Professor s. P. Langley, of the Allegheny
 observatory, will start July on an expedi-
 tion of scientific and popular interest. The
 main object of this expedition is to determine
 by actual experiment the amount of heat giv-
 en by the sun to the earth. The cooperation
 of General Hagen, Chief of the Signal Ser
 vice Bureau has been given to the enter
 prise, and it proceeds under his official direc-
 tion. To attain it's special object the expedi- ton must seek one of the most elevated sum-
 mits on the continent, in an extremely arid region, these two conditions being essential.
 These are only to be found combined in the remote localities of Arizona and Southern California. Two adjacent stations will be selected, respectively at heights of 5000 and 14, ,OG0 feet, for purposes of comparison through their different thicknesses of atmos- phere. Another object will be to prove by a new class of experiments a curious conciu- sion which Professor Langley has already ar rived at, to the effect that the sun is not real ly white, or yellow, or even red object, but that sunlight is in reality deep blue. The proof that we have blue sun is, how ever, somewhat conclusive at present. but this expedition is likely to add to the strength of the proof. This is not merely subject of curious inquiry. If our atmosphere in real ity has played the part of yellow glasses it follows that an enormous proportion of the suns heat has never been taken into account in those questions of scientific meteorology which have special bearing on climate, and hence upon agriculture and other practical affairs,

THE PROGRESS OF YALE.

The alumni meeting, at half-past nine this
 morning, will be one of special interest, in
 view of a general statement to be made by President Porter, at the opening of the meet
 Ing, of the recent growth and developments of the University The alumni voted in 1879 that he be requested to prepare such a statement, covering the last fifteen years, and there has been no period of the same length in the history of the college which has shown anything like the same advancement. The total number of students in all the depart ments in 1S65-6 was 6S2. In 1874 it rose to over 1000, and has never since been less
 The Theological, Law and Medical depart ments in 1866 were in feeble condition Each has since been largely reinforced by new professorships, and new funds, and has received large accession of students. In the Law department four years course of study has been provided, two being required from all students and two left optional. Ten of the law students this year are attorneys at-law, coming from seven different States. The Art School also has grown up during this fifteen years and the Scientific School has doubled in numbers, and instituted new courses of study, in biology, etc, of great interest and va1ue.- The Scientific School, indeed is standing answer to the objection sometimes heard that Yale makes too much of Latin and Greek, and too little of Science and Physics. She has Latin and Greek for those who want it, and something more prac- tical for those who prefer that.

wish to cut so as to destroy the roots. The thistle pushes up it's stems, these flower and bear seeds, and it does this largely from it's underground stores of food Having pro- vided for flowers and seeds, the leaves of the thistle are at work increasing and strength ening the roots for the next years crop. Hence the underground part of the plant is at it's weakest at towering time By cutting it then, we not only destroy all the work it has done in preparing the flowers, but we at the same time prevent it effectually from maturing it's crop of seeds. When the stems above ground are cut away, the roots push other stems, and at this time, instead of stor- ing up supplies, the roots are expanding them. This, then, when the thistle is bloom ing, or about to do so, is the time when the greatest injury can be inflicted upon it. But with the Canada thistle, once cutting while it greatly weakens, will by no means kill it and there is no time at which it can be destroyed at single cutting. The only proper way with this and similar plants is to cut the shoots first that appear, and to continue as long as there IS anything to cut. That continued and per slstent cutting will conquer the Canada this tie, and that even worse weed, the horse net tie, (Sota7a1na CdroStne7ase), we have positive knowledge, but no halfway work will pre- vail. It has been frequently advised for Can ada thistles to cut just below the surface of the ground, and apply salt to the cut root Perhaps salt is of service in killing portion Of the root, but it is only practicable on small scale Where the weed abounds, and 1t has been decided that it shall be eradicated, the reliance must be upon cutting which must be done often and continuously even if the work leads on into the next year-and the next

A JUST CALL FCR MORE PAY

The salaries paid the men employed in the government life saving service were fixed in a time of low prices four or five years ago. As these salaries were not generous for the time in which they were fixed it is not sur prising that now, when wages in most branches of labor are improving, those who do the dangerous and very useful work of the ife-s saving service think they should be better paid. Their opinion in this matter CO., incides with that of all who know what their work Is.
 The duties of the men who form the rank and file of the life-saving service are extreme ly onerous. Their occupation involves ex- posture at all hours and in all weathers. When the storms are at their worst is the very time when the surfmen are at their busiest. As they go about their daily duties they carry their lives in their hands. They may at any time be called upon to attempt a rescue under conditions which make it an even chance whether they will lose their own lives or save the lives of those to whose as- sistance they are called. How faithful and efficient these men have been is shown by the report of what was accomplished during the last fiscal year. Three hundred vessels were driven ashore and needed the assistance of the life saving crews. On board these ves- sels were nearly 2,00O persons, and of that number all but nine were saved Some of those who were rescued by the surfmen would no doubt have succeeded in getting to land without assistance, but the great ma jority must unquestionably have lost their lives had it not been for the efforts that were made in their behalf But it is not only lives which the service saves. It also pre- vents-and that upon very large scale-the destruction of valuable property. Thus the value of the 300 vessels already referred to, and of their cargoes, is estimated toihave been $3, S11, 7OS, and of this amount it is reported that &, ,619, ,SO7 was saved
 Apart from the philanthropic character of it's operations, the life-saving service is prof. table from financial point of view. The amount appropriated by Congress for it's ex- penses last year was S472, s6o, and this is more than was spent to save $2,619,S07 worth of property, to say nothing about the saving of life. It seems pretty plain that the country can afford to pay patrolmen some thing more than $1.33 per day without board. Unless better wages paid the ser vice will certainly deteriorate.

