VI iate years the general view mas
been that the interior Of the globe,
though partly liquid, is for the most
part solid. Some have considered that
q section through the earth would
show the following:
~ An outer solid envelope, e. a
semifuid envelope, 81 a fluid envel-
ope, ~ smeifluid envelope, % solid
nucleus. No. results from reduced
temperature only no. 2 from q pres
sure and temperature not quite suffi-
Client for liquidation, No. from tenn
perature sufficiently high to produce
complete liquidation, No. 4 from
pressure so great as to prevent even
the terrific heat which most certainly
exists deep down in the earth from
completely liquefying the material on
which 1t works, and No 5 from a pres
sure which overcomes completely the
ltquefying power even Of the maxi
mum heat of the interior.
This pressure is estimated to be at
the center Of the Garth z 12O kQ2 7S0
pounds to the square foot, a pressure
30 enormous that no known substance
could fuse beneath it. Even hydrogen
at the. highest possible temperature
would under such conditions become
as hard as diamond. Hence it seems
probable that, far from there being a
vacuum at the center of the earth,
there is basis Of intensely solid mat
ter there.-Pearson's Weekly.

The snore.

A certain poet thus breaks forth:
ooh, the snofe, the beautiful snore, fill
ing the chamber from ceiling to floor;
over the coverlet, under the sheet, from
her wee dimpled chin to her pretty
feet; now rising aloft like a bee in
June. now sunk to the wall of crack
ed bassoon; now filutelike subsiding,
then rising again, is the beautiful snore
of Elizabeth Jane"

Story ola Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
ny the chains of disease is the worst
kind OF slavery. George d. Williams,
Of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife had been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over In bed
alone. After using two bottles OF Elec-
trio Bitters, she Is wonderfully improv-
ed and able to do her own work." This
supreme remedy for female diseases

THE CONVENTIONAL the eleC ion
70 be held on the 24th the question of
whether or not to hold State coDven-
ton will be submitted to the people.
Under the act passed by the Legislature
every ballot cast on that day not mark
ed AGAINST will be counted FOR the
convention. Considering its import
snce but little attention has so far been
maid to the matter. A letter from Rich.
mond says:
at is now apparent that the voters
here are msnifesting but little interest
in the proposed constitutional conven-
tion. Not more than 90 people turned
ont Friday night TO hear Judge William
Hodges Mann, one ofIhe ablest lawyers
in the State, discuss the matter. Most
of these were lawyers who felt pecu-
liar interest 10 the subject. The mass
of the voters stayed away"
Similar reports come from other sec
tions OF the State. One of the demo-
cratic party leaders from Fairfax who
was in this office few days since said
that the democrats of his couuty would
almost soldly vote against the conven-
loD. Many democrats 10 this city hold
the same view. Fear that convention
NAV do harm rather than good is the
reason assigned for the opposition to
snch a question. The laws enacted by
recent .gislatures and the improbable
ty tbst better men would be sent to the
convention than for some time have
been elected to the legislature, make
many prefer to bear the ills they have
than fly to others they know not of.

by the city without stopping and she
was required to come back here and be
inspected.
