In connection with his geological
and genealogical Investigations Pro-
fessor Clarence King has construct
ed n series of temperature gradients,
as they are termed-that Is, tables
with diagramatic representations of
temperature and pressure from the
surface to tho center Of the earth.
he finds that, while there is really q
very slight change of temperature
from the surface to the center below
q certain superficial depth. the pres
sure augments with one downward
sweep to tho center. Thus IL passes
1,74l degrees at l75, 600 atmospherea,
thence steadily augmenting until at
the center it reaches over 1000. 600
atmospheres' pressures. Itappears,
therefore, that the empire of heat
over pressure is confined only 70 the
superficial layer Of the earth, that Of
pressure over heat being not far be-
low the surface and increasing stead
lily downward to the center. The
temperature of the earth, as q globe,
according to Professor Kings inves-
legations, never exceeded 2, 900 de-
grees C., and the central portions are
made up of very dense substances.

Several prominent Democrats
have been named for the race for
Governor in this State, but none Of
them entirely fill the bill as yet.
The latest aspirant for the pos ition
is Hon. |. e. Ralphsnyder of Pres
ten county, who is candidate on
the free silver platform. lie is one
of the most pronounced leaders of
the movement for the restoration of
silver to its time honored position
and has no apologies to offer, but
will earnestly and ably champion
the cause Of silver and the common
people against the monied monopoly
of New York and London. Mr..
Ralphsnyder is hustler and will
go into the fight to win. lie is
well known all over the State and
is one of the shrewdest lawyers and
politicians in tho whole country.
He will be ably supported by the
most prominent silver leaders and
will make the fight Of his life for
this high and honorable office. We
shall have more to say of his
canvass from time to time.

THEY EEyOICE GHE4Tly.

DEAN REGISTER WIFE you
please inform Us what became OF
"brave Leroy Sbaw's" "yote win
ner" ticket at the Preston Prlmav-
les ?--Journdl.
1t rs trite saying, "Never kick
u nsan vixen he rs down." and no
brave man will do it. Why the
JeaTaaI should rejoice greatly over
he defeat of the candidates whom
she Brave Leroy Shaw Supported
is something which it may have oc
casion to regret in after years.
Will the JourNal please explain to
the public why Lee Shaw sbould be
singled out and condemned for his
support of candidates which the
Journal could not support Is it
because Lee Shaw has always fought
bravely rings and 6oSsiSm !? 1t is
time shat Leader Shaw held on With
tenacity OF porous plaster to the
candidates which the journal IN its
power had already marked for the
slaughter, but to the pnprejudice
this is not sufficient reason for, con-
domination. 1f'strugglfng against
such odds, Leader Shaw's admira-
ton for lofty sentiment or heroic
courage tempts him to give his
sanction to such an act OF sacrifice
he should be congratulated instead
of condemned. The world at large
admires brave man, and even the
Journal will admit that the valiant
Leroy Shaw's bravery has never
been questioned. While the Jour-
nal rejoices at the temporary de-
feat Of Leader Straw and his caDdi,
dates it should bear in mind that
he has not surrendered. He will
be heard from later on, and it will
not require the X Rays or the
search light of the Journal to find
him.

"what fools obese mortals be

"What fools these mortals be-"
One of the saddest cases in the
world is that OF a person who thinks
he can write poetry aud is bound to
shine in the literary world and set
the armament ablaze with the re-
fulgence Of his genius, and at the
same time couldn't correctly write
an order to the black smith shop
for keg Of nails or pair Of hind
shoes for a one-eyed sorrel mule.
We are always sorry for a rising
genius like this aud generally bear
with them TIL they write their own
death warrant. Below we give a
sample of this kind of mistaken
genius that is trying to write poetry
when he ean't even write q letter.
We have been publishing his So
called poetry for some time In the
hopes that 1T would improve and to
encourage home talent. We had to
work it over every week IN order to
get 1T in shape for print at all, and
now we are informed that we fail to
recognize poetry when it comes our
way. We recently published the
following squib, which seems to
have been a dead shot, although
we had no thought of anyone in
particular when we wrote it
Poets are born and most OF them
are dead. There are also a good
many counterfelters who ought to
be in Jail.
1t is said that "guilty con-
science needs no accusing" and
we have received the following pro-
