MARCH WEATHER IN 1S91.-March has been a
degree and half cooler, day by day, than the
average month of March during the last 20
years. The second day of the month, with
morning temperature of II degrees, was the
coolest day of the winter. The warmest day in
the month, the 23d, gave an afternoon tempera-
ture of 81 degrees. Morning observations aver
aged one degree below freezing the month
through; yet owing to the excessive wet very
little ice was gathered during the month.
March has been but once in twenty years
so wet. In 1876 March gave SIS inches, the
past month gave TAI inches. This with the
precipitation of January and February, adds
10 55 inches, which for any three consecutive
winter months quite surpasses the record. On
the third and fourth of the month there fell
about inches Of snow on the 9th and 2Sth,
with high east and northeast wind, about Z
inches fell, saturated snow, which melted
gave 1.s0 inches. The past winter has been
very like that of 1SS990, but slightly colder.
The Novembers differed but the fraction of a de-
gree; December, this winter, was II degrees
colder; January only one degree lower mean ;
February cooler by little less than degrees,
as also March by about degrees. This close
following is remarkable.

The Earth,s Center.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Neny scientific
men are devoting their lives to finding
out all that can be learned about the in
terror of this wonderful globe of ours.
One of the interesting problems on
which they are engaged is the depths
and geological limits of the permanently
frozen soil. The British association has
collected o large amount of data on this
question. It has already told us some
curious things, such as the fact that ex
cellent wheat lands north Of Manitoba
overlie frozen earth that never thaws.
The workmen in the deepest mines in
Europe swelter in almost intolerable
heat, and yet they have never pene-
trated over ~one.seventh thousandth part
of the distance from the surface to the
center of the earth. In the lower levels
of some of the Comstock mines the men
fought scalding water and could labor
only three or four hours at a time, until
the Sutro tunnel pierced the minesnnd
drew off some of the terrible heat, which
had been 100 degrees.
The deepest boring ever made-that
at Sperenburg, near Berlin, penetrates
only 4,172 feet, about 1000 feet deeper
than the famous artesian we'll at st.
Louis. The result of this imperfect
knowledge is that there are more the
cries and disputes among scientific men
with regard to the interior of the earth
than about any other problem of phys
ical science, says Goldsmith's GeograpL-
ical Magazine. Some eminent physi-
cists, for instance, like Sir William
Thompson. have believed that the crus
of the earth is at least 100 miles thick.
The majority adduce good reasons for
believing that the crust is only twenty
five to fifty miles thick. All agree that
the temperature within the earth con
times to increase as it does near the
surface-at the rate of one degree Fab
rehneit for about every ffty.fve feet Of
descent All igneous rocks must be
fused at no great depth.
In fact, at this rate OF increase the
temperature at 200 miles is 49, 900 de-
prees Fahrenheit, which is Professor
Rosetti's estimate of the probable tenn
perature of the sun. It is improbable.
however, that this rate of increase is
maintained for a great distance, and
many physicists believe that at some
unknown but not very great depth the
increase in temperature ceases.

A Fine Cricket Match.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. % The cricket
match between the Lord Hawke Eleven
and Il team made up of cricketers from
the various first class Philadelphia teams
which began Friday last, ended today
with victory for Philadelphia. The
Englishmen, who started their second
inning Saturday, making "a runs for q
loss of two wickets, finished today, max.
ing III runs, or a grand total of 430
runs. The Philadelphians began their
second innings. needing 1873 u to
win. These they secure with the loss
of two wickets, their last run being
made three minutes before the time
fixed for ceasiug. The outcome was
something of a surprise. as the opinion
was general that the fourth day would
be necessary for a finish Of the match,
and the match arranged with Baltimore
had been therefore postponed. The
Englishmen kept up their feeling, their
place being equal to the best cricket
aver seen in this country.

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDER.

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDER.
Discussion Before the American
:. Chemical Society.
To the Editor OF The Tribune-Sir:
Ihave just seen the report in your
issue of Sept. 8 OF the discussion at
the Washington meeting of the
American Chemical Society, Aug. 1s,
relative to the use of carbonate OF
ammonia in baking powders.
This report is incomplete and in
correct in many particulars, and as
the paper which precipitated the dis
cussion vas read by me and was
based upon my own experiments, ]
desire to make certain corrections in
the interest of the truth and for the
benefit of the large number OF your
readers to whom the question is one
OF great moment.
The paper asread before the society
related that ammonia in baking
powder is. retained in the bread by
reason Of it's affinity to the gluten.
The consensus: OF opinion as expressed
during the discussion was against the
use Of carbonate OF ammonia in
baking powder withthe only exception
of DR.. McMurtrie, who is now an
employee OF a baking powder company
which uses carbonate of ammonia in
its baking powder.
Of the other parties mentioned as
having taken part in the discussion
were Prof. DR.. Barker of the Universe
ty of .Pennsylvania, who is the Presi-
dent of the society and one of our
highest authorities. In answer to a
pleading by Prof. McMurtrie that on
fy small quantities of ammonia were
used in baking powders, he. stated:
"No matter how small the Quantity,
Unjust decline to be dosed medically
without my consent when taking my
meals" ~. = y. s... :>&r
DR.. E. H. BARLEY, formerly chemist
of the Brooklyn Board of Health and
Professor Of Chemistry at the Long
Island College, likewise named, did
not, 1 believe, take active part in the
discussion, but is already on record
as strongly opposed to the use Of am
monium carbonate in bakingpowders.
Dr. Richardson volunteered only
the question whether the flour used in
the experiments was OF good quality,
of which 1 assured him by statingthat
it was the best and the flour used in
my family.
Prof. Mallet was not present.
Your article is misleading in SO far
as it gives the impression that am
monia disappears on baking. My
actual tests agree with those made by
others, showing that ammonia re-
mains in the bread. ADMINISTRATIONS
simply assign a new cause for its re-
tention. -
