The pension appropriation bill now be-
fore congress appropriates $68, 282.68 for
this year, and is said to be the largest pen
sion appropriation bill ever perfected either
by this government or any other, and is
moro than all the pension appropriations of
all the governments on earth combined.
This is not entirely owing to the Arrears Of
Pensions Law, although before that was
enacted the pension expenditures were an

Graphic Description of the Present Sun
Spot Phase.
From the Providence Journal
It is pitiful to witness the condition of the
sun. The great fire. ball is in intense COM
motion. His surface is scanned and SCARED
in every direction, with black spots that in
dictate the disturbing elements at work in
his chaotic mass Occasionally, for a day
Oh TWO, the blemishes disappear, and the
glorious king Of day shows face like q
shield, of glowing gold. But the aspect
quickly changes; spots como rushing in all
directions and assuming all forms. They
appear slngly and in pairs, and again in
groups and rows. Immense groups break
up into small ones, and small ones unite to
form great chasms, into which half a dozen
worlds might be dropped and there would
still be room for more. Sometimes the spots
are visible to the naked eye, and at that
time good opera glass or spy glass will
make them easily perceptible. Hundreds of
face every clear day, and keep a record of
the number Of spots, their size, and the
direction in which they move, for as the
sun turns on his axis they turn with him,
some OF them remaining for months with
out much change, sumo taking on new forms
and some disappearing entirely. Very lit
'.e is known OF this mysterious sun or the
spots that are visible more than ninety mil
lions Of miles away.
Once i'll about eleven years the sun takes
on his present sun spot phase, aid we ale
approaching the maximum Of disturbance.
No one knows the cause Some believe
that it is planetary attraction, some that it
is the fall of great masses of meteoric mat
tor, and some that it is the result of in
ternal corlmotion and the rush upward of
gaseous explosions in comparison with
which our fercest volcanic eruptions are
but the flicker Of a fame. Besides the sun
spot agitation, the gaseous outbursts are
marked and vivid The tongues Of flame or
rosy protuberances are darting forth in all
directions and bearing their testimony to
the solar commotion. Mr.. Trouvelot, of
Cambridge, who makes daily observation Of
the suns chromosphere, gives graphic de-
scrlption of remarkable solar protuberance
that he witnessed on the 18th Of November.
When first seen it was large and compi-
Gated, extending upward from the sun
about hundred thousand miles. Three
or four hours after, it had developed into
huge proportions, extending far out into
space, and vanishing gradually to regions
where it could not be perceived AS near
lyas it could be measured, it reached a height
Of over a quarter of the suns diameter, or
about two hundred and thirty five thousand
miles. Such O protruberance hurled up
ward from the earth would almost reach
the moon! Two hours after the whole struc-
ture had collapsed, and was only about
eighteen thousand miles high. Observa-
tons like this give Gil idea of the mighty
forces at work in the solar orb, and make
observers long for the time when satisfac-
tory solution may be found for this mysteri-
GUS periodical solar disturbance, so init
mately connected with the meteorological
sndition Of the earth

there in stone are dreams which have been
shadowy and shapeless, too beautiful, to

pity those who cavil at the artists boast.
Paradise, say these, or would say, if they
could express their inarticulate ideas, is not
made Of barley sugar, colored sweetmeats,
and looking glass. Paradise is mystic,
solemn; an abode through eternity ofstrong
and pious souls, not of luxurious flaws. II
you tempt these critics to explain themselves
more fully, you will see that in their heart

ever its nationality while incarnate, becomes
true British after death. The paradise of Del

they ever saw, or could have fancied; it is,
IN truth, sunshine and color petr1ted, and.
because our happy land is not familiar with
sunshine, while our habits forbids us color.
the average Briton cannot see those blessed
gifts Of the creator. That the eye sees only
what it looks for, is an axiom in art. When
a commonplace observer stands before a
tablet in the palace wall, and marks its ex-
qulslte inlaying, as careful in the nlinutest
point as in the mass Of flowers; when he
surveys the marble screens, carved into lace,
admitting soft radiance which is to light
as moonbeams to sunshine. he is astonished
and delighted. But it presently comes
home to him that these lovely things are
not pictures, but the very wall itself; that
every gap is filed with marble guipure DEL
icate as Chinese fan-and he revolts. AS
bric-a- brac, as bits to display under glass

charming. But grand edifce all built Of
such is monstrous idea. Where are the

which make our European notion Of great
architecture? Where are the shadows, the
