HEAT OF THE INTERIOR OF
THE EARTH.

This was one Of the subjects discussed
in the Convention ofAmerican Geologists5
recently held at Albany. Some of ihe
members Of that body suggest that the heat
ol the interior OF the earth, increases at the
rate of one degree Of Fahrenheit, to every
SO or go feet descent. This would be an
average of one degree TO every fty-fve
feet, which take as a basis tor my CAL
culations.
Assuming this theory TO be true, it
would follow, that the temperature OF any
given distance below the earth'a surface,
may be ascertained by mathematical cal.
culations. Allow the heat at the surface
TO be SO degrees, which is near the actual
temperature, it would then follow that at
the depth of eight thousand nine hundred
and ten feet, that poin, would be reached
where temperature il increased 10 PIP de-
grees of Fahrenheit. being tina; at which
water 5oils under common atmospheric,

BE- reached where iron would become lie

F~ahrenheit's scale, which is the melting

From numerous experiments which | have

great variation in the increase Of hea, in
the interior of the earth. K have found i'm
the atmospheric air above the earth's sur>

five years, all the i~ncisive teeth are re-

long and pretty white; but as the animals
advance In years, they wear down, be-

likewise shed their horns at the end of
three years and they are replaced by
others; which, like the second teeth con,

these horns is not uniform nor the shoot>

the fourth year of the animals age, two
small pointed horns make their appears

the head terminated by a kind of button.
The following year this button moves from

growing as long as The animal lives

A lady can never appear to as much ad'
vantage as when doing the honors Of her
own house. 1t is especially her province
TO entertain her guests, and she cannol en-
terrain them without being courteous to
all. AL her guests for the time being
are equal and have an equal claim upon
her attention ; if any difference be shown,
let it be towards those of lesser rank.
She should never enter her XVI house
without bowling 10 any one she may meet
there, and she should on no account find
fault with either servant or children be-
fore strangers.
AT an evening entertainment, no mater
how large a number of guests may be as
sembled, she should pass quietly around
the room and enter into conversation with
every one present in turn. Her n
should be characterised by gentleness and
suavi,y, and she should evince no over
anxiety TO please, and no di:quietude lest
everything should not go on smoothly.
Ii is the height of rudeness to press a
person to sing or play who refuses 10 do
so. A lady has no right TO force others
10 entertain her company. She should
never take offence at any remark made by
her guests-nor even make an answer
however witty, which might possibly
wound.
In offering a favor, take care TO do i!
so as not to offend the delicacy Of the one
10 whom it is offered. Never press a ia
vor after it has been refused.
Alteration is deviation from, at the
same time that it is an intimation of ma
lure. 1t is the effect Of bad taste, and Of
mistaken notions Of ones own qualities.
The other vices have each particular OBJ
jects, but afectation pervades and renders
d;sagreeable the whole conduct and be-
havior. Beauty itself loses It's attraction
when disigured by afecta,ion. Even TO
copy from the bes, models is wrong, be-
cause the imitation can never be as good
as the original.
