Too Cold For overcoat..

about is keeping the head, hands and
feet warm. In that part Of Alaska

trot beside the sled An ordinary suit
Is plenty thick enough to keep you
warm, and an overcoat is dangerous In
that temperature. Trotting alongside
sled wearing an overcoat would
make you perspire. and the bitter cold
would freeze the perspiration. The
men there wear fur cap that covers
every part of the head and face except
the eyes. and there is only little peep

what We stand On.

The density of the earth as whole
has been estimated. with close agree
ment among the scientists who have
made the determination by different
methods, to be about 5.5. or FIVE and a
half times as heavy as an equivalent
sphere of water. On the other hand. the
average density OF the materials form
ing the accessible parts Of the earth's
crust Is between 25 and 8. so that the
mean density of the whole globe is
about twice that of its outer part
This indicates that the central part of
the earth is composed of heavier mate
rials and may even be metallic. which
condition. says the Engineering and
Mining Journal. would accord perfect
ly with the nebular hypothesis.

VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA.

Counsel for the State Of Virginia and
the State of West Virginia submitted to
the Supreme Court of the United States
yesterday forms for an order providing
for the appointment Of master 20 take
testimony in the case pending between
those two States as to the accountability
OF West Virginia for a part of the debt
of Virginia which accrued before 1851,
when West Virginia was made a State
from part of Virginia.
The tuo documents differed very
materially ss to the points on which
testimony shall be taken. Both agreed
upon the first requirement, which was
that the amount Of the public dept of
Virginia on January 1881, should be
ascertained and that it should be taken
specifically as to how and In what form
this debt was evidenced and by what
authority of law and for what purposes
it was created. together with the date
and nature of the bonds or other eviden-
ces of the Indebtedness.
Virginia makes an especial request
for the entertainment of the amount and
proportion OF the Indebtedness which
should In equity be spportioned to and
now be paid by the State of West Vir-
GINA, while West Virginia asks that
particular attention be paid TO the ordi-
aary expenses of the State Government
before 1861 and to the receipts from the
counties now included in West Vir-
ginia.
The court will necessarily have to de-
eide between the two contentious, and
in the end probably will draw an order
of Its own.
