the veteran dead beat. DR.. Thomas $50
called) lat large number Of influential
citizens last week petitioned the Governor
to pardon him. His sentence, it will be
recollected, was ten lashes. Thomas
counsel, Mr.. Harry Tucker, was as con-
slant in his efforts for the pardon of this
genteel looking old tramp, as he was in his
defence on trial, and met with success at
last, as he has received pardon from Gov
Holiday, who gives the following reasons
therefor:
The prisoner is man of fifty years old
and the physician, upon examination

fies ''that the infection of the punishment
passed npon him by the court. with the
complication of diseases with which he is

The passengers wire confined to their

HOW HOT 1T IS IN THE sun.
rCornhill Magazine. !

lCCENn4A aAeAAAIe-4
We can measure the quantity o
heat that the sun constantly emits, be
cause we can measure the amount
received by our earth, which inter
cepts about 10000, OO0th part Of all
tho light and heat emitted by the sun
We thus find that in every second ct
time the sun emits as much heat As
would result from the combustion OF
ii, 600. 600. 900 tons Of coal. In pass
ing, it may be convenient to notice
that each portion Of the suns surface
as large as our earth emits as much
heat per second as would result from
the combustion Of 1,000,000,000 tons
of coal-a simple and easily remem-
bered relation. Now it is easily cal
culated from this that If the suns
whole mass consisted Of Goa, and
could burn right out to the last ton,
maintaining till then the present rate
of emission, the supply would not
last more than 5000 years. As the
sun has most certainly Iccn emitting
light and heat for a longer period than
this, the idea that the solar fire IS
thus maintained is, of course, alto
gether intenable. There are, howev-
er, many other reasons Tor rejecting
the idea that the sun is composed of
burning matter, using the word burn
ing in its proper sense, according
to which piece Of cal in q fire is
burning, where a red-hot iron is not
burning hot. In like manner we find
ourselves compelled to reject the be-
lief that the sun may be body raised
at some remote epoch TO an intense
heat throughout lis entire mass, and
gradually cooling. For We find that
in the course Of few thousands of
years such mass would cool far more
than the sun has cooled If it has
cooled appreciably at alI) even within
the historic period; and we have evi-
dence that he has poured his heat on
tie earth during periods compared
with which the duration Of the human
race is but second amid centuries,
while the duration Of historic races
is utterly lost TO comparison.
