What keeps the majestic ball hot and
bright? lhi, hl, greatly engaged ply
,icistS and astronomers, and various
have been their theories. If the sun
shonc only by mere combustion Of its
own materials, the calculation is that
is fire would not last 5000 years 1t is
very kind Of DR.. Siemcns to come for
ward with an entirely new theory, which
holds out the hope that the men OF sci
ence are all wrong with their dismal
foreboding, and that the creation is not
schemed on the poor footing OF Ger
man stove or a suburban Gas company.
The learned ironmaStcr and physicist
believes that the sun may very well 60
on illuminating and warming our world,
and the family Of sister planets, for an
indefinite, if not infinite time. He sup
poses interstellar space to be filed with
an extremely attenuated hydrogen, and
interplanetary space with denser gas,
albeit more rarefed than the atmos-
phere drawn round each world. The
sun he thinks, whirling on its axis,
draws into It's poles the thin hydrogen.
hydro-carbon, and oxygen Of our sphere,
and these being kindled, are projected
outward at his equator into space. The
accepted view is that the heat and light
there developed and radiated perish, as
far as we are concerned, except for the
small portion arrested by each solar
satellite; but DR.. Semens argues that
this heat and light do their chief work
in decomposing the carbonic oxide and
watery vapor which were produced by
the kindling at the solar poles, so that
the sun itself perpetually renews its own
supplies, and restores by its energy the
waste matter that has fed that energy.
The theory is much too technical and
complicated to be here discussed, and
we should offer bad compliment to its
ingenious author even to attempt such
a task DR.. Siemens, however, has had
great experience with the phenomena OF
radiated heat, and his applications OF
the new view TO the nature Of zodiaca
light and of comets is particularly strik'
ing. OF course it is startling to hear Of
something in our own system which
closelyresembles perpetual motion; and
those who maintain that everything
comes to an end, and that all mechanic
cal energy must be gradually DEGRADED
and metamorphosed, will be slow to re.
ceive the new suggestion. London 7ele

Commodore Coppin, of England, who
recently designed an improved ocean
steamship, visited the produce exchange
lately with diagrams Of his invention,
and explained TO the members its mys-
teries and beauties. The diagrams show
triple-hulled screw ship. There are
three separate vessels below water,
while above one vessel only is seen. $500
The center hulls, contains the engines
There are two screws or propellers at
each end, either of which can be work
ed in unision, thus increasing the pow
er and speed. Commodore Coppin
claims that his vessel will make a voy-
age from New York to Liverpool in five
days, The vessel is designed principal
" for passenger traffic, all state-rooms
being above the water-line, while if il is
required, the vessel can carry as much
freight as the City Of Rome Commo-
dore Coppin says that seasickness in
his steamer will be an impossibility, as
the three hulls will prevent the rolling
OF the vessel, even in the heaviest sea
The hulls, both forward and after, are
pointed intact. the steamer can be run
either backward or forward with equal
rapidly. The commodore has a yacht
in England constructed on his model,
which he says cannot be equaled for
speed and safety. The dimensions Of
such an ocean steamship would be as
follows Length over all, $40 feet; length
OF center hull, 1856 feet; extreme breadth,

A correspondent at Fortress Monroe
says: Unlimited flirtations spice the daily
routine, and romance perpetuaIly hovers
around the easements Of the fortress
and the seward piazzas of the hotel. -
The clandestine marriage OF pretty
"Pinkie" Fargo, daughter of the But
falo millionaire, and Lieut.. Squircs, OF
the 7th cavalry last summer, was the
incident of the year The heress escaped
the vigilance of her step-mother during
the last of their summer stay, was mar
ried to the dashing trooper and de-
murely went back to her Buffalo home
without word. The wagging tongue
OF rumor soon carried the news north
ward from Fortress Monroe, and, COM
inc TO the ears of tho Fargo family in
the early fall, the bridegroom was soon
sent for, and the whimsical pair OF lovers
sped on their way united All the mys-
terry and romance attending the matter
were so much the queerer, because no
one had any earthly objection to the
match; and the affair is simply out OF
the way, and dramatic without any rea.
son thereof. However, "all the world
loves lover" and the young couple
have been quite the rcigning sensation
there this winter. Last week Lieut..
Squires graduated from the artillery
school, and the social and idyllic exist
ence of Fortress Monroe will be ex.
changed for tho mingled monotony and
danger Of garrison life in the Black
Hills and around the western territory.
Ii Cupid survives that rough transition,
then lot the little god enter plea for
such matches.

Rents In London II 15lJ.

From The Land.
The difference between rents in Lon
don now and a century and half ago
would make very striking and inter-
esting table. 1t is extremely difficult
to get at rents which were paid 80 long
ago; and it is indeed, as rule, only
by the casual discovery of an old lease
or other such document that these par
ticulars can be discovered. For in
stance, the extensive premises in the
strand, which Jacob Tonson used for
his publishing premises, we're let, as
found from a recently. discovered abb
stract of deeds, dated I717, at ga
per annum. Tonson's premises were
between St. Mary's church and the cor.
ner of Wellington street. Tonson fol.
lowed the custom of the time, called
his shop the "Shakespeare's Head"
and this was the name by which it was
known at the time he held it, under the
earl of Dorset, for 634 a year. He
was succeeded by a publisher named
Millar, who thought himself very clev.
er when he altered the. sign from the
"Shakespeare's Head to the "Buchan-
ans Head" 1t would be an interest
ing calculation by how much Tonson's
ga would have to be multiplied now.
