Among the problems of high science which the
Doctor presents in it, is the startling assertion
that the friction of the lies upon its surface,
retards the carth's revolution upon its axis, or
holds it back with a force of 6000 millions oil
horse powers Hence it is easy to see that with
out some counter force, the globe must rotate
gsowcr and slower, until its revolutions wholly
cease. Then with perpetual night on one side,
and a degree of cold far below any now known,
we should have on the other ''(ervent heat
from the sum- which would melt the rocks aud
make the mountains run like water. But we
need feel no alarm. He shows a counter poise
which nearly balances this resistance, and will
maintain substantially, the present mundane
condition. through ages upon ages yet to come.

use of the word prOuen, in place of proved
the regular past participle of the verb t.
prone. --srs
There is no such word in English. 1t /:
merely an old-time barbarism OF the Scotch
law dialect. In certain criminal cases the ju
ries in Scotland are allowed to bring in the
ambiguous verdict of not prouen when they
are not willing to convict and yet are unable
to acquit the prisoner There is no other use,
8 however of this word in the language. Web
sters dictionary gives the word and its use,
, and marks it as a 'Scotticism' Worcester's

then gives two examples where it is employ
' ed in wrting--one from DIR. Chalmers, a
Scotchman, and the other from Philip j. Bal
ley, the author of "Festus," who was educated
at Glasgow.
Some writer in an American newspaper a
few years ago, made witty use of the Scotch
law term Not proven" and the word was
soon caught up by other writers for the news
papers. From thence it passed to the stump
speakers, and so into Congress. And now we
