NEPTUNSTS AND PlUTONlSlS
on THE ORIGIN OF VEINS.

The "Neptunists" and ''Pluton-
lists" were two schools Of geologi ists
which hald radically different ideas
during the latter part Of the eigh-
teenth and early part Of the nine
teenth centuries on the origin Of
veins. Werner was the head of the
Neptunists, as Hutton was of the
Plutonists. Werner assumed that the
earth was at one time surrounded by
water rs deep ss the mountains are
high, and that from this water the
solid rocks now forming dry land
was chemically precipitated. The
veins were, according TO him, filings
of assures aud cracks, such Filings
being due to deposits from aqueous
solutions. The theory took no ac-
count Of the internal heat of the
globe.
Hutton, on the other hand, be-
sides ascribing the origin Of sedimen-
tary rocks to water, assumed that the
consolidatio" was due to subter-
rsnean heat aud the forces derived
from such a source. The veins were
formed by mate rial which came
from below. Werner taught that
veins were contraction assures,
which were filled from the matter
held In solution and suspension
In the ocean above them. Hence the
Werenr school was called Netunists
after Neptune, the NEUROLOGICAL god
of the ocean, aud the Hutton school
from Pluto, the classical
god Of the lower world. The teach
ings Of the latter school have more
resemblance to modern ideas than
those of the NeptuDists. Mining

REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA.

Newspaper correspondents talk some
what fifppantly of the possibilities of
revolution in Russia growing out of
the disturbed industrial conditions
consequent upon the losses by the war
and the withdrawal of vast numbers of
men from the productive vocations. of
peace. And yet revolution in Russia
is not a possibility to be lightly con-
sidered nor f1ippantly spoken of. 1t
is a possibility fraught with such APP
palling possibilities, to the Russians
and to the race of men at large, that
those who think will shrink from its
tive.
The peasantry of France was ground
into the dust for thousand years be-
fore there came from the abyss a
; storm of blood and fire that swept
across the world. The men of today
still feel the pulsing of that mighty
force-a force for good, although it's
demonstration was so ferociously cruel
i'll its first days that nations turned
to battle with it as terrified men unite
to fight against fire.
The Russian peasant has been ground
into the earth. by the power of bureau
cracy almost since the days of Joan
the Terrible. 1t is true that there were
hints of freedom, some hopes that Rus
sian manhood might have scope for
growth, following the breaking of the
Tatar yoke. The great republic OF
Novgorod held up its power among the
nations against the might of the Cars
of Muscovy for long years. While tbs
blood of Rurik divided the land among
his descendants. there was still hops
