Abstract
ON looking over the account, contained in vol. xii. p. 545, of Prof. Mohr's interesting observations on the internal heat of the earth, I found that, according to the law which seems to prevail between the depths of 700 and 3,390 feet, there will cease to be any increase at all in the temperature exactly at the depth of one English mile, or 5,280 feet.
