That we mav the more clearly I rrmeii b" lhe contact of water with the subterunderst,d the aubiect, it "will be recessarr ! ra':M" hfat through which lava is forced

to make some inquiry into the past an present conditions of the Earth. It is now almost universally admitted by learned and scientific, men, who have made the subject of geology the principal study of their lives, that at some former period, the whole of our globe was a liquid mass in a state of fusion, except that part of it which now constitutes water, and the various g.ssses. The evidences that the metalic mass of the globe was in a perfect stat. of ! r - . ... . . Fuii.iiv, trt.m intense neat al some former period,and since Its diurnal revolutions were per- I formed in the same period that they now are, are very numerous. The want or time, howev- j er, will prevent me from entering into a detail : ol these, evidences at the present time. I will therefore ouiy state a few facts in the great rhaia of evidence, which have eutirely convinced my mind, and thousands of others, of the rnrrectii-ss of this theory. The form of the r.irth ;b-iogan oblate spheroid is exactly that which it would assume, if, while in a fluid state, it commenced to revolve upon its axis w itii its present Telocity. The Earth, you are aware, is flatted at the polls, and presents something Uie figure ofa grjiu'stone, (to use a homely compdiison) though much tiiicher iu its polar diameter. Its motion upon its axis is also similar to that of a swiftly revolving grindstone with a doable cutting surface or rounded face, making its equatorial or vertical diameter greater than the horiiontal. Mauy cf you have observed, I have i.o doubt, that, when a certaiu degree of veWity has been given to a revolving wh.-el or ito ie, you may pour water upon it, which, instead of runnitg off latterally upon the two inUued planes, rushes up to the centre ridge, and is Ihere thrown off. mostly towards the Earth, by the combined action of centrifugal power aud gravity. This would not be the case if the wheel, hke the earth, were plared iu a situation where the attraction upon ail sides was eqaal. The fluid globe, ,rl,n u c,,lmenrej it3 v. olutious, had ail the advantages of attraction withiu itself, which was nearly sufficient to counteract the centrifugal force and prevent solution uf .us sul.,uuce. Hence, the cause of ils oblate form is obvious. Another evidence of the truth of the Hutonian theory, as it is called, is Uie fact that the -heat increases one degree for every 4a feel that e descend Into the earth, an i not oue exception to this increase of internal temperature has ever occurred, where the xperiiiient 1ij8 been nvtde in deep excavations." At this rate of increase, a heat sufhVient to boil water would be reached at a depth of 5yfJ2 fet, which is a liitl more than a mile: a heat f 7000 degree. sulBcieut to melt all kuown locks, wouid be reached at 43 miles and at the Nctk -In rtply tothecommi.ter, a,kinr a copv nr t.kitil irsi...i 1 1.

' i J " , as a crust completely surrounding the globe was formed, the proeess of cooling became extremely slow, as we may infer, for the crust which soon forms upon molten lava, is a good nonconductor of heat This is clearly proven by the fact that the matter ejected by an ernptiou of JoruIIo in Mexico ; not vet become cool. of JoruIIo in Mexico about 100 year, ago, has !
