ef, jidgiug from temperature record
ed, III that part Of the United States
than anywhere else on the globe.
These causes of error being avoided,
it has been found possible to deter
mine with a fair degree Of accuracy
the thickness of the crust all over the
country.
The Calumet and Hecla mine is
ALP feet or nearly o mile in depth.
Prof. Alexander Agassiz not long ago
made a series Of temperature observa-
tions there, holes being drilled in the
rocks at various depths, and Their
mometers left in them from one to
three months. In this way the actual
temperatures Of the rocks themselves
were obtained, and not merely the air
temperatures in the mine. Such
temperatures were taken at los feet
(the level of Lake SuperiorD at 655
feet (the level of the se.,> ct 1857
feet CHE level Of the deepest part of
Lake Superior) end at 1850 feet. At
q depth Of 1880 feet the thermometer
showed only 70 degrees-a striking
illustration of the chill aforesaid.
DR.. barton has devised a special
kind Of thermometer, enclosed in q
tube of thick glass, which he has
lowered into deep boripgs all over the
United States. The instrument regis
ters the maximum temperature which
it encounters. Rock temperatures
were taken in the Anaconda and other
deep mines in the manner already de-
scribed, while other records were fur
nished by the water gushing out Of
Artesian wells. Such water, coming
as it does direct from the depths,
gives the exact temperature of the
strata from which it is drawn.
The deep hole at Wheeling already
mentioned was bored unsuccessfully
for oil. It's bottom temperature, at
$500 feet, is ITO degrees. The Pitts
burg we'll, which is the deepest on
this continent, 5000 feet, was sunk
for gas; a thermometer lowered in it
to 5000 feet registered 12l degrees.
A we'll neal Berlin, Germany, 4,17O
feet deep, haS d temperature Of 118
degrees ut the bottom. Another, near
Leipzig, 5,74O feet deep, is 1875 de-
grees at the bottom. But the deepest
,4o!s ca ealthh 10 al ( aga5ohowits, Size
STA. It is $500 feet in depth and
going deeper. Temperature observa-
lions are to be taken in it., but none
have been made as yet.
All o~btainable data on this interest
ing subject are being assembled, and
before long the United States geolo-
gical survey will publish them in q
special bulletin, together with a chart,
showing just how thick tho crust Of
the earth is all over the United States.
Thus people everywhere in this coun-
try will have the satisfaction Of know
ing exactly how much solid ground
separates them from a region below
where conditions correspond in all
important respects to the traditional
Hades. Rene Bache.

Some Beauty Donts.

Don. forget that the aSrsos q q
woman's beauty are seven-freeh air,
sunshine, warmth, rest, sleep, food
and whatever stirs the blood, be it
exercise or enthusiasm.
Don't neglect to sleep. You can
sleep yourself into good looks. A long
nap and a hot bath will make any wo.
man more attractive, and lift yeara
from her shoulders.
Don't eat when tired and don't work
when tired. 1t is q mistake to work
when not in fit condition-bad for the
work and worse for you.
Don't miss your 'beauty sleep"
1t is q mistake to go to bed late at
night, rise at daybreak and imagine
that every hour taken from sleep is
an hour gained.
Don't give unnecessary time to q
certain established routine of house
work, when it could be much more
proftably spent in rest and recreation.
Don't cit down to table as soon %
you come in from work, or q round Of
social duties. Lie down, or cit down
for ten minutes, waiting until you
can partake Of your dinner with the
physical machinery rested and re-
freshed.
Don't battle in hard water. Soften
it with e little powdered borax, or q
handful of oat meal.
Don't battle the face while it is
very arm or very cold.
Don't wash the face when travel.

and water, or a little cold oreal
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cold water. Give the face a hot bath
with soap, aud then rinse thoroughly
with clear tepid or cold water.
Don't rub the face with too coarse

ly.
Don't be afraid Of sunshine and
fresh air. They offer you blooom and
color.
Dou't forget that hearty laughter is
o source of relaxation. So ore all
high thoughts, as those of hope, beau.
ty, trust and love.
Don't forget that beauty is power.
There is nothing more potent. 1t is
to q woman what capital is to o mer.
chant. Its absence ia a misfortune;
its culture wise and proper.

ANOTHER BREAK IN WHEAT

CORN.
Corn ruled weak throughout the entire

break in wheat added to the weakness. and

buyers turned sellers. The weather was
