the repealed law is under discussion.

STRANGE YET TRUE.-If we bury ,
thermometer fifty feet below tho sur
face of the earth, the mercury will
remain at the same point tho year
round, in winter and in summer
showing that the influence Of the sun
does not reach below that depth. II
we carry tie thermometer fifty feet
lower, the mercury will rise one de.
gree, and will rise in tho came ratio
for every fifty feet We 20 down. II
can DO easily calculated at what depth
all known substances will melt. This
will not exceed fiily miles.
1t will thus be seen that the crust
or solid part Of tho earth is exceeding.
ly' thin, in proportion to the diameter ;
not so thick as an egg shell, in pro.
portion TO the size of tho egg. With
crust so thin, constantly cooling and
producing pressure nnnn tho io,er.
nal masses, IL is uUt strange that the
oeus OF oceans should DO elevated and
form dry land, and continents should
sink and form tho beds of oceans.
Large mountains have been elevated
in single day, and whole cities have
been sunk in the same space OF time.
The side Of u volcanic mountain once
broke away, and the livid masses
flowed out, forming river twelve
miles wide, which, in its course, melt
ed down six hills six hundred feet
high, filling up valleys six hundred
feet deep, and spreading over surface
of eleven hundred square miles.
