The heat of the sun never penetrates
more than 100 feet below the earth's
surface, and at which depth the thermo
meter remains at 62 degrees F.. through
out the year, whether in the Arctic or
Tropical " zones. Downward from 100
feet even 66 feet meane a gain of one
degree of heat and 10,000 feet it is esti
mated water would boil. At a distance
of 30 miles all rocks in the crust wou'd
melt It is improbable that the same
rata of tempepatura increase continues
to the earth's center, because that would
give a heat vastly beyond conception.
We know that in the borings of mines
heat increases with depth. Tns large
number of hot lakes and geyser springs,
numerous volcanoes in various pares of
the world, are certain indications that a
vast amount of heat still lies beneath the
earth's surface. Not long ago supposi
tion was that the interior of the earth
was a vast ocean or molten rock, sur-
ledge of physical laws has led to the
belief that the earth is more rigid than a
globe of steel of similar size. If the earth
