the efforts of Alfred Holland Harry Earle, and

"Scenes from the Hppodrome," is most
amusing. and shouts of laughter greet It nightly.
There will be another change of bill tonight and

Tit. for Tat.

When Nellie OStrum and Frank Bel
den, of Pittsfeld, Mass, were counting,
they found time to talk about the love
stories in tho .,,arazinns hrt thn,r did
not think that before another summer
they would figure in a real love story,
with broken vows, scalding tears, re-
venge, and that sort of thing peppering
the romance from beginning to end. 1t
was young Belden's fault. The wedding
day having been fixed about six months
ahead, Miss Nellie went with her pa
rents to visit relatives in Missouri.
During the few weeks succeeding his
sweetheart's departure Belden did his
whole duty. He gave up his cigarette,
and the money! he was saving astonished
the whole bank into which it found its
way. Then, as the local paper explains,
on the sunshine of his love there came
a lowering cloud. In other words, Bel
den began to pay attention to another
girl. Miss Nellie's Pittsfeld friends lost
no time in telling Miss Nellie all about
it by post, and in post-haste, and what
Belden mentioned as "a scorcher," came
in the return mail. The receipt of this
scorcher famed the lovers spark of
liking for the new girl into such flame
that he wrote to Miss Nellie breaking
off the engagement That was about
the time of the great Mississippi flood,
but whether the Tilted girl wept such
an inland ocean the chronicler of the
affair fails to set forth, But in due time
Miss Nellie returned to Pittsfeld, and to
her friends it seemed that all her we'd
ding-cake was betrothal dough. Why
Belden again fell head over heels in love
with Miss Nellie no one understands;
but he did, begged forgiveness, sought
reconciliation, and all once more appar-
entity became serene. The wedding day
was fixed, and Belden, in his broadcloth,
appeared at the brides house. Miss
Nellie met the bridegroom at the door;
taking him into the kitchen, where she
was steaming strawberries, she said:
Frank, am to be married next Mon
day, not to-day; my future husband is
now on his way from Missouri" Bel
den falls and so does the curtain

Why He Did Not Look Up,

Two fashionable young men were
walking down Austin Avenue, when
one of them called the attention of the
other to the myriads of swallows that
were making their nests in the caves cs
a tall building.

upward, and remarked

swallows are, it makes my head swim

trying to collect ten or fifteen bills I am
owing, has his Office up there. That s

The Maintenance of Solar Temperatures

An estimate of the amount of heat
poured down annually upon the surface
of our earth may be formed from the
fact that it exceeds million times the
heat producible by all the coal raised,
which may be taken at $50, 900, 900 tons
year.
If, then, we depend upon solar radia-
ton for our very existence from day to
day, it cannot be said that we are only
remotely interested in solar physics, and
the question whether and how solar en-
ergy, comprising the rays of heat, Of
light, and the actinic rays, is likely to
be maintained, is one in which we have
at least as great a reversionary interest
as we have in landed estate or other
property.
If the amount of heat, or more cor
rectly speaking, of energy, supplied an
nually to our earth is great as compared
with terrestrial quantities, that, scatter
ed abroad in all directions by the sun,
strikes US as something almost beyond
conception.
The amount of heat radiated from the
sun has been approximately computed
by the aid of the pyrheliometer of Pouil-
let, and by the actinometers of Herschel,
at 100000 heat units from every
square foot of its surface per hour; or,
expressed popularly, if coal were con-
sumed on the surface Of the sun in the
most perfect manner, our total annual
production of $50, 900, 900 tons, being the
estimated produce of all the coal mines
of the earth, would suffice to keep up
solar radiation for only one forty mil
ionth part of a second; or, if the earth
were a mass of coal, and could be sup
piled by contract to the solar furnace
men, this supply would last them just
thirty-six hours.
If the sun were surrounded by SOLID
sphere of a radius equal to the mean
distance of the sun from the earth (95,-
900, 200 miles), the whole of this prodig-
ious amount of heatwould be intercept
ed; but considering that the earth's ap-
parent diameter, as seen from the sun,
is only seventeen seconds, the earth can
intercept only the ,250-millionth part.
Assuming that the other planetary
bodies swell the amount of intercepted
heat to ten times this amount, there re-
mains the important fact that 224999999-
225000000 of the solar energy is radiated
into space, and apparently lost to the
solar system, and only 1-225000000 util-
lied or intercepted.
Notwithstanding this enormous loss
of heat, solar temperature has not di-
minished sensibly for centuries, if we
neglect the periodic changes, apparently
connected with the appearance of sun
spots, that have been observed by Lock
er and others, and the question forces
itself upon us, how this great loss can
be sustained without producing an OBJ
servable diminution of solar tempera-
ture, even within human lifetime

"Look not long on the face of the dead;
Leave the Past in the Past" they said.
"Dig some grave for the old despair:

Or the burden will grow too great to bear"

''Gents.''

Mr.. Richard Grant White wittily re-
marks that '.gents" and ''pants" belong
together. for the former always wear the
latter. If gent is to be tolerated by
careful writer's, then let US accept
''pants' for trousers" ''transpire" for
-''happen'' or OCCUR" and, in brief,
adopt about all the variegated and won
derful vocabulary of the average news
paper. The word gent" however,
does describe class. When you see a
greasy young fellow who seems cross
between rustic and a negro minstrel
off duty-a person with cap set far
back on his closely-cropped head, tight
trousers that grow suddenly full at the
ankle, and shoes with turned-up, point
ed tips-where does he get those shoes?
when you see this vulgar little object,
you see '.gent." You will encounter
him on street corners in shabby neigh
borhoods, gazing admiringly at the lith-
ograph of some famous clog-dancer OF
cheap blonde in a drinking-shop win
dow; you will meet him there, but
Heaven preserve you from ever meeting
him in decent literature.

How He Lost The Wager.

Acting vice-presidents sometimes lose
a bet as well as ordinary individuals,
and striking instance of this occurred
recently in the United States senate, ac-
cording to the special correspondence
of the Atlanta Constitution. During the
debate on the japanese indemnity bill a
southern senator made bet of wine
with the genial David Davis that Sena-
tor Call, who had submitted some brief
remarks on the bill four times before,
would speak yet again. 1t is said that
Senator Davis revolved the thing over
in his mind in that careful manner
which has characterized his entire life
and concluded to accept the wager, but,
alas for his delusion regarding Mr.. CALI S
physical inability to resume his argu-
ment, for all at once he popped up and
spoke for over an hour upon the bill
The southern senator with whom the
wager was made whistled for page,
who took missive to the president pro
tempore that he ''would take Hook
heimer in his" This would illustrate
the fact that man can bet with as
much satisfaction on mental phenomena
in the senate as on chickens in cock
inp main.
