Pine trees are assertod to be a sure eafeguard against many of the prevaâ€" lent epidemic discases. It has been found in America that wherever unâ€" healthy districts have been planted with pine plantations the low fever has left them, and when cholera was raging, thoso districts which were largely planted with conifers . were perfectly free from the epidemic.

A rope long enough to sound their remote depths would reach from the batâ€" tery to Sixtyâ€"second street. In these valleys there are no plants, weeds or vegetation of any kind, because such forms of â€" life need light, and at these depths there is total darkness. Animal life flourishes. Many of these deep sea animals are gigantic. These animals are all or nearly all, without eyes. Most of them eat mud and slime, but there are others who seek livâ€" ing prey, find it by means of great feelers and then grasp and kill it with long tentacios, It is strange that in these dark and freezing abyssos vast quantiâ€" ties of vegetable matter are found that during their lives were bathed in tropical sunlight and in water s0O degrees above zero. These deposits lie side by side with other organisms which passed all their lives in dark. ness and at a temperature near the freezing point. ‘The vegetable or ganisms were originally absorbed by plants and animals on the earth‘s surface or in the shallow waters, and it is estimated that three. fourths of the deposits now coverâ€" ing the bottom of the ocean h:n'ei at some time passed through the alimentary canals of marine ani.| gra h y Great Collections of Drift Mave Found Repose on the Ocean Bed.

This problem of the earth‘s age has now been attacked by a mineraloâ€" gist in the person of Professor Joly, an Irishman. He Aarrives at his conâ€" elusions by considering the primal crust of the earth to have conâ€" gisted of minerals which were of the _sime composition as those existing at the present time, and that the primative rain and rivers containâ€" ed no sodium, but a certain amount of chlorine is supposed to have been present in the atmosphere as h."dro-l chioric acid. Then, by assuming eroâ€"| slon of the land to have proceeded| uniformly from theearliest geojogiâ€" cal at the present time, the amount of any substance discharged in al known time by anll the rivers would give the amount of that substance removed from the land in that length of time. In the present _ inâ€" | strince sodium was taken as the | basis Tt is supposed to be removed | from the rocks as common sait. The data for the calculations are as follows: The rivers of the wnrldl contain 24,106 tons of sodium per | cublec mile, and their discharge into | the ocean is at the rate of 6.425 | cubic miles per annum. Tlmrvrorn.‘ the mass of sodium in the ocean di-l vided by the mass annually brought! down by the rivers gives the length ; of time in which the mass in the | occan accumulated. ‘The result is 89,565,000 years, or about !?(),(l()(),.‘ 000 years as the age of our earth. length of time.
