TUE German Government is having
a deep shaft sunk near Schladebach,
with the object of obtaining various
kinds of scientific information, and
especially trustworthy data concera>
ing the rate of increase OF the earth's
temperature as we descend into the in>
terror. The excavation is being car
ried on by diamond-tipped borer
driven by water. So far back as the
beginning Of this year the shaft has
reached the depth of 1898 meters,
which is believed to be the lowest depth
yet reached by boring. The tempera-
ture at successive stages is ascertained
by an ingenious instrument which
serves as a special thermometer, the
principle Of construction being the
fact that as the heat increases the
mercury will expand so as to flow
over the lip of a sufficiently short
open tube in greater and greater
quantities. The measurement Of the
differences of these overAows will give
the rate of increase of the temperature.
1t has been ascertaiued that the tenn
perature at the depth OF 392 meters
was 49, centigrade or 12O' Fahrenheit.
If the temperature increases regularly
at this rate, the boiling point of water
ought to be reached at a depth of
5000 meters, and at rs lSilometers we
should find the heat at which plain
UNI melts This viii 60 TO show that.
the earth's crust can not be more than
one-ninetieth OF IFS radius.

MURDERED BY SLOW POISON
Death of Beautiful Young Lady

Fiape.

Death of a Beautiful Young Lady
Made the Victim of a Mock Mar
riage.
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Nov. 6 Miss
Sallie Newly, a beautiful young lady
of Spring City, died about two weeks
ago very mysteriously. The facts re-
gsraIng her death were suppressed,
and not until to-day did the truth
become known. On her dying bed
she told her secret to her family ply
siclsn under his premise to guard her
confession sacredly, but to day he was
prevailed UPON To disclose the ruth.
For some months past a young man
named Joe Hicks had been paying
devoted attentions to the young lady.
He persuaded her into a secret mar
riage, under pretense that his mother
would oppose the match. He In
weighed her into an adjoining couRty
and with the assistance OF a confeder-
ale had mock ceremony performed
About q month afterward he began
administering medicine, and the
Young girl gradually wasted away,
When it was too late she discovered
she had been murdered by slow poi>
son, and died IN commissions. The
person who accomplished her ruin has
fed.
