It? rovornl seientillc genllenien have
attempted to answer this first quest inn,
nnd their elTnrts are not entirely catis
fnctnry. Tiro siicnnil qtivstiim is not so
di (limit.
Aecortling to tlio history of llin crea
tion of tlin worltl, tut told by Muses in
thn Genesis, it is implied that thn oceau
existed beforn tlin litnil, for, on thn
"third duy" tho"wntnrnniler thn heav
ens" was Rtithnrud together nnd the dry
land appeared.
This statement hns bothered a great
nnmbnr of aliln philosophers, who, In
thnir effort to stink to tho letter of the
Bcriptnre and at the snmo time to ma
son ont everything on perfectly nntnrnl
principles, have boon pnaialed to know
how such n Brand transformation could
be accomplished in one day. And thnir
perplexity was not relieved when learn
ed geologists aunnnnced that it mnst
have required agns for the waters that
enveloped thn earth to subside and re
Teal this land that lay beneath.
Bnt when it was anggnstnd that the
word "day" as used by Mosos meant,
not a period of 24 honrs, bnt an era of
thousands of years, the difficulty was
removed. This meaning of thn word
"day" is at present generally aeeoptod
by devont scientists, who now deolnre
that thnre is nothing impossible In Mo
ses' Bcoonnt of the creation.
This description, to be snre, is la
mentably brief. It was hnrdly adequate
to pass over sneh a hnge event as the
creation of a world in a few lines. That
was a big story from a newspapor point
of view, nnd all thoughtful persons
mast acknowledge thut Moses did not
take advantage of his opportunity.
Accepting the Mosuio account, Dr. T.
8. Hunt, a learned writer on tho phys
ical history of thn globe, supplies what
Moses left ont, and in so doing hi gives
a very good reason for tho presence of
tho suit in tho sea. Having arrived at
tho point of Moses' tnoager narrative
where the earth was iu n molten state
and surrounded by an envelope nf gases
and of water vapor, Dr. Hunt suys :
"The carbonates, chlorides and sul
phates (chemical ooinbinutions of car
bon, chlorine and snlphnr with oxygon)
were changed into silicates. The car
bon, chlorine and snlphnr, being thns
freed from the oxygen, separated in the
form of acid gases. These, with nitro
gen, vapor of wator and a probable ex
cess of oxygen, formed the atmosphere,
which was very douse (and also very
unhealthy).
"The surface of the earth was cover
ed with lumps of molten rock (probably
resembling farnace sing). The depressed
parts of the surface were filled with
highly heated solutions of hydrochloric
and sulphuric, acids, whiob ate into the
surface and decomposed It In this way
tho silicates were changed to pnre silica,
taking the form of quarts as the atmos
phere cooled, and the condensation of
the vaporous atmosphere produced sea
water, holding In solution salts of sodi
um, calcium, magnesium and ammoni
um. The atmosphere, thus freed of its
noxious elements, became pore and fit
for man."
It la therefore evident that the sea
has been salty from the creation of the
world. The salt does not come, as is
generally supposed, from friction of the
water against salt "rooks" In the bed
of the ocean. This, then, answers the
first question. Where did the salt come
from I The second question is pretty
well answered by Mr. G. W. Little
hales In Apple ton 'a Popular Science
Monthly.
"It seems," he says, "that the sea
was made salt in the beginning as
part of the grand design of the Creator
to provide for the system of evolution
which baa been going on slnoe the crea
tion. Many distinot species of living
organisms exist In the sea as result of
Its salinity, and their remains have
largely contributed to the growth of con
tinents.' The minute creatures that have lyed
In thn sea fur nges past liavo left endur
ing nioiitinients iu the shape of islands,
rocks nnd continents. If the sea had not
been sully, thesn murine animals could
not hnvo existed and secret oil thn hard
Biilistanco known as "calcareous skele
ton," which Iiiih largely contributed to
thn growth nf continents. Aiming these
early Inhabitants of thn sea wern corals,
erinolils, sun urchins mid starfishes.
Thn snltiness of thn sen bus also much
to do with tho ocean currents, which
distribute the heat of ilio tropics over
tlin collier regions of t lie earth. Currents
urn largely dun to thn difference be
tween thn specific gravity of sen wuler
nnd thn fresh water of rains. Thus,
when rain fulls on a certain purt of thn
ocean, tho effort of thn heavier suit wn
ter of thn (M'euu to establish mi equilib
rium causes a current. New York

"I was a full, slender Juliet and my

The moon she (Romeo) swore by we
found to be the headlight of a railway
engine hired for tho occasion. This was
held by a small negro boy perched upon
a ladder, who was so amused by tho play
that he laughed until he shook over the
most trnglo scenes. His mirth, as may
be imagined, was not conducive to the
moon's steadiness. At one time she was
shining in an upper box, at another on
the head of a bald lnnsiclun, often
blinding the unfortnmttos In the front

Dumas, after staring some time at
her, pnt his forefinger to the tip of his

kept it lo for some time, still staring.
Tho pantomime was grossly impertinent.
I thought and so did every ono else
that tho poor girl would hurst into tears.
Bhe langhcd, not a bit hysterically, and,
feeling she was an object of general at
tention and of sympathy, made a fnnny
remark on the grimace thut M. Dnmns

to rally her. She flung back retorts. I

Schlaparelli, the astronomer who first

8ervisa of Brooklyn, in speaking of hi

aid that Sohiaparelli would hold a vis
itor's card within five or six Inches of
bl eye in order to decipher it. The sin
gular part of this story I not that a
man with suoh an infirmity should be
able to outdo other astronomers, for
keenness of vision depend rather upon
the retina than the convexity of the
lenses of the eye, and the eyepiece of a
telescope can be f ooussed so aa to nit
the latter. But it doe seem a little odd
that the gifted scientist in question
should habitually refrain from wearing
eyeglasses. Possibly he has a theory a
to the effect of their use upon hi visual

The greater rapidity with which Ger

counted for merely by stating that their

than does thut of thn French or Italian.
A (4reek, for instance, learns English in
