Burning Mountains.

Geological theorists assert that the
INEQUALITIES on the earth's surface
arise from uplifting of volcanoes,
earthquakes, etc, and TO these they
ascribe the inclination of strata, etc.
But the minute seams in sandstone
formation indicate that the whole is
the effect of dispositions and precipi-
tations, while in the submersions by
the sea, and the advance and retreat
during periheIion periods, we have
the aqueous agency required for the
precipitation.
About two hundred active volcanoes
are recorded, of which ninety-nine are
in islands. Submarine volcanoes often
throw up islands. The Azores, the
Llpari, the Canaries, etc, are exam
Piles. The ashes from volcanoes often
produce total darkness from thirty to
fifty miles around, and three hundred
miles distant. Pieces of rocks are
elected with the force of a cannon ball.
COtopaxi once threw a piece of one
hundredcub yards eight miles. Fish
elected from volcanoes are those Of
neighboring waters.
Lava is a stony substance, like ba-
salt, and may sometimes be seen at
the bottom of a crater red hot like
melted metal, bubbling as a fountain.
When it OverfiOws the crater, il is very
fluid. AtNesuvius, a red hot current
OF it was from eight to ten yards deep,
two OF three hundred yards broad, and
nearly a mile long. In Mexico, a
plain was filled up by it into a noun
tain u thousand six hundred feet
high, by an eruption in 1853. Its heat
was so great that it continued to
smoke for twenty years afterward, and
a piece Of wood took fire in lava three
years and a half after it had been
elected at five miles from the crater.
Stones of immense size were thrown
TO the hight of 1000 feet, and Others
~darkening the air, fell n hundred
miles distant.
T~hirty-One great eruptiOns Of Ktna
have occurred within the records of
history. In an eruption i'm 1888, the
city of Catalonia was overturned i'm &
moment, and eighteen thousand peO-
pie persisted in the ruins. The crater
of fHtna is a quarter Of a mile high on
plain three miles across The
is a mile in diameter, and
as an inverted cone, lined
with salt and sulphur. The central
fiery gulf varies in size, and noises
arise from it with volumes of smoke.
DOrville descended by ropes neal the
gulf. but was annoyed by fame and
5ulphurOus Cffiuvias. POmpeii was de-
strOyed by showers OF ashes, but Her
by hot mud, over which
six streams of lava have since aGcu-
mulated. They had recently been de
by an earthquake, and were
rebuilding. In the barracks of Pom
.eii were found the skeletons OF two
fastened by chains; and in
the vaults Of Il country house was a
cast of a woman with a child
her arms.

What SOrOsis is Not.

"Shirley Dare" wrote on the 9Th
inst. a letter Ia the New York Iri-
6tlHe, which We copy in full az follows:
SOrOsis Is not in the least danger Ofdis-
ruptiOn. None of its members are in
favor of committing the society to the
extremely advanced views of Mrs.
II. b. Stanton and Miss Anna Dickin-
son." but the reverse. SOrOsis desires
to hold itself alOOf from political
claims and discussion. The WOmen's
Parliament is neither more nor less
than a select convention of ladies of
talent, who meet By iRritntiOn to dis
cuss questions of social science which
properly interest their sex. No au-
thOrity is claimed Oh desired for it, eX-
cept such as Involuntary attaches to
the names of such women as Mrs.
Pierce, of Cambridge, author of the
papers on "CO-OperatiVe HOusekeep-
ing" in The atlantic, Mrs. Horace
Mann, the sister-in-law of Hawthorne,
and Miss Peabody, whose writings on
primary education are standards.
These ladies have signified their in
tention to be present at the Parlia-
ment and take part in it. Mrs. Pierce
will preside at the preliminary meet
ing. The subjects for discussion are
assigned TO different distinguished wO-
men, who will read papers on these
topics. The Parliament is not an open
convention where any one is at liber-
ty TO inhict any hobby on the audi
ence. 1t is no more than q parlOr
Conversations, where q few Well-in-
formed women of position and polite
culture will discuss the best methods
of treating young children, of ecOnOm-
ical housekeeping and hospital affairs
things which most intimately belong
TO wOman's sphere.
The ideas of SOrOsis on politics were
expressed at the last meeting by the
President, who declared, without as
sorting or denying the right of women
TO vote, that they were not ready by
education or business habits to work
with men, that they have enough at
present to do to fit them
selves for the position which
nobody questions is their own.
SOrOsis is neither a set of politicians
in p%etticOats, nor Of termagants i'm
long trains. ThesOciety earnestly de-
siFes that people shall keep its name
distinct from any political or fashion
able ambition. Ii is neither q Club of
fast women nor al electiOneering eau
Gus. itissO anxious to preservea repu-
tatiOn for discretion and w0manly de-
cOrum in all things that il will not
hesitate TO discard any disturbing
element with prOmptness, no matter
what it may lose in talent by doing
1t regrets that It's record should
be mlsinterpreted. To make wOmanly
woman is the highest aim of SOrOsis.
