Western Titles.

The traveller vino journeys westward
in our favored land should make up his
mind to accept without demur such
military or judicial rank and title as
may be conferred upon him. He may
be quite sure, too, that when his brevet
has once been settled west of the Mis-
souri, by proper authority it will cling
to him as long as he remains in that
region. re
"I don't half like" once remarked a
Scotch fellow-traveler Of the writer, to

motion Backward which T receive.
East of Chicago was Colonel; at Chi
cago I was Major; at Omaha man
called me Captain, and offered me din
ner for IS cents!"
One of the group, after careful sur
vey of the face and figure before him,
the kindly yet keen expression, and the
iron-gray whiskers, replied: "You
amt Colonel with a cent. I allow
that you're Jedge!"
And "Jedge" he was from that time
forth. Nobody called him anything
else. Newly-made acquaintance, land
lords, stage-drivers, conductors, all
used this title, until his companions
began to feel as if they had known him
all his life in that capacity. n. 4

The Heat of the Sun.

Since astronomers have computed
with scientific accuracy the vast amount
of heat radiated into space by the sun,
they have been puzzled to account for
it's unfailing supply. Whatever be the
nature of the heat, or however boundless
the capacity of the sun to furnish it,
exhaustion is inevitable, unless sources
OF supply exist outside of the sun.
AS there has been no perceptible
diminution of heat since the time of the
Babylonian and Greek astronomers, it
is evident that such sources of supply
must exist, and it is the task of science
to find them out. !
Prof. Peirce, of Harvard University,
who stands at the head of American
mathematician, has no doubt that me-
teorites are an unfailing fountain of
supply. he thinks our system is crowd
ed with them; that they are perpetually
falling upon the suns surface, and the
arrested motion is converted into heat.
The theory is plausible, and in har-
mony with what we know of the vast
number of meteorites that have their
orbits within our system, as shown by
the meteoric showers of August and
November. But it would seem that
there must be a slow accretion in the
mass of the sun in the course of cent
uries, disturbing the order of the sys-
tenn by the inevitable laws of gravity.
If there is substance enough, in the
meteorites to develop heat, there must
be substance enough to increase weight.

Cat and LOOking.HIass.

Many years ago, at Carne farm
house, where relatives of mine were
then living, the household cat was OBJ
served to enter bedroom in course of
being spring cleaned. The looking
glass being on the floor, the cat, on en-
tering, was confronted with it's own re-
Election, and naturally concluded that
he saw before him real intruder on
his domain. Hostile demonstrations
were the result, followed by rush to
the mirror, and then, meeting an OBJ
stacle to his vengeance, q fruitless cut
round to the rear. This maneuver was
more than once repeated with, of course,
equal lack of success. Finally, the cat
was seen to walk deliberately up to the
looking glass, keeping its eyes on the
image, and then, when near enough to
the edge, to feel carefully with one paw
behind, for the supposed intruder,
while, with it's head twisted round to
the front, it assured itself of the per-
sistence of the reflection. The result
of this experiment fully satisfied the
cat that he had been the victim of de-
fusion, and never after would he con-
descend to notice mere reflections,
though the trap was more than once
laid for him.-NdtaLTe.
