BY series Of experiments Mr.. Robert
Hunt has succeeded in proving that the
heat of the earth does not continue in
creasing IN proportion to depth. Down
to 100 fathons it certainly does SO to the
extent of one degree for every fifty feet.
But in the second 100 feet this falls to
one degree in seventy feet, and in the
third 100 feet one degree in eighty-five
feet. 1t follows that since great depths
do not necessarily involve excessively
high temperature coal-working can be
carried on below the level previously
considered possible. This is practically
proved at Chaleroi, in Belgium, where
Goals are mined without any difficulty at
the depth of 1900 feet, or about three
quarters of a mile. By including the
quantity remaining in the English coal
fields down to that level the supply would
probably be sufficient to last for another
thousand years, even at the present rate
Of consumption. But it is quite possible
that before long considerable saving will
result from more economical methods Of
burning fuel. The quantity OF Goals re-
quired to produce ton of pig-iron fell
to 81 cwt. in 1872 from 60 cwt. in 1871,
which implied saving Of 9 cwt. per ton
on total production of nearly seven
million tons.
THERE is house in Barnstead, N. H.,
unoccupied, having chimney in the
center. The house is twenty-five by
thirty feet. The chimney is built SO as
to support the sills and beams. The
frost has got into the cellar and frozen
under the chimney and raised it up sew

the ground, except some nine feet where
