the waste matter OF the body and all acid and

evaporation from the surface and through the

needed to invigorate the vital powers depressed
by low temperature; to stimulate and purify the
secretons, and to fit the body to endure, without
inconvenience pain or danger, the sudden Gil

The suns atmosphere, say scientific men, Is

from the solar sphere towards the earth and 1t Is
now stretching out forty five millions Of miles.
In other words, it has accomplished half the dis

question is:
How long will 1t be before y finishes the rest Of
the distance and bridges the gigantic chasm be-
tween the earth and the sun, carrying the globe
away as II we were gigantic lump OF coal for
roaring furnaceY This column OF light at inter-
walls indicates its approach by nashing and cor
ruscating with fresh brilliancy. So decided are
its effects that two astronomers, one ut London,
the other at Oxford, and neither knowing the ex-
perences OF the other, supposed that the dark
glass of their telescopes had been broken or put
out OF range, SO strong was the nash OF golden
light upon the vision 1t s predicted that, before
the end of next year, this magnetic light VIII
have got near enough to us to make Its immediate
and actual influence upon the earth distinctly felt
IL is announced that, In consequence, we may
expect to see phenomena that have never been
seen or known before by the human race. If any
OF our readers are, therefore, yet disposed to COM
plain OF the weather and the earthquakes, let
them remember that, by this time next year, they
may have an entire new line OF experiences to ex-
plain and endure, in comparison with which the
