AN EsTHETE,s APPETITE.
The Grub with which Oscar Wilde Stays His
Stomach.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Mr.. Wilde has arrived from New Haven.
No guns heralded his arrival, and not sim
gle sunfower or lily was awaiting his advent
when he stepped from the cars and looked
obviously around. He wore bottle-green
ulster, lined and trimmed with fur, and fur
cap to correspond. He held a cigarette be-
tween his lips aud resting quietly on his
chin. He Is not graceful. He has an un-
pleasant, slouching, hulking kind Of walk;
aud of this he seems to be aware, for
he quickly got himself together into
a coupe sleigh, and with his agent, was
driven to the United States Hotel. At The
hotel he threw himself upon the bed and
called at once for a pot of tea. This was
brought him, and while slipping it he asked
what there was for supper. The waiter read
to him the bill Of fare, but o. w. said:
"None of these things do please me-"
Thereupon he asked if there were any
"buirds" to be had. "What?" said the
waiter. "Birds," said The agent. "Oh,
yes" the sable domestic answered, "plenty
of 'em." Thereupon Oscar ordered dozen
Stony Creek oysters on the half she'll, par
fridge on toast, with jelly, boiled potatoes
"with the skin on, mind you," Lyonaise po-
tatoes (Which are cold boiled potatoes fried
with onions, oh, ye esthetes!) and English
fried potatoes, which are mashed potatoes
made into little balls and fried Evidently
Oscar wanted potatoes, and he got them.
Will you have tea or coffee?" the waiter
asked. "Give me the wine lst," and this
being handed him, he ordered bottle of
Piper Hedsick champagne; and thus the
Apostle of Beauty made his supper.

THAT MENACING COMET.
Professor Proctors Article Foreshadowing
the End of the World.

Richard A. Proctor's article IN "a Menac-
ing Comet has attracted a great deal of at
tention. His statement, in brief, is that the
comet seen in the Southern Hemisphere in
1880 is believed to be identical with the great
comet of 1S43, and also with the comet OF
1865; that the period of revolution OF the
comet has been greatly reduced, and that 1t
is likely to reappear about 1907; that it has
already passed through the SUMS corona, and
that when it returns 1t is likely to fall into
the sun. Proctor's idea is that If big COM
ct should fall into the sun. the conversion OF
its immense momentum into heat would fire
I'D the sun to such degree that no living
thing upon the earth could survive 1t.
Prof. Young, of Princeton College, who is
one of the first authorities on astronomy IN
this country. dissents from Proctor's conclu-
sions. In the first place, he thinks that the
identity of the comet of 1880 with the comet
mentioned by Proctor is by no means estao-
lished. He adds: "There is no known
comet whose mass is sufficient to cause by its
DOWNFALL ST SEfdl aa ihSiSoSS - 11S -
heat as would be necessary to destroy all
living things in the earth. The elect OF the
collision would not be mainly felt in an im-
mediate increase of the radiation of hea,
from the sun. There might at first be flash
of heat which observers who were on the
/ lookout could perceive, but the communit,
at large would know nothing about IL. The
greater portion of the increase OF eneIg,
would be expended in the sun itself in pro
ducing expansion Of the solsr orb. 1t woult
be expended in doing mechanical work II
the sun. II Is possible that there might b
a sudden flash as the falling comet was pass
ing through the outer atmosphere Of the sun
but even that would not be sufficientto caus'
/ disaster to the earth, unless the falling
mass were thousands of times greater thar
the mass Of any known comet. If body Q
very great mass should fall into the sun, TO
instance, the planet Jupiter, 1t would doubt
less produce disastrous effects upon tn
earth. may say consider 1t not improba
BILE that if the earth is destroyed by fire tn
cause will be the collision of some body wit
the sun, but do not believe comet vii
ever produce that effect"

Obsolete Theories of the Earth's Interior.


