THE EARTH CRUST
Its Density. Its Thickness and the
Pressure It Exerts.
A BkR TO WORLD EXPLOSION, i
Tha Reasons Why This Old Planst of
Ours, With All Its Ptntup Fury,
Voloanie or Giou Forcss at Work.
Could Novar Ba Blown to Fragmants.
Some writers have accounted for the
asteixilds on the theory tbnt they are
the fragment of a world that from
some uuknown rauae bas bocu explod
ed In Its orlilt. Similarly, m,any have'
tbousbt that perhaps at some distant
time, wheu the seas shall have been
drunk up Into the cracked und thick
ened crust of the uge shrunken earth
and the volcanoes those vents of the
8ery Interior shall have become chok
ed und extinct, the pentup gases gener
ated from the descending moisture by
toe still (treat Internal beat may ac
tually explode the old earth like a
veritable bombshell.
But that can never happen.
In 1383 Krakatoa, a sleepy old vol
cano on a small Island . In the strait
of Sunda. between Java and Sumatra,
began to show marked signs of uneasi
ness. Round the volcano the quaking
earth opened enormous Assures In, the
bottom of the sea. down which rushed
Niagaras of water. Then the Assures
closed and confined the engulfed flood
In tbe hot subterranean depths. The
water was quickly converted Into
steam, tbe steam Into dissociated
gases, without room for expansion.
It exertel a pressure equal to that
of the strongest dynamte.
Tbe great chimney of Rrakntoa.
sealed since tbe memory of man,
barred the normal path of escape.
Higher and higher mounted tbe pres
sure under the bilge mass of tbe vol
cano; then, nf a suddeu. iume a blast
that actually shook tbe enrtb. Never
before In historic time bad there been
sui b a shock The whole top of tbe old
mountain vrus blown Into the sky. The
recoil wiim distinctly felt clear through
the terrestrial hall.
This great cataclysm has been cltedj
as an inaicntion or me power or me
pentup forces that may some day dis
rupt the earth Itseir. Let us examine
the underlying principles that must
guide us In pnsslng Judgment on the
correctness of this theory.
An explosive compound is a combust
ible combined mechanically or chem
ically either with oxygeu or. with an
oxidizing KUDstance that wlll'luiru with
out tbe help or atmospheric oxygen.
Among tbe most powerful high ex
plosives are ultrogeliiQn and picric
acid, each of which bas a density more
than one and a balf times tbnt of
water. Tbe products of their combus
tion are nearly all gaseous, whereas the
products of the combustion of ordinary
black gunpowder are less than balf
gaseous. Tbe larger part Is tbe solid
matter that makes tbe smoke.
Tbe energy that a high explosive can
exert depends ou the volume of tbe
gases liberated and tbe temperature to
which the beat of tbe explosion can
raise them
The exact temperature of the gases
liberated by a bigb explosive at the In
stant of detonation Is notabsolutely
known, but may be approximately
learned through chemical experiment
Nor is the amount or pressure known
wltb uusolute certainty. It is probable,
however, that nitroglycerin, nltrogela
tin and plctic arid, wben detonated In
a confined space, exert a pressure some
where betweeu 3IK).(X)0 and 600.000
pounds to the sijuure Inch. '
If we assume tbat the earth crust
bus a density five limes tbat of water
and that Its average thickness Is fifty
miles, then It follows that It exerts a
pressure or mure than .MKI.imni pounds
to the siiinre Inch: If the crust is n
hundred miles thick, tbeu the pressure
is more than a million oiiiids to the
sipi.-ire iiK-b ii pressure certainly great
er than the expansive force exerted by
the most powerful high explosive
Plainly, no quantity of high explosive
lietoiuitcii under the crust of the earth
uoiiii le able to lift It. and consequent
v we know that no world of the size
f I he earth " tin ever explode from lb

'" PLINY'S COUNTRY HOMES.
The Famous Roman Lovad tha Luxu

I 'liny gives us a minute aud lovlnt
picture of his country homes of Couio,

And charmed ui young, no linear young

libraries, porticoes, sitting rooms fot
the day and for the night, for com
pany, for privacy; chambers looking
out upon tbe wide prospect, sea or
stars, chambers hidden and secluded,
"where no noise of busy, people comes;
no murmur of tbe waves, no tumult of
the storm, nor glare of lightning nay,
if you wish, not even the light of day,
wben the shutters are closed;" trim
gardens, wltb dowers and fruit and
shade, and over tbe whole dwelling
gladsome vines, creeping from roof to
roof up to tbe highest peak of all.
Tbey knew what luxury was, those
wealthy Romans, and l'liny was by
no means one of the wealthiest
We bear not only of Pliny's abodesi
but of bis friends and he was a man
to have many of them. The most
august was the Emperor Trujan him

inces of Hltbynia and Pontlca. Tbe
most Interesting of these deal with
the treatment of the Christians and
show the attitude of a humane and
kindly Roman gentleman toward those
who. he felt, most be punished, not
because they held outlandish beliefs,
but tiecnuse tiff refused to recognize

