In the report of the last coal COM
mission the conclusion Is arrived at
that at depth of 5000 feet the tenn
perature of the earth would amount
to SO degrees Fahrenheit, but 1t was
considered that a depth of at least
1000 feet might ultimately be reached
in coal mining. The rate OF increase.
the commissioners thought. might Tor
ordinary cases be assumed to be one
degree Fahrenheit for every 60 feet.
but it is really impossible to give
any fixed rate of increase.
The report of the British associa-
ton committee on underground tenn
peratures during the last thirty years
tends to show not only that the tenn
perature gradient varies considerably
in different localities, but that 1t is
not easy to deduce a fixed law OF in
crease applicable to all cases. In some
parts of western America the heat at
5000 feet is almost unbearable. while
at the copper mine in north Michigan
there is a rise of only four degrees
Fahrenheit in a depth of 4.400 feet. al

What Henry cIews Thinks About 1t.

The result of the election fell
fat on Wall street If the social
istic and discontented vote be
eliminated, it will be found there
remains an immense vote. espe-
cially in this city, eager to express
its disapproval OF the abuses OF
corporate management revealed
in the various exposures of one
kind or another during the past
few years. Ordinarily, politics
do not enter into the stock
market operations for any pro-
tracted length of time. The pres
ent, however, may prove an ex-
ception; for it is plain that very
large majority of the active voters
in this state are apparently intent
upon rebuking what they claim to
be the arrogant abuses of the mon
ey power. The spirit of opposition
has evidently been thoroughly
aroused, and there is no mistake as
to its determination to have good
results.
1t is sure also to express itself
in good deal of hostile legislation
in other states, and in continued
aggression on the part of the
administration at Washington
against the trusts. The new
governor was selected and elected
for the purpose of cleaning our
political and financial households;
and of course Wall street cannot
but look on this decision of the
public with more or less timidity.
AS a precedent the political effect
of the election in this state will be
far-reaching; other of the states
will follow suit, and should the
movement go no farther than SIM
ply compelling naughty and
avaricous corporations to behave
themselves the same as ordinary
people, then all will be we'll and
hopeful, and in the end the
country will be benefited by the
agitation. But if no heed is paid
to rising radical tendencies by our
great industrial and financial
leaders, and If public grievances
are to go on uncorrected and
ignored. the attack upon vested
interests will increase in intensity
and become more dangerous
Capital is notoriously timid, yet
possesses exceptional facilities for
self protection, and if pressed too
hard will begin to leave the
country, to the serious detriment
of all concerned, especially labor,
upon whom any check in the bus
mess initiative would fall with
greatest severity.
