THE EARTH'S CORE
MORE RIGID 'iIIAN STEEL. (By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright.) NEW YORK, 28th March. Scientists engaged in research work at the University ot Ciicngo, after a series of lengthy •. -'lents designed to discover the n.ntii • »>f the earth's core, announce that the earth is more rigid than steel, and cannot explode, or be destroyed by fire, within itself. Professor Michelson, head of the Department of Physics, states that the inside of the earth is not a fiery mass, but resists tho idle force of the moon as if made of solid steel. Despite this fact, the earth behaves as an elastic body, still subject to the same influences as the oceans, which form a part of it. The earth's solid surfaces are subject to the same ebb and flow as the tides of the ocean, but to a lesser extent. It has been scientifically demonstrated that tides averaging twelve inches aro moving over the earth's surfaces regularly.
