4 FUNERAL EITRAORDIyARI

The Pal Nal Gazette says "a
most successful funeral IN which
woman played an important part took
place at Padua in 151S, and, indeed, in
some respects, the arrangements Of the
funeral were in Ill ways less depressing
than the run Of ordinary burials. An
eminent lawyer, by name Lodovich
Cartusius, who died in July OF that
year, before his death strictly forbade
his relations to shed any tears at his
funeral, and enforced this order Oh his
heir by a heavy penalty in case OF DISC
bedience. He further directed that
fddlers should take the place Of mourn
ers on the sad occasion, and that twelve
maids IN green habits should carry his
remains I the Church Of St. Sophia.
where he was buried, the ceremony to
be enlivened by songs from these ladies,
who were to be recompensed for the
service by a handsome sum OF money
allotted for their marriage portions.
The monks OF the convent at Padua,
who were invited TO the funeral, We're
on 10 account 70 wear black habits, lest
they should throw a gloom over the
cheerfulness of the procession. II
funerals were conducted in this fashion,
there would perhaps be a fainter call
for cremation, and woman would nave
no necessity for depressing her natural
delight at the ~obsequies of man"

THE SCSS CRUST.

Prof. Young has put forth & very
novel theory as regards the construc-
ton Of the sun. he says there a be
but little doubt that Faye, Seccki, and
others, who hold that the sun is mainly
gaseous, are correct 4; while, at the
same time, the phenomena OF eruption
which are always occurring on the sur
face, as seen with 4 telescope, estab-
hsh the idea that there is a crust OF
some kind which restraints the impris-
oned gases. Prof. Young states that
this crust may consist Of a more or less
continuous sheet OF descending rain
not water, OF course. but of the mate
rails whose vapors are known to exist
in the solar atmosphere. As this ire
mendous rain descerds, the velocity
of all the falling drops would be re-
tarded by the resistance of the denser
gases underneath. and the drops would
eventually coalesce until a continuous
sheet would result, and several Of these
sheets uniting, would form a sort OF
Dottonless ocean, resting upon the
compressed vapors below, and pierced
by innumerable Jets and bubbles.

i NEW SORT Of TRADES UNION.
A number of plasterers in Brooklyn
have formed a trades-union on & move!
plan. The men are divided by the Off
GERS they elect into three classes. The
basis of division is skill. Each man re-
ceives n card bearing his anne and
class. If he is in the first class, he is
to get 3. 80 a day ; in the second, s.
and in the third, 81. 80. This standard
of wages is to last until Oct. l, 1915.
The classification, if il can be fairly
done, and if the men placed in the lower
classes do not revolt, will produce good
results. An employer can tell by a
glance ut Il mans card what kind of a
worker the applicant is. He can afford
to do common jobs more cheaply, be-
cause he need not pay irst-rate wages
for thIrd-rate work. The new society
pledges itself to give three months no.
tice of a demand for increased wages,
and TO discounteuance all strikes, " ex-
cept where an employer fails to pay his
men for lawful time worked, or where
the eight hour law is about to be in
fringed upon"
