| ONE Of the latest and most remarka
BILE teachings of astronomical science
is that the moon, when fulL is SO IN
tensely hot that no creature known to
us could long endure contact with hel
heated surface. The reasoning in
this case is that the surface Of the
moon is exposed during the long lu
mar day, lasting fortnight of our ter.
restrial time, to the rays Of the sun
which are as powerful as those that
give us our daily heat; and without
an atmosphere to temper the suns
heat as ours does-not, indeed, by i'm.
peding the passage of the suns rays,
but by bearing aloft the cloud-veil
which the sun raises from our oceans
the moons surface must become in
tensely hot long before the middle OF
the lunar day. Undoubtedly the want
of atmosphere causes the moons heat
to be rapidly radiated away into
space. 1t is the earth's. atmosphere
which causes steady heat to prevail
on its surface; and at the SUBMITS of
lofty mountains where the atmosphere
is rare, although The midday is in
tense, yet SC rapidly does the heat
pass away that SHOWS, crown forever
the mountain heights. Yet, although
the moons heat must pass away even
more rapidly, this does not prevent
the heating of the moons actual sur
face. Accordingly, Herschel has
pointed out, as fact beyond a doubt,
that the moons surface must be heat
ed at lunar midday-or, rather, at the
time Of lunar mid-heat, corresponding
to about two o'clock in our afternoon
to a degree probably surpassing the
heat of boiling water.

SHRINKAGE N NEW YoRK.-There
seems to be no bottom as yet found
for real estate. Ten years ago the
climax was reached, and the first five
years of decline was very gradual.
The last FIVE, however, have shown a
rapid as well as steady fall, until
the question has to be met, is there
any such thing as fixed valuation?
Among the latest noticeable points in
this connection is the failure of Gen
Duryea, who is one of the veteran
business men of the city. He had in
vested the fruit Of long life of traffic
In real estate, which has been annihi-
lated by the shrinkagc. To give de
tails it may be said that he owns a
property which was estimated at
1925, 900, which was mortgaged for
$40, 900. This property is in Fifth
avenue and vicinity, and yet it is said
that it will not bring more than the
amount of the mortgage. The failure
of Francis Tones is another instance.
This man is an old merchant, his name
having been fixture in Maidea Lane
for thirty years. He had made fort
une and invested it in real estate. AS
the latter paid handsomely he extend
ed his operations, giving mortgages
for purchase money, and the shrink
age now leaves no margin above the
latter. This was precisely Edward
Matthew's fate. In 1869 he was a
millionaire, but in 1875 be was a
bankrupt, and yet during this entire
transaction he held the same amount
of real estate. The decline in Fifth
avenue property is such that were the
Stewart palace put into the market it
would not bring more than the cost of
the lot. Bnt have we got down to
hard-paD yc'? This is dificalt ques-
ton TO answer.-N. 7. Cor. Troy

a TERRIBLE DEATH.-Glade Springs,
in this county, was on Monday
thronged with people from all
parts Of the country to witness
the balloon ascension. Accord
ing to announcement, the travel
ing show of Prof Hoffman made its
appearance and prepared for exhibi-
ton. Their large iron furnace was
put to work, and the balloon hoisteds
over it by means of two poles on eli
ther side, forty feet high. The bal
loon was inflated by means Of wood;
and kerosene oil, with small quanti--
ty of gasoline added. When it was
filled as asual, Mr.. Mainur, the aero
nant, was informed, but he said, II
want more gas this time" Two pints
more of oil were put in. and, when
exhausted, the damper of the furnace,
was shut down. Then he jumped in
to his position, and like an arrow the
great air-ship shot upward, carrying
its human freight dangling at its end.
It had ascended some three hundredg
feet, and while the actor was perform
ing on horizontal bar, hanging by
his feet with his head down, waving
a handkerchief to the nervous audi
ence below, the patched and dilapida-
ted canvas split from bottom to top.
with a report that was heard miles
away. No sooner had the gas es-
eaped than the balloon collapsed and
came shooting down as swiftly as it
had darted up. The eronaut saw his
situation, and quick as lightning
turned himself up and regained his.
hand hold, and, commenced a ma
neuvre to dodge telegraph wire and.
post toward which he was falling.
This he succeeded in doing, striking
the ground with terrible force, which
bounced him. up, to be caught and
pressed down by the balloon. All of
this was the work Of moment. The
crowd was literally paralyzed, women
and fainting, and men una

was found to be alive and conscious,

The Trade IN Human Hair.

The trade in human hair continues
to increase in Marseilles, and has now
become a staple article of commerce in
that city. Six or seven years ago the
annual quantity did not exceed sixteen
tons, but it had increased in 1873 to
fifty, and in 1875 to eighty tons. 1t
was thought that this total would never
be exceeded, but the returns for 1876
have already falsified the prediction, as
during the past year ninety-two tons
were registered as having arrived
at Marseilles. Formerly all the hair i'm
ported into Marseilles came from Italy,
but that country has been unable to
meet the increasing demand, and a
brisk trade has been opened with the
extreme East. Thus of the n~Inety-two
tons imported last year, forty-three came
from Italy, while China supplied thirty
six, Turkey five, and Japan three tons,
the remainder being made up of i'm
portations from Egypt, India, Germany,
Belgium, Spain and Algeria. The to-
tai quantity of hair imported into
France last year is estimated at n
hundred and twenty-five tons, value
1900. 900.

The Man Who Stops His Paper.

Philip Gilbert Hamerton, in his ad-
mirable papers on ''Intellectual Life"
thus talks to the man who stopped
his paper:'' newspapers IRE to civil
lied world what the daily house talk is
to the members of the family-they keep
our daily interest in each other, they
save us from the evils of isolation. To
live as a member Of the great white
race that has filled Europe and America
and colonized or conquered whatever
territory it has been pleased to occupy;
to share from day to day its thoughts,
its cares, its inspirations, it is neces-
sary that every man should read his
paper. Why are the French peasants
so bewildered and at sea? 1t is because
they never read a newspaper. And why
are the inhabitants of the United States,
though scattered over a territory four
teen times the area of France, so much
more capable of concerted action, so
much more interested in new discover
les of all kinds, and capable of selecting
and utilizing the best of them? 1t is
because the newspapers penetrate every
where, and even the lonely dweller on
the prairie or In the forest is not intel
lectually isolated from the great cur-
rents of public life which flow through
the telegraph and press"

Rotten Ships.

Another one of our men of war,
the Yantic, has been pronounced UNI
seaworthy and condemned. This YES
sci belonging to u government was
built by contract in a govern
ment yard, and under the
supervision of naval officers ap-
pointed for that purpose. The mater
ial used was white oak. But this gov
eminent vessel has only been in service
five years. She is so rotten and worm
eaten that the pumps are kept going
upon her constantly and her battery
had to be taken out of her at Cape Town
to keep her from straining herself as
little as possible when rolling. OF
course the material used in the build
ing of this vessel was not what it was
guaranteed to be, for ships, when prop
erly built, are made to last for an in
definite period of time; and there is no
reason assigned as to the cause of the
Yantic's decay, except that she has
been in constant service since she was
launched, just five years, or thereabouts,
ago. The naval con structor and con-
tractors however know all about the
matter and no doubt were fully cogni-
zant of the swindle they were per-
petrating on our government, when
they palmed off this poorly constructed
vessel, made out of inferior material,
