SOLAR LIGHT AND HEAT.

A writer in one of the foreign reviews,
speaking OF the nature and source Of the
sun'slight and heat, remarks that 80 brill
liant display is kept up by the Combus-
tion or destruction Of something appears
to be generally, II not universally main
tanned, but what the matter is or may
be, and how supplied, no probable deter
mination has yet been arrived at. Fur
ther, the intensity Of the solar light and
heat is easily proved, and that II resides
chiefly, if not entirely, at the surface
the latter, also, on close inspection, being
found to be in state Of excessive agta-
ton, and experiences periodical disturb
ances and alterations of most striking
character. When, too, periodical chang
es are seen, secular ones may be expect
ed also and, ifthe former we're of reg
ular character, the latter may be neces-
sarily inferred but, although no regular
law has been made out for the sun, the
probability of their slow variations
through long periods Of time is great,
and is increased when we turn our atten-
tion to those other suns, the stars, and
find some of them decreasing and others
increasing, or going through regular per-
iods of varied lengths, and many degrees
Of gradation in brightness. The same
may also be inferred from the geological
discoveries ofthere having been formerly
glacial ages in the world, and again tor
rid ones, there being no other known
cause equal to producing the effects OBJ
served. Such, in a word, is the great
problem which yet awaits solution.

THE LONDON TOILERs.

WOrklngman's Quarter and Its Scenes in
London.
Edward Kings Letter to the Boston Journal
There are corners of London which
spring and sunshine never touch; gloomy
alleys and smoky lanes which, although
perhaps deCently clean, give the stranger
the impression that they are squalid and
unwholesome. Tired of the crowd in
Regent street, the other day, and of the
crying Colors in the motley toilets of the
women shopping on the famous avenue,
/ turned aside to the right, and after five
minutes rapid walking, could have i'm
agined myself two hundred miles from
the West End. 1 had entered upon a
wilderness of narrow lanes, where the
small, unornamented houses were crowd
ed together as by some patent squeezing
process. Frowzy children frolicked ard
gambolled in the dirt, or ran with pitch
ers to the public house for beer. 1t was
the dinner hour of the working class,
and from north, south, east and west,
came long professions of under-fed oper-
atives, nearly all young, dowdy and
melancholy. The girls presented a sad
spectacle, Their language was more than
free. Whatever Womanliness they may
have at some remote period possessed,
had been swept away by association with
rough Doors in the street, and in the
squalid little houses in which they are
doomed to live. There seemed no grace,
no charm-not one atom of poetry in
these starvelling lives. Smoke hung in
clouds just above the roofs of the dwell
ings, and in some blind passageway or
dark angle where streets meet, there was
blackness as of night. The men and
women living in these sinks and stews
have but one source of amusement, the
public house." This institution is rep
resented as managed with view to the
prevention of abuses, but it seems to me
to be open just when it should be closed,
and Theoretically closed just when it
should be open. Sunday evening at six
o'clock, if take a walk through this
sooty and smoky section, L shall see these
operatives whom | have just described
waiting in long lines to be let into the
dingy compartments of the "public."
There they will remain as 'long as their
means will permit-men and women sit
ting together in the sickening atmos-
phere, and only arising to stumble home
through the gloom to dull rooms filled
with dampness Perhaps, too, l shall see
groups of drunken women fallen on the
threshold Of the public" or dancing
and shrieking as their sodden husbands

THE KINDER -GARTEN.

Kindergarten is german word, and
means children's garden, or nursury,
primary school in which young child
rem are taught the rudlments of educa-
ton by what is known as the object plan,
1t is school in which the physical de-
velopment of the child is sought by ju-
diCial exercise, under the direction of an
instructor, to teach proper forms of
speech, the correct use and meaning OF
words from their application to familiar
objects. The Kinder'gertnerin takes
the place of the mother in directing the
mental and physical growth, and pre-
pares the child for the more abstract
studies of the school room.
This method was first introduced by
Pestolotzi, an eminent educator of Swift
zerland, nearly a century ago, and has
been in vogue in that country and Ger
many ever since, and of late years has
been introduced into the primary depart
ments of this country in the imperfect
form of object lessons, which at one time
had attained high degree of popularity
in the primary grades of our union
schools, but soon lost ground, and in
most places has been entirely abandon
ed, mostly for want of proper skill on
the part of the teachers, for no one can
become good instructor of children by
the objective method without natural
fitness or acquired tact. 1t is method of
teaching in which there is no text book
to depend upon, and the teacher cannot
be machine, run by books, but must be
living intellectual model and guide to
the pupil in leading the way to the dis
Coyery of knowledge.
In Swiss city kindergarten, as the
names implies, is a real garden, with it's
flower beds, its walks, its fountains, its
shade trees, its play houses, and rooms
for instruction supplied with an endless
variety of objects. The children are not
required to curve their spines over books,
and memorize what are to them mean.
ingless forms of words, for hours at a
time, but are taught living ideas of OBJ
servatiOn, by means of objects and charts
and after an hours indoor instruction,
they accompany their teacher to enjoy
the open air in health giving exercises
and observations.
1t is very common in Switzerland to
see teacher and his pupils out upon
the streets, in the parks, or climbing the
mountains, rambling through the for
ests, studying the paragraphs and look
ing at the grand pictures of the book of
nature, learning here lesson in botany,
by observing the tiny flower, the lofty
pines and spreading beeches, and study
ing the moses and the lichens, and
learning to trace the foot prints of the
Creator, over the rocks, through the gull
lies, along the babbling brooks, up the
mountains, by dashing waterfalls, to the
massive glaciers, and up to the eternal
SHOWS.
Our educational method deals too much
with the abstract; our children ought To

ST. MARKS MIssIoN.-The opening service

Mission in Waterville took place on Friday
evening, July 9Th. The service was read by
Rev. G. Z. Small, missionary in charge, and
the sermon, from I'd Cor. vi, 1, was preached
by the Rev. E. R. Brown of Unionvlle, Conn.,,
and was very appropriate to the occasion. The
chapel is 50 feet long and % feet wide, and is
built in the simple Gothic STYLE, the plans
being furnished by w. f. Fassett Of Portland.
A beautiful Gothic arch forms the chancel, and
two smaller arches on the right make the choir

gift from the Bishop Of the diocese. is made Of
red oak, beautifully finished. The seats are
movable and are built Of ash. The walls are
tinted, and the woodwork is all made of

Important Discovery.

Robert M. McCrindle, workman employed
in digging drain near the Transfer Station
yesterday, came upon collection of bones,
lying in the upper clay and fine sand of the
post-pliocene deposits. Mr.. G. B. Fuller was
at once called and ,oJx charge of the bones,
which he pronouuces those of walrus. The
bones found ARE the skull, scapule, ribs. and
few vertebre. Near the bones were found
fragments lof post-pliocene shells and inter-
mingled with them black substance, which
Mr.. Fuller thinks may be remains OF the soft
parts of the animal. No careful examination
of the bones has yet been made, and it is quite
impossible to tell whether they are of an ex.
tincs or living species of cetaces. This is the
first discovery of the sort in this vicinity,
though similar remains have been found near
Montreal in the posr-pliocene formation. The
post-pliocene is the most modern of the geologic
deposits, being overlaid only by the alluvium
or drift. Mr. Fuller considers the discovery an
important one and the bones valuable addi-
ton to the Museum of Natural History
