WATER RUNNING UP HILL.-Dr. Smith, in
a lecture on geology, at New York, mentioned
curious circumstance connected with the
Mississippi river 1t runs from north to south,
and its mouth is actually four miles higher
than its source, result due 10 the centrifugal
motion of the earth. Thirteen miles is the
difference between the equatorial and polar ra-
dius; and the river in two thousand miles, has
to rise one third Of this distance--it being the
height of the equator above the pele. If this
centrifugal force were not continued, the river
would flow back, and the ocean would over
flow the land
