A New. Tileor? of Earthquakes : «and Volceances. 45 ra 4 Many theories.all more or less un; satisfactory, have been advanced as to the cause of eartliquakes and.volcanoes. They bave all failed. beeanse the effects could. riot be accounted for from the causes assigued. Recently, however, Mr. Mallet has made public a theory w ich is competent torexplain all the facts which have hitherto been most perplexing. . . It isa recognized fact that the earth ‘is now gradually parting with its heat. The interior contracts-morfe yapidly than the relatively. cool crust, ° and he shows. that ‘this. shrinkage is competent to occasion: all the pheaomena. Inthe distant ages when the earth was still fashioning, the shrinkage produced the irregniarities of levelwhich we recognize in the elevation.of the land and the depression of: the oeean bed. ‘Then came the period when as the Gmast shrank it formed corrugations, in other words,,when the fuldings and elevations of the somewhat thickened orust gave rise to the mountain ranges of the earth. “Lastly, as the globe gradually lost its extremely high temperature, the continuance of . the same process of shrinkage led no longer to the formation of ridges and table-lands, but to loeal crushing down atid dislocation. i still going on, and Mr. Mallet not only, recognizes here the origin of éarthgjikes, and.of the changes of level now in progress, but the true gause of voleanic Heat, The modern theory of heat asa forirof motion here comes into play, As the~solid nucleus, the work expended in crushing down and dislocating the parts of the crust is transformed into heat, by’ which, at the place where the Jitocess goes on. With greatest. energy, ‘the material of, the rock. 56 crushed and of that adjacent to“it are heated even to fusion. Poses access of water to such points determines volcanic eruptions.””, Now ali‘this is not mere theorizing. Le confirmed by observation and experiment. what proportion of.the actual energy which must be developed as the earth contracts for the production of obIt is probable that nine-tenths of those who have read these lines would be _disposed to think that the contraction of . the earth must be far too slow to proS as those which we recognize in the volcano sod earthquake. But Mr. Mallet is uble to show, by calculations which vannot be disputed, that less than served volcanic phenomena. 0 ~ duce effects 50-5 -one-fourth of the heat at present an “~’ qawally lost by the earth is sufficien to account for the total annual vol eanic action, according to the best data at present in our possession. This would clearly not be the place to follow out Mr, Mallet’s admirable theory into all its details. We must . content ourselves with. pointing out Low excellently it accounts for certain peouliarities of the earth’s sur. Few that have studied carefully drawn charts of the chief mountain ranges.can. have failed to notice that the arrangement of tuese ranges does not accord with the ' idea of upheaval througli-the action . ef internal forces. But it will be at unce recognized that the aspect of the mountain ranges accords exaetly with what would be expected to result from euch a process of contraction as Mr, faceconfiguration. Mullet has indicated. ‘The shrivele ékin of.an apple affords no inapt representation of the corrugated surface of our earth, and according to the new theory, the shriveling ut such a ski ls precisely analogous to the pro<cesseua ab work upon the earth when iwountain ranges Were being formed. again, these are few students of geo ogy who have not found a source of perploxity in the foldings and overlap; ings of strat. in mowntainous reNo forces of upheaval seem «umpeotent to produce this arrangejueat.

He has measured and weighed. the forces of which he speaks. Heis able to tell precisely respecting earthquakes and volcanoes. We have. been accustomed . vaguely to regard these phenomena. as due to the eruptive’ outbersting power-ef the earth’s interior; we shall . now have to consider them as due to . the subsidence and’ shtinkage of the . earth’s exterior. — Mountains have) net been upheayed, but valley$ have . sunk down. And in another respect the new theory tends to modify views which have Been generally entertained in recenttimes. Our most emitient geologists have tanght that the earth’s internal forces may be us active now as inthe epochs when the mountain ranges Were ‘formed. head Mr. Mallet’s theory tends to show . that the volcani¢ energy of the earth is a declining force. Its chief action had.already been exerted when moun. taing began to be ‘formed; what’ re. mains now isbut the miziutest fraction of the~veteanic energy off the . . as the earth parts with: more and} more of its internal heat, the sources . of her subterfanean enérgy, are more . and more exhausted. The thought . once entertained by astronomers that . the earth might.explode like a bomb, . her, scattered fragments producing a . ring of bodies resembling the zone of . asteroids, seems further than ever from probability; if there ever was any danger of such a catastrophe,the . danger has long since pamsed away. _—— ><> ; A Bit of a Scrimmage. On Weduesday last a scrimmage . occurred at Glenbrook Park, between . James Peters and.Jobn Rial. The . on the stage. Jimmy Peters~ had . been abused by Rial in Crap ales, before the latter started for Nevada. The vilest epithets _w6re applied to . Peters, among thé vilest. of which . of the stage to get off. Rial weuld-not, but