How the Earth, Whioh Was Born Out
of a Mast of Flaming Gases, Cams to
Have Its 8urfaoe Covered With a
Liquid Which Cannot Endure Fire.
The story of the origin of water In
volves that of the birth of the earth.
According to the generally accepted
hypothesis, the earth was once a muss
of heated gases, which included. In one
form or another, every chemical ele
ment that we know. Among these
gases were oxygen and hydrogen, the
two elements by whose combination
water is formed. But there was no
water then because the heat was too
great to permit of the combination of
oxygen and hydrogen. The elements
of water were present, but not water
itself.
As the gaseous mass continued to
cool a temperature was reached at
which combination could begin to take
place, and then water appeared in the
form, not of liquid, but of an invisible
vapor which we call watery vapor.
Although oxygen and hydrogen had
combined in this vapor, the heat was
still too great for It to condense into
the liquid state. With further cooling.
however, it did undergo a partial con
densation Into that form of water
which we know as steam. At that time
the globe was probably a great white
hot ball, enveloped at a vast height
above Its surface with a hissing shell
or envelope of steam. In this Immense
steamy shell was contained. In the
vaporous form, all the water that the
future earth was to possess. The
oceans were there, afloat as scalding
clouds!
The central mass continued to cool
and condense, and at last when the
temperature of the rocky crust that
had besun to form about It had de
scended to about 370 degrees C, the
first true water that is. liquid water
appeared on the earth. It fell In hot
drops from the vaporous envelope and
at first no doubt was Instantly recon
verted Into steam by contact with the
heated crust After awhile the crust
became so cool that the descending
water could remain upon It In the liq
uid state. Then the mighty rains fell
thicker and faster from the condensing
envelope until the accumulated water
formed great oceans or perhaps at the
beginning one universal ocean sur
rounding the entire earth. That would
depend upon the form of the surface of
the crust nt the time when the descent
of the waters occurred. The origin of
the present ocean basins goes back to
the very beginning of geological his
tory and antedates every period that
can be fixed with reasonable certainty.
These facts explain why the earth
has so great a quantity of water and
where that water came from.
It Is believed that the ocenns cannot
continue to exist for all time as we see
them today. The minerals constituting
the solid crust of the earth are contin
ually absorbing water. It has been
calculated that granite contains two
gallons of absorbed water In every cu
bic yard. The condition of the moon,
as revealed by telescopes and by pho
tography, shows that a globe may, ns
far at least as Its surface is concerned,
become absolutely arid, no water what
ever remaining upon it, although in
ages past it may have been covered
with oceans.
The drying up process, however,
must be a slow one. and no consider
able quantity of the oceanic wuters
can be absorbed into the earth's inte
rior until the core of the globe has be
come relatively cool. At present the
internal heat is so great that water
cannot penetrate to a depth of more,
say, than twenty miles at the most. It
Is only as the rocks cool that they be
gin to take up water in combination.
If we heat water to the boiling point
we turn it into steam. If we heat the
steam still further.it becomes an in
visible vapor, which may be made so
hot that it will char a piece of paper
like a flame. On the other hand, if we
cool water to the freezing point it
turns Into a brittle solid-ice.
So If we had happened to be boru In
a fiery hot world we should only have
known water as a scaring vapor, capa
ble of devouring metals like a strong
add, and. on the contrary. If our lot
had been enst In an intensely cold
world our only knowledge of water, as
a natural product, would have been In
the shape of a solid, harder than most
rocks. Garrett P. Servlss in New
York Journal.
Gelkie Place It at Between 250,000 and
600,000 Year.
In his work. "The Antiquity of Man
Id Europe." Professor James tieikie
of Edinburgh university declares nts
belief tbat man has Inhabited Europe
between 250.000 and 500.000 years.
All such estimates are based on geo
logical facts, such as the rate at which
sediment is deposited or at which stal
agmites grow, that are very bard to
determine with any accuracy, but no
one oow doubts that man Is far older
than men of science originally suppos
ed him to be.
"When we reflect," says Professor
GelUle. "on the many geographical
changes that man has witnessed the
submergence and re-elevatiou of enor
mous tracts, the erosion of valleys and
general lowering of the surface by de
nudutlou, when we consider that be
has lived through a succession of stu
pendous climatic revolutions; that he
has seen widely contrasted floras and
faunas alternately occupying our conti
nent tuudras. steppes and great for
ests succeeding each other again and
again we must feel convinced that the
few thousand years that have elapsed
since the downfall of Babylonian, As
syrian and Egyptian empires are as
nothing compared with the long aeons
that separate the earliest times ot his
tory from the apparition of palaeolith
ic man in Europe."
The Acorn.
Take a large acorn, suspend it by a
thread so as to nearly tonch the water
in any glass vessel, set it upon your
mantelshelf, bracket or table and let
it Btnnd there for about two months
without in any way Interfering with It
excepting to supply fresh water. The
acorn will burst, throw a root down
into the water and n stem upward,
sending out from the stem beautiful
green leaves.
Precaution.
"Why did you insist on having your
new servant arrive on Saturday?" ask
ed the neighbor.
There's no train back till Monday."
replied Mrs. Crosslots. "We wanted
to be sure of having help for onr Sun
day dinner." Washington Star.

