He did not know me, and I chatted with him about you, and myself and him, and it went down like a pill taken in apple sauce.' Lydia laughed heartily to think how the rivals had each other, each believing all the time, that the game was all on his own side, and White laughed too at the thought of having played such a game on Brown. Brown was the only one that did not laugh. The thought of having been made such a fool of, didn't, by any means, in. spire him into a merry mood. ' I can't stand this,' thought he, scowling at the key-hole. 'I mast have my turn now. White may take my place here in the dark if he likes, and i will step into the sitting room.' He stole cautiously out to the back door, and proceeded around the house. A moment after, Lydia and her dear White, who were having a fine time of it, heard the sound ol footsteps approaching towards the door.

INDEMNITY ' Well, I'll "go pretty soon, but 1 must finish telling you how I bluffed off your dear friend White ' From observations made in more than three hundred places in different portions of the globe, it is found that the'degree of internal heat increases about one degree of Furenheit to about cvbry 45 feet. Supposing it to increase in the same ratio, at the depth of 24 miles, the heat would be sufficient to melt,iron or any known substance. And this internal heat, be the cause what it may, is the source of all the great changes occurring on the surface of the earth, and sufficiently accounts for the volcanic strata which are found 3,000 feet above other rocks on the tops of mountains. The mountains thrown up by volcanoes in South America, Lyell estimates as equal to 363 millions of the largest of the Egyptian pyramids, and displaced beneath the surface of the earth an amount of matter that could not be impluced by all the sediments from the Ganges in 1600 years. A single eruption of the volcanic mountain or Jokul, in Iceland, threw out a stream of lava 00 milea long, and oil an average 15 miles broad, and 150 feet deep, and would have covered to the depth of forty feet, 700 square miles. As a conclusion from these, and many other like facts, Mr. Lyell says that the earth thus undermined must ultimately cave in. If the earth then be a great volcanic pile, feeding itsowu fires by chemical decomposition, and the water of the ocean is decomposed into its own elements of oxygon and hydrogen, when the final conflagration comes, it will only be the result oI agencies which are now at work in the earth, and Mr. Lyell might well ex. claim in the words of Pliny, that it is a wonder a single day should pass without a universal conflagration.
