APPLETON & CO.'S LATE PUBLlGA-
TONS.

Text Book Of Geology, for schools and
Colleges by H. AIIcYnc Nicholson Pro-
lessor OF Natural History and Botany
in University College, Toronto, ETC, etc.
This is Il neatly bound and come
rient text book on this most inter
esting science. The object OF the
work is to present to the learner the
leading principles and facts Of geo.
logical science in as brief a compass
compatible with clearness and accu-
racy. 1t brings the science down to
the latest date. the work having been
lust issued from the press. 1t is
profusely illustrated, and altogether
a.yaluable addition to the student.
I.xt Book of Zoology for schools and
~CpIlegeS-by the same author.
This is a continuation of a course
CT scientific text books and IS gotten
up in the same style with the work
On Geology. Considerable space is
devoted to the Invertebrate animals,
as we'll as Vertebrate. The princi-
ples of Geological classification
receives particular attention. The
style is clear and Ineligible. The
work is being introduced in many of
the leading educational institutions
Of this country, and is likely to su-
persede most elementary text books
on the subject.
Household Book OF Songs, for four
Voices, collected N arranged 10y
Francis c. Bowman and Charles y.
Dana
This is i work of 154 pages, con-
tanning most of the popular songs OF
the day, and many of an older period,
set to music. One valuable feature
IS the collection of National Songs
of all the leading nations. 1t opens
with the Russian National Hymn, fol.
lowed by the italian, French, Ger
man, etc., and finally with the "Stal
Spangled Banner" of America
These are succeeded by Songs OF
Sentiment, of Nature, of Devotion,
closing with Folk Songs.

element alone will be sufficient to
show that no mere appropriation"
in the State of Nevada is entitled to
water under the decisionin NanSickle
VS.. Haines. I'm analogy to the
statute (of limitations) no presump-
ton can arise against a party on the
ground of long enjoyment X
until it is shown that the privilege
in some a interfered with the
rights of the party whose grant is
proposed to be presumed" Silence
or acquiescence, where one is not
injured can never deprive
him of his rights on the ground of
presumption of grant" The en-
joyment must De contrary to
tie interests of the owner" 1.-The
time begins to run with the actual
injury-not before" The use must
be Injurious" "All persons having
lands on the margin ola stream have
by nature certain rights TO use the
water Of that stream whether they
/ exercise those rights or not and they
may begin to exercise them when
ever they viii < Itmatters not
how much the owner of land upon a
stream has actually used the water,
or whether he has used it at all, his
right to the use Of it remains unaf-
fected during any period of time. A
mere non-user of his right raises no
presumption against him"
Such is the law of the books, uni
~versally applicable wherever riparian
proprietorship prevails; and as the
law of riparian proprietorship has
been fully adopted by the Court, it
needs no argument to prove that all
rights of appropriation must perish,
and every irrigating ditch be closed
that the water may flow undiminished
to the mills below.
To illustrate this principle by an
actual case Cook. below the dam
of the Mexican mill, is a riparian
owner on the Carson river, having
acquired title prior to July %, 1866.
As such, under the decision, he is
entitled to use the water as it flows
for artificial purposes. He has not
vet built his mill or otherwise used.
or had occasion to use this right; con
sequently representation lies against
him. He having sustained no In
jury" his right to the 5 of the
water ''remains unaffected during any
periodic of time" The mere ''non-usel
raises no presumption against him.
SO that if tomorrow Cook saw
proper to construct a quartz mil
and call into use his riparian rights
he could do SO to the ruin of every
farmer in Douglas county and to the
destruction of the Mexican mill
which takes water out above and
below Cooks land.
Such is the pernicious and eneX
orable logic of this decision, from
which there is no escape but in re
~versal.

A Saratoga dispatch to the New York
Herald, of Saturday, says: 1.-THE great
four-mile race, to be run here during the
meeting which is to commence on the 10th
inst, promises to be one of great interest.
Notwithstanding the painful rumor that
Kingfisher has gone amiss, Longfellow
will have to contend with the best two
five-year-olds in America-Hembold and
Barney Williams-both distinguished win
ners at four miles. Hembold is well
known, but Barney Williams, having run
cnly in the West and South, is not SO gen
orally known in the North. After his vic
tory for the great Post Stake, four mile
heats, at st. Louis, a month ago, he came
here to try conclusions with the flyer.
Barney is chestnut, over sixteen hands
high, and a powerful animal. His sire
was the distinguished stallion Lexington,
and his dam the great race horse Vandal."

The Crust OF the Earth.

IF we bury thermometer fifty feet
below the surface Of the earth the
mercury will remain at the same point
tho year round, in winter and summer
showing that the influence Of the sun
does not reach below that depth. If
we carry the thcrmomotor fifty feet
lower, the mercury will rise one de-
gree, and will rise in the same ratio
for every fifty feet wo go down 1t
can be easily calculated at what depth
all known substances will melt This
would not exceed fifty miles. 1t will
bo thus seen that tho crust--or solid
part-of the earth is exceeding thin,
in proportion to the diameterj not 50
thick as au egg shell, in proportion to
the egg. With q crust so thin aud
constantly cooling, and producing a
pressure upon the internal masses, II
is not strange that the bed Of the
ocean should be elevated 10 single
day, and whole cities have been sunk
in the same space Of time. The side
ofa v,lcanoo mountain once broke
away, and the livid masses flowed out,
forming a river twelve miles wide
which, in its course, melted down 81,