RIFLE SIGHTS.
The Drop of the Bullet In Its Flight
Makes Them Necessary.
The average person if asked to ex
plain why a rifle Is sighted would prob
ably be unable to do so beyond some
vague remark about taking correct aim
Rights are necessary because a bullet
does not travel in a straight line, but,
under the Influence of gravity and fric
tion, begins to drop almost as soon as
it leuves the muzzle. Thus the bullet
of the British service rifle drops six
inches In the first 100 yards, but when
It bus gone 200 yards it will have drop
ped not twelve Inches, but two feet
The drop Increases by leaps and bounds
with the distance. Were there no
tights on the rl He and you wanted to
hit a mark at 200 yards you would
clearly have to aim two feet above It
This would be awkward, for you
would lose sight of the mark aimed
at to say nothing of the dllllculty of
correctly estimating a distance of two
feet at 200 yards.
The sights of a rifle enable yon to
keep your eye on the mark, although
the muzzle of the rifle Is actually point
lng above It. The movable slide of
the backsight enables you automatical
ly to point the muzzle just so many
feet above the mark aimed at as Is
necessary to counteract the known
drop of the bullet at various ranges.

' Teaching Cubs to Kill.
Ilave you ever seeu a cut catch a
mouse and hand it over to her kittens
to teach them bow to kill? Well, a
tiger is merely a big cut and she
tenches her cutis almost in the same
way. only not with mice. An East In
dian officer witnessed a scene of this
kind. An old hull bison had been the
victim, and the tigress bud disabled
blin by breaking one of bis forelegs
just below the knee. She never touched
the throat the usual place of seizing,
but allowed the cubs to worry the dis
abled animal. The eyewitness relates
that the cubs acted exactly like kittens,
ndvauced and retreated and worried
the victim, all the time mewing and
snarling, while the tigress sat near by,
watching their antics and occasionally
giving the bison a blow with her paw
when be showed undue activity.

ELECTION DATE PUZZLE.
Why the "First Tuesday After the First
Monday" In November?
Nearly all the American world knows
tbat the national election and nearly
all of the state elections occur on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday in
November, but probably not one in all
the millions of voters and nonvoters
can tell "why" that date was selected
for the choice of electors. The "when"
is easy of discovery, but that Is anoth
er story. It is always the first Tues
day after the first Monday, but any
body who looks nt the calendars of
several years In November will see
that the date varies almost every year.
Years ogo the writer inquired of
many of the most learned congressmen
In Washington ns to the "why" of the
mystery. Not one could answer ex
cept to say, "Illess me, T don't know."
Harry Smith, who for long years was
Journal clerk of the house of repre
sentatives, was almost a magician In
dragging to light those little mysteries
associated with the history of the coun
try. He sought high and low as to the
"why" actually for months and then
gave It up.
It is really one of the curiosities of
our national legislation. II. II. It.
Meyer, chief bibliographer of the Con
gressional library, says:
"As to why the first Tuesday nfter
the first Monday In November Instead
of the first Tuesday in November was
fixed for the date of presidential elec
tions, we have to report that no satis
factory answer can be given." E. W.
Llgbtner in Pittsburgh Dispatch.

"Oh, I don't know." responded the
