SEEK WEALTH UNDER OCEAN
Miners Think Little of Eurrowing Be-
meath the Waves in Their Pur-
suit for Treasure.

Man is burrowing animal. In the
pursuit of wealth he will even burrow
under the sea. The most valuable
iron mines in Nova Scotia are under
the ocean. There are outcroppings OF
the ore beds on shore, but the miners
follow them far ont as they dip down
under the sea floor.
1t might be asked, how do they pre-
vent the sea floor from caving in upon
them? No trouble at all about that.
Enough of the iron-bearng material Is
left untouched to serve as pillars, up
holding the roof.
Elsewhere on the coast of Nova
Scotia coal is mined in the same way,
under the sea. 1t IS an excellent quail
ity Of bituminous coal. On the coast
OF CORNWALL, in England, mining is
done for tin under the ocean, the lodes
being followed out from shore. The
bottom is of solid granite and the
workmen can actually hear the boul
ders rolling about over their heads as
the storm waves drive them about.
In one case a vein extraordinarily
rich in tin was found ut extreme low
water in patch of rock. A bulkhead
WAS built around the rock and shaft
sunk, large quantities of precious ore
being taken out before storm wiped
out the work.

Oddities of the Frog.

If size of the head were an index
of brain power the frog, would be
an intellectual prodigy. Its Uranium
is auge, but its brain is very small in
proportion to the body.
The frog has only nine Sertebrae--
fewer than any other animal with a
backbone possesses. Lacking ribs, IL
is obliged to swallow by guIps the air
II breathes, instead of projecting its
chest as we do and creating vacuum
for air to pour into.
