reading; indeed, it would be hard to

varied, interesting and generally in

DR.. Talmage, has some peculiarly in
teresting ESSAYS on Timely Topics, ;"
and sermon in the Home Pulpit,

in the Acts of the Apostles, grouped
under the heading international Les
sons for 1885," which every one may
profitably study. There are stories,
sketches, essays, poems, etc., by Mari
on Harland, Harriet Irving, George Nc
Donald, LID; Michael Munkacsy,
Professor Derry, Myrta Lockett, NJ. ".
Moore, and other writers of celebrity.
Among the other prominent features of
the number are International Sunday
school Lessons for 1885," "Wit, Wis

catastrophe. The chances can easily be

catastrophe. The chances can easily be
calculated. Comets, instead of being
confined to the plane of the ecliptic like
the planets, approach the sun from all
points of space indifferently. The
chances that given comet will strike
the earth, therefore, may be found as
follows: Imagine sphere with di-
ameter equal to the diameter of the
earth's orbit about the sun, or about
1876, 100000 miles. On the surface OF
that sphere circle with a diameter
about that of the earth, or 5000 miles,
can be inscribed more than 49,, 900, 00C
Limes. That Is TO say, it would take
that enormous number of worlds of the
size of the earth arranged in contact
to entirely surround the sun at the
earth's distance from it. OF course the
chance of any body not larger than the
earth, falling tothe sun, hitting any Civ
en- one of these spheres would be as 1 tc
1872 100000. But as q comet after ap,
preaching the sun, recedes from it, il
would have two chances to hit the
earth in the above number, so that the
chance of its knocking our planet
into smithercens would really be l in
936, 100000. Thus, if we suppose that
in years time one thousand comets
approached the sun within the distance
of the earth from the sun, we should
run theirisk of being hit onceIin nearly q
million years. The smallness of the risk
may perhaps be made more striking
in another way. Let lis suppose $780,
100000 marbles one inch in
diameter spread on level farm
as close as they can be laid. They
would cover almost 1870 acres. Let one
of these marbles be black and all the
rest white. Then the chances of the
earth being struck by comet would
be the same as the chance of this lone
black marble being hit by another mar
BILE of the same size tossed upon this
100 acres by some powerful arm from
outside of the space. On the whole,
when our correspondent hears that a
comet is going to strike the earth he
need lose no sleep over the prospect.

considered the plan of assigning to the
county judges the work of auditing
such claims, while the auditor of &C.
counts recommends that an act be
passed providing that this class of claims
against the state be heard only during
the session of the legislature and that
they be paid upon the order of the au-
ditor of accounts when claims are APP
proved by the unanimous vote of the
joint committee on claims. A bill pro-
viding for this method of settling these
claims was introduced by Senator Bur-
nap on Monday, his bill requiring a
two-thirds vote, instead of the unani-
nous approval of the committee, to
secure the payment of claim. The
latter bill is simple in its provisions, a
single tribunal will have jurisdiction of
these matters, and the interests OF the
state will be entirely in the hands If its
own officials. These plans for renov-