told Peters ‘to go up . ‘to Glenbrook _and there they would settle the mattén Peters went up, but Rial refused to get out of the stage or to retract his foulanguage. Peters got into the stage and track. Rial several blows, a conservativs re completely opposed to ordinary ideas . mountain-forming era;and each year, . the State, instead of allowing, them, we subscribe $6, wasason of 9~——. Peters prom-. ised Rial a Aicking for those words, "eet eee te ope te shrinking and thep“and there invited Rial, whu _ The Narrow Gauge Road. Considérable interest is felt by the community in this county in . the nafrow ghuge projevt. The press thtoughout the State is generally diseassing narrow gauge roads, and there seems to be-a@ growing opinion itt their favor. ‘The Marysville Appeal, speaking of this project, says:) The Grass Valley and Marysville . scheme remains in statu quo. The. proposition-was made to the people . that if $150,000 could be obtained in . subscriptions to -the stock, that capitalists in San Francisco stood ready . -to construct the road and furnish the ‘remainder of fands necessary. Grass Valley and Nevada City immediately subscribed for about $75,000, and here the matter was allowed:to drop, Marysville and the intervening coun} ty wot having been cal’ed.upon at all. There is no question butthe solution of the railroad problem, by which . competition and cheap tares and) freights are to be obtained, lies fA . the. emcouragement and .establishment of the narrow-gauge system. If the people of this county and selves to be fooled by -a cry of monopoly in the elections, would aid in theconstruction of such competing lines as would furnish* facilities for freight and travel at lower rates than we now obtain them, effort wo amount to. something. What <osts $2 50 on a broad gauge canbe carried on a narrow gauge ‘for $1,. and . such roads built at azfuch -less-cost are what the people of the State require. Let the people, ingtead. of thinking Luttrell ur Coggins, .or anybody €ise can aid them by legisJation” put their shouldeys to the whéel, build such roads, and thé cry so far as this State is concerned. The Nevada, Grasse Valley and Marysville road should be put through, and the people should take a hand in the work. If, as is stated, the com pany will agree to build the roadif per mile, the money should be y for that much stock in Nevada county, and Yuba should come up with its share. That is the way to get rid of. monopoly and open a cheap, easy and speedy line for freight and travel. Politicians may how] until they are hoarse, and the independent press may monopolize the type and paper.of the universe and elect Presidents, Con{kind of a whipping being administered. Peters’ case was placed in the hands of Justice Paynter. So says the Grass Valley Union. Cuarprne Acarnst Dancer.—-San Francisco has become alarmed by the terrible fire in Boston and is pre-paring to render her fire department still more efficient. Teo many pyebau-: tions cannot be taken te render secure property in that city, bat we do not think that a conflagration could rage as fiercely. there as in the Kastern cities. In Chicago and Boston, the buildings in the: burnt districts were five and six. stories high, the crooked and the fire engines were worked to great disadvantage.

Grass Valley and Nevada City immediately subscribed for about $75,000, and here the matter was allowed:to drop, Marysville and the intervening coun} ty wot having been cal’ed.upon at all. There is no question butthe solution of the railroad problem, by which . competition and cheap tares and) freights are to be obtained, lies fA . the. emcouragement and .establishment of the narrow-gauge system. If the people of this county and selves to be fooled by -a cry of monopoly in the elections, would aid in theconstruction of such competing lines as would furnish* facilities for freight and travel at lower rates than we now obtain them, effort wo amount to. something. What <osts $2 50 on a broad gauge canbe carried on a narrow gauge ‘for $1,. and . such roads built at azfuch -less-cost are what the people of the State require. Let the people, ingtead. of thinking Luttrell ur Coggins, .or anybody €ise can aid them by legisJation” put their shouldeys to the whéel, build such roads, and thé cry so far as this State is concerned. The Nevada, Grasse Valley and Marysville road should be put through, and the people should take a hand in the work. If, as is stated, the com pany will agree to build the roadif per mile, the money should be y for that much stock in Nevada county, and Yuba should come up with its share. That is the way to get rid of. monopoly and open a cheap, easy and speedy line for freight and travel. Politicians may how] until they are hoarse, and the independent press may monopolize the type and paper.of the universe and elect Presidents, Con{kind of a whipping being administered. Peters’ case was placed in the hands of Justice Paynter. So says the Grass Valley Union. Cuarprne Acarnst Dancer.—-San Francisco has become alarmed by the terrible fire in Boston and is pre-paring to render her fire department still more efficient. Teo many pyebau-: tions cannot be taken te render secure property in that city, bat we do not think that a conflagration could rage as fiercely. there as in the Kastern cities. In Chicago and Boston, the buildings in the: burnt districts were five and six. stories high, the crooked and the fire engines were worked to great disadvantage.
