Theoi y or Volcanoes.

The well known Dr. Danbey, Of London, one Of
the most eminent chemists Of the day, has revived
the theory first started by Sir Humphrey Davy, but
subsequently abandoned, in favor of earthquakes
having chemical origin. The usual way Of ex-
planning these commissions Of nature is by referring
their origin to the supposed internal fires Of the
globe The crust Of the earth over these fires, 1t is
commended, gradually cools. As II coos, II cracks,
and the cracks lead to earthquakes.
DR.. Danbey, however, argues that, IL earthquakes
had this origin, these effects would be moro extern
syely felt; that their dire results would extend TO
continents, and not be confided to local limits, as
they generally are, His theory supposes that earth
qunkes the result Of volcanic action and that vol.
canc action Is the result of process Of internal
idailon, which goes on when the oxygen contained
in air water finds its way from the surface to the
unoSidzed material Of the earth. Without entering
into the details Of chemistry this principle Is obvious
enough,
We Incline to think, however, that this theory oil
chemical action will not explain the origin of oil
earthquakes AT least, there have been many earth.
quakes for which the old theory would account quite
as well. May II not be, that, while some earth
qnakes are the result Of chemical action merely 9th
ers have different origin, and arise, as formerly
supposed, from the cooling OF the earlh's crust1-

We often hear the complaint that butter
made in winter, is poor. Ours was SO for
several seasons. Il was very slow in COM

COW, afterwards setting it in either a cold
or warm place as most convenient. mean
communicated as much heat to my milk,
to destroy the effect which frosty feed in
autumn or dry feed in winter had upon it.
Since which time we have made, with fil-
teen minutes churning, purer, sweeter, and
more yellow butter than we ever made in
summer and sometimes from the frozen
cream gradually warmed. And were it not
that the increase Of manufactures, the pur-
suit Of fashion, and other causes combined,
render helping hands very scarce, should
be at the trouble ofscalding milk before set
ting il during the summer, as well as in
winter for surely butter made in this way
possesses delicious richness and dryness
which cannot be found in any other.
