A dispatch from Peoria, ILL.,, to the ST. Louis
Globe Democrat, make the following interest.
ing statements probable: The Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy railroad company has pur-
chased the Chicago, Pekin II Southwestern
railroad. The money has not been paid as
yet, but the papers have been prepared, and it
only remains for the court to issue the order
to turn it over to the Chicago Burlington Il
Quincy In the meantime the Wabash road
sought to circumvent Its rival and so pur-
chased controlling interest in the bonds,
with the intention of gobblng up the road
entire, but the scheme did not WORK The
bonds will not aid them rs long as the interest
is paid and as the road Is having fine bust
ness and making money, 1t causes the man
agement no bother TO meet current obliga-
tions. The Wabash threatened to sever the
connections with the Toledo, Peoria 81 West
ern at Eureka, and thus cut the Chicago,
Pekin & Southwestern in two, but so long as
the road Is in the hands of the courts they are
unable to do this Therefore the Chicago,
Burlington Il Quincy will not have the trans
fer made to them until they have built enough
road to extend the line to Peoria from Eureka.
To this end it Is now conceded the proposed
Toledo extension of the Chicago, Burlington
is Quincy will extend merely from Peoria to
Eureka and connect with their late purchase,
the Chicago. Pekin & Southwestern. This
will bring them to Joliet, and connect with
the Michigan Central, thus stopping the
Iowa business from this point by the con-
structlen of less than twenty miles OF railroad.

under way, and the short gap completed with.

4 Storm Oh the sun.

Observers of the sun found indications of
intense CommOtiOn on the llth, 18th and 18th
of August. The sun spots were many, large
aud active, ana protu5erances shot up their
ecolorcd tongues with increased force and
velocity from the surface. The earth made in.
Simultaneous response to the solar storm. A
magnetic disturbance soon began, accompan
led by an unusual exhibition of earth currents.
The magnetic variations were frequent and
large, and the earth currents continuous and
strong. IL is years since the Greenwich OBJ
servatory has recorded magnetic disturbances
I'll equal magnitude, and 1t sends forth time
ly warning to telegraph engineers and espec
tally to those concerned in laying submarine
cables, that earth currents may now become
frequent as compared with the quietness of re-
cent years. A superb exhibition of aurora ac-
companied the magnetic disturbance. An OBJ.
server at the Stoneyhurst observatory de-
scribes il as recalling the magnificent displays
of 1869, 1870 and 1871, while the play of the
magnets was one of the most violent ever re-
corded at that observatory. The auroral dis
plays was extensively observed in England
and Scotland. One observer describes it as an
outDurst of streamcrs, appearing like wavy,
swaying curtains from the zenith to near the
horizon, with the loveliest green tiHts near the
zenith. Another writes that the streaks ex
tended from horizon to zenith, the color being
principally pale blue with reddish tnge.
Another paints the display as brilliant band
of white light followed by streamers, each
streamer fading away before the succeeding
one became very bright. Still another records
a glowing celestial picture of the northern
horizon skiried by bright white haze term
mating in an ill.defined arch, from which
sprang large number of broad streamers,
stretching toward the zenith.
The same phenomenon was seen by Ameri-
can observers, although ii did not receive the
attention bestowed upon it 10y European OBJ
servers 1t is evident, however, that the epoch
of grand auroras and magnetic storms has re-
turned, and that our northern skies for months
to come will probably be lighted with auroral
flames. More earnestly than eyer arises the
question Of the cause Of the sun.spot cycle and
It's intimate connection with electric and mag

no one, if the theory Of the disturbing lntlu-
cnce of the great planets is rejected, has found
the clue to the secret of sun spots. We can

Immigration ana our National Wealth

The tide of emigration to the United States,
which ebbed rapidly after the crisis Of 1873,
is now flowing on again in greater volume
than ever Going back for period of ten
wears we ind that IN 1870 the total number OF
immigrants into the States was 1877 900. In
1873 it reached AGO, 600 and from this, its high
est point, 1t swiftly declined, until in 1873 ii
had fallen to $4,000. Within the past twelve
months or SO, however, the arrivals have been
on constantly increasing scale, and If they
continue at the same rate as at present the
number of immigrants during the current
year will not fall short OF 100000. In 1855 a
commission, which inquired into the subject
and kept as accurate an account rs possible OF
The cash brought by the cmlEran's, placed the
average at about ia per head This average
was at the time objected TO as being TOO low,
and bearing in mind the testimony now borne
as to the better character of the immigrants,
the average at present is much more likely 10

teen years ago, The incoming Of 500, 900 emil
grants, therefore, may be SAID TO add ut once

count of the country. But the value Of the
immigrants Is not to he measured by the alto

fairly conclusive test which fixed the 7alue of

hammer of the auctioneer. IL Is only by indi.
rect and perfect modes that any idea of It's
worth can be obtained and so intricate 10 the
problem that little reliance can he placed up.
on the most elaborate calculations. For our
present purpose, however, IL Is not necessary
that any very minute estimates should be at
tempted 1t Will suffice If we give some
rough indication of the enormous additions
that are being made to the wealth Of the Unit
ed States by the continuous inflow Of skilled
labor and To that end let us first look at the
composition Of the enigrating body. In 1879
il was made up thus:

Males over ~. ........-....-.... Z per cent.
Males under 10. .................10 per cent.
