facturers for the machinery and other
articles required for naval purposes. II
is hoped by this means III few years
to make the German navy quite indie
pendent of foreign countries, both as
regards ship-building and its other re-
qulrements. The slight DEVELOPMENT
which has taken place in the German
shlp-building industry during the past
lew years is regarded as a circumstance
very prejudicial to the power of Ger
many at sea, and if the Government
does not succeed in obtaining all it re.
CURES for the navy from private estab-
hshments, it will create factories of ifs
own Tor that purpose. This will be
especially necessary for iron plates and
masts, which have hitherto invariably
had to be procured from abroad. Last
year Messrs. Krupp proposed to begin
tne construction of these articles on an
extensive scale, but they seem now to
nave abandoned this project. AS re-
CARDS the construction of naval mo-

ClOud-Bursts and Water.Spouts.

Many OF our contemporaries seem tn
be under the impression that cloud-
burstc and water-spouts are one and tbe
same thing. Our own observations and
experience of them during several
years residence in this State. as we'll ac
comparing notes in the experience of
others, induce the belief that, althouob
the phenomenal effects of each ara verv
similar, yet there is decided difference
IN their source and formation. Water
spouts are met with on the ocean or on
broad surfaces of water. A cloud-
burst is simply most extraordinary
shower or pouring down of rain-an
overladen cloud suddenly letting 90 its
contents by the run. The heavy nor.
tentous cloud may pass along over tba
earth, showering down its waterv con-
tents generously as it goes along. and
were 1t to meet no obstacle or Changing
circumstance, nothing unusual might
come of it. At or about the heads of
gulches or canons among the mountain
tops is where the cloud-burst
occurs. The cause NAV he

How They Finally Got Married.

One long summer afternoon there
came to Mr.. Davidson's the most Curl
Gus specimen of an old bachelor the
world ever heard of. He was old, gray.
wrinkled, and odd. He hated old
women, especially old maids, and
wasn't afraid to say so. He and Aunt
Patty had it hot whenever chance drew
them together; yet still he came, and it
was noticed that Aunt Patty took un-
usual pains with her dress whenever he
was expected.
One day the contest waged unusually
strong, and Aunt Patty left in disgust
and went out into the garden.
"That bear !" she muttered to her
self, as she stopped to gather a flower
which attracted her attention.

Beecher.TiltOn.

NEW York, August 13.-The long-expected
statement Of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was
| submitted to the Investigation Committee Of
Plymouth Church to-day. He starts out by
reainrming the general denial of the charges
which he made on the 22i of July. and follows
this with fierce attack upon his accuser.
Theodore Tilton, whom he charges with being
an associate Of the Woodruff. and friend az
her strange cause, by which and other foIlies
he-has become banlrupt morally and financial
ly. Mr.. Beecher continues: II can now see
that he is, and has been from the BEGINNING
OF this difficulty a selfish and reckless schem,
er. pursuing plan of mingled good and
hatred, and weaving about me a network of
suspicious, misunderstanding, plots and lies.
to which my own innocent words and acts
nay, even my thoughts, of kindness toward
him, have been made to contribute. These
successive views Of him must be kept in view.
to explain my course through the last four
years. That was blind so long az TO the
real motive of intrigue going on around me
was due partly to my own overwhelming pub-
lie engagements, partly to my complete sur
render Of this affair, and the papers and
questions connected with it, into the hands
OF Mr.. Moulton, who was intensely confident
that he could manage it successfully. 1 suf-

hdence to him, reporting to me OCCASION
ally In general way Mr.. Tiltons
words and outbreaks Of passion only as ele-
ments OF trouble which he was able to con-
troll, and as additional proofs of the wisdom
OF giving it to him. His control of the
situation seemed to me, at the time, complete
immersed, as was, in incessans cares and
duties, and only too glad to be relieved from
considering the details and wretched compli- |
cations, the origin aud the fact of which re- |

about it. / made Moulton for long period /
my confdant and my only channel Of ipfor-
nation. From time to time suspicious were
aroused in me by indications that Mr.. Tilton
was acting the part Of an enemy; but suspi-
cions were rapidly allayed by his own behavior
toward me in other moods, AID bv the
assurances Of Mr.. Moulton, who ascribed
the circumstances to misunderstanding or In |
malice on the part of others. 1t is plain to me
now that it was not until Tilton had fallen
into disgrace and had lost his salary that he
thought 1t necessary to assaii me with charges
which he pretends TO have had in mind Tor

alleged, was very quickly and easily put aside.

The Temperature of the Sun.

The latest investigation on the tenn
perature of the sun by Father Seechi
has been recently published, and he
concludes that the lowest limit of this
temperature must be about 133, 900 de-
grees centigrade. This determination
he has arrived at by a comparison of
the solar radiation and that of the cleo
trio light. He has employed the same
apparatus, namely, the thermo- heliom-
eter, described in his well-known work
on the sun. The temperature produced
by solar radiation was observed at Rome
about noon on several days in July. and
was determined to be 361 times that of
the carbon points of the electric light.
Both Seechi and Him agree that the
temperature of solar radiation NAV de-
pend either solely on the superficial
stratum of the sun, or on q considerable
thickness of its substance, according as
this latter is Opaque or transparent.
Him concludes that if the transparence
were nearly perfect the solar tempera-
ture might well be only few thou
sand degrees but various phenomena.
among them the observations of Prof.
Langley, of Pittsburgh, on the crossing
OF the currents of the photosphere, show
that the solar surface is essentially
Opaque, and certainly at the best is not |
transparent. The very high |
temperature of 40, 900 degrees to no.
900 degrees, above given, is, therefore,
not inadmissible, but must be looked |
upon as at least giving lower limit to
the true value of the temperature of the
sun.
