THE COOLING EARTH.



lows on its Surface.
Once upon time, the learned men
tell us. Jhis world on which we live
was a part of the sun and was thrown
off from IT, taking the round form it
has as it whrlcd about through space.
At that time it was tcrrincally hot,
like the sun from which it was thrown
out, and probably in the form of a
gas. But being much smaller than
the sun it cooled much more quickly
and became whitc-hot liquid. And
TINS too, gradually cooled more and
more, until at last a thin crust begpu
to form on all around it. as film
forms on cooling molasses candy when
1t begins to harden The water in the
air about it frequently formed into
rain and fell on the hot surface and
helped to cool IT, though. of course. il
evaporated again very quickly from so
hot place But after "A time IL did
not evaporate so quickly. but re-
manned on the crust and gradually
formed an ocean all around the earth.
And the inside of the earth went on
cooling under this first hardened crust
and shrunk as it cooled, for all things
grow smaller rs they cool Off You

1t will go in again as before SO the
inner part of the earth went ON
shrinking, and finally it shrunk so
much that the outside crust. which
was not so very thick, comparatively
speaking, doubled up and cracked at
different spots all round the earth, so
that the surface. which must before
have been pretty smooth, became
rough with high elevations and deep
depressions, and naturally all the
water flowed into those deep dcpres-
sions and formed oceans in spots
where there had been before n single
ocean reaching all around the globe.

A PLUCkY GIRL.
She Had the Grit to Stop the Abuse
of a Horse.

OF Horse.
One day recently a group of school
girls were coming home from school
when they heard harsh words and
hard blows AS they looked up they
saw coal team, heavily loaded, with
"a wheel in the gutter, and the horse
unable to move it. The driver, with
quick stroke, was belaboring the
poor beast and using language that
was not Scriptural nor classical. 1t
made the girls afraid. One of them,
however, called out: "What Is he
whipping that poor horse for? I'll see
to it,"
The angry driver sneerlng replied:
You'll see to it,"
The young girl was in no way daunt.
ed. and replied. Yes; I'll see to it,"
and, going round the curb TO lind out
the number of it, as well aS the name
of the firm, continued And If you
do not stop I'll report you also" This
quieted the cowardly fellow, and he
calmed down, put his shoulder to the
wheel, coaXed the horse and got out
of the gutter. And the girl stayed
there and saw the affair through.
