The Popular ticienct iVsics deals in some incomprehensible figures in regard to the waters of the earth. The area of the ocean i& about three times that of the land; the one being estimated at 52,000,000, and the other at about 125,000,000 sqoare miles. The average depth of the ocean is 2000 fathoms. This would give a total volume of water equal to more than sixty trillion cubic feet. This sum expressod in figures would be represented by a sir -with nineteen ciphers. "Water is encroaching upon the land at the rate of about one foot in 3,600 years. This would indicate that in 10,000,000 years the land wiil be covered by the sea. But, as we indicated in a previous article, there is an opposing force which gradually uplifts the land, the war finally ending in the triumph of the land and the total extinction of the water. At present we may be truly said to bo surrounded by water, for in the unseen air above us there is an average" of more than thirteen billion cubic feet of water,- which, if suddenly con densed, would form a vast ocean of itself. It requires about two thousand billion feet of water to keep all the lakes and rivers of tho globe .supplied for six months. If this mighty volume of water should suddenly cease to flow to the ocean, no appreciable effect would be noticed. If however, there is, as has been estimated, 10,000,000 square miles of ice and snow at the polar regions, with an average depth of 500 feet, and it should liquefy, there would result & volume of water represented by 139,392 with twelve ciphers; in other words, one hundred and thirty-nine thousand three hundred and ninety-two billion square feet. This, with the waters of the lakes n& rivers, if precipitated into the sea, would cause an elevation of its surface quite serious to think of. But we have little to fear from such a source. These facts and figures, basetl upon scientific investigations, present a fair specimen of the patience and zeal with which our philosophers pur sue their researches into the hid den mvsteries of nature. Shall we Know Each Other Thoro? The minister of a fashionable churoh once preached a beautiful sermon on this subject. He drew the picture of a very beautiful heaven. We would walk in sunlit groves, by the music of water falls, and gaze out on the amaran thine fields. And then, too, "we shall know each other there,1' said the minister, and then added, "there'll be no strangers in the New Jerusalem; we shall all be friends." "Beautiful!" said Deacon Sham, as he trotted down the aisle. "A. lovely sermon!" said Miss Simkins, as she put her bony hand into the minister's. She was stop ped by a poor mechanic, who came up and addressed the preach er: "Mr. , I am glad we shall rec ognize each other up there." "Yes," said the minister, "it is one of the grandest consolations of our religion." "Well, I'm right glad we shall know each other. It will be a great, change, though for I have attended your church for over four years, and none of the mem bers of this society have recogniz ed me yet. But "we shall know eoh other there." Gen. Omn L. Mann, Sheriff of Chicago, 111., gives this as his opinion of St. Jacobs Oil: "Some time ago I was troubled with rheumatism. Every one was free with "his sympathy and sugges tions, but nothing relieved me of the severe pain. I had read the Ustiawnials of people I know who had been cured by the use of St. Jacobs Oil, and I thought I would tWt it. The first application worked wonders,- and 1 was not omg & sufferer. It is wonderful w&at little show that malady has vrh brought into contact with ike Great rain Panacea." :Tht, JHki Oewjfa. can be so fit SokL fey W- K. Daat. A Formidable Rival to ths Canadian Pacific A Montreal, Canada, special states that a contract for another great railway enterprise has boen given out to build a new line called the Ontario and Pacific Railway, from Cornwall, on the bank of the St. Lawrence, to Sault St. Marie, to connect with the Northern Pacific Railway over tln big bridge, a distance to the west ern termiuus of 700 miles. It is claimed this will make the most direct and shortest line to the west from the Atlantic seaboard, and will give the Northern Pacific the advantage over both the Ca" nadian Pacific and Grand Trunk from ocean to ocean. The Do minion government's charter gives the company the power to build a bridge over the St. Law rence1 and American connections are already secured from the bor der line to Portland, Maine, Bos ton and New York. A large part of the new road will run almost parallel with the Canadian Pacific, to Sault St. Marie. It will re ceive bonuses from municipal and other sources. The contract was given to a Philadelphia man. and I gates of hell, the hideous shrieks the promoters are American and I of those whom thou hast destroyed Canadian caput lists. Bonds to j hall pierce thoe holl'-s first wel the extent of 12,000,000 will be I come." issued. This will be a tremen-! - . . - - . dous rival to the Canadian Pacific. ; Duncan, M'cTntre and R. B. ! Angus, directors, and Vanhorne,! general manager, went off in haste j to meet President Stephens of the ; Canadian Pacific, relative to this: threatening scheme. How they I can counteract it without purchas- i ing the charter is i mystery. The ! project, which has been kept a i secret,, has produced a sensation ! here. It is popular, as the Cana-: dians have been crying out against railway monopolies. A Primitive Railroad I wish 1 could give you a de scription that would do justice to , a railroad I rode on in Oregon. There used to be some coal mines up at Coquille City, and a wooden i tramway was run up from the head of Coos Bay. The mines gavei out, but the tramway was left. 1 ! heard there was a railroad, and when I got there the train had backed up to the end of the track. Well, you would have died to tee that train of cars. The old man who had appropriated the tramway had got an old engine out of the mine and mounted ii on a hand car and connected the driving , shaft with the handle. This was the engine and tender. The bag-' gage, mail and express cars and the passenger coaches were com-, prised in two rubble cars, such as are used in the section for carry ing tools, rails, etc. The old man was a no less wonderful combina tion than the train. He was the company and the working force of the road. President, vice-president, stockholders, agent, con ductor, engineer, fireman and pea nut boy were all comprised in his j lank form. He never hud any trouble with the stockholders, and he carried the general office in his hat. My fellow passenger raised an umbrella when he got on board, and on my inquiry as to the need of an umbrella, said I had better raise mine 1 would need it. W hen the train started I found ! out ho was right. The puffing, wheezy old engine sent soot and water over us in a perfect shower. We got along, however, very well, and would have made the trip as quickty as we could have walked it, if the train had not stopped when we were about half way and waited half an hour for a man who wanted to go with us to finish his supper.

Chicago has had .sixty-nine un doubted murders since tiio begin ning of the year 1SS1, and of all the murderers only one has been hanged. There never was a time before when punishment was so slowly and meagerly m-ted out to criminals, a state of affairs gorier ally attributed to moneyed influ ence; but maybe justice is imbued with the Adventist's idea, that th end is at hand, and temporary I sentence lor crime a mockery in the eleventh hour. "Vengence is mine, saith the Lord." The Rev. Mr. Brand of Ohcr lin, Ohio, whose sermon about Druggist Branson, a sly rumsellor, has led to a suit for damages, wound up tho discourse by a '. dressing Bronson thus: "Good men shall breathe freer at thy death and utter thanksgiving when thou art gone. Men shall place thy gravestone as a monumentand a testimony that a plague is stayed; and as, borne on tho blast, thy guilty spirit whistles toward tho Absolutely Pure. ThU powder never varies.
