A DELEGATE FROM LDERIA.-We yesterday,
SAYS the Baltimore Sun of the 10TH had an inter
view with Mr.. Levin Harris of Liberia, one of the
coored colonsts who recently arrived in this coun
try in company with Gov. Roberts, having for their
object the obtaining of useful information, as we'll
as of ensting the feelings of the colored people in
the cause Of colonization. Mr. Harris is fair
specimen of the Liberan farmer and mechanic,
having been in that country some twenty years,
and is Intimately acquainted with all that pertains
to the colony, as well with the native tribes in
the vicinity of the colony. On the occasion of the
attack on the missionary station Haddington, in
1899, Mr.. Harris, it will be remembered, made Il
successful defence against 300 native warriors only
assisted by two c0Ionists and two or three native
boys, repusing them with great loss. 1t is his in
tention to remain few days in this city and State,
with the view of spreading useful information
among his colOred brethren and will take the OPP
portunity of addressing them as well in Baltimore
as the western section of the State. He has for
the present, we believe, gone to Frederick

The value Of all Knowledge should

The youth destined to be clergyman,

in which those thoughts were uttered.

from accumulated experience, and
certainly the elementary branches of

SCIENTIFIC.

A fact of great interest has been
proved by boring for Ar'esian wells in
the suburbs of Paris, namely, that as
we 90 towards the centre Of the earth
the temperature increases at the tate OF
abou: one degree for every fifty feet, -
That The whole interior portion ofihe
earth, or at least a great part of il, is
an igneous ocean Of melted rock, agi-
tated by violent winds, though | do
not affirm it, is still rendered highly
probable by the the phenomenon Of
volcanoes. The facts connected with
the eruptions have been ascer!ained,
and placed beyond dispute. How
then are they to be accounted fo?-
The theory prevalent some years since,
that they are caused by the combustion
of immense coal beds, is perfectly pr
Grille, and is entirely abandoned. All
the coal in the world would never az
ford fuel enough for single capital
exhibition of Vesuvius. We must
look higher than this; and | have little
doubt thai the whole rests on the ac-
ton of electric and galvanic principles,
which are constantly in operation in
the earth. We know that when cel-
tain metals are brought together, pow
erful electric action is developed, and
light is produced, superior even in
effulge nce TO the splendor of the sun.
Now, if a small arrangement produces
such results, wha: may we rot cxpec,
from the combinations of these i'm
mense beds of metal to be found in the
earth? Here we have a key to all the
grand phenomena of volcanic action. -
