The Land,n, Times describes u recent
trial of new musical instrument invented
by Mr. Baile Hamilton. which resembles
in shape in the means OF producing sound
the harmonium or cabinet organ There
is, however, one important difference, Mr..
Hamilton employs what is technically
known as free reeds, but instead OF act.
ing upon them singly, he divides them in
to groups of three connected by bridge,
which so modifes their individual sound
as to emit u single note of great sonorous
beauty and power. TO each group of
reeds belongs a sounding box or cavity
through which the air passes much as the
breath in singing passes through the
throat, the intention being to produce a
quality OF tone resembling the human
voice, In this attempt Mr.. Hamilton has
been remarkably successful by means en-
tirely different from those employed in
the "vox humana" stops of ordinary or
gans The timbre of the new invention
varies somewhat between the voice and the
softer wind instruments, such az French
horn, clarinet etc, partaking OF the quail
ties of both, the beauty of the sustained
notes being, indeed, remarkable. The
chief defect of the instrument is It's slow
ness of speech which makes the execution
Of rapid passages q matter OF extreme dil.

HOW COMETS AFFECT THE EARTH.

1t is reassuring to learn from Professor
Lewis Boss prize essay on comets, Just
published that no serious results are ever
likely to happen to our little planet from
the visits to the solar system Of those celes-
tial vagrants. The influence of comets
upon the earth, he says, is in all proba-
bility quite Insignificant. They may, like
the sun, affect the earth's magnetic condi-
tion, and thus to some extent, possibly, its
meteorology. No such effect has ever been
perceived. In spite of some chance coinci-
dences between the apparitions of great
comets and remarkable public events, no
well-informed person now believes that
there is any real connection between them.
By liberal and credulous Interpretation of
any frequently occurring celestial phe-
nomenon, similar condolences could be
shown. When comet is converted into
meteoric bodies, which impinge upon the
earth's atmosphere, there is some direct
though probably minute effect. Some have
thought that a sensible portion of the heat
which the earth receives is generated in
this way but the weight Of scientific
opinion seems to be against that hypothe-
Sis. The impact of meteors upon our at
mosphere must add some matter to it, and
this is probably in the form of dust. This
may be the origin of the socalled cosmic
dust, which has been collected at sea in re-
cent times. The finer particles of it may
have some influence on cloud formations
and other meteorological phenomena but
all this is merely conjecture. A more re-
mote effect may be sought in the possible
fall of meteors and comets upon the sur
face of the sun. Owing to his vast bulk,
the sun would attract an immense number
of these bodies; but it is quite certain
that their effect upon the suns heat is in
significant. 1t is now generally admit
ted that we must look for the origin of
the suns heat in a constant, though to
us imperceptible, shrinkage of his vast
bulk. Some connection between the fire.
quency of sun. spots and comets has been
rather vaguely suspected. Were the
search for comets systematically pursued
with equal persistence for long period,
we might have some data for the formation
of sound opinion. Yet it would still be
an open question, whether the comets cause
the spots, or whether greater activity of
the sun tends in some way to render comets
brighter, 30 that more will be visible
with probability in favor of the latter
supposition. Finally, it may be said, with
all due respect to scientific decoruu,, that
the appearance of great comet does exert
one most happy influence ON the earth, in
that it stimulates the curiosity of mankind,
and directs their thoughts to the more par
ticular contemplation of the glorious uni
verse which surrounds them.

Jus1pERo sgRRns GRAVE DISCOVERED.

Quite a ripple of excitement was caused
on our streets last Tuesday when it was
reported that the long. lost and much
sought-for grave of Father Junipero Sierra,
the illustrious founder of this city and the
San Carlos Mission, had been found in the
latter place. For the following particulars
we are indebted to Rev. Father Casanova,
parish priest of this place, who has always
taken deep interest in this matter Some
time since Father Casanova ordered work.
men to clear away the rubbish, which was
from two to three feet deep, from the floor
of the church, SO that strict search could
be made for the graves of the priests and
other dignitaries buried within the walls of
the Old Mission, and especially that of
Junipero Sierra. Believing that the grave
of Sierra was situated in the sanctuary, from
document in the possession of Father
Casanova, which locates the spot, the work.
men commenced operations as near as it was
possible to tell, right over Serra's grave.
After digging down about three feet
through accumulated dirt and rubbish, the
pick in the hands of the workman struck
a board, and Immediately snrmising that
this was what he sought, he went to work
carefully and uncovered several redwood

stones, which evidently covered a grave.
tomb, which was covered with stone slabs,
and over the slabs were the boards struck
by the workman while digging. One of
the stone slabs at the foot of the grave
was broken, and the weight of the dirt
and rubbish above had forced the board
covering the slab to give way, filling the
II Il
portion, CT head of the coffin, and contents,
were in a splendid state of preservation
the fact that they had been
there for upwards of century. Father
Casanova says he is fully convinced
that it is the grave of Junipero
Sierra, as its location comedies ex-
actly with the document mentioned. A
examination and disinterment of
the remains was not attempted at the
time of the discovery, as Mr.. Casanova in
tends to go on with the work and to have
the entire floor of the Mission cleared of
dirt, when the other graves will be opened
and the names of each silent sleeper ascer-
tanned. When this is accomplished, notice
will be given, and the public will be ad.
mitted to view the remains of the immortal
Junipero Sierra. It was reported at the
time of his death, and believed by many to
this day, that the remains of the eminent
Father were taken to Spain and there bur-
led. But Mr.. Casanova disputes this, and
has many reasons for his belief that Juni-
pero Sierra was buried in the sanctuary of
the Mission his own energy and perse-
verance had caused to be built. The re-
port that his body had been sent to Spain
was circulated at the time, to deceive the
Indians, who desired his body, and who
would have taken it by force had they be-
lieved it was buried in the Mission.
