THE Cirmi JOURNAL Dot.ii It (Iran Cnnstnntly Hotter from the Circumference to the CetiteiT Mnny scientific ruon are devoting their lives to finding out nil that can be learned about the interior of this won derful globo of ours. Ono of tlio inter esting problems on which thoy aro en gaged is tho depth and geographical limits of the permanently frozen soil. The British association has collected n large amount of data on this question. It lias already told us some curious tilings, Mioh as the- fact that excellent wheat lands north of Manitoba overlie fiwn eartli that never thaws. Si-inetimes geologists find strata of roclt that thoy are able to show must have been buried at a remote ago 20, 000 feet under the surface. Theso upturned edg;'s of rock, which some terrible convulsion- lifted to tho air, give us a glimpse of tho condition of tho interior Home way below tho greatest depth to which we can attain. Tho workmen in the deepest mines of Europo swoltor in almost intolerable heat, and yet they ha o never penetnrtcd over ono-sovon-thousandth part of the distance from tho surfaco to the center of tho earth. In the lower loveis of some of the Com stock mines tho men fought scalding water, and could labor only threo or four hours at a time, until the Sutro tunnel pierced tho mines aud drew ofl some of the terrible heat, which had stood at 120 degs. Tho deepest boring over made, that at Sporenberg, near Berlin, penotrates only 4,172 feet, about 1,000 feot deeper than tlio famous artesian well at St. Louis. Tho result of this imperfect knowledgo is that thero aro more theo ries and disputes among scientific men with regard to the interior, of the earth than about any other problem of physi cal science. Some eminent physicists, for instance, like Sir William Thomson, liavo bclioved that the crust of the earth is at least 800 miles thick. The majority adduce good reasons for be lieving that the crust is only twenty llvo to tlfty miles thick. All agrco that tlio temperaturo within tho earth con tinues to increase as it does near the surface at the rato of 1 deg. Fahren heit for about every flfty-flvo feot of descent. All igneous rocks must bo fused at no great doptli. In fact, at this rato of increase, tho temperaturo at 200 miles is 28,000 dogs. Fahrenheit, which is Professor Rosettl's estimate of tho probablo tem peraturo of the sun. It is improbable, however, that this rate of increase is maintained for a great distanco, and many physicists believe that at some unknown but not very great depth tho Increase In temperaturo ceases. Ono of the most wonderful things in the study of sciences is tho fact that tho mysteries of ono scionco aro sometimes completely or partly explained by knowledge gleaned in somo other de partment of study. It is thus that naturalists who have investigated tlio fauna and flora of scores of Pacific islands havo learned how far south Asiatio types prevail, and have added great weight to tlio conclusions of goologists that theso islands were onco a part of tho big con tinent nortii of them.

Ho is a heavily yet small built man, with an immenso head, crowned with an aureole of curly white hair, and a heavy fringo of tho same encircling his face, but ho keeps his chin severely clean shaven, a distinction also enjoyed by his upper lip. His eyes are said to possess an irro sistiblo charm, and aro described as "being of blue as deep as tho color of the sea on the shores of his beautiful native northland." Personally, ho Is a taciturn man of singularly strong Indi viduality, and In a recent speech saldt "I should not caro to exist if I had no opposition. Thero would then bo noth ing for mo to do.

Tho Kcouoiillst and all those who aro seeking to havo tho truth made known, and a change of methods iuauaurated, aro willing to rest their case ou this naked report, and on Its showing demand a change of condi tions. Tlio local editor of tho Corvallls Gazette thus Impales himself and very properly toe: "Tho young shoot who refuses to walk with a lady to church like a gentleman, and then expects her to recognize his requests out on the sidewalk, afier tho service Is over, ought to be given an upheaval of negative salu tations, and most ladies will do this, The writer admits that hois guilty of this rudoucHt himself, and he feels aw though he ought to have a fence rail poked through his abdo men for doing It." Tucomu Globe; Tho treasury lie. partment has prepared a statement of tho amount of money In the country and In circulation during tho past thirty yearn, which fully answers the complulnt that the per capita circulation Is less now than it was twenty-llvo years ago. It ap pears that the volume or the circu lation at the close of the war was greater than It had ever been before and almost as large us it ever be came until after the large Influx of gold that begun in 1870, Immedi ately after tho resumption of specie payments. But It Is now more than twice us large us it was then, Tho Increase In the amount of money has Uen so much greater than tho Increase In populullou that the clr- dilation per capita, which was $20.67 in 1865, Is now $25.45, aud the amount of money per capita has in the sumo period Increased from $22. 10 to $32 83. FROM A SORVKYOIt'S NOTEUOOK. After nu absenco of five months W. James Culver's surveying party (A. M. Taylor, I. I. Hcrrlck, P. Culver aud B. 11. Herrlck, Jr.) has returned from Ite surveying tour In the Coi9t mountains. The boys have a rugged appearance as though thoy had enjoyed the life of a moun taineer. It makes tho boys feel happy to get buck to God's country after roughing it nil summer, A great deal of time whb lost dur ing tho mouths of April, May aud June owing to so much rainfall. It rained every day ltiJunesavo Ave, The dry season in that part of the country is vory short, being from six to eight weeks and this season it did not exceed soveu weeks. Ow iug to so much rain aud heavy tim ber tho couuty road leading lrom Astoria to the Nehalein country Is only passable about two months in tlio year for teams. All other trans portation is done- by pack horses. Clatsop couuty has fow and very poor roads. This featuro being ouo of tlio greatest drawbacks to the t witling up and developments of tho country. A good railroad would do the people of that part of tho coun try inor' good than any ono thing. Not an Astoria to South Coast, but a company that could build a road out of tho city limits. Tho train on this road is composed of two cars, which resemble box cars, drawn by an old englno that works like it was ready to go to tlio scrap pilo. Tho road is so rough that tho looks to tlio baggago havo been shaken oO' and a pick or crow bar supplies their places. A person wishing to tako a trip over tho road should take a life preserver along, something for Instance, like a base ball mask and pad for protection when rounding tho curves. Ono of tlio parly while going over lost n pair of shoes. Moro than likely they slipped out of tlio car whilo tho baggago master's attention was called to something else. The contract Just finished by the above mentioned surveyor, three uud one-half townships, Is all taken that Is of any valuo. Somo of the settlers in that part of tho country havo been waiting flfteon to twenty years for tho land to bo surveyed. Tho settlers uloug tlio Llttlo Fish hawk, Baneko creek, Necanicum and Nehalem rlvor havo somo splen did hay and stook farms. Tho most of tills country is valuless except for Its timber. Tlio nioHt promlnont peaks vlsltod by tho party were Saddle and Hum bug mountains. Tlio former Is so called from its top resembling a saddle. From tho tup of this moun tain a magnificent view can bo had, Hitch as the Columbia, Nohalcm, Lewis A Clark and Young's rivers, Mt. Hood and several other snow capped mountains, tho light hotiso, Fort Canby, tho ocean uml Colum bia river bar, till of which can be scon from tills point. Its height Is about 4000 feet abovo tho sea lovel. Tho latter mountain was named from Humbug creek. This stream was so called by the parties while surveying tho military trail from Astoria to Forest Orovo, While in near Saddle mountain somo of them were lost and undertook to find their way out to tho settlement by follow ing tills stream, It being vory crook ed caused them to cross It a great many times uud after reaching tho settlement thoy said they were humbugged by that creek.

