The German democrats of New York have
called a meeting to perfect an organisation to
operate as Germans against the know notbines
in the coming election. A proposition is to be
discussed whether it is not better for the Ger
mans of the city at large to hold mass conyen-
ton with view to putting a city ticket oftheir
own in nomination. So says the n. Y. Nation

| The American Organ and the New York
Express urge the postponement Of the period
named for the meeting ofthe American nation
al convention until some time next spring. The
period fixed for the meeting (22d Noyenber)
by the Philadelphia convention, is regarded as
altogether too early.

Professor Henry, before the American as
ISOLATION of science, gave odd results touching
the existence of red flames on the edge Of the
sun as observed during the solar eclipses. These
projections of red flame were observed again in
May A black board representation of them
was given-a circle with cloven tongues Of fire.
During eclipses, itappears, remarkable appear
ances of these flames have been observed
since the year 1883, when Alexander and
Henry were astronomers together at Princeton.
One used yellow glass, the other red. 1t
was found that these flames could only be OBJ
served through the red glass. To test this,
last spring, when the big eclipse happened Mr..
Henry experimental at Washington. He took
large burning lens, such as are used in the
lighthouse service, and concentrated the rays of
the sun upon a piece Of shingle-the wood be-
gan to burn, when presto! the same sort of
flames appeared, ola beautiful pink color A
range of different colored glasses was brought
to bear--but through none of them, yellow,
green or any thing else but red could the flame
be seen. Mr.. Henry called in the architect of
the Smithsonian institution, and babe him look
He was oblivious of the existence of the flames
till the red glass came. A candle was taken up,
and it was invisible through the red glass.
The inference is that this phenomenon is real.
The pink according to Mr.. Henry is subiec-
tive color-a color in the eye. This opens, he
said, field for investigation. Prov Jour.
