Oceans occupy three-fourths of the

A mile down tbe water Has a pres
sure of a ton op every square inch. If
a box six feet deep were filled with sea
water and allowed to evaporate, there
would be two inches of salt left on the
bottom of the box. Taking tho aver
age depth of tho oceans of the world
to be three miles, there would be a
layer of salt 230 feet thick qver the en
tire bed should the water 'evaporate*
The water of the ocean fa colder at the
bottom than at the surface. In many
places, especially in the bays on the
coast of Norway, the . water’freezes at
the bottom before it does above.
Wavesare very deceptive. To look
at them in a storm one would think
the whole water traveled. The water
stays, in the same place, but the mo-
tion goes on. Sometimes in storms
these waves are forty feet high, and
travel fifty miles per hour—nearly
twice aS fast as the fleetest steamship.

An act has been passed by the En
glish parliament under which every
ship aud steamer going to sea must b«
S rovided with sufficient boats, or with
fa saving rafts, to accommodate every
person on boaid, crew or j)as*engers.
A London firm has opportunely pat
ented a raft which may be folded up
so tiiat it will-take no more room upon
a ship's deck than does an ordinary
life boat, and which may, in fact, b*
made a chuck for Abe reception of the
life boat, and both boat and raft, by
an ingenious, but really simple con
trivance may be put overboard by th*
same set of davits, aud the raft follows
the boat so quickly that the two are
sent afloat within a couple of minutes
of each other.—Now Orleans Picayune.
