ATMOSPHERIC CHANGES. The causes Of
certain atmospheric phenomena have been dis
cussed by scientific French professor, who
maintains that these causes are internal TAX
ing it for granted that the central mass Of the
globe is fluid fire, it is urged that the vapor
theretrom, acting against the inner surface of
the earth crust by which it is enclosed, will,
by exciting powerful electrical currents, pro-
duce sudden changes above the surface he
maintains that another effect Of the Internal
pressure will be continual changes Of level on
the outer surface, so much so that, in his point
of view, there is no such thing as firm land -
