Scientific men teach that the materials
OF our globe were once in red-hot molten
state and that the interior of the earth is
now fluid mass of fiery matter. The
globes crust is computed to be only sixty
miles in thickness. Those who teach the
hypothesis ofthe center ofthe earth being
a mass of liquid fire, base their opinions
upon the existence of volcanoes, hot springs
etc. The editor Of the Srienf.fc Americas
in a recent number ol that Journal. combats
this theory and offers some very good ar
gumenis in opposition. He says
.There is no positive evidence that this
earth was ever in molten state, or that
| it's central part is now mass OF ire. Inc
granite rocks do not exhibit the marks of
/ fire. Ii this earth had been once molten
| mass. there would be homogeneous Stag,
composed OF all the known metals and MN
] erals. but such is not their ccmposi'ion,
There il also no positive evidence that
the y alter in thermal springs is heated by an
/ internal fire in the earth, or that mines,
/ from HE same cause, become warmer as
/ thew Increase in depth, TIE practical sei-
4
| peratare Of mines to the decomposition OF
minerals therein, The copper mines are
hotter than the lead mines. and the former
mines become cooler as the ore disminlsh-
es, although they may be increasing IN
depth. The waters of certain mines once
hot have become cool as the ore diminished
and the shafts descended. Water flowing
| through mines Containing iron and copper
pyrites, must produce decomposition, and
~caerQte great heat; this is proof against
/ the internal heat Of the earth being the cause
| Of he, water springs and heat in mines.
Tue Temperature OF mines varies accord
ing tothe description olroek.passed through.
This We End stated in a paper recently read
before the Society Of Arts in London BY A.
Maskworth, and Published in the Lonaon
Mining journal. In slate at 81 fathems
from the sur ace, the heat was 81 dogs Fab;
| in granite 81 degs.6 Fah.--a difference OF
more than degrees. At zoo fathoms, in
| slate, the temperature was SIS degs. 6 Fab.
| in granite, 81 degs 3 Fab. We can easily
accountfor mines becoming hotter gradually
| as We descend, by the superin cumbent
| pressure of the atmosphere, and defective
circulation, just as the atmosphere becomes
/ cold as the pressure diminishes on ascend-
ing high elevations.
| As we find it stated in the Biblioiised
Sacra that Prof. Guyot OF Cambr,dge intends
to publish an exposition of the Creation OF
the Universe. upon the basis OF the Hebalar
agpoflesis, embracing the internal fire theory
as part of it. we hope he will weigh well
the arguments of practical geology against
his views. We have great confidence in
| his verify; but the best and abIest of men
want of being able to obtain the whole
truth. As this question Is nos engaging a
large share Of attention from scientific and
| religious men, we have presented some OBJ
| jections 10 the internal heat theory which
We believe cannot be easily answered.
Such Arguments can be multiplied, but We
do net deem this necessary at present.

upon he refused TO continue, aud insisted on
pistols. The seconds, DESTROYS to prevent

consequence of which was, that Concha
was wounded in the hand by his own weap-
on. Orense, raising his pistol perpendcu.
