The Heat Yielded hY inc Sun.

Since there is every reason to believe that the suns radiation is equal in all directions, it follows that, II Inc sun were surrounded by great shell of Ice, one inch thick and ls6, ,000, 900 miles in diameter. it's rays would just melt the whole in the same time.
 If, now, we suppose this shell to shrink in diameter, retaining, however, the same quantityi of ice by increasing Its thickness, 1t would still he melted in the same time. Let the shrinkage con- tinue until the inner surface touches the photosphere, and it would constitute an envelope more than mile in thickness. through which the solar fire would still thaw out its way in the same two hours and thirteen minutes; at the rate, ac- cording to Herschel's determinations, of more than forty feet minute. Herschel continues that. if this ice were formed into 8 rod 453 miles in diameter, and
 darted toward the sun with the velocity of light, its advancing point would be melted off as fast as ii approached, II py any meens the whole of the solar rays could be concentrated upon it. Or, to put il differently, ii we could build uo solid column of ice from the earth to the sun, 70 miles and ai quarter in
 diameter, spanning the inconceivab.e abyss of ninety-three millions of miles, and if then the sun should concentrate
 his power upon it, it would dissolve and melt. not in hour nor a minute. but Tn a single second; one swing of the pendu- lum, and it would be water; seven
 more, and t would be dissipated in
 vapor.
 In formulating this last statement we have, however, employed, not Her schel's figures, but those resulting from later observations, which increase the solar radiation about twenty-five per cent, giving fifty feet and forty feet as
 the thickness of the ice-crust which
 the sun would melt of of his own sur | face in a minute. An easy calculation shows that to produce this amount of I heat by combustion would require the l hourly burning of a layer of anthracite coal about sixteen feet Give meters) thick over the entire surface of the sun

Cloth Made of Sponge.

One of the recent German inventions consist of a new kind of cloth, which is composed principally or entirely of sponge. In it's manufacture the sponges are first thoroughly beaten with heavy hammer, in order to crush all the min eral and vegetable impurities. so that they can be easily washed out; they are then dried and pared with sharp knife, the pairing being sewed together. The fabric which is thus obtained is describ bed as being free from all the danger which sometimes arises from the absorption oi poisonous dyes into the system: 1t ab- sorbs without checking the precipitation, SO as to diminisll the danger of taking cold: it is a conductor, and therefore helps to maintain a uniform surface tenn. perature; it can he more readily cleansed than the ordinary woolen garments; its flexibility decreases the liability of chaf- inQ: and tue ease with which 1t can be employed in shoes. stockings, drawers, undershirts and other articles ot cloth inr. will, it is thought. render the new material especially useful as q protection against rheumatic and pulmonary at- tacke.

Words of Wisdom.

People seldom improve much when they have no bettersmodel than them selves to copy after.
 Poverty often deprives a man of all spirit and virtue. It is hard for an empty bag to 8, and d..upright.
 A man cannot give better legacy to the world than well educated family.
 The moment man begins to rise above his fellows, he becomes mark for their missiles. ;.
 Don't get soured with the world; 1t does not mend matters for you. but 1t makes YOU very disagreeable to others.
 Be courteous with all, but intimate with few; and let those few be well tried before you glve them your contl- dence.
 IfEyou can say nothing good oi any one say nothing at all. for in friendship as in love we are often happier in our knowledge.

TIMELY TOPICS.

Nervous persons who are troubled with wakefulness and excitsbility usually have strong tendency of blood to tho brain. with cold extremiLies. The pressure of blood on the brain keeps it in q stimulated or wakeful state, and the pulsatious Of the head are often pain iul. Let such rise and chafe the body and cxtremities with brush or towel, or rub smartly with the hands, to pro mote circulation and withdraw the ex- cessive quantity of blood from the brain, and they will fall asleep in few moments.
 During the voyage of the czar of Rus sia's yacht Livadia to Brest an accident of a startling character occurred. A man engaged as stoker was asked to hold an electric lamp that was being swung for lighting the stokehole. He Intentionally touched the wire with one of his hands, and with the other com pleted the current by grasping the brass rod surrounding the lamp. The force of the current struck him dead. All efforts to revive him were unavailing, and the disintegration of the tissues of the body was found next day to be so great that it was necessary to bury him at sea.
 Of the I,62s, ,0OO, GOO gallons of milk produced in the United States in a year, 1t is probable that about eighth is used in rearing and fattening of calves, leaving balance of l, ,424, 800, 900 gallons for consumption in the form of milk, butter. cheese and in cooking. If this was all made into cheese it would pro- duce over 500,00O tons of ripe cheese, assuming that little over gallon of milk makes one pound of green cheese and that 1t loses fifteen per centin ripen- ing. This would give us all about ten ounces per head, per week. Or it would make S3O,000 tons of butter. receiving twenty-two pints to the pound, or five ounces per head, per week.
