Fountains of Fire on Which the Earth Could Dance Like a Cork. Notwithstanding the unpleasant weather there wasa good attendance at the lecture given by Prof. George M. Searle at the Catho- lie university last Friday afternoon. The sub- Jects of discussion were the source of the sun's heat, eclipses of the sun and the solar promi- mences and corona, It was shown that the solar heat could not be caused by combustion, for in that case it would have burned out per- eeptibly in historic times. The sun, therefore, is not on fire, but is incandescent, like the platinum wire in an electric light, $0 we sce | that it is like the metal which the furnace has | heated, rather than the furnace itself. What, then, is the furnace which produces the fearful heat and dazzling radiance of which we tried to obtain some idea last weck? Some have held | that the supply of heat is kept up by meteors falling from space. If a mass of meteoric matter the size of the earth should fall into the sun the powerful force of gravitation ex- erted by that body would cause it to acquire before striking a rapidity of over 80 miles a second. If such a mass should fall into the sunonce in a century, even in small pieces a few at a time, it would suttice to main- tain the sun at the same temperature which it now possesses. But if the quantity of meteoric matter flying about in space were as large as this theory would require we would have evidence of it in the character of the meteoric showers upon our planet. True, the sun would catch more of this kind of fish in proportion to its superficial area than we would do, having a more powerful bait in its great bulk and proportionate force of gravita- tion, But if the meteor hypothesis were true such a number would fall upon the earth's sur- face as to impart to it at least half as much heat as it receives from the sun, and the weight of the meteors reaching us annualiy would average about 2814 tons to each acre of the earth’s surface. The city burtau of street cleaning in New York might not notice this little accumulation of meteors in their streets, but the farmers certainly would in their fields, (Laughter and applause.) It is true, quite probably, that there isa ring or disk-shaped mass of meteors revolving near the sun and that we see it edgewise, in whut is called the zodiacal light, This may be observed immedi- ately after sunset in March and before sunrise in September. The meteoric theory of the sun's heat is now generaliy abandoned and an- other,that of Helmholtz, is accepted and seems certainly more probable. According to this the- ory the heat is caused by a steady contraction of the sun’s mass, a contraction amply sufficient to account for all the solar heat, but not enough Pears’ Soa (Scented and vwOap SECURES & BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION.

SOLAR ECLIPSES, Going on to the subject of solar eclipses the lecturer said that the sun and the moon appear to us about the same size, because, although the sun is 400,000 times farther away than the moon, its diameter is about 400,000 times greater. But the distances of the sun and moon Vary at different times, Their apparent sizes, therefore, though averaging the same, some- umes differ relatively to each other. When the moon is far off and the sun is near, the sun bave the advantage in apparent size, and vice versa, Strange to say, the sun is farthest off in summer and nearest in winter. On the Ist of Junuary the sun looks bigger than on any other day in the year, When the eclipse comes at a time when the sun is farthest away and the moon nearest, the disk of the moon hides the sun entirely from view. This is called a total eclipse. When the moon is farther away and the sun nearer the moon appears the smailer of the two and is entirely surrounded by the sun, single delivery bringing one hundred and taen- pascrra tectimoniala sounds an though sume povple Wolff's AC ME Blacking are the people who use it right, READ DIREC.

WOLFF & RAKDOLPH, Philadelphia. ‘The Bert Blacking for Men, Women and Children. F oR Bueaxrasr, LUNCH, DINNER AND ALL TIMES, This is called an annular or ring-shaped eelipse. When the moon is off a little to one side it is called partial eclipse. Total eclipses are more common between April and October than between Octo- ber and April. Even during total eclipses it is not as dark as at night. This is accounted for partly by the fact that although we may be in the center of the moon's shadow we can see some air outside of the limits, from which some light is reflected, and partly on account of the sun's corona, which we see as an irregularly shaped radiance streaming out from the border ot the moon. This does not appear of the same shape in different observations. In 1869 it was seen in the form of across with four more or leas distinct elongations. In 1878 it appeared very nearly circular. Certain peculiar rays which arise from it would seem to indicate some elec- tric or magnetic action. It must be composed of very attenuated mutter, for comets have passed through it without being perceptibly re- tarded in their course, Inthe Egyptian eclipse of 1882acomet never seen before nor since was photographed accidentally very near to the corona. ‘THE HEALTHIEST AND PARIS EXPOSITION, 1889: 3 GRAND PRIZES, & GOLD MEDALS.

