THE Iavorte theory OF biologists, that
this globe on which we live is In It's int.
rior u mass Of molten rock covered with A
comparatively thin crust OF solid matter,
has been seriously called in question by
some recent speCulAtions. The thickness
Tor thinhess) heretofore assigned TO the
bs0lid crust has been estimated nj flNy
miles, the computation being based upon
the increasing temperature shown IN
mines accordingio the depth they were
sunk below the suriace. II being found,
for example, that Mt the depth of oncmile
the heat reaches certain number Of de-.
grees, ithas been concluded that II would
continue to increase toward the centre,
until, at q depth Of fly miles, II would be
sufficient to meltrock. But II Ia now sup.
gested that crust Of but fifty miles thick
ness, however hard, would, considering
the immense diameter of the earth, be as
elastic as a soap bubble, while the interior
fluid mass would be subject to tides like
the ocean. The result would he that we
should have regular earthquakes twice n
day all over the earth without exception.
This not being our experience, the theory
Of the Rtty mile crust must he given up
as untenablc, and some other explanation
Of the origin Of volcanoes md earthquakes

it looks very easy of ascent and its position on
the lake of Lucerne is so attractive that all who

The charges of hard and cruel tyranny made
against Captain A. A. Semmes, commander OF
the United States ship Portsmouth, are simply
horrible One cannot but hope there is some ex
aggeratlon in them, but some of them describe
such original and iiendish ingenuity Of torture,
and are told with such appearance of truthful
ness, that we are forced to believe they have
substantial foundation. One act of monstrous
cruelty told OF him is that, as a punishment for
slight breach Of discipline, he ordered one OF
the seamen Of the Portsmouth to be crsmmed

days, being fed through hole in the box.

otheer, whose ingenuity in devising and
heartlessness in putting them into execu.

little to say that, il half the charges against this
man are true, be is disgrace to the service. He

Alexis still delays, and the hope of his COM
ing, so long deferred, makes sick the hearts OF
those who have waited for him with gradually
failing patience Not only the young ladies,

dying for the opportunity to dance with rea
prince and to firt with the titled members Of
his suite, and the more mature but no less fash

preparing themseles by dilligent study to per-

due observance of the requirements of etiquette,

that the ladies belonging TO what passes in New
