A FIERY ORE,

BY A BANKER.

It would probably startle the great majority of people if they were told that there is but an extremely thin shell, or crust, of earth between them and a huge and a _ prodigious furnace no less then 259,000,000 cubic miles in extent, heated to a temperature infinitely fhigher than any heat which we are to produce, in fact, so intensely hot that everything—rocks, metal:, minerals—all are in a state of complete anu permanant fusion. Science, however, inforn s us that this is the case; and ocular demonstra- tion, although of course it cannot confirm the conclusions of science as to the whole of the interior of the earth being ina molten state, yet volcanoes preve to us that vast masses of fasion caused by heat do exist beneath its crust.

The internal temperature of the earth in- creases at the rate of about one degree to every sixty feet of depth; at about 3,000 yards, therefore, water would boil, and at seven miles depth, lead would be in a permantly liquid state. It is believed that at a depth of thirty miles nothing could exist in a_ solid state; the thickness of the crust of the earth is therefore estimated at somewhat less than this, probably about twenty-five ortwenty-six miles. As compared with the total volume of the earth, this proportion would about be equal to that of the rind of an orange of average thick- ness, but the orange itself three yards in diameter; or an ostrich egg with the shell of a hen’s egg. There is, therefore, an infinitesim- ally thin and slight seperating partition be- tween us and this raging furnace. If we could imagine that the heat continues to in- crease at the same rate right down to the centre of the earth, the thermometer would there register the huge figure of 3,520,000 degrees of Fahrenheit, or about the estimated temperature of the surfcc:fof the sun. Some idea of what this terrific heat implies may be gathered from Sir J. Herschel’s calculation, that the heat of the sun is such that, withcut diminishing its intensity, a column of ice measuring 2,590 square miles at its base, and 194,626 miles in height, would be melted in a second of time if suddenly plunged into the body of the sun.

Some vague and indistinct conception of the condition of the interior of the earth may per- haps be formed by visiting the crater of an active volcano. It is, of course, necessary to make the last portion of the ascent on the windward side of the mountain, in order to avoid the suffocating sulphurous fumes which are pour- ing out. Upon arriving at the summit and looking down into the crater, the spectacle is horribly sublime and unearthly, the bottom of the fearful gulf upheaving in wild throes of disordered and agitated movement, ponderous masses of hot semi-liquid rock sudaenly rising higher and higher in the crater on all sides, billow meeting billow iu turbulent confusion, until it at length bursts over the side and pours down the mountain, fearrying destruction in its course, 2nd blasting the verdure and vegetation which it meets. And now, as the pent-up forces are bnrsting from their prison, ensues a series of violent, deafening explosions, and great masses of ashes and rock are hurled high into the air with a roaras of thunder, and with a fiery accompaniment of great tongues of flame, which illumine the dark abyss, and at night light up the surrouding country with a weird and lurid glare. Torrents of red-hot lava, boiling mud, fragments of plutonic rock and stones ar now ejected in such rapid suc- cession that the Spectator is compelled to quit the dreadful scene in dismay and alarm, lest he be overwhelmed in the fiery ruin which appears to threaten him: and even on his way down the mountain the hot molten lava, in great streams,

|

j with accelerated pace, as the force of the erup- tion increases in intensity, and the imprisoned lava, having found a way of escape, is ejected with ever augmented force.

This weird and sulphurous scene must inevit-

ibly remind even the most thoughtless of that terrible ‘* | which burneth with fire and brimstone,” which is the portion of those not only who wilfully transgress against their

Creator, but also of those who forget Him;

and although the description of that awful

place of punishment is probably only symbolical, yet sufficient is revealed to enable us to know that if the fire is only the fire of terrible remorse, and the gnawing worm only the grinding agony of a continued, unremitting, and never- ceasing torment of a cruel and pitiless accurs- er ; yet these are infinitely more grievus and torturing than any actual pain sueh as eould be associated with corporal agony, even the

most acutely severe and violeat. Happily, however, One has paid the penalty due for transgression, for each and every one who wil! accept Ilim as their Mediator.

fiome Liie Among the Indiaas.

One would hardly suppose that there could be particular rules as to the manner of sitting upon the ground. But here as in every other part of Indian life there is a rigid observance of custom. Men may properly sit upon their heels or cross leg- ged, but no woman may assume these at- titudes. She must sit sidewise, gathering her feet well under her, and make a broad, smooth lap. When working, she may kneel or squat, and when resting she as well as the men may sit with legs extend- ed, but at all other times men and wom- en must observe the etiquette of posture distinctive of sex. To rise without touch- ing the ground with the hand, springing up lightly and easily to the feet, is a bit of good breeding very difficult to one not to the manner born. Careful parents are particular to train their children in these aiceties of behavior.

Among the Winnebages the little girls are drilled in the proper way of standing when under obsertation on dress occasions. Their position of hands and feet is also the proper one for the women in certain religious dances. While among the Sioux a mother with a good sized family of boys and girls propounded to me the question whether white women did not find their daughters more trouble than their sons. She was sure she did. ‘‘Look at those girls,’’ said she. ‘‘I have their clothes to make, their hair to braid, and to see that they learn how te behave. Now, my boys are ne trouble.’’ As I glanced at the group of children, the glossy braids of the girls falling over their single smock, and the boys, naked but for the breech clout, their miniature scalp lock ornamented with a brass sleigh bell surmounting a snarl of frouzy hair, 1 recognized the kinship of maternal perplexities the world over.— Mrs. Alice C. Fletcher in Century.

She Didn’t Feel Comfortable.

A Glasgow lady in a hurry to go to ehurch took from her dark closet what she thought to be her dolman.

She hung the garment over her arm, and did not discover until she had thrown it over the back of the pew in front of her in church that she had brought by mistake a pair of her husband’s trousers.

She and her lady companion laughed so loud that they attracted the attention of the entire congregation, and no one except themselves understood the cause of the fresh burst of enthusiasm when the choir led off with ‘‘As Pants the Heart.’’—Pear- son’s Weekly.

Leyalty and Pairs.

A Democratic member of the house re- ceived a letter from an active politician of that party in his district calling attention to the fact that he is reported in The Con- gressional Record almost every day as be- Ing ‘‘paired’’ with a Republican. ‘‘I don’t uoubt your loyalty to the party,’’ reads the letter, ‘‘but I think the boys would like it a good deal better if you paired with Democrats instead of Republicans.’’ —Chicago Record.

To hunt the lion was kingly sport from the earliest times, and the Egyptian mon- uments show that all kinds of hunting, as well as fowling, were followed for pleasure.

The Olympic games were probably the oldest athletic sports, and their origin is lost in antiquity. They are said to cele- brate Jupiter’s defeat of the Titans.

When you knowa thing, to hold that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it, this is knowledge.—Confucius.

He that worries himself with the dread of possible contingencies will never be at teat.— Johnson. |
