BALL BILLs.-Persons indebted for
tickets to the late Miners Union ball,
are requested to settle for the same i'm
mediately. All bills against the com
mittee will be settled upon presenta-

close up the business of the ball with
out delay, and therefore they must
ask that a prompt accounting, both for

FINGER MAsHED.-Yesterday, at the

AN UPsET.-A party, consisting Of
Mr.. and Mrs. STEELE, Mr.. and Mrs.
Knight, and, we believe, some others
who wentup to the Miners Union ball
the other night in a four.horse vehicle,
got capsized just as they reached Ruby
Hill. Mrs. STEELE received slight in
juries about the head; further than
which, the party fortunately escaped
without injury. The night was as
dark as pitch, the roads slippery, and
it seems marvellous that more acct
dents did not befall the ball-goers.

General Newton, the hero Of the
He'll Gate explosion, is deyOting his
attention to Diamond Reef, which
lies between Governors Island and
New York city. There have been,
it IS said, no less than fifteen blasts
made Of this reef during the past
few weeks. Each of these blasts
takes 1900 to 1900 pounds Of Vul-
can powder, and breaks up a con-
siderable portion of the surface of
the reef. The work is expected to
be completed next spring, when, at
dead low water, there will be at
least, according to estimate, twenty
two feet depth over all portions Of
the reef.

noa Far on ihe sunT,.
9port Of Prof. Young's Lecture


Light, which travels with
amazing velocity, required eight
minutes to reach the earth. Sound
would require fourteen years to
travel from the sun to the earth.
So that if We saw an explosion at
its surface, it would be fourteen
years before we could hear it. But
If we could place a rod of iron
from the earth to the sun and it
was struck with a hammer on one
end, the sound would reach the
other end in about eleven months.
But perhaps the most singular
illustration of the suns distance
was drawn from the human econo-
my. Sensation took certain time
to travel to the nerve centers and
if we could imagine a human in
faut with an arm long enough to
reach the sun, it wonld take $50
years for the sensation to reach him
after burning his fingers in other
words, he would be dead several
years before the sensation of burn
lag could reach him. The sums
distance was SO inconceiyable that
it was only by making such COM
parisons We could form any idea at
all Of it,

1t is some consolation to believe
that the suferings of those who are
burned TO death within the walls of
a building are very brief and that
the end is painless. The combus-
tion generates large volumes of car
bonic acid gas, which, being heavier
than the atmospheric air, sinks to
the lower part of the building and
envelopes the people on the floor
before the flames reach them. As
soon as they are surrounded with
this deadly gas they become insensi-
bic, and are spared the excrutiating
torture suffered by persons burned
whore the air can freely circulate,
The relatives and friends of the
victims may spare themselves the
shuddering feeling that those whom
they lost gave up their lives in ex-
trome physical or mental agony.
Their capacity for suffering was
probably extinguished before the
flames reached them.
