Sinking of The Earth's Crust.


The extreme sensitiveness of the earth's
crust to any changes in the distribution of
weight upon its surface is, however. best
eXemplified by those local deDOsitiOns
and removals Of matter which haye At
tracted more general attention at the pre-
sent day. The chief Of these is the trans
fer Of matter by river action to large
tracts, and its accumulation in such
limited areas as plains, estuaries, and
deltas. Behring'S of 400 to 500 feet have
shown that these often consist Of long sue
cesslons of suits, which alternating layers
OF smells and OF vegetable matter prove to
have been deposited at or near the sea-
level. and the Wealded and eOcene torma-
lions In the British area show that such
accumulations may exceed 1000 feet in
thickness. In the case of deltas subsi-
dence must keep pace almost foot by foot
with the accumulation, and be confined
to the area over which the sediment is be-
ing deposited. for any more rapid subsi-
dence would check its growth and convert
1t into an estuary. This sinking is appar-
emily OF universal occurrence 4 similar
instance of the transfer of weight from ron.
larger areas and its precipitation on a
very circumscribed area is seen in coral
atOlls and reefs. The explanation of their
formation given by Darwin requires a
gradual subsistence keeping pace with
their growth, which takes place within 20
fathOms of the surface only. This theory,
simple and admirable as it is, accounting
satisfactorily for all the observed phenom-
ena of coral growth, has been contested bv
Mr.. Murray, who has shown that atolls
might be merely incrUstatiOns of volcanic
'o,eaks. But his theory seems ir'5o roi,abia
uy contrast, for it demands 300 Volcanic
peaks at the sea-leyel in the Pacific coral
area alone, every foot of which has been
completely concealed by coral growth,
though few volcanic craters are known
so near the sea-level outside this area.
We seem thus to have in coral grOWths
another evidence of subsistence keeping
pace with the increase of weight, some
times, as soundings prove, to depth Of
1000 feet or more. The replacement Of a
column of sea water 100 fathOms in depth,
by a column of limestone, would increase
the pressure per fathOm from 61915 tons to
LAST tons, so that it is easy to realize how
vast must be the increased pressure on
such an area as that occupied by the great
reef of Australia, l $50 miles and 10 to 80
miles broad. The sands, gravels, and
ciays, with marine shells and cratic
boulders, prove that great submergence
took place during the glacial period,
while Europe was under an ice-sheet 5000
feet thick in Norway and diminishing to
1900 in Central Germany. The extent of
the submergence has been perhaps under
stated at 600 feet in Scandinavia, and was
at least 1850 feet in Wales. 4 cores
pondIng re-elevatiOn accompanied the dis
appearance of the ice. 1t has often been
supposed that the sinking of the west
coast of Greenland is similarly due to its
ice-cap.

MAY JEWS EAT PORK?
A Distinguished Rabb, Declares that the
dietary Laws are Not Binding.
Philadelphia Record

Philadelphia Record.
DR., Isaac MAYER Wise, who is at the
head of the great Jewish college at Gin
ciunati, has caused some thing of a sensa-
ton among the Jews of the East, and
especially those of Philadelphia. by pro-
Mitigating the bold theological conviction
that the Hebrew dietary laws are not alb
solutely binding, and that the only flesh
prohibited is that of an animal set upon
and killed by a ferocious beast of prey. A
reporter last night asked DR.. NJ. JastrOw,
Rabbi Of the Synagogue ROdef Shalom, at
Broad and Mount Vernon streets, for his
opinion of DIR. Wise's views. II think !"
said he, "that they are very wild, and
cannot be sustained The idea that the
Jewish ceremonial laws having been in
stituted and imposed for purpose which
has now been accomplished are no longer
obligatory has been advanced by those
who call themselves 'refOrmers" in the
Jewish Church before DR.. Wise's declara-
ton of this new theology. Such views
Such views have, however, found very
little cOuntenance, and have by no means
made any serious impression. l see, to
quote from an article on DIR. Wise, that
he, however, draws a distinction between
the Law of the Covenant and the rest OF
the Mosaic legislation and because the
Ten Commandments and the three chap
tiers in Exodus Immediately following the
DecalOgue, and comprising important
ordinances Of varied character, are sill
ent about the manner of Strengthening an
animal allowed to Jews for food there il
no binding in the dietry laws at all. This
is not strong argument. The Debalogue
and the Commandments in Exodus XXI
xxi and xiii, are the foundations of the
Jewish religion, not the religion itself
As well might you say that that upon
which a house is built is the house itself
But l hardly regard Or. Wise's influence
in these matters of sufficient importance
to be made the subject Of much contro
versy. He is scholar, but he is erratic.'
Another very high Jewish authority il

A Minister'S Experience With Choirs

Century FER February,
Is art a 'EserYice?v Does the exercise
of it in divine worship partake of the
spirit Of the inspired counsel, ''WhOmsO-
ever will be chief among you, let him be
your servant~ This thrusting forward
of personality of display does not look
like it. Once our alto asked me, as l was
entering the pulpit. whether l had any OBJ
iections to changing the closing hymn, for
she was expecting some friends that even
ing, and they could not come till late, and
she wanted to sing a solo. And once, at
a weekday funeral, our tenor crowded
me even to my embarrassment with re-
quest that he might be permitted to pre-
cede the arrival of the train of mOurners
with a vocal piece in the gallery, for he
had lust heard that two members of the
music-committee of another congregation
would be present, and he wished them to
hear him, as he desired to secure the place
of conductor there.
CARTS a service, mark" But does it
take the place of the rest of the service
also? This entire discussion turns at once
upon the answer to the question whether
the choir, the organ, the tune-boOk, and
the blower are for the sake OF helping
Gods people worship Him, or whether the
public assemblies Of Christians are for the
sake of an artistic regalement of listeners,
the personal exhibition of musicians, or
the advertisement OF professional sOloistS
who are competing for salary.
In our travels, some of us have seen the
old organ in a remote village Of Germany
on the case of which are carved in the
ruggedness of Teutonic characters three
notices. If they could he rendered from
their terse poetry into English they would
do valiant service in our times for all the
singers and players together. Across the
top Of the keyboard is this; Chou play

elevate the heart, should be simple, earn

HEIFERS FROM THE BEST
MIXERS

We think all the best daIrymen
raising their own COWS to supply
are agreed in regard to the raising
additions to their herds. Very few
have ever selected q valuable herd
wholly by purchase. 1t has been
said that if total depravity can ever
be alleged against a farmer 1t will
be found in his representations on
the sale of COWS. We have often
enumerated the important points
in favor Of selecting the helter
calves from the best mixers, both
for quantity and quality. If the
dairyman gives no heed to thispolnt
he will perpetuate his worthless
COWS with his good ones, and thus
never improve his dairy herd. A
large majority of dairymen have
COWS in their herds that do not pay
their keeping, and as they do not
apply 4 test to the individual COWS
they continue not only to keep
them. but to breed from them. This
is the most suicidal policy. AL
though we strongly recommend
dairy to raise their own COWS, we
are far from advising them to per-
petuate their poor COWS. 1t would
be even better policy to give them
away to 4 favorite brother-ln-law.
The heifer calves from only the best
COWS should be raised and the
wedding out should 60 on still fur
ther. When these heifers come
into milk those that do not come
up to the proper standard should be
discarded. A careful test should
always be made of each COW in the
herd and of each heifer during her
first period of milking. If the heif-
er has the appearance of a we'll
formed mixer and Of having had a
good dam, 1t may not be judicious
to pass upon her during the first
milking season, if her quality is be-
low the standard. for the next sea-
son may develop her satisfactorily.
