therein eulogizing highly the contentious
ness and precision of the instrumentalists
aud the excellence of the soloists. The
band played in an intermediate at the thea

says that the performance was remarkable
for enfraih and precision, and that it Gre

The Sums Power.

1t is generally known that the SUMS
light and heat support vegetable and
animal life in our world, and that with
out the sun universal death would reign
on earth. But it is not 80 generally
known that the suns heat is real
mechanical force, compared with
which steam and all other known forces
are weak. The mechanical value ofthis
force has been calculated by scientific
men. They find that the heat sent to
the earth every minute by the sun, would,
If it could be made available, do az
much work as two thousand steam-en-
pines of a hundred horse power each,
working constantly for four Thousand
years. -.
1t is hard to understand how this
enormous power is maintained by the
sun, for it is universal law that all force
expends itself and the sun, unless new
sources of supply are furnished, must
eventually become exhausted. Astron
omers are not agreed as to the source o1
| supply in the sun, and many believe
that it will be ultimately exhausted
and life upon our earth cease.
A number of inventors have been try
ing for many years to devise solar en-
CINE whose sole motive power shall b.
the SUMS heat. Capt. Ericsson, whit
designed and build the first monitor
invented such an engine some years ago
which, we believe, demonstrated that
was probable that the sun might b
used as motive power.

about the Bogardus kicker, and Max

a jack-knife, and Burdette's movable
floor that slides a man out of the edi-

PIo MONO AND ST. PETER.
New York Times.1

His Holiness, Pope Pho Mono was re-
ceived by his illustrious predecessor, st.
Peter, with smile of cordial welcome.
You have had long and tranquil
reign" said the Saint. {" trust you
have left the affairs of eur holy church
in fourishing condition on earth 2"
His Holiness assured st. Peter that
the Catholic faith was never more firmly
rooted and grounded, and the influence
of the Church never more firmly estab-
lished than when he left Rome; in fact,
that Macaulay was right when he said
she would yet exist in undiminished
yigor when that New Zealander was
making his celebrated sketch of the
ruins Of Pauls.
The Saint looked pleased, and said to
his Holiness, Il am glad to hear so fa-
vorable an account of your spiritual
reign. Was your temporal reign equally
successful T
"Not in all respects" replied his
Holiness; still left behind me about
twenty-four millions of money"
"Indeed," said st. Peter, "we touched
no such sum as that in our day. To
whom did you intrust such vast hoard
with 2"
"The Rothschilds," said his Holiness,
hesitatingly.
Something like frown overspread
the features of the Saint.
"The Rothschilds," said he, with de-
liberation, @are they not Jews2"
"I believe-that is to say-I think
yes-they are," said his Holiness, with
still greater hesitation.
And do you mean to tell me" said
the Saint, sternly,," that you, the Vicar
of Jesus Christ on earth, deposited the
contributions of our holy Church with
the descendants of those men who re-
viled and spat upon and cruelty put
Him to deathf
"WelLahI-yes, I did,

sternly. "You should have had pow

"I did have powerful one" replied
his Holiness. "The truth is, st. Peter,
I did not know any Christians whom
was willing to trust with so much
money!"

pEcc1's ELECTION A SURPRISE.
Norwich Bulletin.1


While Cardinal Pecci's name was used
as one of the four or five leading can
didates for the papacy several days be-
fore the conclave met, while there were
persons rash enough to predict that he
would be the choice, and while he has
been regarded as q candidate at times
for twenty years or more, there is never
theless something surprising In his selec-
tion to succeed PITTS TX. In the first
place, most of the European Journals
whose opinions are entitled to regard,
have been expressing the belief for weeks
past that in the college of cardinals the
saints" or irreccncilables were far
more numerous than the politicians"
or those who would make friends with
the civil governments. 1t has been
thought, too, that the very fact that the
Pope is no longer secular prince and
not dependent on the favor of secular
governments, would also tend to secure
the election of a man who would not
yield particle to the italian or German
government, but would peremptorily
insist on all the papal prerogatives.
That the very opposite policy has been
pursued is certainly matter for surprise
and speculation. In the next place, so
far back as 1e46, when Gregory XVI
died, and Pecci was bishop Of Perugia
and only cardinal "in petto" (or in
secret), he and Antonelli were enemies.
iAntonelli became the chief counselor
of Plus TX, and though the latter openly
bestowed the insignia of the cardinal

BENEFIT OF MACHINERY.

: That the condition of the industrial
classes has been materially improved by
machinery is demonstrated in many diff
ferent ways-cheap furniture, wearing
apparel, ETC., and employment for those
who, years ago, could find no field.
The sewing machine itself has been a
blessing. In olden time there were few
branches of employment open for women
outside of home duties, and a poor man
with q family of girls could hardly
struggle through. To-day, thanks to
the improvements in machinery, poor
mans family can all help him, and
tighten his load. The cry of the agita-
tionists, that the laws are in favor of the
capitalists and manufacturers, is seen at
once to be false, when one looks around
and sees necessaries, and even luxuries,
within the reach of almost every one,
thanks. to the different Improvements
that enable capital to manufacture SO
much cheaper than formerly.
Where is there mechanic who would
be willing to go back to the early days
Of machinery and wages, and to live
like the workingman of old2 It is true

from patents; but, as the genius of in
vention has progressed, so has the world
advanced. And when we see the work
ingmah of to-day, after his days work,
amusing himself, or reading at the libra
ries, and in dress and appearance the
equal of any man, one is forced to the
conclusion that the condition of the in
dustrial classes of America has changed
materially for the better.
There are only two classes of people
who are against the patent laws, and
who would like to see them abolished.
One is the rich man, who would like to
get the por mans ideas for nothing.
The other is the ignorant, bigoted COM
munist, who, because he has not brains
enough to invent anything himself, and
having nothing to lose, not even ideas,
would like to benefit by other mems
brains and energy, or pull all down to
the same level, as governments rarely
ever adopt an invention during the life
time of the inventor.

THE WHIPPING POST FOR HAzING.
New York Graphie

The Princeton hazing business calls
attention anew to the failure of the new
tangled notions about letting college
boys have their own way. American
boys are not German boys, and however
suitable the German system may be to
the country which gave it birth, it
seems destined to break down when tried
here. American college boys are fat,
well fed and most of them with money.
They are an entirely different class from
the poor boys who crowd q German uni
versity, struggling hard to win a schol-
arship for the hopes of livelihood
which college honors hold out. Old or
young, these Germans are men, and feel
the responsibility of the situation. They
can be trusted. Our boys have no such
weight upon them. Their fathers have
money and the young men hope to spend
it. College is not training school for
the most Of them, but rather place af-
fording chance for fun"
Criminal fun, which hazing is, ought
to be sternly repressed. Co-education
might do something towards doing away
with it, for the presence of the opposite
sex and the desire to stand well with
the girls" would tend 10 repress the
savage in all but the most case-hardened.
But young blood must be cooled. Dis
cipline is needed. And very often de-
grading and humiliating mode of pun
ishment has more effect as a deterrent
than the most stringent discipline or the
most exemplary punishments. Public
whipping at the town whipping post is
the cure for hazing. 1t might not sue
ceed, but the chances are that it would.
The bare back of young sophomore
would not be very heroic spectacle for
his fellows, and if one was punished in
this way the ofense for which he suffered
this degradation-the ogspunishment
would cease to be popular. 1t may be
remembered that in Rome, when the
suicide of women became common, q
law was passed directing the exposure Of
all femal suicides nude to the public
gaze. Woman's native modesty acted
as the best deterrent, and to avoid post
mortem shame the illsof life were borne
Shame to be visited on one while living
