DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRES.

A most destructive forest fire ragged
all day Friday and Friday night through
out the extensive forests on Sunnyside
farm, the property of the late l.. T.
Smith, near Heathsville. Considerable
alarm was felt lest the fire should reach
some of the nearby homes. Nearly the
entire male population of Heathsville
and surrounding country turned out to
check the progress of the flames, and
it was only by the. heroic efforts of the
many bucket brigades that the beautiful
and historical old homes of j. Lee
Virgins and j. Beverly Croxton were
saved. A large area of valuable timber,
several miles of fencing and the saw
mill of Herbert Headley, from which
the fire originated, were destroyed
before the fire was finally gotten under
control

Why the Earth Cannot EXPLODE.

The theory is frequently advanced
that planets and even suns sometimes
explode and that the earth may some
day blow up like bombshcll. No
celestial body the size Of the earth
could possibly explode. If the entire
molten interior Of our globe could be
replaced with nltroglycerin and deto-
mated the explosion would not lift the
earth's crust. In other words, If we
assume that the crust Of the earth is
from fifty to hundred miles in thick
ness it would require something much
more powerful than even nitroglycerin
to burst the shell. 1t IS necessary only
to do little figuring to see that the
pressure of the earth's crust at a
depth Of from fifty to a hundred miles
far exceeds the pressure eXerted by
the most powerful high explosive
