NEW AND REMARKABLE GEOLOGICAL
•
THEORY.
A Cambridge geologist, Mr. W. Robinson,
s lately propounded a theory of geology
hich seems to us well deservihg attention.
is statement of the theory is so concise
at we have to quote almost verbatim. He
mmences by stating, what is the fact,
at geologists have not yet helihritbrate
plain the recent submersion of , trie,..l4esert
Sahara, neither have they giVen. :any
big, approaching to a satisfact:oty.At'bount
the drift, and bon Id d ers vf,l4ch-itbound on
e earth's surface. He then peodeeds:—
Prof. Hansen'—o probably the most emi
,at authority among 'living astronomers
,on the lunar theory":----belleves that the
son's centres of gravity and magnitude do
t coincide; an therefore r the-herai-,
h ere we See hafges into a mountain too
h for water, atmosphere, or. life —the
),er hemisphere" being proportionately, de
,:ssed. If there be water on the moon, it
p st be alit on the depressed side, where
ere may be also abundance of life. More
`er, the moon rotates once only while re
r, lying round her- primary, the
light of this world never reaches her
ther side. Now, it is qUite conceivable
• t her divided centres should be made to
nei(lo, and thdt She': ghoul& be• miadi to ,

their shape :and --motion 'were effected,

,they rolled.
short, in these and variOlitibilier ways, if
II an alteration as has been supposed were
take place, there would be left evidence.

tt the geological difference between the

the same latitude in the great sand-bank of
the Bahamas. Geologists have failed to find
a cause for these phenomena. Now, if the
waters were before the existing era all in the
north, they found their coast-line at or near
the latitude 'where the land rose above the
mean level. Clouds would pass from them
southward to a greater or leas distance, ac
cording to the Bteepneas or slownessof the
rise ofthe ground; and the region of perpetual
snow and glaciers would then 'be not near
the North Pole;' hut toward the equator,
leaving ,an extensive .district between .the
sea-shore and the icy heights to be covered
with vegetable and animal life. Thus may
we, by the theory now propounded, account

ancient ocean which have hitherto baffled
all reseireb.

their journey over the Rocky Mountains,
they describe, both " verbally and pictori&ly-,
a bill rising:from the left bank of the ricler
Thompson. 40 or 50 'feet above the bank
is a very broad terrace; 60 or 70: feet higher
a second, and 400 or 500 feet above the river
a third. They are not masses of sand- like
the Sahara; but are eoinpoSed: of shale;sand

what then ? Is it to be assumed, despite the
evidence, that the entire _framework of the
globe has not been shaken . because we do
not understand bow it, could be shaken ?
Orbigny, an aathority equal to Mr. Darwin

DR. T. Ar.Lcocw—Sir: I have been suffering under a se

hypertrophy of the 'heart, and bade tried everything known
to the practice of medicine from the very best !CD's., but
truth prompts me to say that your plasters have given me
more permanent relief than anything else I have used, and
I believe will produce aperfect cure.
The counter-irritant effect of your plasters is produced in
such : a mild and graflual way, , they so invigorate the circu
lation around the partsto which they are applied, and ex
ert upon'all.nerirous diseases such a great sedative influence,
that I place them confidently at the head of every plaster
now in use. • , - .
