Uneven Wool.

A writer, who is an authority on
wool, says that, as a matter of fact,
there is nothing which renders wool
so useless for certain kinds of manu-
facture as unevenness or break in the
continuity of the thickness of fibre,
and there is no defect more common
and nothing that, year by year,
touches the sheep-grower more Sc
yerely ON that tender part of his
anatomy-the pocket. However good
the wool is in all other respects, the
keen eye of the buyer singles out the
defective wool, and down goes the
price of ii. And il is not mere fancy
that regulates the prices, for the une-
ven wool will break at the weak pla-
ces during the first process of manu-
facture. Some persons suppose that
this uneyenness of fleece Is heredita-
ry in certain animals, and perhaps
unevenness might be made hereditary
by generations of ill-usage and neg
lect. But as the wool of an entire
flock is found TO be uneven one year
and not so another, il shows that the
management has more to do with Il
than descent. Ii sheep are allowed
TO get into bad condition, are neglee-

QUARANTINE TROUBLES.
Spring Station will not be a Hospi.
tai for Houston.
Shot Gun. and covhia...

IL will be remembered that the
Telegram, a few DAYS ago, spoke of
the quarantine officer ON the Interna-
tional and great Northern road be-
ing forced by the citizens Of Spring
Station to take again on the train a
blockade runner that he had put off
there the previous day. He only
brought him three or four miles be-
low when he again ousted the I'M
fortunate. The man went back TO
the station second time, and was
detected and held there by the citi-
zcns. Monday evening, as the train
went up, n telegram came to the con-
ductor telling him 10 have the health
officer secreted in the train when II
reached Spring, as he might have
some trouble there. This was car
ried out AS well us possible, but il
failed to accomplish its purpose.
The cars pulled up to the station and
were hardly still before men were
rushing through IL searching for the
quarantine officer. In the midst of
this proceeding the conductor signal
ed the engineer to go ahead, but
fellow with n six-shOoter had stepped
into cab and told him not to touch
that throttle until they found the man
sought. They were then told that
the officer that put the man offbefore
was not on board, but they wanted
TO see the officer who was on board.
The circumstances were trying, but
Corporal j. IL Z. Dolan had to step
out of the baggage car on the plat
form amid profussion of shotguns
and cowhidcs. Seeing that this was
not the man they wanted, there was
disappointment perceptible ON every
countcnance, but they did not lay
violent hands on the innocent for the
guilty, but gave him fair warning
that this must be the last time any
officers put off a man from any in
fected point there. Twenty men
with blunderbusses and quirts went
very far to show that business was
meant, and that there had better be
other arrangements made.
The Health Officer at Willis also
informed the quarantine officer that
he could under no circumstances put
off anybody there in the future.
Superintendent Hoxie, of the In
ternational and Great Northern
Road, has telegraphed pass to DIR.

THE SUN.
Facts, Everybody Should Know.

The sun is $4,000 times as large as
this earth.
A lady who weighs 100 pounds
here would weigh 200 pounds If on
the surface of the sun.
The heat given off by the sun
would melt 287 10000 cubic miles Of
ice every second.
The diameter of the earth bears
the same relation TO its distance from
the sun as the breadth of hair to 1875
feet. .a..-,..s
A railroad travelling without stops
at the rate of forty miles an hour
would get to the sun in 263 years.
The sun is believed to become some
$50 feet smaller every year,
This contraction would be snfii-
Client to generate the enormous guam
tity of heat which it radiates.
Another theory is that comets and
meteoric matter falling into the sun
may be its aliment to offset the tre-
mendous loss which combustion GER
tainly involves.
1t would require the combustion
of coal over the entire surfsce OF the
sun every second to generate the
same amount of heat. tr
The stars are supposed to average
larger than one sun and to have plan
etary systems like his. ar
The nearest star is 100000 times as
far Off as our sun. taf
1t takes light eight minutes TO come
from the sun, but 1t must have re-
quired 10000 years to come from the
farthest visible star.
When the eleven-year storms on
the sun occur, the magnetic needle
on the earth is variable and some
times considerably DETECTED.
The earth is flying around the sun
at the rate of l 900 miles minute.
The sun and all the stars are NOV
ing through space, accompanied by
their planetary systems, at a ro'
varying from 20 to 200 miles
second.
Some of the sun-spots (craters) are
100000 miles in diameter, and one OF
them would easily swallow up the
whole of the planets, Jupiter himself
only making a mouthful.
Maedler's curious and brilliant
speculation is that the star Alcyone
is the central sun ofour universe, and
the visible stars are swinging around
it in orbits measured by millions of

paign in this state is to be conducted.
National issues will, Of course, enter di.
rectly into the contest as the entire Con.
gressional delegation of II Representa-
tives is to be elected, and hence il ia Of the
utmost importance that the Convention
act with wisdom ID making q declaration
of such policy and principles as are to
govern party action.
The public attention is directed almost
exclusively to the financial question as the
all absorbing one of the times, and tLis
must be met in a spirit of earnestness and
sincerity by the convention, and the plat
form must be explicit; so plain and out
spoken, that no charge of equivoeation
will be possible.
We believe that vast majority of Dem
ocrats in this State, as well as voters here
tofore acting with other parties, will favor
some such declaration of policy as put
forth by the Democracy of Indiana, and
that the Democratic party of this State
can have no hope Of success on any other.
Ii is possible and there are some indica.
tons peepiug out here end there, which
foreshadow such a move--that q few
prominent Democrats may attempt to
shape the platform toward hard money
ideas, or, at least, to neutralize the effect
of liberal and popular declaration OF
financial views, by framing q sort of milk
and water, half and-half affair, which will
only disgust the public, and ALLEVIATE
the support of the masses. This
kind of a scheme, which would be
directly in the interest of the Republican
party, should be watched and nipped in
the bud at its first appearance. Illinois
democrats want no squirting toward ex-
elusive hard money, contraction or resump.
ton In their platform, and they should see
to it that no half-dozen men of the Eaton
Sherman Hewett school of finance be
permitted to interfere with the adoption
OF such declaration as the people want.
We urge upon the county conventions
throughout the State to send strong
delegations to the State Convention; thai
is, to send able men and representative
men, who will insist upon putting the
Democratic party on arecord which the
party can endorse everywhere. We hope
the press will ventilate this subject
thoroughly, and arouse the local conven-
tons to the Importance of nominating
delegates who are undoubtedly sound on
questions OF currency and national finances
IN general With the right kind of a
platform, and the nomination of candi
dates who will command the approval
of the party, the Democracy can car
ry Illinois next fall by a handsome
majority, but should any laundering OF
equivocation, or any flavor of Wall street
Influence creep into the position taken BY
the Convention, the result would be nothing
but disaster. And. as a final word on
this subject, we suggest that it will be well
enough to watch that Hard Money
League" recently organized in Chicago.
1t may try to get some little off-shoots and
branches into the Democratic camp, and a
word of warning may not be amiss.
