The German Government is having
a deep shaft sunk near Schladebach,
with the object of obtaining various
kinds of scientific information, and es-
pecially trustworthy data concerning
the rate of increase of the earth's
temperature as we descend into
the interior The excavation
is being carried on by diamond
tipped borer driven by water SO far
back as the beginning of this year the
shaft had reached the depth of 1882
meters, which is believed to be the low
est depth yet reached by boring. The
temperature at successive stages is as
certained by an ingenious instrument
which serves as special thermometer,
the principle of construction being the
fact that as the heat increases the mer-
curry will expand so as to flow over the
lip of sufficiently short open tube in
greater and greater quantities. The
measurement of the differences of these
overfows will give the rate of increase
of the temperature. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that the temperature at the
depth of 1882 meters was 40 degrees
centigrade, 1870 degrees Fahrenheit
If the temperature increases regularly
at this rate, the boiling point of water
ought to be reached at depth of 5000
meters, and at rs kilometers we should
find the heat at which platinum melts.
This would go to show that the earth's
crust cannot be more than about one
ninetieth of its radius.

A Thousand Dollar Moth.

1t is by no means the most beautiful
or striking in color, for it is painted, as
You may say. in single color of gray
ish brown, though in many, many tints
of that color. It's form is the more
wonderful, for it's secondary or hinder
wings reach back into long tails an
eighth of an inch wide, and over four
inches long, so that the insect measures
about seven inches from head to tip of
tails, and between four and five inches
across. 1t is of the general shape of
what is known as our luna moth, the
large greenish, white-triled moth. but
i'll the luna the tails are only two inches
long. l do not think any other moth
or butterfly has so great eccentricity of
form. But the most wonderful thing
of all is that it is the only insect of the
kind ever found.
Thirteen years ago son of Prof.
Meyer caught it in barbershop in Rio
Janeiro, into which it had flown during
the evening. He sent it to his father,
who had been a collector for many
years. When the box containing it was
opened, and the great entomologist
dropped his eyes upon 1t, he almost
tainted with delight, and at once was
offered Slo0 for it.
The news Of the discovery Of it spread
rapidly everywhere among the collec-
tors, and diligent search has been made
ever since to find another Of its kind,
but in vain. 1t stands alone, perhaps
the last of an almost extinct species,
but surely the only one that rests in air
ON cntomologists pin. This fact that
it deiies duplication, together with its
kingly form, will help to remove the
shudder that passes over you as you hear
its name, Jehovah, for by this name the
princelv insect is known among scien-
stsEnddmonia deborah. 1t should
be stated, however, that its happy
owner did not intend giving it this
NINE, but somehow the real name,
Jupiter, was changed into Jehovah
when it was being catalogued, and 80 it
has remained.
II is hard to place value upon this
precious insect, for DIR. Meyer values
it almost IS his own life; but / have
been told IL ,090 would not induce him
to part with it. We can believe this
when we are told that kind OF beetle
found in the West was sold, for several
years, at 800 specimen. Prof. Mey-
er's entire collection is valued at
$40, coo. - Congreqationalist
