have lately seeu 1t stated in tex,
book dpon cleo r;city and magneti,m
that the phenomenon of thusder ia not
fully accounted for by any theory a.
yet brought forward. Watcher thus be
so or not, am not sufficiently acqnaint-
ed with the subject to say. l believe
the commonly accepte theory Is that
vacuum is created in the psth of the
electric spark, and the subs quent in
rush of the air produces the detona-
ton. II, however, il be allowed that
the electric spark g not u material sub
stance, but merely 3 natural force or
mode Of motion, the possibility of this
theory is at once disposed of. 1t is
well-known fact that the passage of
electricity in high state of tension
through mixture of oxygen and n.y.
drogen, not only causes an explosion,
but also causes the formation of water,
and 1t seems TO me that. given the ex-
istapce OF free oxygen and hydrogen in
the region of the eli ctric disturbance.
the phenomenon of thunder is sufii-
GENTLY accounted for. Whether the
normal amount of hydrogen in the air
is sufficient to cause the s.u)endous
noise If thunder, l am not competent
to Judge; but, if not, 1 would suggest
thai the presence of an abnormal amount
m eht be accounted for by the process
of the eltctrolysis, which would pcob-
ably occur between the two poles (
the thunder cloud before the tension
became so great as 10 Cause rupture of
the circuit, and consequent discharge
of the electric spark. l would also
draw your attention to The fact that

lowed by an increase IN tbe quantity of
water deposited in the shape OF ram.

IL the Earth n Vast Furnace,

While engaged last May in watching
the transit of Mercury, Prof. Proctor and
his assistant Observed an Intensely
bright spot in the centre of the planet
% 1T crossed the SUMS disk. II IS re-
ported that, seeL through their power
full refraciiDg telescope, it appeared as
a mere vivid point of light, central in
the planet, like hole pierced ID the
middle of round black cardboard. 1t
was permanent from the time the plan
etc centre touched the one limb OF
the sun, until il reached the other limb
"a period OF seven hours. I'll the OBJ
servation was reliable" s.ys CONNIE n
tator, it proves that the planet has g
hollow axis. There are hypotheslstl
like John Cleves S5mmes, who have
long held that the axis of our globe, as
well as the axis of the other planet
spheres of our solar system, is similarly
hollow, with q clear tubular passage
from the North to the South pole" II
such is the fact, it is thought should
any of the balloopists of Chyne's expe-
ditior reach the Pole they will be rather
warmly received, the theory being that
II the earth is hollow cylinder, each
OF fhe Poles is the mouth of vast fur
nsce. In this way a German specialist
accounts for the Aurora BpreAl q, at
tributing the mysterious "NorIberD
Lights" to the glowiGg crater at the
Pole.

that ali California needs now or the
most that she seems to lack Is a health
Ter humanity. She IS only thirty-two
years old and has popu stion of near
~ million souls, territory as large
as L snce, with valleys for cereals
stretching like oceans on and on until
the vision struggles with immensely.
Her growth has been feverish rs well as
fast. The era upon her is not golden.
That came and went. 1t is not INTEL
lectusl. Californians rank well IN IN
tellect, but DOT pre-eminently. It ID
not an era of morality, though San
Francisco is probably as pure g city as
St. Louis, Chicago or New York.
Oakland ranks IN morals with Hart ORD
and Rochester and Providence. Il is
not there q time OF religious conscious
uefs. The churches are doing credit
abe work in many directions, but few
if any of their able are fiery champions
tor God and humanity, as a WEIGH, of
Albany, or q Kuk of Boston. Il is not
philanthropic era there. There are
not few earnest temperance workers,
but not of prominence like Minor or
Eddy, of Massachusetts; no John B.
Coughs, no Mary Livermofes. 1t 10 too
early to expect them. In the depart
ment Of humanity here Nipbe is too
often dumb or disposed to truckle.

and common sympathies would seem to
be the foreordAined guardianship Of
each, there the discriminating CRY II

IL he pursues he same plan as / g

startling. He has tea children, how
ever, and may take different course.
At present he is building a house on
Fifth Avenue, which is to be the finest
private residence in America, and en-
courages his sons to do likewise, whi( h
10 very different from old Cornelius

eXtravssent sums of money on himself
and not much on his children. OF

Nor from il let The bright, red blood too freely
now.
Just done enough, my pala'e pleases best,
Bring, too, the esculent ende-red too sons OF
crushed Hibsrna,
And with II, apples Of Jerusalem stewed,
And Beacon street berries" that the vulgar
name as beass
And whom thou hast this charge falnlled,
Bring mel for desert that mysterious thing
Thst puzx ed Eagiand's king;
Whose bothered brain could ne'er s7rmise
Just how the apple in the dough was put.
Then let me have q dark decocuon
OF that brown berry that the Arab loves.
Now. mental hireling. haste thy tsrdy iimAs,
For hnngered am ], and the craving which my
inwafds feel
Must soon be satisfied.
