From Charlotte Home-Democrat.

How much truth" there is in the follow

not to blame. But here is what the

"Judge Fowle does not disguise the

Certainly Ransom wtis not to blame,

Trunk railway. The contract with
that company calls for sixty Pullman
and forty Wagner sleeping coaches.
fifty regular passenger coaches and
twenty baggage cars. The first sec
tion of this remarkable train will leave
Chicago on Saturday at 9 a. m., and
the remaining sections of train will
leave every twenty minutes thereafter
until the entire party is on the move.

clear the tracksif all other traflic as
far as possible, and fast time will be
made to Niagara, where the first stop
will be made for breakfast the follow

going to the Odd Fellows' celebration
at Boston next week when the Sover-

are vainly trying to get lower rate for
everybody on all the lines. They en
tered into the contract with the Grand
Trunk for SI 3 for the round trip.
Since that date other competing roads
have made concession.
After the rates were arranged 75,000
circulars were sent out over the coun
try, asking the various orders to ren
dezvous at Chicago and from here
make a grand start for Boston.
Responses alreadv received indicate
that from 8,000 to " 10,000 of the fra

had been inclosed in a hollow bullet
and fired out from the beleaguered

were reduced. Charles the Bold of

An army of observation of the con
federates, posted beyond the ithine,
watched Charles' operations, hoping to
get an opportunitv or relieving the
town. The letter is from the commau
der, the Landgrave Hermann of Hesse,
who describes how the beseiged are
destitute of food and ammunition, and
have only stones for weapons and
water to live upon. They have no
medicines or surgical appliances, and
so the sick and wounded die without

