History of the Earth.


If anything III the history or condi-
tion Of tie earth seems fer the time
contradictory Of anything in geology,
you must I; member that geology is al
the time correcting itself and more and
more coming to characterization with the
great book: III TIE last century the
french Scientific association printed a
list OF so theories Of geology which had
been adopted and afterward rejected.
Lyell, the scientist, announced so theo-
ries of geology that had been believed
i'll and afterward thrown overheard.
Meanwhile the story of the Bible has
not changed at ALL and if geology has
cast out between 100 and 200 theories
which it once considered established we
can afford to wait until the last theory
of geology antagonizing divine revela-
ton shall have been given up. Now, in
this discourse upon the geology of the
Bible or God among the rocks charge
all agita1ed and affrighted Uzzahs to
calm their pulses about the upsetting
of the Scriptures. Let me see. For sew
eral hundred years the oxen have been
jerking the ark this way and that and
pulling it over rough places and trying
to stick it in the mud of derision and

ter followed the fate of the first. The new theater was a short-lived enter prise, but it became famous rapidly because the actors who appeared upon its stage were the greatest of that day and generations; and the Richmond theatcr was regarded as the cradle of the dramatic art, which was then in its American infancy.
 E. Placide was well known in the dramatic annals of the early years of this Century, and the performance given 3n the Richmond theater on December 26, 1911, was for his benefit. 1t was looked forward to as great event, and the social life of the Old Dominion was enlivened with expectation. It was an- nounced that the English custom of presenting pantomines at Yuletide would be followed by the presentation of new piece called Raymond and Agnes; or, the Bleeding Nun" It was further announced on the bills that it would be .the last performance of the season."
 There was grand throng in the Richmond theater when the curtain went up that evening. The governor of Virginia was there, with his official staff. There were old-time gentlemen from the prosperous plantations of the state, statesmen, members of the bench and bar, family parties, of husbands, wives and children, beyies of maidens, the loyeliest of girls, and the most stately of matrons, silked, satined and beieweled. There were successful tradesmen, merchants, seafaring men and importers. In the rear section, re- served for them, were poor whites" and negroes, also present to enjoy the play. The audience filled the theater to overfiowing, and there were very nearly 900 people in the assembly. For that time and place it was a great au- dience; the greatest that had ever as sembIed in any city in the south.
 In those days chandeliers were made with lamps, instead of gas or electric ity, as we have them now. At the be- ginning of the second act boy on the stage pulled up into the flies overhead, chandelier, one lamp in which was still burning. The flame ignited one oi of the strips of painted canvas. That was the beginning of the awful ending of that gay evening
 There was a cry of fire" when the little flame was first seen, and the peo- pie rushed for the single exit. One of the actors r1sssed forward, and assured

SCIENTIFIC SHOTS.

A new method of preserving meats from which much is expected consists in immersion in 30 per cent. solution of salt through which a continuous current of electricity is being passed. The curing is completed in from ten to twenty hours, when the meat is taken out and dried.

 Gold leaves so thin that 250,00J measure only an inch in thickness are produced in the Swan process by placing thin sheets of polished cop per in an electrolytic gold-plating SO lution only until continuous gold film has formed, then dissolving away ths copper in solution of ferric chloride.

MONUMENTAL CHURCH.

The Most Interesting Building in Richmond, va.-A Picture That Recalls the Doubts About
 Booths Death.
Ispecial Richmopd 1va.l Letter.l

The Monumental church at Rich uond, has not only a wonderful history, but there IS a romance concerning one local history. Writers in the future will undoubtedly weave web of weird doubt concerning the identity of the priest, and probably the legend will form the foundation for myths; out of which the unbridled fancy of poets may develope stanzas as peculiar and won- derful as those which trickeled from the gifted pen of Edgar Allen Poe. One thing is certain, and that is that the picture of Rev. Dr. Armstrong and the picture of John Wilkes Booth are 50 much alike that every observer will declare that they are not resemblances, nor likenesses, but counterparts.
 The Monumental church manifests many strange vagaries of construction. It stands in quiet old churchyard Fronting on Broad street, upon the dope of hhl which was at one time the center and circumference of official and Fashionable life in the capital city of the Old Dominion. The church itself is part of the history of the city, and esen the ground whereon it stands is held in reverence by the people here, because it constitutes part of block of ground bought by Thomas Jefferson, and by him dedicated as the site of an Institution of science and belles letters after the fashion of the French acade- my.
 There were people in Richmond who shook their heads with doubt and de- preciation when the academy building was converted into a theater. They were not croakers, without cause, be- cause the theater was destroyed by fire few years afterwards. The his- toric block was then divided. and the new Richmond theater was erected upon one corner of it. The second thea
