cientiais can safely be left to argue whether the world has really changed shape, but the theory of uneven preasure exerted on its surface by the vagaries of ils revolutions, is quite consistent with the existence of an earth quake belt as put forward by Prof. Milne, Indeed, it was this suggestion that led up the recent attacks on our venerable ideas of an Grange-shaped planet.

THE TYPICAL EARTHQUAKE.

1

It is held by American scientists that many earthquakes are independent of volcanic ac sion, being due to the fracture and faulting of rock formations far from any action of recently extinct volcanoes, To this class Dr. Upham,· who lectured at the Victoria Institute only tea days ago, attributed the shocks of San Fran cisco and Valparaiso, and also "nearly all the great destructive earthquakes of which we have historical records.": Earthquakes, it is disconcerting to learn, are a sign of planetary vitality be typical earthquake, declared a writer in the Edinburgh Review," has nothing to do with volcanic action; it is a concomitant of the regular shrinkage of the earth's crust, which is continually going forward, without haste, but without rest, and which has been; mainly responsible for the moulding of the, earth's surface into the forms with which the geographer is now familiar.

THEY WILL BE ALWAYS, WITH PA, We now know, with practical cartainty, that' the earth on which we live is the product of a fery nebyla, which has been steadily losing heat by radiation from the surface, and, there fore, has been cooling and contracting. A solid crust formed over the entire surface, very long ago, and at once complicated the conditions" of the originally simple problem. The intensely hot core--which probably consists of matter in no state familiar to us, but of a true gas which is yet under so vast a pressure as to be może rigid than stem), has continued to shrink as it continued to lose beat. When once the solid crust was formed the shrinkage could no longer proceed without trouble, "A gas can shrink. with aquable-regularity; but a solid crust cas only yield by hits and starts. It la precisely these fits and starts that give rise to earth. quas actual machinery of an earthquake is sow say to understand," said the Edinburgh reylower, before the pear-shaped earth theorists added this new terror to living. The steady shrinkage of the inner core of the brings a lacreasing strain on the strata that kes few milas below the surface. Usually they yield in so slow and equable a fashion that only the tremors of the surface, impercepti. his to the unaided popsen, tell us what is going. on (Prof. Milna says there are about 30,000 of these annually). But now and then they re fuse to bond, and then they have to briak,"

In other words, there is an earthquake.— pkprying Teadar,
