Solemn Facts.

nA.N T.
1t would take 800, 900 earths to equal
the sun in size.
The sun is 400 times as far Off as the
moon.
A lady who weighs 100 pounds here
would weigh 2,700 pounds II on the sur
face Of the sun.
The heat given off by the sun would
melt 2s7, 100000 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 a hair to 125 feet.
A railroad train travelling without
stops at the rate of forty miles an hour
would get to the sun in 1853 years.
The sun is believed to become some
$50 feet smaller every year.
This contraction would be sufficient
to generate the enormous quantity Of
heat which 1t radiates.
Another theory is that comets and
meteoric matter falling into the sun
may be its aliment to offset the ire
mendous loss which combustion GER
tainly involves. 41o
1t would require the combustion of
thirty feet of coal over the entire sur
face of the u every second to gener-
ate the same heat.
The stars are supposed to average
lPrger than our sun, and to have plan
efarysystems like his.
The nearest star is 25O, 600 times as
far off as our sun. s.F.Gt7F
1t takes light eight minutes to come
from the sun, but it must have required
$4,000 years to come from the farther
est visible stars. .AS
When the eleven.year storms on the
IL occur, the magnetic needle on the
earth is variable, and sometimes con-
s~iderably detected.
The earth is flying around the sun at
the rate of 1000 miles a minute.
The u and all the stars are moving
through space, accompanied by their
planetary systems, at a rate varying
from 20 to 200 miles a second.
Some of the sun-spots (craters) are
100000 miles in diameter, and of
them would easily swallow up the whole
of the planets, Jupiter himself only
making a m%outhful.

Insanity.


1t seems to be a fact that mental dis
orders are rapidly on the increase, both
in this country and abroad. The re-
ports of leading asylums make this in
ference inevitable. The increase is not
merely absolute, but also in ratio. Eng
land and Wales show one insane to
every 373 of the population. The State
Of Massachusetts, reports one to every
423, New York one to every 5S7, Hli-
nois one to s66, and Iowa n to every
1,l01. While 1t has been held that a
solitary life predisposes people to men
tai unsoundness, it seems on the other
hand that the density of population,
beyond n certain limit, produces similar
results, though by different processes.
Increase of population brings with it
oyer-crowding, and affects the sanitary
arrangements of large tows to the hurt
of those who reside in them. Among
the causes that produce insanity, brain
work has received too much promi-
hence in the popular belief. Those en-
gagged in manual labor seem quite as
much disposed to unsettlement of rea-
son as those who work with their heads.
While over-study in youth has some in
luence on the causation of insanity,
vicious habits and animal pleasures
have considerably more. A mans
brains will stand a great deal of normal
exercise, but are very susceptible to the
action Of artificial stimuli. -Boston

SCHOOL EXAMINATION.

We confess to a feeling between doubt
and uncertainty as to our locomotive powers
when we made start for the upper school
house yesterday. The distance seemed too
great and We inwardly grunted and wished
for horse rail road. Through the kindness
Of our friend Merchandise We secured a lit
part Of the way, and when we arrived were
amply rewarded for our effort Miss Patten
has very pleasant little school room and a
bright looking set of scholars. She has only
been teaching there about four weeks and the
examination could not fairly be made test
of her ability as a teacher, either i'll the matter
of success OF failure on the part of the child
rem. The second and third reader classes
were undergoing the gentle process while We
were present and did very well. They were
we'll grounded in the principles of arithmetic
and the general questions i'll geography, all
about hemispheres and the equator and axis
and going round. There were few ques-
tons put in botany, as to how a plant grows,
its division, etc. which were promptly and cor
recNy answered. The little ones also dis
played knowledge of the primary colors,
and direction of lines, showing that the teach
or is painstaking in imparting instructions.
In the afternoon the lower second reader and
spelling classes were examined. The attend
ance at the examination was not large but
vas more than select, in the point Of fact it
was strictly professional, consisting of the
Principal of the high school, five of his teach
ers, the Secretary of the Board of Trustees
and the State Superintendent. Whether the
people up at that end care anything about
their school or not the above mentioned all of
whom walked long distance, have shown that
there are few, on this side of the track, who
take slight interest in the little ones and
wish the teacher we'll.

CARSON THEATER-PINK DOMINOS.

This lively thres-act comedy, played to g
good audience last night, came as a sort OF
desert to the more substantial courses of the
theatrical banquet of the previous evenings.
OF course it has no plot, because this would
be an objectionable innovation in a modern
comedy. The dialogue is etfervescent as
Roderer itself, ''Sparkling and bright in its
liquid light" of douNe entenire, while the sit
nations are perpexing and awkward enough
to start a wholesale divorce establishment on.
Pink Dominos' is suggestively ''naughty
aud correspondingly mice. It's full of con
tagious humor, and is not loaded down with
what is called heavy fun. The argument,
if this word is admissible, is substantially this
Maggie Wagstaf (SIrs. Norton Bush) and
Sophie Greythorne Cecil Grey through the
agency of ''a modest servant" Rebecca,
George Woodthorpe) set trap for their re-
spective husbands, batting the same with an
anticipated high old time" in the shape of a
masquerade at Cremorne Garden. Greythorpe
(Maeder) and Wagstaf (Sullivan), the hus-
bands aforesaid, in the flash vernacular, "tum-
bled to the racket The business is
brought about by notes sent TO c.
and W, which "the modest servant
has written. The wives as per
notes, are to wear pink dominos Joskin
Tubbs (CrOsbie), who obtains an invitation
in an irregular way, wants some of the mas
querade in his, aud forgetting the marital OBJ
legations to Mrs. Tubbs (Mrs Pheeme Rob
inson), goes to the Cromorne, where he has
Irritation (this is drawing it mildly with Miss
Barron (Mrs. Robinson), "a milliner girl,
whose Establishments (this is also mildly lead
him into queer ways. The complications at
the masquerade, the husbands OF Mrs. Wag-
staff and Mrs. Greythorno being innocent OF
any knowledge of who the wearers OF the pink
duminos really are are brimful Of fun, and
can only be appreciated when seen. The mas
querade over, explanations are in order, and
considerable lying. much of it done quite
clumsilv, follows 1t is simply impossible to
here describe the drolleries of the comedy,
and we intend attempting nothing Of the
kind; but advise those who failed to see
Pink Dominos' last night to 60 either to to-
days matinee, or to this evenings perfor
nance, promising them a treat of genuine
jollity. The piece moved quite smoothly
throughout the three acts, the actors ami
actresses all doing themselves full credit.
