value OF the magnificent cattle ranges

We desire to extend our congratula-

what has happened To Mr.. Sherman
within the past few days.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Sherman jOurn-
eyed To Maine, with the fell purpose of
taking the stump for his friend Mr..

which that latter individual was inter

speeches, the only effect of which was

humiliation. He started off bravely at
Steubenyille with the inauguerative
effort of the campaign, and for brief

his third appearance on the political
platform the incredulous Ohio voter

sherman could not answer. On ms
next appearance, the same condition OF
things was observed. Embarrassed and
chagrined, Mr.. sherman concluded that
discretion was the better part of valor,
even for an Ohio man, and and decided
10 take the only course left to him, and
evacuate the State. Deprived thus
rudely Of his opportunity TO impress
himself upon his neighbors, Mr.. Sher-

MORE ABOUT THE SUN.
Prof. Langley Before the Sara
toga Science Convention.

During the session Ofthe Science Con-
yentiOn at Saratoga, Prof. Langley, OF
the Allegheny observatory, delivered an
address on the sun. Science teaches
that we were called into existence and
remain in existance only through the
sun. The present system OF solar study
began in 1860 and is distinguished from
the other systems by the use OF new In
struments and photography. Since
then this system has grown almost to
science. In 1862 new impetus was
given To the study by the supposed dis
covery of immense bodies on itssurtace.
Subsequent telescope study in Europe
and America has demonstrated the eX-
istance OF those spots or bodies, but
nothing is vet known of their substance.
Until 1860 il was unknown whether
these protuberances belonged tOthe sun
or the moon. He detailed the prOduc-
ton of negative of a portion OF the sun
on which there were counted over a
million spots, and which was photo
graphed in one twO-thousandth part of
a second. The science of photography
has so advanced that within a few
months objects have been photographed
in absolute darkness. The atmosphere
i'm most places is not favorable 10 sue
cessiul telescope observations. Much
more could be accomplished in the
clearer air of Mt. Etna or on the table
lands OF Colorado. There are many
popular errors as TO the effect OF the
sun on the earth. We are no more able
TO tell from the sun what the weather
will be next week than what the harvest
will be next year. The heat of the sun
is equal to one horse power for every
ten feet of surface of the earth. The
waste of sun power IN the Adirondack
region, for instance, is greater than all
the steam power used in the world.
The machines for concentrating the
suns heat now in use in Europe may
i'm time become useful. We may look
i'm future TO substitute for coal in the
waste heat of the sun. Although
knowledge now, as in the past, as TO the
effect of the sun on the earths's atmOS-
phere is limited, We may i'll future fore
tell the results of a harvest year IN adj
vance and fOresee famines such as have
DESTROYED millions OF people in times
past. The Immense heat from the sun
is tempered by the atmosphere of the
earth. The thickening of this atmos-
phere would bring on again an age OF ice
whilst its thinning would dissolve the
earth. This generation will see no
change.

Not Too Fast.

Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
There is great danger that iron-mas-
tiers, now that genuine revival has
taken place IN their trade, Will unduly
advance their prices Their business
has been suddenly transformed from a
condition of perfect stagnation and ruin
Gus depression TO one of great activity
with an almost unlimited demand. \ few
months, yes, a few weeks ago, a very
limited number of furnaces were run
ming full, and most OF them had more
or less iron on hand; now every fur
mace that continued in blast during the
period of depression is running full,
others that had been lille have been
started again and all have plenty OF bus
mess. and most Ofthem are behind their
orders.
This sudden and radical change in
the condition of the trade has to a GER
tain extent turned the heads OF IRON
masters. They are all excited; the
market is excited; prices are being push
ell up rapidly, and the danger is that
they may be advanced so high that re
action may be brought abOnt. We
know of considerable order having re-

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1879-09-04

natural that men who have been doing
business for years for nothing, or at an
actual loss, should desire to make all
the money they can when the oppor-
tunity presents itself. But ii prices
are advanced beyond a certain point,
furnaces now idle will be brought into
requisition, and recourse will be had to
the foreign markets. In fact, English
iron has already begun to move in this
direction. The cable announced the
other day that the first shipment OF pig
iron TO America that had taken place
for many months had just been made.
The indications are that as much pig
iron will be manufactured this year as
in 1872, which was the most productive
year on record. This quantity, it is
believed, will be sufficient TO satisfy the
demand. In fact, it is doubtful wheth-
er more than 100000 tons annually
will be needed for years to come. There
are at the present time ample facilities
for producing this amount. 1t is evil
dent, therefore, that is would be very
poor policy for the furnace-men to push
up their prices to a point that would in
duce the construction OF new furnaces
or large importatiOns OF iron from
abroad.
