The Sun HOax.

The story telegraphed from New York
yesterday morning, to the effect that GER
tain figures show that the earth is falling
towards the sun at rate which will
bring them together in some / ,44O years,
is a very good attempt at a sensation sun
hoax. That is all that can be said in its
favor. Astronomers know, and can
prove, that what is known as the "mean
distance" is almost exactly the same as
it was at the date of the transit of Venus
in 1869. They furthermore know, and
can prove, that the average distance of
the earth from the sun is greater now
than it was then, the orbit having
swelled out slightly, increasing the minor
axis, while the major axis remains un-
changed. We are not, therefore, nearing
the sun. The statement referred to was
probably to the effect that if astrono-
mers 60 on reducing their estimates of
the suns distance at the same rate as
they have done recently, they will soon
reduce the estimate to nothing. An
astronomer could never have made such
a statement as is imputed to him in the
dispatch referred to.
The following shows the mean dis
tance of the sun from the earth in miles,
his diameter in miles, and the mass of the
sun, that of the earth being taken as the
limit for the two extreme values, and
the mean value of the solar parallax
given in the Tribune of yesterday: Par
allax, seconds, 9.06, 9.45, 9.24; distance,
miles, 90,21S,0OO, sc, 1896 900, IS, ,46l 900 !;
diameter, miles, S41 400, S06, $50, 825, 900;
mass, earth 1, 3O3, $50, 268, ,44O, 2S7, ,17O.
These values are all much less than
those previously accepted, and will prob
ably be found too small.-Chicago Tri-

A Thief Who Restored His Theft.

"Better late than never" is an en-
couragement without which many duty
long neglected would 90 finally undonc.
The subject of the following little story
deserved this encouragement rather than
any special praise for his honesty. He
"never meant to keep" what he stole,
and his long carefulness of the pilfered
articles seems to show that he was sim
cerc though tardy in carrying out his
good purpose. The Providence Journal
says:
A few evenings since, lady con-
nected with one of our public benevolent
institutions was accosted by young man
standing in the shadow of building on
one of our principal streets. Asking a
few questions to satisfy himself that the
person he addressed was the one he de-
sired to find, and convinced from the
replies that there was no mistake, he
handed her porte-monnaie containing
money and other articles lost by her
more than three years before. The con-
tents, as afterwards found, were some
thing more than had been remembered,
with the substitution of new and more
valuable purse in the place of that
which had been lost
AstOnished by an occurrence so un
expected, she looked up at him with a
face expressive of her surprise, when he
said, in a sad tone,-
81 took it. / was in bad company
and was tempted. But" he added, Il
never meant to keep it."
OF the circumstances that had inter
vened, she learned nothing in the brief
interview, except that he had made the
effort to find her, but had not until now
been able to satisfy himself of her iden-
tity. But now that this was proved,
that which had been taken was restored,
wsth more in value than had been lost.
The voice, the countenance, the manner,
all indicated q remorseful consciousness
of the past act, mingled with the pain
which could not otherwise than accom-
pany a confession of such nature.
With the expression of her sense OF
the feeling so wholly honorable, which
prompted this act Of restoration, few
words of kindness out of heart most
deeply moved, warm pressure Of the
hand, and each passed on; the one, il
is believed, in full faith, to future o.
uprightncss, with conscience on which
no added burden OF the kind shall eve,
rest the other, to keep green in he
memory the thought Of the stranger
who met her thus in the broad thorough
fare, and telling with face of sadnes
the story Of his temptation, gave to he
that which she had lost.
