THE EARTH'S CENTRAL FIRES—AGENCY OF STEAM IN EARTHQUAKES—THE COOLING AND CONTRACTION OF THE GLOBE. From the New York Herald. Perhaps the best exposition of the causes and characteristics of earthquakes in general, and specially of our Atlantieseaboard earthquakes, anywhere to be found is embodied In the ad- dress delivered by Sir William Dawson, presi- | dent of the British association, on the night aiter the Cuarleston disaster. This eminent Canadian scientist, than whom no living mai Is better fitted toexpound the formation and changes of the earth’s crust, gave the probable history of the formation of the Atlantic ocean and the continents which bound It, Assuming that the earth’s nucleus, or mass, {8 solid, not- withstanding the plasticity of its under crust, And that this sub-erust is not in a state of dry igneous fusion, bat in that condition of aqueo- igneous or hydro-thermie fusion whieh arises irom the acuion of heat on molst substances, Proiessor Dawson argued that the Interior sub: crust is not homggetcous, but 1s composed of two layers—an upper layer highly silleeous aad of low specific gravity and a lower layer Liguly charged with iron und igneous rocks. It s evident, thereiore, that if, this be the double Suuciure Of the earth's under erdst, when Hs- sures ioria in the upper layer the material of the lower crust is foreed upward by the pres sure of the less supported portions of the sormer. CAUSE OF VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS. This, of course, would give rise to voleanie phenomena, which would be explosive or quiet, as determined by contact with water. The contraction of the earth’s interior by cooling nnd by the emission of material irom below the ver east has cused this crust to bend down- ward and sidewise, thus forming great bends, folds and plications. ‘These great ioldings, sub- sequently modified by suriace denudation, con- stitute our mountain rauges and plateaus, Fol- lowing tis line of reasouing Sir Wiliam com- pares the earth toa stone fruit, such as a plum speach, somewhat dried up. “It has,” he “a large and intensely hard stone “and cl, a thin pulp made up of two layers—an r inore dense and dark colored, and an outer jess dense and lighter colored. ‘hese voustitute the under crust.

Another remarisable fact emphasized by Sir William Dawson is that oné cannot look at any geological map of America without perceiving that the Appalachian ridges which intervene Uetween the Atiblic and the St. Lawrene have beeu driven bodily back by some y force uciing irom the cast, and that lave resisied the pressure only’ where (us they in the Gui oi St. Lawrence and the Catskill region ot New York) they have been protected by oudying masses of Very old rocks—us seen ii tue Aditunduek region and in Newioung- land, it is worthy of note that though later in culture aad e:vilization than some or the other continents, Aiucrica is, in the view of geologists, “ust burn ainong the continents.” “kere, sald Agassiz, laut fitted oat of the Waters, here the Orst shore washed by tue 1 that enveioped all the earth besides; and. while Lurope was represented oniy vy isiands rising Were and there above the sea, America alveady stretched an unbroken lneot land irom he tar west.” In this case ca, not urope, is to be regarded us the FUTURE CHANGES IN THE ATLANTIC BED. Bearing these data in mind, we can easily see the force of Prof. Dawson’s conclusions. Com- ing tote question of future changes in the Aulantic, he says: The question remains, has the acuieved its destiny and finished its course, or are there other elunges in store for icin te iuiure? ‘The earth’s crust is now thiccer aud stronger Uiau ever before, and its great ribs vi crusned and folded rock are more 7m and rigid than in aby previous period, * * * On the other hand, it ts known that movements of elevation, uiong with local de- pressious, are in progress In the Arctie regions, nd @ great weigut of newsediment is being de= posited along ihe borders of tue Atlantic, espe- cialiy om its western side,aud this is uot im- probably connected with cue earthquake shocks aud slight movements oi depression whieh have occurred in North America. Itis possible that these slow aud secular movements may go on uutil considerable changes are it is quite us likely that they may be retarded or reversed.” He adds: “It is tuc otuer hand, that after the long period of quiescence which has elapsed there lay be a hew settlement of the ocean bed, ac- companied with toldings of the crust, especially ‘on the western side Ol tue Atlantic, aud possi- bly witu renewed volcanic activity on Its east ern margin, In either case a loug time rela: lively ivour limited human chronology may Intervene before the occurrence of any marked change. IS THE EARTH'S INTERIOL“ HOT AND FLUID? A most important question underlying all seismological inquiries is whether the Luterior ofour globe is a molten mass. Until compara- tively recent times physicists ulmost unani- mously agreed that the process of solidification began by radiation irom the cooling of the earth's surtace exposed to the atmosphere, and thal the particles near the center eouuinued hot and fluid. Fourier, Lapluce, Humboldt and many great names’ are associated with this theory. “Lue leat of the water which flows trom ‘deep borings (urtesian Wells), direct ex- periments regarding the temperature of rocks in mines, above ail, the Volcanic activity of the earth, shown by the flow of molten masses from open fissures, afford unquestionable evidence,” said Humboldt, “of the increase of heat tor very considerable depths from the upper strata.” Lf Lue observations on increase of heat below the earth’s surtuce ailord any liguton the thermal state ol great subterranean depths, 1t follows tbat yranite rocks lying 30 miles under our feet wilt be in a state vi fusion, Sir Wiliam ‘Thomson while contending that much the larger partggt Uke cartu’s interior is solid, admits that t may be within its bowels great seas of ta@muolten matter which is occasionally beicued iorth trom volcanic coues, iS certain that this is actually the case in imany geugraphical areas—especially in the so- an enw tional p: ~- Mr. J.

