There arc very Important evidences Of in
tcrual heat derived from the universn
phenomenon OF fairly uniform increas'
Of temperature in all deep wells, mines
borings or tunnels. This iucrease hal
been usually rcckoned as / deg Fahren
heit for each sixty feet Of descent but
recent very careful estimate by Professoi
Prestwich, derived from the whole Of thu
available data, givea deg. Fahrenheit
for every AS feet Of descent
It Is a curious Indication Of the uniyer
salty Of this incrense that even In the cold
est parts Of Siberia, where the soil is frozen
to depth Of $50 feet there Is steady in
crease ia the temperature OF this frozef
soil from the surface downward.
Much has been made by some writer's Of
the local differences Of the rate Of increase
varying from ! deg. In tFenty-eighi
feet TO 1 deg. 10 ninety-fve, and alst
OF the fact that In some places thu
the rate OF increase diminisheL7as thedeptt
becomes greater But when we consider
that springs often bring up heated waiel

from any seat Of volcanic action, aud tht
extenu to which water permeates the rocld

Now, this average rate OF increase, If con

Terrible Suffering of New
Settlers i'm Oklahoma.
DEATH RIDES THE BLIZZARD.
Six Persons Killed by the Cold In North
Dakota-Snow and Bitter Wind
All Over Kansas.

KANSAS CRY, March 1.-THE storm con-
tinues tonight with undated fury. The
fall Of snow Of six to eight inches on q
level is proving troublesome to the
railroads. A Wichita dispatch says the
fall Of snow in Southwest Kansas averages
eight inches on the level. Many tele-
graph wires west from there are down,
and it is difficult for dispatchers TO keep
trains moving. The street railways al
Wichita have been abandoned.
Dispatches from various points in Okla
homa indicate that the blizzard prevails
there also. A Guthrie special states that
it has been showing all day and a heavy
norther prevailing. Many of the recent
settlers are poorly housed, poorly clothed
and poorly fed, not yet having had al
opportunity to harvest a crop. They live
in shanties, tents and dugouts, and their
suffering will be acute. The greatest suffer
ing is among the negroes who have been
lured to oklahoma By INSCRIPTIONS
agents. They have no means Of providing
against an emergency. Many have no
places to sleep; ell are poorly clothed and
the majority without money. No fatalities
are yet reported, but if the storm continues
another twenty-four hours. such reports
are expected. Dispatches from North
western Missouri show it is raging there.

Ericsson's Wonderful ProjectiIe.

New YORK, March 14-Some day this
week the ''aerial subaquatic projectile, "
TO the invention of which Ericsson de-
voted SO many years of study, will be
tested at Fort Wadsworth under
the supervision of the board
OF ordinance Notifications. The
NV projectile may be used either
on land or sea, carries 300 pounds of dyna-
mite or gun cotton, and when used in
naval combat strikes some portion under
the water of the vessel sought to be de-
stroyed. When the projectile strikes the
water it will still have sufficient
velocity to travel 500 feet underneath the
water. The depth at which it may travel
under water is regulated by an ingenious
device, also fitted with rudders and fms,
which, having been adjusted before the
projectils is discharged, steers it in a
straight course against the vessel.

THE ENGLISH STRIKE.
Action of the Miners Causing Industrial
Paralysis.


LoSDos, March 14-Fifteen thousand
coal miners are idle in North Stafford
shire. Unless they resume work in few
days the potteries will be compelled to close
down, throwing 5000 men out of work.
Flintshire, in Wales, appear. to be the
only place where the order of the miners
federation to quit work has not been
obeyed by the members of the associa-
ton. The latest estimates of the num-
Der of miners now idle is $50. 600.
Owing to the closing down Of other
industries on account of the strike, fully
10000 men in other employments have
been thrown out of work. The North
eastern Railway Company has stopped
many of its trains because of
lack of fuel, and large num-
Der of engineers at Crewe have been
temporarily dismissed for the same reason.
In the Leeds district the strike is severely
felt, nearly all the mills reducing employees
or suspending work altogether.
The members of the South Wales Min
er's Association will limit the output of
mines in which they labor and
not work over time during the strike
elsewhere. The iron works at Bolton are
