The CRUST OF THE EARTH. If we bury
Il thermometer fifty feet below The sur.
face Of the earth, the mercury will re-
main ut the same point the year round, in
winter and in summer, showing that the
influence of The sun does not reach below
that depth. If we carry the thermome.
ter fifty feet lower, the mercury will rise
one degree, and will rise in the same
ratio fol every fifty feet I've 20 down. 1t
can be easily calculated at what depth all
known substances will melt. This would
not exceed fifty miles. 1t will thus be
seen that the crust or solid part of the
earth is exceedingly thin, in proportion
to the diameter; not SO thick rs an egg
shell, in proportion 10 the size Of the egg.
With crust so thin. constantly cooling,
and producing pressure upon the inter-
nal masses, it is not strange that the bed
OF oceans should be elevated in single
day, and whole cities have been sunk in
the same space Of time. The side of a
volcanic mountain once bloke away, and
the livid masses flowed out, forming a
river twelve miles wide, which in its
course, melted down six hills 900 leet
high. filling up valleys 600 feet deep. and
spreading over surface OF LOO square
miles.

give al outline of the experiment.
1t has always been difficult to cause
the healing of wounds where any large
surface of skin was gone, rs nothing but
skin will produce new skin and this only

round the margin. Hence in making
amputatons it has always been consider
ed necessary to preserve flap of skin

in order to form covering OF skin and II
good "slump." But in Gardner's case
the patient was too weak 10 admit OF
amputaton and it was question of life
or death to save the ankle joint and to
form skin covering for the crushed and
mangled stump.
This was done by a wonderful process.
viz: by transplanting or grating on the
wounded part from time to time small
portion of the skin from another part of
the body Pieces Of skin not so large
as 4 grain OF wheat were taken from the
patients arm aud grated on the lacera
