SCIENCE.

Wh0t ts the Zodidcal L,0ht f--This
glowing archway across tho skies, seen
SO frequently at this time of tho year
shortly after sunset, writes CORES
pondent of The Providence Journal, Is
one OF the astronomical puzzles that
men OF science are Zealously trying to
pull to pieces. Thus far their efforts
nave Dcen unsuccessful, and the un-
practiced observer who looks with sim.
pie wonder and admiration upon the
ell1ptical glow in the evening sky
knows almost us much of its constitu-
tion and mission in the divine economy
as the wisest astronomer in the land.
various are the theories that have been
advanced to account for the presence
OF this intruder Oh terrestrial domain.
some observers consider it ring Of
matter revolving round the earth; 9TH
ers look upon 1t as u collection of min
ute particles of metcoric or cometic
matter travelling around the sun in
very eccentric orbits. More recent and
more searching examination gives far
grander explanation of its origin, maxi
Ing the zodiacal light a continuation of
the corona, and thus indicating len
tlcuiar-shaped atmosphere ofinconceiv-
eoie rarity surrounding the sun and
extending out near the plane of the
ecliptlc beyond the orbit of the earth.
Our most thoughtful scientists do not
accept this view, but suggest another
even more sublime and awc-inspiring.
1t is that the whole space between tbs
earth and sun is filled with immense
clouds of meteoroids, and that the sun
light reelected on these cosmical atoms
OF floating star-dust is the cause of the
soft celestial glow that now fingers
evening after evening In our Western
sky.

THE STACY FILLER.

In the twenty-frst annual report OF
the Trade and Commerce of AIilwau-
kee we find the following description
of the Stacy Filler, one of which is
now in use at the Junction Mills i'll
in this village:
A very simple instrument has recently
been introduced, known as the Stacy Filler,
by which the operation Of filling the tester
can be performed by inexperienced parties
with as much precision as the most expert
eneed adept in the business. This filler con-
sists OF a funnel made to fit over the bucket
and adjust to a balance on the beam, with a
series OF valves in the bottom through which
the grain flows with uniform pressure until
the bucket is filed, about three quarts OF
grain having been put into the funnel or fill
er. The valves are then closed and the sur
plus grain turned out OF the filler. The grain
in the tester is then weighed in the manner
described above A great many tests have
failed to show any percepuble variation be-
tween the weight OF gain tested 10y using
the Stacy Filler or tested in the manner
adopted by experts The Stacy Filler has re-
ceired the approval OF the Chamber OF Com
merce Grain Inspector and our leading grain
dealers and commission merchants. Its gen-
eral adoption will remove the only valid OBJ
lection 70 the use of the tester, viz, the df-
ierent methods practiced by different parties
in filing the tester. Its general introduction
would insure perfect uniformity in every re-
spect.
