''The inner earth is the inalienable

Once it contained the FORCES of

Symmes followed from it a vast

dom of speculation practically recog-
nizes but two limitations: The

untrammeled. 49,:
''It is my own view that the inner

hot, but very hot If the law of
compression by pressure and the law
of expansion be heat, as we know
them at the surface, apply equally to
