Ex-Governor Sprague In N stres,
Fight,

PROVIDENCE, II. l., May l9.-Ex-
Governor Sprague and his former in.
innate hanger-on, DR.. j. b. Green
had o street fight to night. After
calling each other liars, cowards
etc., they punched each others faces
in a feeble sort of way two OR lhres
times and were chen separated.
Green threatened all kinds of dis
closures about Sprague. To the agent
OF the National Associated Press he
could find no corroboration of the
CanoDchet shotgun episode with the
late Senator Conkling. The dispute
originated about money. Sprague
having given Green a check for 81, 300
for services and according to Green's
story the check was marked "no
funds" 1t is unlikely that any fur.
ther affray will result.

A party Of 100 excursionists left Boston
recently for a trip TO the Pacific coast,
and that fact suggests q way to make
crossing the continent q less formidable
undertaking to tourists than 1t has for
merly been. Parties could be formed,
not as large as that from Boston, but
large enough to fill one or two palace
cars, and the coaches should be chart
cred to take the company wherever
they wish to go. In this way the dis
comforts of travel would be reduced to
q minimum, and the tourists could dine
and sleep in n homslike fashion through.

The feasibility of tunneling under thu

Dover and Calais wds asserted many
years ago by engineers Of experience.
The ground for their belief was the
identity Of the geological formation Of
the opposing shores, and other eviden-
ces OF o continuity Of the geological for
nation common to both sides. Sound,
ings made at very short intervals along
the line between the opposing head.

" impervious to water to permit boring.
The sounding showed this formation to
extend across from shore to shore, de-
scending gradually 10 a depth Of 1870
feet below high water in mid-channcl,
and rising at the same gradient to the
other side.
In 1872 . company wa organized to
make a tunnel that would permit rail
way transit under the twenty-one miles
of water between the two countries at
I cir nearest approach to each other.
Preliminary surveys were made and
the results presented to the Govern

commission was appointed to invest.

The attempts to explain the tails Of
comets have been various. A new eff
fort to solve the problem has been made
by M. Picart, as follows: The sun,
the stars, nebulae and comets, are COM
posed not only of powderable matter in
the gaseous state, but of imponderable
matter-the Luminous ether''-reveal.
ed, In the case Of the sun, by the zodia-
cal light, and in that Of nebulae, by
their irregular forms contrary to gra-
~vitation. A comet far from the sun,
appears in spheroidal form, due to gra.
vitation Of its ponderable matter-its
luminous ether being then invisible be-
cause Of its distance and feeble light.
But on nearing the sun, repulsion be-
ing a characteristic property Of lumin-
u other, the ether Of the sun repsls
that Of the comet, and thus forms tail.
The form and direction Of the tail are
thus quite independent of gravitation;
and the comets enormous velocity
eases to be a difficulty, as 1t Is in the
ories which suppose the matter Of the
tail to be ponderable. This explain
alton may account for the comets tails,
but the mystery of the luminous ether
remains.