Brom the Loudon Times In the heart of the province of Salzburg, on the Sounblick, which rises toa height of 10,177 feet, a great meteorological observatory, the Bighest in Europe, has just been erected, Which will be in immediate communication with the central meteorological office at Vienna. ‘The walls are over a meter thick.

CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES. Among the ingenious theories devised to ex- plain seismic disturbances is the attractive in- Siuences of the moon and sun. Professor Perrey, | a great seismological student, held the view that earthquakes felt at certain seasons of the year Were possibly due to the sun and moon Producing a tide in the fluid interior of the glove, aud that this tide pressing against the solid’ crust eaused fractures. Tuougia the theory gained most eredence on account of its adoption by Perrey, it was enuciated long be- lore big day, and las siuee been amplitied by ‘Tuough not tally accepting Perrey's aud Falb’s views, Professor Milne argues tlat “we nevertheless’ have traveling round our earth, sollowing the attractions of the sun aud moon, & tidal stress. This stress, imposed upon an area, in weritical state, may "cause It to give way, und thus be the origin of an earthquake. Earth: quakes ought, therefore, to be more numerous When these stresses ure the greatest.” And again, this bigh wuthority says: “That earth. quakes ure slightly more numerous at these Particular periods (of maximum stress or great- est pull exerted by the moon and sun—i.e,, perigee and peribelion—and again when they are acting i conjunction or at syzygies) isa strong reason for Lelieving that the attractions of the moon and sun enter into the list of causes producing these phenomena.” HIGH TIDE JUST BEFORE THE CHARLESTON SHOCK. It is very interesting to notice, as pointed out last week by the Journal Science, that at the time of the iate severe shock at Charleston the “tidal Influence was at its maximum.” Science adds: “I'he moon Was in perigee at two a. m., 29; beW moon ateigita.m., the same acting on # direct line with the sun. Ex. emeiy high Udes occurred, therefore, ior nev~ eral days following. ‘The moon's upper transit at Clatieston occurred at twenty-two minutes past two p.m. ou August 31. The higu tide joliowing (the higher Of the two daily tudes) Was at tWeniy-live minutes to ten p.m, just tweniy minutes before the shock occurred?" In bis report of the earthquakes of February, 1574, at Stone mountain, N. C. (within tiftecd, ot Black mountain or Mount Mitebeil, the est peak In the United States east of’ the Rocky mouutuius) Prof Dupre compared the shocks to those whica would probably be made by a subterranean tide. AGENCY OF STEAM IN EARTHQUAKES, All geologists assign an important part to steam in the production of volcanic eruptions, and it is highly probable that most earthquakes have been caused by the penetration of water into tae superaeated deptis. ‘The formation of enormous quantities of steam and other gases having @ prodigious pressure and explosive power in the peut-up spaces below is certainly Adequate to account foF seismic phenomena on & very extensive scale.