Canada Thistles.
From the Agriculturist. ]

There is @ common impression that Can- ada missiles can be readily killed, if cut at the right time, and several have asked, "What is the proper time to cut them ?'' The life of this troublesome weed is governed by the same laws as that of other and useful plants. If we set out bed of asparagus or rhubarb, we do not cut the shoots of the one or the leaves of the other continuously all through the season. We take the early shoots and leaves, but stop in time to allow the foliage to prepare stock of provisions, and to store it in the magazine below ground-the roots, in order tha6 we may have a crop the follow ing year. In these cases we cut in such manner as to save the roots. With the Can- ada thistle and other perennial weeds, we

England's new armored ram Polyphemus, recently launched at the Chatham dockyard, is unique implement of naval warfare. She carries no guns and can never be fitted to carry any. Her weapons are a powerful ram and Whitehead torpedoes, both of which she is designed to use with much cunning and deadly effect. The ram, which forms the bow (although it can be removed at wilI), is twelve feet long and is submerged when the vessel is afoat so as to be capable of striking most iron-clads of modern construction well below their armor plating. The torpedo ft- tings which form the other fighting feature of the vessel, can be used in all directions with equal efficiency. The Polyphemus is cigar-shaped, and submerged except in the centre, where conical deck, surmounted by slight superstructure, rises above the water.
 Her length is 24O feet, breadth 40 feet, and displacement 2,64O tons. Engines of $500 horsepower will propel her at the rate of seventeen knots an hour. Mir. Ward Hunt,

The order was originally founded by Frederick the Great, and the only other Americans upon whom the dis tinction has been conferred are Longfellow, Bancroft and General Fremont.

I read with great interest your editorial
of this morning, in which you begin by saying:
The Southern political situation has ceased to bear any
relation TO party diusions Of the past This isstrictly
true, and am pleased TO find a stalwart Republi-
can editor who seems to so clearly understand the
political situation South, as you evidence
in this and other articles which have
appeared in THE REPUBLICAN since you
assumed its editorial chair. There are
thousands of confederate officers and soldiers
in the South Numbering among them some of the
most distinguished of its officers and bravest Of its
soldiers) who, paradoxical as it may seem, never
were secessionists or Democrats, and who only
await recognition by the present national Repub-
lican administration to make them the StauncheSt
and most useful of its friends. The old line Wings
and many original Democrats in the South have
long tired of the insane course of the leaders of
the Democratic party since the close of the war,
who pursue the same methods and use the same
tyranny they were wont to do twenty years ago.
Let the Republicans meet these men half way
without any concessions of principlel, and they
will find in them allies upon whom they can rely
for the earnest and honest support of the Union,
the Constitution, and the Enforcement of the laws"

Good Democratic Policy.

To the Editor of The Republican,:
In these days, when Southern Demo
Gratis are gushing" as they usually do when
beaten the following facts from Mississippi may be
ofinterest. At Aberdeen, Monroe County, in the
fall of 1879 the county executive committee ofthe
Democratic party passed the following resolution
Resolued, That it is the opinion of the ex-
ecutive committee that there should no longer be
any Radical school teachers employed in the
Monroe and that the superintendent of education
be specially requested to decline giving any Radi
cal certificate as teacher.
This resolution was given to Mr.. William Saville,
superintendent of education of Monroe County,
and after that time Mr.. Sayille required the fol-
lowing certificate to be signed before he would is
sue certificate to any person making application
for work as a teacher:
certify that have been Democrat, and that
/ will hereafter support the candidates of the
Democratic party, and work with that party.

according to the last census has 1O,549 white and
1904 colored inhabitants, the latter Of whom,
despite all allegations to the contrary, are Repub

proceed to deprive twothirds of the people of the
county of the privilege of teaching or being taught
by persons of their own political belief. The
above facts are respectfully referred to Senator

should be appointed for the deci-
sion as to which party shall hold
national power. The Republicans have no
fault to find, of course, with the impetus
given to their campaign by the splendid
victory in Indiana last October; but at
another time they may find the opposi-
ton equally fortunate. The victorious
party in Indiana and Ohio in October are
almost sure to prevail in the Nation in
November. The influence upon other
States is not wholesome. All should pre-

since A. X Mcclure turned his blushlng cheek to

State to discover that the stinking fish always come
to the top of the Philadelphia Record.
