FARM ~PLAsTERs.

An Eastern financial journal gives the
farm mortgages in six leading sgricultu-
raj States as follows: Kansas. s235, Co.,

1867, 900, 900; Michigan, $500, 900, 600;
Wisconsin, $751;, 600. 900; Ohio, sl,l27,-

BORING INTO EARrH's SECRETS.

lbO IN Eh ~
For the last 200 or 300 years there has
been much speculation among scientific
men as to the exact cause of the phe-
nomenon of earthquakes, which has in
cidentally added new interest to the
query: How Thick is the earth's crust 7
In discussing the earthquake problem
different schools OF scientists have taken
different views of the matter, one branch
Of them supposing the "quake" to be
the result Of an effort of the great inter.
nal heat to escape through q weak por.
tion Of the earth's crust; the others de-
clare that 1t is caused by shrinkage Of
the outer strata on account of the cool.
ing process going on deep down in the
bowels Of the earth. About ten or
twelve years ago, says the st. Louis Re
public, the German Government made a
gigantic effort to settle this p~erplexing
question for all time to come by sinking
a shaft near the city Of Schladebach,
with the object especially of obtaining
trustworthy data concerning the rate Of
increase Of the earth's temperature with
each succeeding 100 or fraction Of 100
feet OF descent. At last accounts the
shaft had reached 9 depth of 1892 me.
tiers, which is believed to be the great
est depth of the globe. The tempera.
ture of the shaft at the 1900 meter
level was As degrees c~entigrade, or 40
Fahrenheit. If this percentage Of in
crease is maintained the boiling point of
water will be reached at about 5000
meters, and at As miles the heat would
be sufficient to melt any known sub
stance.

The Clipper takes practical, common
sense view OF the subject, and although it
states its point veryS briefly it does it so
clearly and forcefully that it cannot be
successfully answered. The proposition is
so plain that the briefest statement of it
ought to be sufficient''to carry conviction TO
every citizen Of Kansas who has any in
terest in, or care for the welfare and
prosperity OF the state, and especially in
the southern half Of it. Il may be re-
garded By some as indicate for Wichita
TO urge the point raised, but it IS fully

of mutual advantage and benefit. for as
the city grows and prospers SO viii the
entire country tributary To j; as a market

A WORD IN DEFENSE OF TEACHERS.

Having been a teacher for ten years in

words in defense of the teachers of this

Of their position can not speak right out in

of being misunderstood by the powers

first day of April, in average years 1t has
been growing rapidly and the set is
uniformly strong and of very healthy
green. The cold wave predicted for this
section within the next day or two, will
probably stop its growing but cannot hurt
it. The indications still hold good for the

have had some wonderful yields.
