Crust of the Earth.

cred rocks from all the world over
GRANTEES from Cornwall and Rhodesia,
basalt from Greenland, the Victoria
Falls and Ireland, syenite from Nor

and has estimated as a result of pro
longed Investigations that not more
than one-thirtieth of the total volume
OF the earth is composed or rocks,
found on the surface.
As a result of his deductions he es.
Inmates that the depth of the earth's
rock crust is approximately as miles.
This deduction comedies to a certain
degree with the calculations of Prof
Milne, the earthquake expert, who has
been investigating to the same end
by the observation of earthquake
tremors and tseir speeds. Prof. Milne
concludes that at a depth of 30 miles
below the earths surface exist rocks
whose physical properties are similar
to those found on the exterior.
Mr.. Strut computes the internal
heat of the globe to be about 1,50G
degrees centigrade at about As miles

GLASS NEEDS TENDER CARE.
Careful Washing and Drying Is Abso

There is nothing that repays one
more for careful washing and drying
than glass First one must have a
basin of warm water, softened with
dissolved soap which makes very
good lather. The water must not be
zoo hot. or It will break the glass.
Have basin of clear water to rinse
the glass in after washing It, and If a
very fine polish be desired on it have
a third basin of cold water with a lit
tie ammonia in it.
Wash each article separately, rinse
1t well and dry with a soft glass cloth
which should be made of linen, or tiny
fluffy particles will stick to the glass
and spoil its bright appearance.
When It is washed and dried polish