STANLEY Wllil. KESIOK. London, Sept. 25. It la truo, as has been frequently stated, that Henry M. Stanley nover nccopted tho governorship of tho Congo Freo State, but early in tho present year ho promised to consider the question of taking tlio position, llecontly King Leopold of Belgium, nt Stan ley's suggest ion, oilercd tho place to a German, Van Wizman, but It was declined. After this It was again pressed upon Stauloy, who was urged to tako it at practically his own terms. It is notorious that Leopold believes Stauloy to bo tho only man who could make tho Con go oxperlmont a profitable ono. So anxious was tho king to havo Stan ley tako tho oillco that ho oilered to pay the 10,000 forfeit which would bo due tho Melbourno impreasarlo, Smyth, if Stanley should break his co'ntraot to lecture In Australia. Stanley was quite recently half dlt posodjto ciiaugchls mind and return toCougo.lf only for tlio opportunity that would bo atl'orded of settling old scores with Tippoo Tib, who has lately beon oponly vllllfylng Stanley at Zanzibar, probably emboldened by tho belief that tho rcdoHbtablo explorer would nover return to Africa. Mrs. Stanley was quite pleased wttli tho Idea of occupying a semi-regal throne, but her mother would not hear of it, and it is statid by tho peoplo who ought to know that Stanley yielded to his niother-lu-law in tho matter, but himself, as well as his wife, were Inclined to go. In tills connection It may Lo stat ed that the strong lnlluouco of his inothor-in-law over the explorer baa beon n subjet of cousldorablo com ment recently. Gossip has It that tho uon arrlyal of a ycarned-for little Stunloy Is Mrs-Tennant'sgrlovance, and that tho exhibition of her diurnal hopes and fears In tills re spect is quite common. It Is known In Brussell that somo of tho ablest olllcers In tho Congo country will re sign if Stanley becomes governor, Long anil bloody war with tho Arabs may also bo countod upon, as tho result of assuming control of af fairs in that region. When Smyth was In Loudon recently ho refused to (1IbcIo.su tho terms of his contract with Stanley, but tho figures aroun. duulably large, and it Is bolloved by persons famlllurwlth Australian mat ters that tlio improssarlo will lose money on tho venture unless ho succeeds In doing what hud noyer been dono before that Is inducing tho Australians to pay more to hear a lecture than other entertainments given. Tho highest price obtainable for seats every whoro In Australia is five shillings, uud the only star who ever commanded moro was Bern hardt. Mrs. Potter tried It and made an iguonionlus failure, desplto her popularity. Stanley will return to England after his Australian trip, via Sun FrunciHco, in Juuuury, THKOATIIOMO QIIIlMANS. BiiitMN, Sept. 21. Much Interest Is felt utiiong Catholic Germans re garding tho united action taken by German Catholic clergymen iu America to promote tho welfaro of themselves uud their congregations. There Is said to bo a growing feeling among German Catholics that tho American hierarchy ought to be more Germanic than it is and that an equitable preponder ance of tho higher dignities of tho church in America Is bestow ed upou Catholics of Celtic origin. The German Catholics In America have a powerful lever at Home lu the person of tho Prussluu mliiUter, Dr. Mchlover, whohaagotlnlluencts with the Human pontiff, and dots not hesitate to use it in behalf of Germans at homo uud abroad.
