MR.. BARLow's RAILROADS.

As heretofore announced, Hon. Brad
ley Barlow, president of the Southeast
ern, has bought the Lake Champlain
and st. Lawrence Junction Railroad,
which extends from Stanbridge on the
Central Vermont line to ST. Guillaume
on the Northern division of the first
named route, distance of 60 miles.
St. Guillaume is 81 miles from Sorel,
which is on the st. Lawrence, 65 miles
below Montreal. The line which has
changed ownership crosses the South
eastern at West Farnham and passes
through rich agricultural country
which furnishes profitable traffic. It
was originally narrow guage road and
has recently been operated by its build
ers with rolling stock furnished by the
Central Vermont. The new through
freight line which has just gone into
operation is very important one. 1t
is called the Quebec, Ottawa and New
England Air line, and comprises the
Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa, the South
eastern and all its branches, the Pas
sumpsic, the Boston, Concord and Mont
real, the Concord, the Boston and Lowell
and the Worcester and Nashua. lines,
with probably more to be added. The
great advantages which are expected to
come from this extended enterprise, both
to the roads concerned and the public,
will arise from the consolidation for
through business, all the various lines
retaining and controlling their local
patronage as heretofore. The CONSOLE
dated roads have begun putting on their
first installment of six hundred new
cars which will all be soon completed.
1t is understood that the Southeastern
is expecting close connection with the
Canadian Pacific, which will undoubted-
| ly be pushed forward to completion at
an early day. The Canada Central now
extends from Ottawa over a hundred
miles to Pembroke, which place it is
thought will be the eastern terminus Of
the great Canada line to the Pacific.

THE SENATE REFUNDING
BILL,

Senator Bayard for the senate finance
has reported the refunding
bill to the senate with all the objection
able features embraced in the house bill
stricken out. This bill provides for the
issuing of $4OO,OOO.OoO fve-tweuty
bonds, and also S300,0OO.O0O one-ten
certificates. each bearing three and a
half per cent interest. The secretary is
authorized to use temporarily, if in his
opinion it is necessary. not exceeding
$50,000,000 of the gold and silver in
the treasury in the redemption of the
five and six per cent bonds, and he may
at any time apply in his discretion the
surplus money in the treasury, not 9TH
erwise appropriated, to the purchase or
redemption of bonds or treasury notes.
The section in the house bill dragooniDg
the national banks into the purchase of
DOnus is stricken out entlrely, out the
banks will doubtless find three and a
half per cent bonds at par better in
vestment for term of years than the
four and four and a half per cents at
the present market rates. This bill, if
1t becomes law, will save the country
over Sl2,0O0,OO0 annually in interest,
1t is practicable measure, and though
some of its provisions, and especially its
omission of the hostile national bank
section, will encounter the opposition Of
the Bourbons, enough will be found to
vote for it to secure its passage

The Nearest Star.

In an interesting article on Southern
stars reprinted in Science, Mr.. Pope, OF
Nav Zealand, describes Alpha Centauri
ttbe known nearest fixed star to the earth.
fTh;s magnificent double star, ne says, is
j he finest object of the kind in the heav-
ems Besides being a binary star of very
kbort period, every one knows that Alpha
{Centauri is our next neighbor among the
4 tars. and that it was the first to give up
4 he secret of it's parallax under direct
Transit Circle observations. The color
$of this star is straw yellow, or sometimes
3colden-yellow, according to the state of
Fine atmosphere. When there is haze,
IA course the smaller star is somewhat
more affected by it than the larger. This
lends to give it slight brownish tint
when the sky is not clear. Alpha Cen
ltauri is star of the second class. It's
SPECTRUM is very like that of the sun.
Even the principle dark lines are fine,
and they apparently occupy the same
Relative positions as do the well-known
ilettered lines in the solar spectrum.
There can be no doubt, in fact, that the
physical constitution of this great star is,
LIN most respects, the same as that of the
sun. 1t is probable, however, that Alpha
ICentauri is less developed than the sun;
for, as Mr.. Proctor has pointed out, it's
light is brighter than its mass would lead
US to expect it to be, Judging from the
light of our sun, as compared with his
mass. While the mass of the star is to
the mass of the sun as 2: l, the light of
the star is to the light of the sun as 8 l.
Now, if it is true, as physicists have good
grounds for believing, that the sun is, and
has been, very slowly but surely losing
his heat, just as our earth has most GER
tainly lost an enormous amount of hers,
there must have been time when the
sun and his system were less developed,
but far hotter and brighter than they
are now-when they formed, probably,
a white star-that is to say, there was,
quite possibly, a time when the light
from our sun bore the same relation to
his mass as the light from Alpha Cen
tauri bears now to its mass. We may
also believe that matters are less adj
vanced in the planets Off there are any
of this neighbor:ng system than they are
with us.