There are, impinging on the inner edge of the corona, certuin projections of a very bright red color, which were first called flames, aiterward protuberances and now promi: nencea, Strangely enough they never seem to have attracted special attention in the early recorded observations, They are much more conspicuous in some eclipses than others, In the eclipse of 1869 they were the first things to attract attention. A great deal more is known about these prominences than about the corona, They can be studied to the best advantage out- side of eclipses, for by special apparatus, to be described later, we may make them visible at any time. The prominences seem to have some connection with the spots. Sometimes, when we can follow out the spots pretty well, they seem to turn into prominences when they reach the edge of the sun. It is safe to say that these prominences, especially those of the eruptive kind, are in the places where the great- est disturbances exist. The prominences range, however, from one pole of the sun to the other, while spots only occur in the sub-eguatorial re- gions. The prominences may be divided into two classes, the quiescent and the eruptive, The quiescent may be the result of the erup- th Just as the smoke of a volcano may re- main after the eruption has ceased. Some of the quiescent prominences appear like clouds, wholly disconnected from the sun’s substance, which indicates the presence of an atmosphere in which they seem to condense. Usually, however, they are resting on the surface of the sun, or bearing evidence of 0116 connection with it by @ stem or the remains of one. BRANCH HOUSE, UNION SQUARE, NEW YORK. € A Cuz.

Much feeling is manifested among the peo- ple of this county at the opposition displayed in certain quarters of the state to the proposed lease of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal by the Cumberland and Washington railroad com- pany. The remarks attributed to State Sena- tor Wootton of this county that the company was not ‘ible and had no paid-up capi- tal meet with no favor in this community, es- pecially when the character, dnancial standing and resources of the gentlemen who organized the company ut this place some days ago are so well known here. It is said here that the opposition to the proposed lease is all in the interest of eg ary oe Ohio eaicona company, who would gladly forego pay- ment of the canal bonds they hold in order to let the canal remain in its present condition, 80 that they may enjoy the (reo monopoly in the coal-carrying trade.

Taken from Their Beds and Tar and Dry Leaves Poured Over Them, Two Mormon elders who were prospecting in Marion county, Ala., getting a party of con- verte together preparatory to starting for Utah, were mobbed last Wednesday night. While at the house of one of the converts a crowd of masked men entered and dragged them from their beds, They were taken some distance into the woods, stripped of their clothing and covered with tar and dry leaves, After warning them that if they did not leave the country at once they would be killed the crowd started away, They had gone only a short distance when two of them came back &nd set fire to the tar on the naked bodies of the elders, There happened to be a creek near by and the two elders ran and plunged into it, extinguishing the flames. ‘They were badly burned, however, but some of their converts succeeded in getting them safely out of the neighborhood next day, A QUEER REAL ESTATE SALE. Chicago Property Worth $300,000 Awarded to Mr. Leiter for $40,000, Chicago's big hotel, the Grand Pacific, one of the finest in America, was sold Saturday to Levi 4. Leiter for $40,000 and is to be torn down, It Cost 300.000 to erect. The purchase price in- cludes not only the hotel building but the lease of the ground on which it stands, The curious feature of the transaction is that the great structure is at its prime and a model high-class hotel with patronage overflowing. Periodical appraisement of the real estate as a basis of the ground rent is what brought about the Peculiar sale. The location ot the new board of trade just across the street and the enor- mous rise in the value of real estate for highly appointed offices in the vicinity have rendered the operation of a hotel so situated a worse than nou-productive investment, The decision of the appraisers is that the hotel to permit ade- quate income from the land must at once be replaced by a tall business block. Mr, Leiter was the owner of the ground and after a con- sideration of the intricate question of equities he was awarded the entire property on pay- ment of $40,000, ———_—-ee2—___ International Pool Players.

