The Master Thief.

The legend of the Master Thief is no
less remarkable THAI that Of Punchlin.
In the scandinavian tale the tibet,
wishing to get possession Of the farmer
OK, carefully hangs himself to tree by
the roadside. The .armer, passing by
with his OK. is, indeed, struck by the
sight of the dangling body, but thinks
it none of his business and does not
stop to interfere. No sooner has he
passed than the thief lets himself
down, and, running swiftly along by
path, hangs himself with equal precau-
ton so a second tree. This time the
farmer is astonished and puzzled but
when for the third time he meets the
same lmwonted spectacle, thinking that
three suicides in one morning are too
much for easy credence, I've leaves his
OK and runs back to see whether the
other TWO bodies are really where he
thought he saw them. While he is
framing hypothesis of witchcraft, by
which TO explain the phenomena, the
thief gets away with the OK. In the
Hitopadesa the story receives finer
point: "A Brahmin, who had vowed a
sacl ificer went to tie market to buy a
goat. Three thieves saw him, and
wanted TO get hold of the goat. They
stationed themselves at intervals on the
high road. When the Rrahmin, who
carried the goat on his back, approached
the first thief, the thief said, Brahmin,
why do you carry dog ON your back p
The Brahmin replied, 1t is not dog
! it is a goat A little while after he was
accosted by the second thief, who said,
Brahim, why do you carry dog ON
your back p The Brahmin felt per
picked, put the goat down, examined it
and walked on. Soon after he was
stopped by the third thief, who said
Brahmin, why do you carry dog on
your backY Then the Brahmin was
frightened. threw down the goat, and
walked home to perform his additions
for having touched an unclean animal.
The thieves took the goat and ate it

for hundred years about the possession

The Interior of the Earth.

The greatest depth of the earth hith-
erto attained by mans explorations has
not reached more than one mile from
the surface. When,as Prof Forbes states,
it is remembered "that the diameter
of the earth is 1900 miles, the dis
proportion of our studies between the
surface and the interior of our planet is
evident. We have traversed every sea
from pole to pole the desert, the prai-
RE, the great forest, and inland river
founts have alike been explored.
All the sciences prove with what ardor
we have studied things of the earth's
surface, and thence directed our atten-
tion to distant planets to study them !;
yet of our own planet no attempt has
been made beyond one mile down.
What, however, we have learned from
this descent is astonishing. We have
discovered that the earth is not a solid
substance on the contrary, it has Il
fluid interior, and only the crust is So
lid, and relatively not so thick in pro-
portion as hens egg. 1t is found that
for every hundred feet of descent there
is a rise of temperature Of two degrees
fahrenheit. This Is at the rate OF III
degrees fahrenheit for every mile. At
twenty-five miles deep Ne should have
temperature OF 5000 degrees fahren-
heit, which is sufficient TO melt iron.
and the lava which we see elected by
volcanoes. Now, without verifying the
experiment, the existence Of volcanoes
in different parts of the world, the per-
petual springs of boiling water in Ice
land, and of warm water in England, at
Bath and Matlock, clearly prove the ex-
istence Of subterranean heat.
Fortunately, experiments of a differ
ent character from those of descending
into the earth substantiate the fact Of
interior fluidty. If iron, granite rock
and gold were mixed Unfortunately
and melted, they would be found to
form three strata-the gold at the bot
tom, the iron next, and the granite at
the top. Now it has long been known
to astronomers that the earth, as a
whole, is much heavier than the rocks
which represent it on the surface con-
sequently the calculation convinces
them that the lower strata are heavier
by far than the surface. This difference
is such as to show that the total weight
of the earth is as near as possible five
and half times the weight of a similar
globe of water, and certainly twice as
much as globe formed of the rocks
with which we are familiar.
What, then, we must deduce from
the facts already ascertained is this, that
the crust of the eal tn is shell, inclos-
ing molten matter, which probably lies
in strata according to their weight, the
heavier being below and the lighter
above. 1t will naturally be asked, how
is it that we find the heaviest known
materials, gold and platinum, compare
lively near the surface? The answer is,
that there are cracks and assures in the
earth's shell, through which these sub
stances have spun by centripetal force,
and are now water worn and ground
into the nuggets as they are found.
In little time the Geological Society
will no doubt form committee, and
eXpend some Of its funds to explore the
interior Of the earth-at least as far as
its internal fire will allow them to pene.
