and great detective ability, which will

Destrruction of the Earth.
According to the testimony of Pro-
fessor R. D. Hitchcock, in a recent
number of the Bibliotheca Sacra, philo-
sophers have little cause to sneer at
Peter's prophecy, that "the •heavens
and earth shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with
fervent heat ; the earth also, and -the
works that are therein shall be turn-
ed up."
In an article on "the relations of
Geology to Theology," he says : "The
earth contains within itself the agencies
necessary to its disiolution by Its
crust supposed. to be several miles
wtile the interior is in a state of
fusion like lava. The three hundred
active volcanoes on. the crust are the
breathing holes of the internal fire.
At present counteracting- agencies
prevent this lava from breaking forth.
But let the order be issued for its liber-
ation, and these vents belch forth
fire and (-• ,glition. The works of man
in which we take so much pride, may
be crumbled. in a mdment by the con-
cusSionfof the crust. Liberated gases
may combine explosively with the oxy-
genin the air, so that the hea.vens
should pass away with a great noise."
He mentions in confirmation of the
above statenients, the well known fact
of certain stars suddenly beaming very
brilliant and then gra,dually fading to
their dirtiness. No Tenger ago than
May of last year, a remarkable case of
this kind occurred. A star of the
ihth magnitude, in the second con-
Atllation called the Northern Crown,
all at once blazed into at star �f the se-
c md magnitude, and. in twelve days
declined again to its original rank.
From a careful observation. conducted
by experienced astronomers, indications
were obtained that this star - liad, been
suddenly enwrapped in flames of burn-
ing hydrogen." In. consequence • of
Sore convulsion, it may be enormottia
quantities of gas were set free. A
large part of this gas consists of h3-
drogen, which was burning about the
star iu -ceiombination ,with some other
element. As the free hydrogen be-
came exhausted, the flames gradually
abated, and the star waned down to its
former brightness. It -seeraS, then
there are known instances of worlds
wrapped in flames. They ignite, burn
fiercely, fade and disappear. Suppose
now, that for any reason, a combustible
gas should be,e-volved upon our planet;
there it may combine expios,i;eIy with
the oxygen of the atMoepheee or burn
Ea star in the Itiorthern Crown.
Either case woutd meet the condition
of the prophecy. We think, therefore,
that the words of Peter are amply il-
ustrated by the latest discovery of as-
tronomy.
An old Indian silver rnine has been
found in. Indiana. Near one of the fur-
naces was found a tree that had attain -
d a diameter of -15 inchee, showing the
great anti'enity of the mine. A quartti-
y of fine metal was found at the bottom
f one of the furnaces.
