Extension of the M. P. r. r.

thence north to Arena, was laid before
the people Of Dodgeyille last week by

Mr.. Robbins stated that If Dodge
vile would give aid to the amount
Of 100000 the road would be built to
that place sometime during the pres
ent Summer. The people of Dodge
vile are unable to consider the prop
osition until it is definitely ascertained
whether the contractors Of the narrow
guage railroad Will accept Of the aid
voted to that project on condition OF
the construction Of the proposed route.
There seems to be but little doubt that
some decisive steps will be taken to
secure 4 railroad north through the

The announcement of one of the Pacific
railroad companies that attempts, based on
Secretary SchurZs recent decision, to pre-
empt lands granted cOnditOnally to it by
Congress, will be resisted in the courts, is in
accordance with general expectation. 1t Is
aeld by the companies that their lands are
" disposed of " within the meaning OF the stat
ute, being mOrtgaged for the payment Of
bonds. They claim that they hold the lands
only as agents and cannot regain title to them
except BY paying the debts for which they are
pledged as security 1t is argued on the other
hand that as the mortgages knew of the con-
ditions under which the lands were held, their
acceptance of the prospective proceeds of the
sales of such lands as a security for debt was
made with the knowledge that beyond a GER
tain period reduced price must be accepted
for the land. Consequently, as the railroad
company could transfer no right which il did
not possess, the provision OF the original
grant remains in force. The result of this
collision between the interests of settlers and
railroad companies will, therefore, be finally
determined in the courts

One of the results of the eclipse will be to

One of the results of the eclipse will be to
revive the discussions about the alleged planet
Vulcan. Leverrier, having effected the dis
cOyery OF Neptune by determining the orbit
OF planet that would produce known per.
turbatlOnS in Saturn, was encouraged to ap-
ply the same process to Mercury and an
nOunced that an intra- mercurial planet, which
he called Vulcan, caused the perturbatiOns of
the planet within whose orbit it revOlved. If
there is such planet as Vulcan, it is mys-
terry, and has succeeded perfectly in pulling
the astronomers. Within three years after
Leyerrier'S announcement. DIR. Lescarboult
saw what he supposed was the transit
of the planet across the suns disc,
and observers in the year 1876 also
believed that they detected it. But these are
the only times when, if at all the mysterious
Vulcan has put in an appearance. though any
wallregulated planet would under the sup
posed conditions of the existence of Vulcan,
have appeared at several times in the past to
ObSeryant astronomers. But now Professor
Watson reports the discovery of an unknown
body, of between the fourth and fifth magni-
tude, about twO-and- a half degrees south of
The sun. This is presumably Vulcan, and be-
lief in the existence of the planet will be
strong until the time of its next advertised
appearance, when failure on its part to show
itself will put us back in the doubts from
which we started.
Edison's trip to the west has resulted in the
discovery that there is considerable heat in
the suns corona. His taSimeter was, how
ever, too delicately adjusted, and the unex-
Dected heat could not be accurately measured.
So the experiment was both succ ,ssful and
unsuccessful as reported, with seeming con-
tradictiOn, in the dispatches

The latest theory in regard to the mysterious
and destructive explosion of candy factory
which happened in New York last December,
ascribes it 10 the presence of a powder said to
be much more powerful than dynamite, the
inventor Of which had an office in one of the
buildings destroyed. IL is necessary that some
solution OF the puzzle be discovered. AMI if it
can be proven that the powder was present in
sufficient quantities TO cause so terrible an ex-
plosiOn, this explanation will be accepted, as
il recOnciles, satisfactorily, the varying state
ments of those who witnessed the disaster.
