Another Well Played Game with New York—The League Hecord. The New Yorks gained a second victory over the Nationals yesterday. The home team played an excellent game, belng credited with but a single error, and batting effectively. They made 14 hits to the visttors’ 13, but the latter were made oppor- tunely. ‘The game was an exclting and interest ing one on account of the heavy batting and the closeness of thescore throughout, The Gothamites did not hit Shaw to any extent until the fifth in- ning, when they earned four runs, Both teams scored unearned runs in the first inning. The Washingtons took the lead in the third inning, earning three runson two single base hits and two ‘two-baggers,and further increased their lead in the fifth inning on anerror by Ward, a stealand a base hit. New York made one in the fourfh and took the lead tn the fitth on three single base hit adouble anda triple. The Washingtons { ahead again in the sixth, scoring two runs on an error by Richardson, a double by Gilligan and a triple by Donnelly. "This lead they did not. main- tain long, however, for in tae sameinning the New Yorks overcame the home club, scortt iwo runs, both earned, on a single by Ewing and a hit over the fence by Connor. The Washingtons scored their last run in the ninth inning, when their to- tal needed one to even the visitor score. THE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE. ‘The results of yesterday’s games made the ‘League champtonship race closer than 1t has been since the opening of the season. Boston fell back and Detroit advanced slightly, the former having lost to Philadelphia by a score of Oto 12, while Detroit managed to pull out a victory over Pitts— burg.

HOW THE SUN 18 MISREPRESENTED TO US BY OUR ATMOSPHERE—THE TRUE COLORS HELD BACK BY ‘THE AIR AND THE SUN'S OWN ATMOSPHERE—THE RESULTS-OF THE MOUNT WHITNEY EXPEDITION. ‘The people of this world have never seen the sun a8 it really is in their lives. This ‘Was astatement which Prot. 8. P. Langley made at the out of his lecture at the National Museum last evening on “Sunlight and the Earth’s Atmos- phere.” Notwithstanding the horse races, the circus, and the oppressive heat, there were enough people interested in Prof. Langiey and the sun to make a fair audience in the lecture- Toom, Prot. Langley, who spoke fluently, illus- ‘trated his meaning as he went along with com- Parisons that the most unscientific of his hearers could comprehend. At the rear of the platform a large screen ws snded, and stereopticon views aii 1S We rown upon this. Prof. Langley Tefer to Plato’s remarks about the wonder of @ man who had spent his lifein acave, upon be- holding the sun for the first time. The earth’s atmosphere the speaker likened to the root of acave, Itis a dish veil that holds back the blue light of the sun. FROM THR BOTTOM OF THE OCRAN. The Albatross in its deep-sea dredging has brought up fishes with enormous eyes, that tell of the faintness of the light that filters down totheir depths. Such a fish might rd the dim, — ish light of its heaven 28 the fall splendor ST tne ‘sun, With as much reason, as we could d the sun we see as the sun as it really is. We our- selves are living at the bottom of a great aerial ocean, whose billows roll hundreds of miles over our heads. The white light we see is only the dregs of the sunlight that has filtered down to our depths; The lecture explained at some length the meaning of selective absorption of the atmos Phere, showing bow some of the rays or colors of the spectrum are held back by the atmosphere. ‘The sun, too, like the earth, has its atmosphere, Which alters its color, The presence of the solar almosptere could be detected in observations of the sun by the darkening towards the edges. ‘The center of the sun appeared of a light blue tint, and toward the edge swas red, approaching; et, ‘The sun, he said, was evidently a colored star. ‘The protessor showed on the screen a view of the sun’s corona, remarking that the light received from the sun had to come through this corona iso, as well as the sun’s atmosphere. He showed also the wonderful intricacy and beauty of the ‘Sun spots, With their a curling, like cirrus clouds, in the great winds that swept over the ‘surface of the sun. One of these two or Uhree times the sizeof the continent of North America, lasted about Ofteen eye then changed its form. The atmosphere of the sun ap- eared the color of glowing red hy Uful rose color—and through this sun, n—a beau- -y saw the WHAT 18 BEETED IT? ‘The question was what was behind that, With diagrams, Professor Langley explained simply how observations had been taken of the sun when in the zenith and when declining in the afternoon, So that in some cases the line of vision slanted Ubrough the atmosphere, and in others went through tn the most direct way. The observations that had been taken constantly for two years and the delicate tests and measurements inade it cer- tain that the sun behind itsatmosphere was blue— that is, the colors of the blue end of the spectrum were predominant. THE COLOR OF THE SUN, he sald, was very near that which the ladies knew as lavender. When the light of the sun came slanting through the atmosphere the light was diminished and the blue was cut out. The less air that intervened the more blue the sun looked. ‘The effect of the atmospheric vell was to give the Sun an orange tint, The higher the sun was in the sky the bluer it looked. Prof. Langley ex- plained briefly the methods followed In. the re- Searches made at Allegheny City, explaining the inciples of the bolometer, or’ ray-measurer, a kind of thermometer, so delicate that it can measure one one-hundred thousandth of a degree, and indicate ope one-millionth. It depended o8 the fact that the electric current will Fun faster through a medium when the medium is warm ‘than When it 1s not warmn, RISING 10 THE SURFACE. Returning to the big-eyed fish at the bottom of the sea the lecturer spoke of its getting a more correct view of the sun br ristyg to the surface. It was possible for observers here to rise toward the surtace of the aerial ocean by up ina balloon or climbing to the top of a high mountain, It was for the purpose of getting near the surface ‘that the expedition to the top of Mount Whitney, California, ‘was made. ‘There observations were made nearly 15,000 fect above the level of the sea. Roughly ,, Unis took them half-way to the Surface of the aerial ocean. Though the atmos- phere was several hundreds of miles in height the denser portion was near the earth, so that in go- ing 3iniles upin the air one passed through one-halt. at height’ the plue end of the spectrum grew enormously. WHAT WAS LEARNED AT MOUNT WHITNEY. It had been determined, he sald, that only five per cent of the blue of the sun was transmitted to us through the sun’s atmosphere and the earth's atmosphere. In other words, the blue of the sun ‘was twenty times greater than it appeared ¢o us, while the red was only two times greater. One vi the results Of this Mount Whitney ex| ition had been to show that the beat of the sun beating upon the earth would, annually, melt a shell of ice around the earth 60 yards in thickness, instead of 40 ye as has been eae Many points were gained Of value to geologists in determining ques- 10% ns relating to the glacial and tacts were determined the radiation of heat from theearth. All, he said, depended upon this curi- ous quasi-intelligent action o selective absorption. ‘These researches Were not a matier of idle curl osity, butsometiing of great value, even when re- Fortuis selective absorption, this action going on fo this ve al ion, in the here, we owed our existence, and all organic life depends upon it. eee ‘The Loyal Legion.

