The existence of vu!eanies, geysers and Lot springs irregnlarly scattered over the whole surface of the globe and continu ally (j'.vtiBg molten rock, ashes, steam, mud or hot water u an obvious indica tion of some wideepread source of heat within thearth, but of the nature or or igin of that heat they give little positive information. The beat thus indicated Las been sup posed to be due to macy causes, such as the pressure and friction caused by the contraction of the cooling crust, chemical action at great depths beneath the sur face, isolated lakes of molten rock due to these or to unknown causes, or to a mol ten interior, or at least a general su Stra tum of molten matter between the crast and a r. oasibly solid interior. The two first cuases are now generally admitted to be inadequate, an I our choice ia practically limited to one of the latter. There are also important evidence of internal beat derived from the universal phenomenon cf a fairiy nr-iform increase of temperature in ell dfep we!:., mltte?, borings and tunnels. The increase Las been usnally reckoned as one degree Far- enhelt for each ' fcet of descent, tut a recent very careful estixa e by Profesr Prestwitcb, derived from the whole available data, gives one d:-grce Fahren heit for every 47.5 feet cf defcer.L It is a curious indication of the sci versallty of this increase that even in the coldest parts of Siberia, where the soil is frozen to a depth of tl0 feet, there is a attaJy increase ia the temperature of this frt z n soil from the surface down ward. Much Las been made by some writers of the local differences of the rate ot in crease, ry :rg from oce degree in twenty-eight to one degree in ninety -five, and also of the fact that in some places the rate of iccreaee diminishes as the depth Deceases greater.