Mr. Depew Refuses to Act on a Com- mittee to Push the Assembly Bill. A conference of New York politicians was held in Chauncey Depew’s office in New York Saturday. Mr. Depew said he knew the senate would never pass the assembly bill and that Senator Hiscock would not touch it in Washing- ton, which caused Elihu Root to remark that this would readily locate the responsibility. Mr. Depew said he wanted the executive com- mittee and Mayor Grant to agree to a change in the incorporators named in the bill by a sub- stitution of regular democrats for the mug- wumps, and that the mayor and the legislature should appoint the extra members under the disputed act, Mr. Elihu Root was surprised that Mr. Depew could make such a6 tion in view of the fact that the committee pre- viously fasisted upon the non-partisan character of the bill, and to follow such a course as this was to admit at once what they had heretofore denied. For his part be considered the only right course to pursue was to call all the committees together and to strongly indorse the assembly bill and the action taken in its support by the republicans following Hamilton Fish, jr., and the demo- crats, Charles A. Moore was of the same opinion, and a motion for the appointment of a committee of five to draw such a resolution to present at a meeting called for the chamber of commerce on Tuesday was carried. Mayor Grant thereupon inted Elihu Root, Chauncey M. Depew, W. Astor, William C. Whitney and Jobn M. Bowers as such com- mittee. Mr. Depew at once declined to serve on the committee, The committee heard him in silence and then Charles A. Moore was Sppotnted to serve in his place.

Gov. Biggs of Delaware in an interview says of the peach crop: “In the light of past expe- rience I predict that if there are no serious set backs during the remainder of the season the country will be flooded" with the crop of peaches from the Delaware peninsula. There is another thing that can be considered with considerable satisfaction and that is there will be lots of money in it. We growers of the pe- ninsula have been acting very intelligently and systematically recently and the result is that nearly ai] possibility of a glut has been re- moved, Instead of depending upon two or three cities in which to sell our crop we have opened up markets from Omaha to Boston, We have perfected the shipment so that no one city will receive more peaches than can be disposed of in a single day, ee <——. He Couldn’t Stand Dancing. Rev. E. B. Furbish of the Congregational church of Lockport, N.Y., has resigned from his charge as a result of the position of his con- gregation on the question of dancing, theater going and card playing. The questions were raised some time ago in the church lyceum, at which there was always in attendance all of the young folks, among whom were many pretty misses, whose chief enjoyment was tri ping nimble measures, The question was dis- cussed in a friendly spirit. One side was with the pastor, but it seems now it was in the mi- nority. Both sides kept up a war of pamphlets in which the question was raised as to what | Regia were requisite before a person could 7 admitted to church membership, It has been a novel fight and the culmination was a genuine surprise, Mr. Furbish isa thoroughly eultured man and was highly thought of by all before the devil entered the church in the guise of the dancing question, The congrega- tion is one of the most wealthy and refined in northern New York, A Bride in Boy’s Clothes. The story of a sensational elopement comes from the town of Jeannette, Pa. Henry von Schoonhaven, a widower, aged thirty-tive, with three children, was secretly married to Jose- phine Summersgill, aged sixteen, by an Alle- gheny City clergyman, Josephine immedi- ately donned boy's clothing and went to Jean- nette to live with her husband at the home of the mother of his first wife. Josephine went by the name of Joseph Lang, and her sex was not even suspected until recently. In the meantime she sang regularly in the choir of a church at Adamsburg, and was found very use- ful at social gatherings. One night in the latter part of last week mother-in-law No 1. be- came suspicious because Josephine had un- guardedly acted like her own true self. So the old lady listened at the door of her son-in-law’s bedroom and overheard a conversation between yon Schoonhaven and Josephine. ‘The next morning she raised an uproar and Josephine confessed all, That day she and her husband disappeared. the latter leaving a note to the ef- fect that he had taken $300 and gone to the west with his young wife. Von Schoonhaven isacarpenter, and just previous to her dis- covery Josephine had announced her intention of learning the trade. ~~ 00. Big Starch Factories Sold.