TRE EARTH'S “SECULAR COOLING.” It is assumed by scientists generally that the earth is slowly losing its heat during long ages by radiation into space of its primitive heat, and hence that its structure is slowly contract- ing. This radiation from its surface of all heat, whether from the solar rays above or from the glowing furnaces beneath, must necessarily, if continued long enough, bring the temperature of the whole planet down to that of space. It follows that in cooling the globe is also slowly contracting, and bence tho assertion that the contracting’ process is @ Large factor in earth- quake causation by no means rests on mere theory. ——+e0._____ Septomber. 2 Have you seen the pretty fairy Walking witha manuer ‘Through tue earthy Hang vines ov hat aud castle, dageriag where the corvestalk’s tassel ‘Nods in mirth?

Whether the shirts be plain or embroidered, the collars will be plain, and the shape the most fash- fonable_ Will have long turn down points. ‘The cuffs will also be witite, and fastened by links. ‘he colors of every-day business shirts will also be white, whatever the color of the shirt, and colored shirts will be as fashionable for Business dress as ever. White handker- chiefs, with narrow hemstitched borders, are the only things for dress, but narrow colored borders will appear on undress handkerchlets, Winter does uot bring much of any change in handkerehiois. As the tendency is toward quiet and unob- trusiveness in suits, the tendency in scarfs and ties 1s toward loudness. Scarfs and sults are complementary to one another, and the qulet suit leads up 10 a striking necktie, or the quiet necktie subdues the louduess of the suit. ‘Chis Year, the quietness of the sult necessitates brilliant scart. Broad tour-in-hands in solid colors, in stripes, or in solid colors with large Spots, are to be tue fashionable style of scart For those who do not or cannot tle their own scarfs, the same patterns are made up in different styles. Cuff buttons will not be worn this year, inks taking thelr place almost entirely. ‘These links, as a rule, will be of worken gola, heav: Pins this year are very small, and solid, Scart ladies und gentiemen wearing pins of tite sam flze and selecting them froth the same stocks, ‘The latest tings in scart pius are made in the shape of birds, beasts and conventional figures, such as dragous, cut from seu-shelis. ‘The tend” eney 1s toward Smail pins, stones in small set- tings being tastionable.’ ‘The wateh-fob will not be brought back this year, but a chain may be worn,even by the ultra‘fasblonable man with a Gress sult, But it should not be the chain that he wears ordinarily. ‘The dress chain. isa light, dainty, lute bitof jewelry, without any chatm atiuehment, just long enough to Teach comfortably from’ ine weurer'a buston- hole to his watch pocket, The smaller the studs a man wears in ls dregs shirt the better, und the nearer he comes to following the fash fou. Ouly two stads are shown, ‘Theonly article of men’s aitire that this year is to be more conspicuous than last year ia the canes that they will swing. Gold and silver headed canes are still correct, but they must be grotesque 2nd outlandish, the moreso the bet ter. ‘The “erate” head’ will remain, but the natural wood head will disappeur, as’will the plain silver head, and grotesque figures of ducks or frogs or moles will find their way into their owners’ moutus, where the old woocen Ones used to be. ‘The newest sticks ate of silver hazel and Baikan rose. ‘The former. comes from England, and, when polished, looks av 8 ort distance as tough 1t were irosted silver.