Cause of Earthquakes.
THE THEORY OF THE REV. E. A. YATES
Sunday forenoon, at the temple of Israel,
Rev. E. A. Yates (of the Front street Meth
odist church) preached upon the subject of
Earthquakes' snd by request of friends
gave his views as to the cause of thos! ter
rible phcnomenia. While ihe main part of
the discourse was an application of the
suhjebt, the following views as to the-causc
were given.
"The revival of science that followed the
overthrow ot rtolcmaic astronomy gave
rise UKmany speculations and new hypoth
eses. The nnt active minds swept the Held
not only of investigation. lm of imagina
tion and even fancy. Laplace and Des
cartes were protfnnent in formulating
systems and theories which have come
down to us. That which has held the
inost prominent place in thepnblic mind
was the Laplacean theory, known, as the
nebular hypothesis. The theory ofearth
quakes was immediately based upon this.
That is to say, because the earth was
once iu an incandesant, or red hot,
melted state, therefore there must be
only a thin crust formed, upon Which we
dwell, while all the interior is an ocean
of melted matter. In round numbers,
the radius of the earth being rfbout 24,000
miles and the thickness of the crust
having been estimated all the way from
26 to 400 miles, this would leave au ocean
of melted matter on the interior at least
7,000 miles in diameter. The theory is
that the shrinking of the crust and the
movement of this ocean of melted matter
produces the fracture and waving of the
crust. It is more than probable that this
theory is false.
Without doubt the globe was once in a
red hot, melted condition. The fallacy
lies in supposing that it cooled only upon
its crust. The most eminent scientists
have exploded this fallacy. The well
known law of the convection of heat
would prevent any other permanent
cooling than that of the whole mass and
from the centre ; and when reaching a
certain point in the cooliug process, sol
idifying would begin at the centre. It is
not true that heat increases in a certain
ratio as we descend. This for years was
thought to be true, but modern research
ms shown its lalsity. bir Y in. Thomson,
Prof. Hopkins, Arch-deacon Pratt, and
others have in many ways shown that the
earth is solid,
Prof. (r. H. Darwin says: "On the
whole, we may fairly conclude that the
effective rigidity of the earth is as great
as that of steel."
And Prof. Winchell says : "It appears
probable, admittingthe general solidity
of the earth, that the internal tempera
ture does not continue to increase down
ward iu uniform ratio with the depth,
but the rate of increase diminishes."
That there is melted matter beneath
the earth's surface no one can doubt, for
volcanoes pour it out in rivers upon the
surface. But this melted matter is local,
and its production easy to be understood.
No matter how hot the internal depths
may he, the weight oi superincumncnt
earth will press it into solidity. The
philosophy of melting any given sub
stance is that tiie heat penetrates between
the particles and pushing them apart
these particles now, or, as we say, the
mass is melted by the heat. But great
weight upon this matter, where it cannot
escape laterally, overcomes the separating
power ot the heat, and torces the particles
back into solidity. It is very easy to see,
however, that at some point beneath the
surface of the earth this weight of pres
sure and the fusion point of temperature
would be coincidental, and we should have
a zone of melted matter all the way
around the globe at a certain distance
beneath the surface. And this is just
what would take place if the whole earth
had not cooled beyond the point of such
possible fusion.
It remains then to account for the
existence of melted matter beneath the
surface at different localities, and com
paratively in small quantities.
The slow process of cooling contracts
the globe. Prof. Mallet says, "that the
crushing effects of enormous lateral pres
sure resulting from the secular contrac
tion of the earth in its slow process of
cooling is amply sufficient to produce
local fusion."
This may operate to some extent, but I
am of the opinion that there is more
truth in the suggestion of Prof. Winchell,
who savs that "the tidal deformations" of
the more yielding portions of the earth
is the "source of the internal heat which
manifests itself in fluidity." However
the small quantities of melted matter
here and there within the earth may be
produced, the old notion of a universal
internal ocean of fire may be regarded as
exploded and obsolete.
We find then no cause of earthquakes
in this theory, and violent volcanic
eruptions are not earthquakes proper
and only produce a very limited effect,
inst as anv explosion at or near the
earth s surface will produce more or less
tremor in the adjacent parts.
Mv opinion is that earthquakes are
produced bv electrical disturbances in
the earth, which are similar to those
disturbances that take place above the
earth. And as the thunder storm comes
on to its culminating shock and passes
and dies away, and we hear and see from
the distance the last and fiual flashes and
muttcrings, so the electric storm within
the earth breaks into the awful shock and
catastrophe, and then passes and dies
away, and we feel for a greater or less
time the tremor and decreasing move
ments until the rest of equilibrium is
reached. There are many reasons for
believing that earthquakes are caused by
electrical disturbances..
1. We have seen that the old theory'
necessarily fails. Earthquakes may
produce volcanic overflow because it is
probable they may start into action the
eauses that produce volcanoes; but vol
canic action itself is too limited to produce
the phenomenon of earthquake.
During the recent disturbances the
electric display was immense. Railroad
bars, hinges and other iron material was
magnetized, needles deflected, the whir
ring sand in the atmosphere, electric balls
seen in many places, and the sensible
shock felt by nearly every person, whose
feet were ujon the ground.
The subsistence of land in any given
instance may be due to the fact that the
electric storm shatters and melts much
of the rocks and conglomerate matters
within the earth, and this forced through
elevations and fissures, particulaly on
ocean shores and sea bottoms, gives room
for corresponding depression . The heavy
weight of mountain ranges, according to
Prof. Winchell 's idea of pressure pro
ducing fusion, may account for volcanic
eruptions through the tUted rocks form- Old Mr. Bcntlv f reari gibe j arc r)-le20-ttarinMii-if

however small, is sufficient to produce a
bulging of its mass over a large zone
beneath the moon's path. It will readily
be seen what frictiou results from this,
between the partiqjes and masses .of
matter in juxtaposition, not only melting
matter for volcanic action, butprodm ing
electric disturbances that meet all de
mands f the theory.
This too, accounts
for the tolerably
y 24 hours ; that is
regular oscilation every
when the revolution of the earth upon its
axis brings the area of disturbance be
neath the moon. As the first recent
shock was about 10 p.n., so we may look
for some little tremors from 9 to 12 p. in..
and it may be at next new moon, when
the sun and moon are both pulling on
the same line.
An electric storm within the earth iSio
be dreaded more than such storms above
the earth, inasmuch as the disturbance
at the surface of the earth causes greater
destruction of life by falling buildings
than the disturbance of the atmosphere
above. But if we "were to see a thunder
storm for the first time, it would terrify
us as much as an earthquake. v hen we
get accustomed to earthquakes oscilla
tions (there is no wave) they will in
spire no more dread thau the cyclone,
and not as much. And we need have no
fear of a storm that has passed, however
long we may hear its muttcrings.
Curious Kansas Law In
Murderers.
Regard
'o
From the Cincinatti Enquirer.
The most curious law in the United
states dealing with punishment of
murderers exists in Kansas. The Leg
islature in 1872 passed a bill which
provided that any person convicted of
murder in the first degree should he
sent to the penitentiarv, there to
remain until tli governor of the State
signed a warrant for and fixed the date
of his execution. lhis vasa fearful
