He based it upon a calculation of the quantity of water that rocks such as granite and porphyry absorb before becoming perfectly dry. He said that on the moon all water has been completely absorbed by slow diffusion as the rocks gradually cooled. Venus is still surrounded by a thick layer of vapor, while no water has yet been condensed on the surface of Mercury, this planet being still in a condition in which its geological life has not begun, and consequently no clouds have yet formed on its surface. M. Veronnet calculates that the rocks of our earth now contain absorbed water which would cover the earth to an average depth of about 400 metres.

Morning Exercises. Calisthenics taken in the early morning do much to kp up the general health.

Standing, warmly but loosely clad, at ah open window and inhaling deep breaths of fresh air will stimulate the blood quickly. This mlght.be followed with two or three easy exercises. One might consist of doubling the fists, placing them at the shoulders, and then thrusting theni out at arms' length swiftly. After that it would be well to bend, trying to touch the floor with the finger tips without bending the knees. These calisthenics might be concluded with a final one of kneeling and bending forward the floor from the waist.

It has been calculated that there occur about 30,000 earthquakes within a year, or 8,760 hours, hence, that there are on the average three and one-half earthquakes in an hour.

Fortunately, not all earthquakes are of a violent nature, like that of A. D. 52G, that killed from 120.000 to 200,000 persons in the region of the Mediterranean, or that of 1G93, to which 60,000 persons fell victims in Sicily, or of Lisbon in 1755, and those that devastated Chile; Peru and Japan. Of great frequency are the minor earthquakes. In fact, our so-called firm earth can be said to be In a state of perpetual agitation.

Our senses do not perceive the slight disturbances, but the seismograph, a very delicate and ingenious apparatus devised to keep track of them, furnishes all the information denied to us by our natural insensibility. They often furnish us too much of it in the excess of their zeal, recording sometimes as seismic phenomena vibrations that later proved to have been due to the ringing of church bells.

Gifted Writers Indolent. De Quincey has called Coleridge "fc man of infinite title pages," and ho says he heard Coleridge admit that' a list of the books he meditated tmt never executed would fill a large volume. In this respect the two opltfgi eaters were rivals. Perhaps their fertility in projects was due, as Coleridge fancied, to an overactivity of thougv, "modified by a constitutional Indolence," and had nothing to do wiOi opium. On the other hand, De Quia-cey believed that his oplnra eating prevented him from writing the book Hp intended to make his life work, the slow and elaborate result of years of toll, to which he had "presumed to give the title of an unfinished work of Spinoza's, 'De Emendatione Hu-manl In a later mood he devised a "Prolegomena to All Future Systems of Political Economy," and made arrangements with a provincial printer for Its production, but Its author never even got as far as the preface.
