Just as strange as another:
"No, it was not London in which I then found my.
self; not the London air, nor the London roped ; the
atmosphere was not only clear as noonday in Italy,
but there was a balmy warmth in the sunshine, and
the whole pLwe was fresh and breezy. What a city!
How shall I describe its dazzling transccndant splen-
dour?

litely, that accounts for your surprise. Your lot
Was cast in very barbarous days, a dark age for civilisa-
tion; in fact, while

what could one expect ?

In your day; and for (lie last, its folly happily became
evident to those who had 'icier considered its wicked-
ness.'

! ' gab! I; 'and pray what is that exceed-
ingly. MA spire which looms in the distance?'
' That, ,he answered, 'is the great watehlight
of London. &century an the streets were li;zhted by
thousands of yellow, dingy gait lamps; we now sub-
stitute one enormous jet of purr white light, which
shoots upwards of a mile high, and illuminates the
whole city effectually. Our houses are. as you obaerve,
lemi-transparent— they are thus tilled with light
within also; and as our atmosphere wird for-
merly to be !morel iially cold and foggy,

owl and all other combustible materials (which were
not only productive if smoke, but of danger), by
warming the whole city from below.'
From below ?' I imiuired, doubtful of his meaning.
'From below,' he replied, calmly. 'You were
probably aware, even in the nineteenth century, that
the interior of the earth was of a very high tempera-
ture.'

Yes,' T replied, 'we knew that if iron existed
forty or fifty miles below the surface, it must always
be in a state of fusion.'
"Exactly so,' he answered ; 'it was, however. not
Certainly known, though it had been conjectured before
your day, that the earth was hollow - in short, that
there was a central at ity. Well, sir, it was found
that the crust was particularly thin under me part of
these dominions, namely, under the county of Devon.
A shaft was therefore sinik, and by that means we can
pr?Fureag much heat as we desire.'
'The differing thickne,i of the crust aco
then, for difference of climate under the same la-
titude?' I Awned.'
" ' You are quite right,' be answered, ' it does.
In Kerguelen', I.and, fifty degrees south latitude,
human life cair hardly be sustained during the win-
ter, as your coutennswaries found to their cot. when
they sailed in search of the 'magnetic i leo; yet in near-
ness to the terrestrial isde it is equal tot ;reenwich. The
crust of the earth is there remarkably thick.'
Then the change )oti have 'mule In your climate
Is the reason why these tall palms and other tropical
trees grow No freely?'
"'(if course.' he answered 'we know letter now

planted from Central .liiierica, wleTe they were '.cry
much in the way of the new Irish inetnipili,. leiiig
very high, they shade the tops of the lonises ; also
the oaks and elms of tlie country, which would other-
wise receive too much light in the night.'
"Sell" I remarked. "There is another Hot
which was a 'great problem to my ”eneration. amid
which I wish you w. oil clear up. Pray what do' you
do with your surplus population!"
" Surplus!' he repeated, 'surplus Why we
have only juseenough lic!!ple ,here, now the !

that they are seldom in want either of shade or water.'
Awl your poor?' I inquired.
" Why, the difference of intelligence. a. well as
