Is This World to be Blown up 2

Mr.. I.oomis of New Haven considers
the earth very unsafe place to stay on
any longer, from the fact that the late vol
canio manifestations have been So general
In their character that there is no longer
any doubt about the theory that all volca-
noes have not u local but u general and
common origin, in the central liquid parts
of our globe, where the most intense heat
prevails. In comparison 10 this interior
liquid mass the crust on which we live is
exceedingly thin.
Prof. Loomis thinks that il is proved
now that these eruptions aro caused by
water getting into the central fire. where,
after being converted into steam by the
help, IL cNerts u most enormous pressure
upon the earth's crust, upheaving. shak-
ing. bursting II open. eiecting the interior
liquid mass which we call lava, etc. He
thinks there is now great danger of n part
of the water in the ocean getting through
the crust into the central fire, and having
been changed into steam, ut any moment
blowing the whole hall 10 pieces. In fact
he compares our earth 10 huge boiler
under extra pressure. ..
The fate in store for us poor mortals is,
in accordance with the learned professor.
the same rs that which bcfell the inhabi-
tants of the planet onco existing between
Mars and Jupiter. This planet. about
fifty times larger than the earth, was from
such causc. il is thought, blown into sew
eral hundred pieces; Of these ninety-scv-
en- have been discovered by astronomers;
they are called asteroids. The smaller
ones are thus far lost TO us.
