Whether there is any truth in the new
theory or not, we have no immediate
cause of alarm; for the process will not
advance enough to give the slightest
record in the short span of single life
time. According to the experiments of
Bschof, it will take nine million of years
for the earth TO cooldown fifteen degrees.
This loss is almost impcrceptible, as the
mineral heat adds only a thirtieth of d
degree TO the temperament Of the surface.
If this process is true Of the earth and
the moon, the same cause must produce
the same effects in the other planets and
satellites of the system. Even the great
sun himself must be subjected to the
laws which rule his suborlinates. There
fore, the time must come in the distant
ages of the hereafter, when the sun, plan
cts and moon, losing every vestige Of
heat, will have absorbed every drop Of
water in their thickened crust, and will
have imprisoned every particle of atmos-
phere in their huge assures.
The solar system, now so grandly
beautiful, will then be an assemblage Of
dead worlds, without ray Of light, with
out wave of heat, without drop Of
water, without breath of air floating
round in the immensity of space, bound
together by the law Of gravitation in the
embrace of death.
It is not pleasing speculation, if it is
philosophical one.

Again the boat was raised and mad,

Again the boat was raised and made
ready for action, and her owner, Captain
Hundley, took her for an experimental
trip into the Stone river, where, after
going through her usual evolutions, she
dived in deep water and for hours, and
for days, the return Of poor Hundley
and his crew was watched for and looked
for in vain. After near a weeks search
she was found inclining to an angle Of
forty degrees; her nozzle was driven
deep into the soft mud of the bottom.
Her crew of nine dead men were stand
ing, sitting, lying about in her hold
asphyxiated. Hundley was standing
dead at his post, candle in one hand,
while the other had grown stiff with
death in his main efforts to unclamp the
hatch. Others had been working at the
keys of the ballast, but the inclination
at which the boat had gone down had
jammed the keys so that the men could
not cast off the weight which held them
down. Their deaths had been hard and
lingering.
Again this fateful vessel was made
ready for action, and volunteers being
called for, Lieut.. Dixon, Twenty-frst
Alabama volunteers native Of Mobile,
and eight men, volunteered to take her
against the enemy. The new and power
ful war ship Housatonic was selected for
attack, and on a quiet night the bravest
crew set out from Charleston in this ter
rible, nameless torpedo boat, that ever
manned craft before. We all know the
fate of the Housatonic. Brave Dixon
guided the torpedo fairly against her,
the explosion tore up the great war
ships sides, so that she went down with
nearly all her crew within two minutes.
The torpedo vessel also disappeared for
ever from mortal view. Whether she
went down with her enemy, or whether
she drifted out to sea to bury her gallant
dead, was never known, and their fate
was left till the great day when the sea
shall give up its dead.
But within few weeks past divers in
submarine armor have visited the wreck
of the Housatonic, and they found the
little torpedo vessel lying by her huge
victim, and within her are the bones of
the most devoted and daring men who
ever went to war.

From the Providence Journal.l
The Maine journal of Education has
translated an article from the Cosmos,
in which Stanislaus Meunier gives some
curious speculations with regard to the
present physical condition of the moon.
His theory is, and has the support of EN-
inent astronomers, like Boer, Moedler
and Arago, that the moon is dead star
He draws this inference from singular
appearance upon the surface, which is
called "grooves" by the physicists. These
grooves have parallel sides nearly a mile
in width, and from ten to one hundred
and twenty-five miles in length. There
are already ninety of them, and it is
supposed that more are in process of
formation. Reasoning from analogy, we
must believe that at some period in the
past the moon had an atmosphere and
water, and also that on account of her
inferior size she cooled much quicker
than the earth. The water penetrating
the crust had been absorbed as the de-
crease of the internal heat increased the
thickness of the crust, until, long before
the cooling process had reached the CEN
ter the water had disappeared. The rock
then solidifying, as the heat supply di-
minished, contracted in o manner re-
sembling the appearance of basalt and
produced the grooves into which the at
mosphere settled. Hence comes the
chaotic appearance Of the moon, with
its immense mountains, volcanos and
craters. Some astronomers have de-
tected an appearance Of action in some
of the volcanoes but the general opinion
is that every vestige of physical life has
long since departed from the surface Of
our satellite.
These theories are all very well when
applied TO our distant neighbor, the
moon; but we cannot shut our eyes to
the startling fact that the earth is under
going a similar process Of transforma-
ton Geologists trace a close resem-
blance between the circles in the moon
and the circles Of granite and porphyry
upon the earth. They have also discoy-
cred evidence of fine qualification
among the lunar mountains, while the
volcanic formations bear a discerRible
analogy TO those Of Teneriffe and Palma.
According to the new theory, the fol-
lowing is the process slowly taking place
on the earth's surface; for she, like her
subordinate, is gradually cooling. 1t is
estimated that one-fftieth Of the original
ocean has been already absorbed, and
that when the crust Of the earth has be-
come one hundred miles in thickness
every drop Of water viii disappear Itis
also estimated that the earth could easily
absorb fifty oceans ike those which nov
cover a large portion Of the surface.
All the water at present on the earth
constitutes one twenty-four thousandth
part Of its weight, and once absorbed
would become iusensible to chemical
analysis. Thewater being absorbed. the
earth will crack open like the moon and
form similar grooves into which the
atmosphere viii settle. Long before this
era ali life viii have ceased

to be chronic this year anong State par

Of the State Republican Committee was
not an exception.
Ii seems that tie programme went

dare not make an amendment to strike
out all words from "AsD," bat get made
wry faces on their passage, and one nc
them was go bold as to say that although
he was "a Union man, he was always op.
posed to niger suffrage"
This bgoughtto to the aooT several Raj
ical" and .'ConTersatigc" Republicans in
turn, who ventilated a good deal Of 'tprin.
ciple" and "policy"-the latter being
begged for by those who" run with the
hounds" Some reported that in their
counties all parties were opposed to the
"Aboiilionisis," and that If the Recon
struction policy was endorsed, the party
was ruined 10 their quarter. Others d
the tFue-blue stamp demanded that all
present should "toe. the mark" or they
had no business there. This was ap
preaching TO point very nearly as hot
as the lato Democratic precedent. when
