To be at par with gold, silver must
be worth 5td per English standard
ounce. Silver has not been at that
valuation since 1875. In July 1870 it
was as low as 4 -iJ, equal to 1.01.8.
Since then it has been as high as57;':i,
-which was the rate on the 1st of Feb
ruary 1878, but for the past year it has
not been above r5d, while at times it
lias fallen below -19d and is now quot

our readers of the past year will bear j

The Crust of the Earth.
BY THEO. M. I.EMOX.
It is supposed by our wise men
that at the beginning the earth con
sistcd of a mass of molten matter in
a state of intense heat. As time
passed on it gradually cooled by the
heat radiating and passing oft" into
space; the surface cooled first and
formed a crust. That part of the
earth which has become solid by this
process of cooling, is what we call
the crust of the earth. Heat sepa
rates the particles of matter in all

substances. The crust of the earth
like the shell of an egg, but it covers
a mass of intensely' hot fluid matter.
This crust is supposed to vary from
twenty to two hundred miles thick.

nineteen parallel seams of coal,

times. The crust of the earth is one
great storehouse from which we
daily draw fresh supplies. From the
j rjijS t,f the hills and mountains from
the generous and hidden recesses of
earth man is ever thawing the nec
essaries and comforts of life. The
miner abandons the beauties and
comforts of home, perhaps leaves
loved ones in a distant land, adopts a
rough . garb and encounters many
haldsliips, nay, dangers, that he niay
dig into the bowels of the earth and
bring forth its treasures of yellow
gold and pale silver, mediums of
prosperity and comfort in every land.
The hauly coal digger, whose face is
1 th(j color of
night and whose gar
ments are anything but beautitul,
works in deep and dangerous pits,
sending up coal great black masses
which will make comfort in thous-
! amis of homes, and by the warmth of
I which bright eyes will sparkle and
sweet music fall.
