wmsiram Our Planet’s Core Is Liquid, Yet It’s as Rigid as Steel. UNDER ENORMOUS PRESSURE Neither Rock Nor Metal Could Remain There In the It on the Surface —The Lava That Breaks Through the Earth’s Crust. The idea that the interior of the globe is composed of flowing lava has long since been abandoned, but the picture that modern science offers of the inside of the earth is hardly less appalling. All investigations unite to prove that the heat increases as we descend deeper in the terrestrial crust at such a rate that forty or fifty miles down no substance with which we are acquainted could remain unmelted. And yet the same science tells us that the core of the globe is enormously more rigid than the hardest steel. This apparent contradiction is due to the tremendous pressure inside the earth. No rock and no metal can remain there in the state in which we see it on the surface. Its molecules must lose the adherence characteristic of solid bodies in consequence of the heat, but still they are not free to flow like an ordinary liquid, because of the compressior to which they are subjected. The phenomena of earthquakes havt given wonderful information about tht internal state of the globe. All ob serrations show that the shocks ol earthquakes are confined to a thin up per shell. They originate at a deptt of only a few miles at the most. Bui the vibrations which they set goinj are felt all through the earth, often ex tending to the antipodes. The great core, held rigid by the pressure, is ex tremely elastic, and it responds to s shock like a ball of steel or of glass The density of the earth increases toward the center. It is only in the upper part of the crust that local movements can take place, causing shocks and changes of level at the surface. Deeper down everything is gripped and Immovable, except, as already remarked. that the molecules of the rocks and metals there are subject to vibration like those of a bell against which a blow is struck. But this is not all. Whenever a local release from the pressure is brought about by changes near the surface the potentially liquid but effectually solid core at that point may suddenly become fluid and gush forth through a volcanic throat or other vent. But such effects cannot extend to any great depth. Nothing comes to us from the vast interior mass. That remains a perpetual mystery, far beyond the searching hand of science. Indirectly, however, we may learn much about it. Astronomical considerations throw a great deal of light upon the subject. We see that through the planetary system rotating globes are flattened at the poles. The same thing is true of the earth. Its equator bulges; its polar regions are drawn inward. Mechanical laws assure us that the cause is to be found in the fact that the earth and the other planets have assumed shape under the influence of the centrifugal force of their rotation. That force is necessarily greatest at the equator. Beginning as completed molten bodies, they have commenced to solidify at the surface after having assumed an elliflordal form due to theii rotation. Another very significant fact is that the shape of the earth corresponds witl that which a globe rotating with its velocity would have if composed 01 materials arranged To their densitythat is to say growing denser towarc the center. The heaviest materiali must be deep down in the globe; th< lighter materials have remained at th< surface. This again corresponds wit! the facts of observation. We knov the total “weight” and the averagi density of the earth. It “weighs” si; Sextillions of tons, and its averagi density is five and a half times that o water. But the substances composini the crust of the earth have an averag density of twice that of water. I follows that the heaviest things in th earth, on the average, exist deep with In its exterior. For all that we ca; tell, its inner core may be wholly me talllc. At the center there is probabl; an enormous aggregation of dense me talllc substances. 1 An indication that the inner parts o the earth consist largely if not main! ‘•r iron is to be found in the mas net ism of the globe. The earth is great permanent magnet. If we cool learn the facts it might turn out tha iron is the most abundant substanc in the solar system and perhaps 1 the whole universe. The majority c the meteorites that fall upon the eart consist of solid iron. Blow the eart to pieces and in the resulting clou of fragments the rocks that we ar familiar with would be almost impel ceptible. There would be a rain o iron and other metals descending upo the moon and upon any other attract ing body in the vicinity. This view of the interior of th globe disposes of the notion, so pictui esquely developed in one of Jule Verne’s romances, of the existence o vast cavernous openings in the intc rior of the earth. Such void space! though on no large scale, may exls in the upper part of the crust, but no at a great depth. The earth is el fectively more solid than a cannoi ball, and the movable rocks compos ing its crust are like a film of rust 01 the hard metal.—Professor Garrett P Serviss in New York American. i It is better to become great than tt born great—Proverb.