Various theories have been from time TO
time advanced as to the interior condition OF
the globe, many of them of purely fanciful
character. The great astronomer kepler,
for instance, in seeking to account for the
ebb and flow of the ocean tides, depicted
the earth as living monster, the earth-ani-
NAL, whose whale-like mode of breathing
occasioned the rise and fall of the ocean In
recurring periods of sleeping and waking,
dependent on solar time. He even in his
flights of fancy attributed to this earth-ani-
NAL the possession of soul, having the fac
ulties of memory and imagination.
Another great astronomer, HALEY, was
opposed to the idea of the globe being solid,
"regarding 1t as more worthy Of the Creator
that the earth, like house Of several stories,
should be inhabited without and within"
For light, too, In the hollow sphere he
thought provision might In some measure be
contrived.
So recently, indeed, as within the last $50
years equally singular notions have been en-
tertained regarding the earth's interior. Sir
John Leslie, like HALEY, conceived the
nucleus,of the world to be hollow sphere,
but thought it filled, not with inhabitants,
but with an assumed s'imponderable matter,
having an enormous force of expansion"
Other scientists by degrees peopled this hol-
low sphere with plants and anlmals-two
small subterranean planets, named Pluto
and Proserpine, being supposed to shed over
this central world their dim and mysterious
light. Others supposed that the central all
was rendered self-luminous by compression
and hence the two planets were not required
A certain Captain Symmes, who lived II
the present century, was strongly convinced
of the truth Of Leslie's theory. He helt
that near the North Pole, whence the pola
light emanates, was an enormous opening
through which descent might be made Int
the hollow sphere, and sent frequent ant
pressing invitations to A. Won Humbold
/ and Sir Humphrey Davy TO undertake. tn
subteTanean expedition.

UNGRANTED.


Where do they go-the ungranted prayers,
The baffied hope, lost love, and wasted
yearning;
The sweet vain drea-as, the patient slighted
cares,
Cast on the tireless tide that has no turning?
The sleepless nights, the weary, anxious
days,
The eager JOY that blossoms but for blight
ing,
The mocking CLEANS that glitter on our ways
To vanish in one moment of delighting?
Are they stored up in some great solemn
bank,
Where Time holds for Eternity the key?
AS the rich hues that in the westward sank,
May sleep enshrined beneath the sleeping
sea?
Or do they, blended in gracious breath,
Pervade the atmosphere Of common life,
Softening the terror of the doom of death,
Lulling the fret and fever Of the strife?
Who knows, who knows Our darlings from
us glide;
Imploring clasp ana passionate prayer are
vain;
Our trust betrayed, missed aim, or. shattered
pride,
The great dumb river sweeps them to the
main.
And yet, for something every gift is given,

A NEW ENGLISH DICTIONARY.
Lexicon About Four Times as Large ~
websters. r-E


| Ne,o York Times
There Is news from England which ought
more TO interest and entertain the world than
any wranglings over the Eastern question,
shooting Of crowned heads, or the construc-
tion OF tunnels through mountains or under
seas. 1t Is more than ever probable--so
probable rs to be almost an assured fact
that this language we speak will possess In
the lifetime of most men now living die
tionary worthy Of It's literature and renown.
A quarter of century ago the English Phil
osophcal Society undertook to prepare such
. work, got well into 1t, then lost Its leader
in Herbert Coleridge, tried again to revive
the undertaking, but failed successfully to
do this until 1860, when DR.. Murray, an
editor, found himself In possessed OF nearly
two tons Of material that had been collected
before him, and the Clarendon Press, of OK
ford, had undertaken to publish the diction-
ary. The news we now have Is Of the work
that has thus far been accomplished, and Of
promises that In ten years IL will oil be fin
Ished, with the actual publication this very
year of the first part, some AGO pages, con-
tanning the letter "A" The Society began
first In 1850 to make appeals to readers
that Is, persons to read books and make quo
tations - aud several hundred volunteers
were soon enlisted for the cause. Other ap-
peals have, from time TO time, been made
since then, until these two tons of material
are the result. Late readers have supplied
DR.. Murray with more than $780, 900 slips;
from one reader alone he got Is, 900 slips and
quotations, representing more than thou
sand readers. He has built in his garden an
iron building where this material is CLASH
fed In ever q thousand pigeon-holes and
made sure of safekeeping. Americans have
aided him substantially; he finds In them 'san
ideal love for the English language as glo-
rious heritage, and pride in being intimate
with Its grand memories, such as one does
find sometimes In classical scholar In re-
gard to Greek" A slight example of how
great the value of this dictionary will be Is
seen In statement he makes that be finds
writers constantly engaged in lsborieus elu-
cidations of points "of which the full expla-
nation lies ready at hand In our pigeon-holes
waiting to be edited aud published" Should
the work be printed in uniform accordance
with the portions now ready for printing, the
dictionary would fill twelve quarto volumes
Of 1000 pages each; but many reductions
could be made In the length of the quota
tions, reducing the work to about four vol
umes, which would leave 1t about four times
the size of Webster aud about one and one
half the size of Littre. Unlike most other
dictionaries, 1t will thus be the work of
many hands, instead of the work of one, so
that from this fact, as well rs from the sd-
vancement made In scholarship, DR.. Murray
will find 1t quite unnecessary to write a pref
acc, like DIR. Johnson's, admitting that "a
few wild blunders and visible absurdities
might for time furnish folly with laughter
and harden ignorance into contempt"
