New Britain City Election,

The city election New Britain resulted in the election of A. Beatty, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, with the council equally divided and the Mayor having the casting vote. Vance, Democratic candidate for city clerk, is also elected. D. s. Savin, the Republican candidate, made a splendid run in the Third and Fourth wards, and the blame rests with the Republicans of the First and Second wards that he was not elected. MT. Savin has the honor of being the only Republican who ever carried thes@ Fourth ward. The election of Beatty for Mayor is due to the German independent ticket which he headed, and which was adopted at their meeting on Saturday night.

Obituary.

Norwalk has lost an aged and upright citi- zen in the death of Hiram c. Jones. He came to Norwalk in his sixteenth year from New Hampshire. He was known to all the older people in the town. He was long 8 member of the Concord division, s. of T., when Gould D. Jennings, Dr. Hill, Robert Ellis and associates were leading members. For number of years he carried excursions in his sailboat when Nauvoo and Shefield's Islands were the leading resorts, and when Uncle Lewis Whitlock welcomed all parties to the hospitalities of the lighthouse before Roton Point had come to the front as sum- mer resort Commodore Jones was the title by which he was familiarly known in Norwalk and adjoining towns. On the 4th ult. occurred the fiftieth anniversary of his wedding day, when many tokens of esteem were received. The celebration of this event was prevented by his serious illness.
 Mir. Warren Henot, of Norwalk, died recently. He had long been an invalid, and was South last winter. Finding himself rapidly sinking he left San Antonio, Texas, and came back to Norwalk. Upon his arrival North telegram was received announcing the death of brother at Yonkers, which had the effect to still more depress him. The remains were taken to Yonkers.

Thn nniIr sMeIIinr or PInn,.,

With delicate means of measurement Herr
Kraus has recently proved the existence of a
phenomenon in all plant organs which is con-
nected with their variable water-content and
consists in periodical swelling and contrao-
tion in the "a hours. Leaves, ETC., decrease
in thickness from early morning until after
noon, when they begin to swell again, attain
ing greater size by night than by day Chis
is well seen in agave, aloe and the ike). Sim
ilarly with buds, howers green cones, fruits,
ETC., and with stems and branches. Herr Kai-
ser has before proved such period in trunks
of trees, and Herr Kraus shows that both bark
and wood share in it, Independently or unit
edly. The various experiments of Herr Kraus
removal Of foliage, watering, shutting out
light, etc., lead TO explanation of the phe-
nomona by the varying reciprocal action OF
those factors which bring water into the plant
and those which carry it away. By night only
the water. absorbing activity of the parts be.
low ground operates; by day the water, con-
suming activity of the parts above ground
operates also The water-consuming activity
depends mainly on the foliage and on light,
(removal of leaves or of light stops eontrac-
tion), and consists essentially in Transportation.
Herr Kraus states that when plant is water
ed these things occur In short time Qess
than an hour the stem begins to swell; both
wood and bark take part in this, the wood al
ways first. The swelling progresses at pret-
ty quick rate, upward of several metres per
second. After some time, perhaps an hour,
contraction gradually recurs. The oontrao-
tion began at the upper part Of an acacia af-
ter ten minutes, whereas the swelling at the
lower part continued 90 minutes. This shows
that the contraction is due 10 the activity Of
the foliage, and is gradually extended down

The Sun.

