Celestial Space.

When astronomers assure US that
the diameters of the circles which the
planets describe in their perpetual
revolutions round the sun are millions
Of miles how is it possible for the
mind to take an idea Of the space or
room in which such globes as those
Of eighty or ninety thousand miles in
diameter are running, thirty times
more rapidly than cannon bail, with
out the slightest interference with
others?
Space-without limit There is no
boundary, no barrier, no precIpitous
termination, but space for ever arl ev-
er, and there the intellect leaves the
pursuit-the brain of man cannot
grasp it.
But there is something more per-
picking in the belief that intermina-
BILE space is filled with billions ay,
with countless organized worlds, be-
yond all human computations, for ex-
ceiling our own in grandeur of propor-
tons, physical resources, and beauty,
so immensely distant that no telescope
can ever survey those on the nearest
border of that celestial space which
they occupy; and yet still beyond and
beyond, 50 far that the light they send
abroad at the speed Of one hundred
and ninety-two millions of miles in one
second, may not reach the earth for a
hundred Of millions of years to come,
and there again and again there are
globes infinitely multiplied Space,
then, is field in which the Almighty
displays his supreme power. -

Silver Mining in Lower Levels

Those who have never personally
inspected the lower levels of our mines
may obtain some idea of the degree
Of heat to be found therein by visit
ing the Savage works at the change of
shift. The men-packed together as
close as they can stand on the cage,
are popped up out of the shaft all
steaming hot, for all the world like q
bunch of asparagus just lifted from
the pot. They make their appearance
in a cloud of steam that pours up
continuously from the depths pro-
found, and are dimly seen until they
step forth upon the floor Of the works.
AS the men land and separate, each
carries with him for half minute his
little private cloud of vapor. AS
this passes off the man is seen to be
naked from the waist up, his skin as
wet as though he had just been lifted
o;t of a pool of water. The men
lring up with them-besides the steam
an amount of heat that may be felt
by the spectator as they pass. All
this is at the top Of the shaft, where
it is considered quite cool; what, then,
must it be hundreds of feet below,
where the mon started from-down
where the water stands at l57 degrees
Fahrenheit? Down there no steam is
seen-it is too hot for it. 1t is only
when the hot, moist air coming up
from the lover regions strikes the
cool air toward the top of the shaft
that it takes the form of steam.
Down there where the men come from
you must keep your hands off the
pump column and the pipes, and il
you pick up an iron tool you will at
once put it down withoueN1e -
to do so. Down there they handle
things with gloves on, or wrap rags
about the drills they are guiding and
iron apparatus they are moving, and
down there, too, you swlll learn to
keep your mouth shut SITTER yos have
drawn few mouthfuls Of hot air into
your lungs. Psrspire? 1t is no
name for it. You are like sponge
that is being squeezed. You are
ready to believe that you have ten
million pores to every square inch Of
surface, or as many more as any au-
thority may mention, and that these
pores are as big as the cells Of
honeycomb. You go for ics-water,
and it almost seems to hiss as it pass
es down your throat-yo keep going
for it, and thus, in short time, find
out what becomes Of the tons and tons
of ice that are daily consumed in the
mines. Remain below among the
miners for an hour or two, and when
you are finally popped out at the top
of the shaft, all redhot and steam
ing, among the other asparagus sprouts
You will appreciate the beauty, the
light and the GOODNESS of the upper

Death by Lightning.

Do people suffer when they are kill
ed by lightning? This is a very in
teresting question, and one upon
which there has been much specula-
ton.
A scientific writer-Dr. John Tyn-
dall-has published learned essay
on the subject, and his conclusion is,
that death caused by lightning is not
accompanied by any pain whatever
1t is an instantaneous "negation Of
life or cessation Of consciousness,
without suffering
He says that the seat of sensation
is the brain, and to it the intelligence
Of any impression made upon the
nerves has to be transmitted before
tins Impression can become manifest
IN consciousness. The transmission,
moreover, req,ttres time, and the con-
sequence is that wound inflicted on
portion of the body distant from the
brain is more tardiIy appreciated
than one inflicted adjacent to the
brain. By an exit emely ingenious
experimental arrangement the veloci-
ty of this Transmission has been deter
mined, and found to be about one
hundred feet to the second, or less
than one-tenth of the velocity Of sound
In the air. Taking INTO account this
time required for the transmission of
sensation, and the further time be-
lieyed to be required for the invisible
particles constituting the brain to
take up the motions or positions neces-
sary for the completion of conscious
ness, Dr. TyndalI estimates ,hat if
whale, fifty feet long, were wounded
in the tail, one second and a tenth
would elapse before it would become
conscious of the injury.
From these premises the deduction
is made that if an injury were inaict-
ed which would render the nerves un-
tit to be the conductors of the motion
which results in sensation no matter
how severe the injury may be, we
should be unconscious of it. Or it
may be that long before the time re-
quircd by the brain to complete the
arrangement necessary to conscious
ness, Its power of arrangement might
be wholly suspended. In such case,
even if the injury were fatal, death
would occur without feeling fany
kind.
This IS the most learned scientific
view Of the subject, 1t is supported
by numerous well-authenucated cases
of persons who have been stuck sense
less by lightning and on their re-
coyery, had no memory of pain.
However, clear as this reasoning is,
and strong as the evidence seems 10
be, there is, and necessarily must be,
degree OF mystery hanging over
death, however occasioned, which can
never be fully dispersed until we ox-
pemence it ourselves. All tho testi-
mony on this subject comes from per-
sons who have not died none from
those who have. We have no wit
nesses from beyond the grave They
are clothed in an impenetrable cloud
and whether they be dumb or not,
they are all speechless From them
no word ever comes back to our long
ing hearts and listening ears.
