THE SUMS

At present the distance from the earth
to the sun is reckoned at ninety-two mil
lions of miles, with a margin of error Of
about five hundred thousand miles. 1t
is for the main purpose Of reducing this
margin by at least one-half that the OBJ
servations Of the coming transit of Venus
are to be undertaken. In o recent lee
ture on THE Constitution of the Sun"
Prof. Young made use of the following
curious illustration, in order to aid his
hearers in forming an idea of the suns
distance. "You know he states,
"that, if you touch a part Of the body,
one does not feel it instantly. If you
touch the hand Of any one with a pia, it
will be an appreciable part Of "a second
before he will feel it and draw his hand
back Now, if I had an arm long enough
to reach to the sun, and should put my
fingers into the solar flame and burn
them there, it would be q hundred years
before I would find it ont, and another
hundred years before I could remove my
hand. Such is the distance Of the sun,
and yet across that space the earth re-
spends to every impulse of the solar sur
face" An illustration of this character,
while it elected the applause Of the au-
dience, failed, we doubt not, to convey
to many any o definite idea Of this
immense distance than that obtained
from the simple statement Of that dis
lance in English miles.4APpteton's.

MARION COUNTY.-A runaway team Sc
verely bruised load of human freight con-
sisting of E. A. Storer, Mrs. Griffith, Miss
Il ell, and another lady. -. On the 25th
ult., between dawn and sunrise, the house
of Mr.. Gilbert Barr, four miles west of Red
Rock, was burned together with all its
contents. The saddest feature of all how
ever, was the fatal burning of little girl,
Effie Robertson, aged about II years, the
adopted daughter of Jeptha X. Clark, who
lives in the same neighborhood. The cir
cumstances attending the fire as related to
us by Mr.. Clark, are as follows: Mr. Barr
arose early in the morning and went out
to attend to his chores. The little girl had
gone TO Mr.. Bars to stay with the younger
children, while Mrs. b. went to see her
mother-in-law who was sick Mrs B. re.
turned in the afternoon and Effie remain.
ed over night After Mr.. B. had gone out,
Effie arose and lit the lamp, but finding
the oil low procured the oil can, which was
made to.contain two gallons, but contained
at the time probably about half gallon,
and undertook to fill the lamp without ex-
tinguishing the flame. The can exploded
and fired her clothing and the house. Mr.
B. who was some thirty rods away, heard
the explosion and ran to the house in time
to rush in through the flames and rescue
the unfortunate girl, after her clothes were
entirely burned off He also took one of
his own children, who was yet in the house.
and escaped through window. Mrs. b.
had carried three out children before her
husband arrived. She was very severely
burned in trying to save the little girl who
was Immediately taken home, and died in
about two hours after the accident. From

During the past Meek..we have conversed
with many farmers and grangers from all
sections of the county, and large MAORI
ty of them express themselves opposed to
the political action of the grange, aud in
sympathy with the Republican party, as
of yore Good men are announced for ev-
cry office and it is the fault of the people
themselves if they do not attend the prima-
ries and nominate the best men for the va
rious positions. OF course the Democracy,
ever ready to catch att straw to foist
themselves into power, will urge and work
for politics in the grange, thus hoping to
defeat the Republican party, but 40 good
member of the party can afford to listen
to such counsel. If any abuses exist and
and cannot be corrected in the Republican
ranks, it is certainly foolish, in view of
the past, to expect aid in this direction
from the old rotten hulk of Democracy.
