CENTRAL HEAT OF THE EARTH.-The rate
OF increase of heat is equal to one degree
OF Fahrenheit for every fcrty.five feet of
descent. Looking at the result Of such n
rate OF increase, it is easy to see that a.
seven thousand two hundred and ninety
feet from the surface, the Eeat will reach
two hundred and twelve degrees-tbe boil
ing point of water. At twenty-five thou
sand and five hundred feet it will melt lead :;
at seven miles it will maintain a glowing
red heat; at twenty one miles melt gold
at seventy four miles, cast iron at ninety
seven miles, softer iron and at one hund>
red miles from the surface, all will be fluid
as water-a mass of seething and boiling
rock IN perpetual molten state, doomed
possibly never to be cooled or crystalized.
The heat here will exceed any with which
man is acquainted; it will exceed the heat
OF the electric spark. or the effect of con-
tinued volcanic current The heat which
melts platina az if it were wax, is as ice to
1t. Cond we yisnally observe its effects.
our intellect would afford no means Of
measuring its intensity. Here is the re-
gion of perpetual fire, the source of earth>
