Scribner, each hemisphere is submerged
under the ocean; Its vegetation compressed
into coal beds; its whole surface covered
with marine deposits and sediment trans
ported and scattered by ocean currents; and
thus enriched. ut rises again after long
winter Pill ,0O0 yeaul to be renewed in life,
clothed with veee6hon and beauty to
becomeagain;t the cater Of acti -1ty through
q vast summer as long as its season of repose.
Sixty.hv coal beds in horizontal layers,
one above another have been opened in the
British islands, which makes it probable
that at least IS of these long years have
passed since vegetation grew upon the
EARTH" This wonderful change in the
oceans level is brought about, Mr.. Scrib-
ner argues, by q change in the earth's center
of gravity. and this again y caused by the
vast accumulation Of Ice around the pole of
the Hemisphere which is passing through
its long winter. ~" We have supposed this
center of gravity of the EARTH he says
ito be shifted southwark, by the cause
enumerated, about two miles or 10, 900 feet
This would increase the depth of water in
the Southern oceans 10. 600 feet and would
decrease the depth OF water in the Northern
oceans 10 600 feet, in order to keep their sur
faces equi-distant from the earth's center of
gravity, or upon q water level; but to in
crease the depth of tlle ocean in the South.
would be to submerge nearly all the lands
in the Southern hemisphere, and to in
crease the depth of the ocean by 10000 feet
north of the equator weuld result in drain
ing off vast continents in the Southern
hemisphere. This is the exact condition. of
things which the earth to-day presents"
Mr.. Scribner cites various facts which he
believes to be confrnatory of these views,
and finally sums up as follows: "First, the
North pole is toward the sun while the
earth passes slowly around the larger por-
ton of its orbit. Second, the South pole Is
toward the sun willis the earth moves more
rapidly around the shorter portion of its
orbit. Third, this gives to the Northern
hemisphere about four days more of warm
and four days less of cold weather than the
Southern hemisphere receives of each.
Fourth, this keeps the ice thinner and
with narrower limits at the North pole, and
produces vast accommodations of ice about
the South pole. Fifth, this changes the
center of gravity of the earth to the south
ward of its center of bulk. Sixth. this
causes the oceans to flow from the North,
draining off vast continents, to the South
ern hemisphere, and there submerglng
others of equal extent; and, lastly, extend
ing the limit of the banana, the v1ne, of
grain and of wood 500 miles farther north
than the same varieties are found south oil
the equator" All OF which, if not scientific
cally accurate, is at least an interesting con.
tribut1on on a most fascinating subject.

Night Scenes the Line of Egyptian
Railroad.
Hartford Post.1
The accounts of distress now existing in
the valley of the Nile, remind the writer of
scene he witnessed in the winter of 1866.
Starting from Cairo on trip up the Nile,
we stopped the first night opposite the
ruins of ancient Memphis, to which we
walked in the moonlight. We were sur
prised at seeing on the plain, mile or two
south of us, large gathering of people
bearing lights. Upon going to the spot we
ana children engaged in throwing up an
embankment tor the railroad which the
Khedive was building from Cairo to Thebes
by forced labor. No machinery or tools
whatever were used except baskets. These
the poor wretches were filing with their
hands. placing them upon their heads, and
slowly and YEARLY, except when accelerated
by the voice or lash OF the 0verseer, dragging
themselves up the embankment and dump
ing them at the end. The embankment
l judged, was about IL or Is feet
highar than the plain, and perhaps 40 feet
wide. The baskets of the men would con-
tain about three pecks of the light, dry, allu-
vial earth; those of the women about half
bushel, and the children perhapsa peck. This
was all forced labor-no pay whatever. The
khedive would send steamer up the river
to village, and call for from so to 200
people of all ages and sexes to go. without
pay, and work ON this railroad for one
month, at the end of winch time he would
send them, or what was left of them, back.

He was minister, and consequently

the cause of religion and not quite so much
to politics.
He said it could be made power for good

cast our fortunes.
He wss lover of the original, too, and
said he disIiked to see reprint, and thought
should write more--take the time, in fact,
to fill the paper right up with good new
stuff. 1t seemed such an easy thing for him,
