There Is complaint that the in

not specific enough-t that too many sub

There is now respectable evangel-

villages in the vicinity have evangelical
schools. The number of native Protest
ants in Galilee is from 500 to 600, and
there are as many children IN schools.
The Philadelphia Conference is the
largest contributor to the Methodist
mission funds, its total for 1874 being
$55,017. This great result is due to thor

---A favorite subject of speculation
among those devoted to the science of
geology has been the state of the interi-
or OF the earth, and the source of the
high temperature observed ut all consid-
cradle depths beneath it's surface. Prof.
Hopkins makes the interesting state
ment, IN this connection, that the terres-
trial temperature at q certain depth in
each locality-sbout eighty feet in En-
gland--remains constant during the
whole year, being sensibly unaffected by
the changing temperature of the seasons
The same, OF course, holds true at great
er depths; but the lower the descent,
the greater is this invariable tempera-
ture, the increase being proportional to
the depth and at the rate Of one deg. Fab.
for about every sixty or seventy feet.
Prot, Hopkins says that, assuming sr3h
rate of increase to continue to the depth
of fifty miles, q temperature would there
be reached about twice as great as that
necessary TO fuse iron, and sufficient, 1T
is supposed, to reduce nearly the whole
mass of the earth's solid crust to state
of fusion. From this Is derived the
opinion of many biologists that our
globe does really consist of solid shell,
not exceeding forty or fifty miles in
thickness, and an Interior fluid nucleus.
