoiced
in seeing the Bob Whites driven away.
When Farmer Browns Boy came out
Of the henhouse he held in his hand a
little pan of wheat and cracked corn
and chaff. These goodies he scattered
over the snow outside the henyard.
Bully the English Sparrow watched,
and knew not what to make of it. OF
only one thing was Bully certain, and
this was that he meant to have his
share and a little more of that grain.
,rfi Yrpo
Bow was out of the way, and then he
and his family would take possession.
But Farmer Browns Boy kept just
within the henhouse door. Bully could
see him because Bully was sitting on
the roof of the barn and could look
right down i'm the open henhouse. So
long as Farmer Browns Boy was
there Bully did not dare go down for
the grain spread on the snow.
Presently there was a whir Of swift
wings, and there were Bob White and
his family back there just outside the
cred the grain. Bully watched them
jealousy. After a little Bob White
found the feast spread for him, and
with gentle call brought all his
family running to have a share in it.
Bully chuckled as he saw Farmer
shoot them or something" thought
Bully. and watched eagerly. But
Farmer Browns Boy did nothing of
the kind. He smiled as he watched
the hungry Bob Whites.
How those hungry birds did pick up
that grain: They picked it up until
the very last bit disappeared. Then at
a happy little signal from Bob White
they followed him in whirring little
brown cloud down to the far corner
of the Old Orchard. They had had a
square meal, and suddenly all the
world was bright and joyous place
in spite of the cold.