ORIGIN OF A FRENCH DISH.
Tha Order Michalet Received and tha
Way Ha Filled It.
Tbe nnuies bestowed Uou certain
dishes havo often un origin entirely dis
tinct froai technical consideration.
This Is true of the well known epl
grammes d'agneau a la Mlcbelet or a In
Toulouse, as It was more frequently
called. Mlcbelet wns the cook "of u
young French marquise of the century
who was noted for her lack ot educa
tion. On a certain occasion she gave a din
ner to tbe olllcers of tbe regiment
Cbolseul-Cavalerle. During the func
tion ber guests spoke of a banquet that
tbey had attended on the previous
evening, at which the host had enter
tained them with many new and bril
liant epigrams. Tbe marquise supposed
that "epigrams" referred to culinary
surprises. Consequently she summoned
Mlcbelet. her cook, and ordered .him to
prepare some epigrams for dinner on
the following day.
Mlcbelet was greatly troubled as to
how be was to obey the order. lie recol
lected, however, that be bad In the
larder some very superior lamb. He
braised the breast, removed the bones,
cut tbe meat Into pieces and bread
crumbed and fried them. He then
cooked the cutlets, arranged them on a
dish alternately with the braised breast
and served them with a suitable gar
nish under the name of eplgrammes
d'agneau a la Mlcbelet, by which name,
or a la Toulouse, tbe concoction haj
since been known.
The Tonguea of tha Balkans.
Too many languages are spoken li
the Balkans. A traveler In tbat region
writes of the batiel: "Turkish, Bulga
rian. Serbo-Croatian, Roumanian, Ar
menian, Greek. Albanian, Kulxo-Wal
lachlan, Chlugcnt, tbe language of the
gypsies: Spsnlole, the language of tbe
jews of Spanish or Portuguese descent,
and tbe language spoken by tbe Ger
man, Austrian, Roumanian and Rus
sian Jews. Add to this Arabic, Persian
and Syrian, largely spoken In Constan
tlnople; Italian, on the northeast cosst
of tbe Adrla; Russian, In the northeast
ern parts of Roumauia; various Austro
Hungarian Idioms spoken In Bosnia
and Herzegovina and the Caucasian
languages of the Circassians and Geor
gians." Not one of these languages la
of common use.
"" COURT ETIQUETTE. ""
Multy Millions Fractured It and Lost
His Diplomatic Pott.
A witty New York sm-iety man said
at n dinner, apropos of court etiquette:
"('iirt etiquette K after all, very
like ordinary etiquette- the luws of
common sense govern it.
"Ild yon ever hear how Multy Mil
lions lost bis under secretaryship at
our legation in London? Multy de
served bis fate. Ills common sense
was lamentably lacking.
. "Jt happened venrs flmlyenrs ago.

King Edward had )ust come luto bis
own. aud Multy Millions was dining
for the first time at Buckingham pal
ace. "The dinner was a state one. Tbe
splendid gold plnte from Windsor
glittered on table and sideboard. To
Multy. wheu the entremets cane on.
the deaf Queeu Alexandra said:
".'How king have you been living
abroad. Mr. Millions r
Four years, uiu'ani.' Multy replied
In a loud voice, for he knew enough,
of course, to speuk high aud to say
ma'am.' .
" 'What? I did not bear," said Queen
Alexandra.
" -Four years, ma'am.' Multy shouted.
"But she repented. 'What?1
Then Multy leaned forward, and,
with a polite and amiable smile, be
waved four Biiger to and fro before
Queen Alexandra's face. .
"He resigned tbe next morning."

" SPEED OF SOUND.
An Eaay Method of Judging the Dis
tance It Travels.
There Is an old saying that If you
(an count five between the Bash and
the thunder you are safe. . Modern
science tells us tbat If you' can see the
flash at all you are safe, because if It
truck you you would have no time to
tee It. Tbe speed of lightning Is about
ISO times that of sight.
Tbe old Idea was tbat If you could
count Ave the storm was a mile away.
which was considered a safe dlstnnce.
Sound travels at tbe rate or 1.142 feet
s. second, or about a mile in Ave sec
juds. In order to count seconds ac
curately many photographers start by
saying to themselves: "No one thou
sand, une one thousand, two one thou
sand, three one thousand." etc. This
gives about tbe right space between
tacb count of one. two. three, etc.. if
you stop at the number of seconds yon
want to time. With a tittle practice
with a watch beside you this Is ac
curate up to half a minute or more.
ir'you see a steam whistle blowing
snd note the instant It stops you can
count the seconds until you lose the
sound, and by allowing a fifth of a
mile for each second you can judge the
distance. Tbe same is true of guns,
or an explosion, or even of hammering
or uuy loud sounds. New York Press.