BUCKNER FOR GOVERNOR—THE PLATPORM—THE AD MINISTRATION INDORSED. State Senator Samuel Hill was made temporary chairman of the Democratic State Convention at Louisville, Ky., yesterday. Inhis address he referred to Mr. Cleveland as the “fearless President, who has discharged all the functions of his office with honesty and fidelity, and who will again be intrusted with power.” Gen. 8. B. Buckner Was nominated for Governor by acclamation, 4 LIVELY DISCUSSION Was provoked by Representative McKenzie, who introduced a resolution before an organization had been effected: “That the democracy of Kentucky has marked with satisfaction and: pleasure the Wisdom, fidelity and courage with which Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, has administered his high office, and lereby tenders t him its cordial assurance of unfaltering couiidence amd support.” The resolution was greeted with moderate applause, in the midst of Which Congressman Win, Preston Taulbee mounted his chair and made au excited protest against the consideration of the question Involved until a permanent organization had been effected, He hinted very strongly that numerous delegates had, by Various devices, been kept out of the hall and their seats filled by people Rot entitled to adinission, and atid loud cries “of “Sit down!” and “No, no!” ue indirectly charged that the convention’ had been packed in the Anterest of the resolution, The cries lucreased in | volume, and at the top of his volce the Congress- man declared that he Was speaking to a question of the highest privilege, The resolution. m an omnibus indorsement of t on the civil-service, the silver qu Des Moines River bill, and its character required that it should be considered seriously and full ‘Mr. McKenzie retorted that in offering the res0~ lution tt Was not his intention to indorse the civil service policy, for, thank God, 1 bad been his privilege to vote’ against it; “at the there was no use pottering about the matter, It Was simpiy proposed to approve the honesty, the tegrity, fearlessness and courage of the Adminis tration, and nothing would be gained by aulago- nt tion and the nizing the general policy of the one man Who Was | the most available watertal of the party for the next national campaign. ‘The chairman ruled tie discussion out of order, and ordered the resolution tg tie committer on platform, ‘At the evening session Representative Carlisle made a speech and was received with loud ap- plause. THE PLATFORM. That part of the platforia which is of national interest, and which was adopted, Is as follows: “We declare our confidence in the integrity and conscientious devotion to duty of President Grover Cleveland, and congratulate the country and the party upon the accession of a democratic edminis- ‘ration, national, economic, and clean, and we par- Ucularly applaud the President for the fidelity and with which he has protected the Treasury fiom pillage by his exercise of the veto power. We favor honest civil-service reform, by which we mean theenforvement of the laithful performance by persons appointed to office of all public duties intrusted to them, and to Ubisend, as well as Wo the maintenance of the spirit of our. representa Uve form of government, We demand tbe sirictest measure of personal and party responsibility, and are opposed to the substitution, tn rooun Of Ut iif tenure, of a civil. pension list, and all other ap- pendages of a bureaucratic system foreigu to the Genius of our institutions and people.

Barron says he accused him of too much familiarity with Miss Bazaine. At any Tate, bitter words were exchanged, and a scene Was'avolded by the Umely interference of friends, The Spanish minister took up the quarrel, as a. friend of the Bazaine family, on the ground that his countryman had acted improperly in dragging the name of the young lady into notoriety.
