The Interior of the Earth.

The University of Jena has just
awarded the prize for the best essay
on the condition of the interior of the
earth. NJ. Thiene, who won the Uni
versity of Jena's prize, did it with the
following theory:
The mean density of the earth is
known to be more than five times that
of water. AS the outer layers of the
crust have a very feeble density
water, /; rocks, an average of 2h-it
follows that the interior must have
density of about II. which is that
of iron. Again. there is enough accu.
rate information about the rigidity of
the earth to make it fairly certain
that this is slightly greater than
steel. NJ. Thiene calculates that the
crust of the earth is about $50 miles
thick, though most of the best author.
tiles are inclined to place it at about
80 miles. If his figures be correct,
there must be inside the crust an ex.

he calls barysphere.

that more than that number will be
received to grace the Taft feast.
Each possum will be brought whole
to the banquet table in a bed OF po-
