THE EhRTH'S HEAT.
Does II Grow Constantly Hotter From the
circumference To the Center.

Goldthwaite's Geographical Magazine
Many scientific men are devoting their
lives to finding out all that can be learned
about the interior of this wonderful globe
of ours One of the interesting problems
ON which they are engaged is the depths
and geographical limits Of permanently
frozen soil The British association has
collected large amount of data ON this
question. They have already told us some
curious things such us the fact that excel,
lent wheat lands north of Manitoba over
lie frozen earth that never thaws.
Sometimes biologists iud strata of rocks
that they are able to show must have been
buried ut remote age 10000 feet under
the surface. These upturned edges of
rock, which some terrible CONFUSION lifted
to the mir, gives US glimpse of the con-
dition OF the interior some way below the
greatest depth of which we can attain.
The workmen in the deepest mines of
Europe swclteI in almost intolerable heat,
and yet they nave never penetrated over
Ia, 900 part of the distance from the sur.
face to the center of the earth. In the
lower levels of some of the ComstoCk mines

The deepest hoaring ever made, that at
Sperenberg, near Berlin, penetrates only
4 ,172 feet, about | 900 feet deeper than the
famous artcsian well ut st. Louis. There
suit of this imperfect knowledge is that
there are more theories and disputes
among scientific men with regard to the
interior of the earth than about any other
problems of physical science. Some emi'
nent physicians, for instance like Sir vii.
| liam Thompson, have believed that the
crust is only q to 80 miles thick. All
agree that II the temperature within the
earth continues to increase rs it does near

! Fahrenheit for every IS feet of descent
/ all igneouS rocks must be fused at no
/ great depth.
| In fact, Mt this rate of increase, the tenn
/ perature ut 200 miles is $4,000 deg. Fab
renheit, which is Prof Rosetu's estimate
/ of the probable temperature Of the sun.
/ 1t is improbable, however that this rate
/ of increase is maintained for n great dis
/ lance, and many PHYSICISTS believe that at
/ some unknown, but not very great. depth
/ the increase in temperature ceases. One
ST the most wonderful things in the study
of sciences is the art that the mysteries Of
one science are over knowledge CLEANED in
Fsome other department of study 1t is
/ thus that naturallSts who have investigate
ed the fauna and fora of scores of Pacific
islands have learned how far south Asiatic
types prevail, and have added great
weight to the conclusions of biologists
that these islands were once a part of the
continent north of them.

PARAGUAY Y.
Interesting Country but Little Known to
Am orleans

Anne orleans
The republic Of Paraguay has hitherto
been one of the least known of South
American states. Situated in the heart
Of the continent and communicating with
the sea only by the intermediate Of the
Panama river, it has remained a PARKWAY
country, forgotten, unyisited, unexplored
And yet in the old days its territory was
the center of all the operations of the
Europeans on the Atlantic coast Of Amer,
lea. During the early period of the
Spanish occupation the settlers found
hospitality in Paraguay sooner than on the
more accessible banks of the river Platte,
while its fertility, climate, and geographic
cal position recommend it to the Jesuits
for the establishment of their ''reduct
ions, and for the essay Of a system of
communism which gave admirable results
from the point of view of collective fell
city During two hundred years
the settlements &C the Jesuites pros
pered In l764 the order was ex
PEELED; when the architects left it, the
communistic ediice, within whose pleas
ant precincts the native Gu2mni popula-
ton had learned the elements of a simple
and almost idylliC civilization fell into
quickly declined. In the beginning of
the present century, when the independent
movement deprived the crown of Spain of
its American colonies, Paraguay did not
join IN the generous and cooperative
work of liberty, but shut itself up within
its frontiers, trusting to its wealth, and
wishing to owe nothing to its neighbors.
This policy was that sof the dictator
Froncia and of his successors, Lopez, |.
and Lopae H.. whose despotic rule from
the beginning OF the century to 1870 was
virtually a continuation of the Jesuit sys-
temot the state communism, minus the
religious and reCreatve elements. Critics
who persist in considering universal suf
ferage to be the lase word of political
science have severely condemned these des
pots. The fact, however, remains that
under their rule Paraguay reached high
degree of wealth and material well-being,
and threatened to assume supremacy
which alarmed its neiahbors. The result
of this uneasiness and jealousy was the
war of the triple alliance of Brazil, Uru
quay and the Argentine against Para
quay, which begun IN 1854 and lasted FIVE
years, ending in the ruin of the latter
country, and the almost complete anninila-
| ton of the young and adult male popula-
ton, and leaving in the land none but
women and aged men. Or the riches and
prosperity Of Paraguay there remained no

couquerors had onl y to divide the spoils

want Of men, they could fight no longer, a

THE HON e.
GRAVES.

GRAVES.
The word gravy is not synonymous with
grease, though from the compound often
served as gravy one might judge 1t to be. Yet
tits an easy matter to make great variety
of food gravies and there is no excuse for
the grease, or watery fluid, or grayish pud-
ding-like mixtures served under this name.
In effect, gravy Is something like soup; 1t
does not take the place of meat, but renders
a smaller quantity of meat necessary.
The French cooks owe much Of their repu-
tation to the savory gravies or sauces which
they serve with all sorts of dishes; while the
American idea of gravy seems to be the
liquid fat which is extracted from sausage or
pork during the process of frying.
The origin of the word gravy seems to be
hazy-probably from an Ango-Saxon root
akin to that from which grease is derived.
One might think is was connected with the
Latin gravis. heavy, since in the old-fash-
Toned roasting before an open fire, the gravy
was obtained by placing pan beneath to
to catch the dripping and the meat juice set
tied under the fat.
The ideal gravy is a combination of meat
Juices and fat with some thickening and sea-
soning. A good proportion Is one table,
spoonful of fat and an equal quantity OF
flour to one cup of liquid. In GRAVES for
roast meats allowance must be made for the
great evaporation of water and consequent
condensed state of the meat juice, and more
water be added; in those to accompany
boiled meats, it Is often best to let the broth
evaporate for some time. The gravy may be
| thickened in two ways,-the flour may be
| mixed with very little cold water until no
| Jumps remain, then mixed with little Of
| the hot liquid and then stirred into the re-
mainder. This is the usual method In the
| real gravies when we have hot liquids and
| fat together.
The reason for cooking the butter or other
| fat and flour together is that fat heated
| reaches higher temperature than water or
milk and therefore the starch grains are
n ore thoroughly and quickly burst. Nor is
| it necessary to raise the TAT TO so high point
| that it Is made indigestible.
| Rrowned gravies may be made in this
manner. allowing the flour and fat to brown
together; but these would not agree with all

| gravy from roast is the most healthful and
nutritious, though varying with different
| meats.
for the evaporation and cooling of gravy
which inevitably comes between the making
| and the serving, and renders the mixture
| much thicker than when 1t leaves her hands.
Nothing is more disagreeable than thick
gravy, not even one that Is too watery.
| When there is no other foundation, soup
I stock may be used, ana the seasoning varied
on different occasions.
| Instead of mingling two many flavors, it Is
| mnch better to distribute them-tOday using
a tIny slice of onion minced fine, tomorrow a
few spoonfuls of strained tomato, another
day a pint of sweet herbs. and thus gain the
desired variety.-Boston Traveller.