81 am told" said bishop in London
drawing-room to q Parsee lady, 'that your
people actually worship the SUM-" The
Eastern dame replied, ''They do, my lord
and so would you if you had ever seen him."
1t is indeed true that we do not know what
the sun is in his strength in these northern
and cloudy latitudes. Occasionally, no doubt
we catch sight, even in. winter and spring, of
a pale golden sphere mildly brilliant, which
makes for us tender dawns of primrose and
pink, and soft evening effects of saffron, vio-
let and sea-green. More commonly in the
summer and autumn We behold an unveiled
solar sphere, which is bright and splendid ac-
cordng to the ideas of our latitude, and which
imparts a certain sensation of radiance and
heat. This, however, is not the sun of the
East and of the South-the real King of Day.
The true monarch of our system comes up
from the Indian or African horizon without
a cloud to dim his majesty, burns himself a
path of glory over the sea and across the sky
sweeps sloft in fiery ferceness of light, which
makes living creatures dread as well as adore
him, and sinks into the western world with
crimson and purple flames dyeing the sky,
and all animated nature silently glad to be
quit of his glorious but terrible presence.
Hiding at MONDAY from the rays Of an orb
like this, the Hindoo or the Equatorial Afri-
can would appreciate better than ourselves
the figures given by astronomers.
How big does the sun appearP Children
answer to this in various terms some saying
''as big as a golden crown piece" some "as
large as plate" Yet how many grown per-
sons realize that, if we take billiard ball to
represent the EARTH the visible sums sphere
could not be packed inside the billiard room
If it were less than twenty-six feet in length
height, and breadth? Jupiter, the giant of
our system, would be about as large as a wine
cask Saturn of butter firkin while Ura-
nus and Neptune might be symbolized by
footballs. The central lord of those little
globules which we call planets outweighs
them all put together seven hundred and for
ty times. As we behold his glowing nucleus
it is about eight hundred and sixty thousand
miles in diameter. An Armstrong shell, as
it travels with its initial velocity, would take
thirteen years to reach him. A word spoken
here, as sound passes through our air, would
occupy six months in being heard by the An
gel of the Sun. If one could reach so far ~
to plunge the hand into his burning corona,
the rate at which sensation throbs along
nerve would make it seventy or eighty years
before the man would feel the scorch. Light
ilself-the swiftest of all messengers, except
perhaps electricity and gravitation, consumes
nine minutes in traversing the distance which
divides us from our sun, and yet from him
come all our light, heat, and life as well as,
in all probability, the very substance and
form of the planet we inhabt.-LORdOn TEL

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
A LITTLE GIRLS STORY IN THE MAY ST.
NICHOLAS.

My brother Johnny says he would do for
firstclass humble bee; he's as hot all over as
if he had forty stings. We've been talking
through the stove-hole to comfort each other.
This hole is in the wall at the side of my bed
so, if put chair on the bed, and then climb
up and stand on tiptoe, can see into John
ny's room, and We can have good talk.
We're in trouble; and this is how it hap
pened;
One day last week, our teacher read us a
story about good little girl who had sick
father; and he was going to starve to death
cause he hadn't any money to buy oranges
and everything had gone wrong inside. WelL
the good little girl heard that a dentist want
ed some teeth, and would pay well for them.
q don't see why he should pay money for
teeth, when he could have his own for moth
ing) The little girl had fine teeth, so she
went to the dentist and asked him to take
some out aud pay her the money they were
worth, for her poor father. Then the dentist
made her tell him all about her father and
he wouldn't take the toeth but he gave her
the money all the same, and went to see her
father, and got doctor for him so he didn't
die.
1t was a beautiful story, and made me cry.
Johnny said it wasn't anything to cry about
stories like that were for examples, and when
we had a chance we must 90 and do likewise.
Well, this morning, when Father was put
ting on his overcoat, Johnny and 1 asked him
for a penny. And Father, ho said we were
always wanting pennies, and he wasn't made
of money and then he went out,
Sister Em began to cry, cause Father said
she couldn't have new dress this Easter.
Every thing was going wrong, and he didn't
know what would become of him, and he was
sick of everything.
Johnny and didn't cry we only looked at
each other.
While We were going to school, Johnny
said this was our chance. Now we could do
| like the good little girl and be a support to
our parents. Dentists always wanted teeth,
and we'd go TO the dentist right away after
school, and have it over.
aud thon," says Johnny, "if we've made
five dollars for Father, perhaps he'll give US
our penny, cause it IL be such pleasant sur
| prise to him."
We couldn't hardly wait for school to be
out l got a black mark in arithmetic, cause
when Miss Stevens asked me II you had an
apple, and IL Samuel Smithat II up, what had
| you left? / said 'Your teeth"
After school we walked about till we came
TO a dentists, and we went in, and asked him
| IL he wanted some teeth And he said,
"Why? Did we want TO lose some 2" And we
told him, eyes"
We thought he would sit down and ask us
all about it, just as the other dentist did with
the good little girl but he only said
! 'Let's look at 'em."
