CURIOUS FAcTs ABOUT THE SUN.
An interesting lecture was recently
delivered by Prof. Phillips Of the
West Chester Normal School Of Penn
sylvsnia. The lecturer related many
interesting facts and said among other
things that cannon ball, which trav-
els with fearful velocity, would re-
quire nine years 10 reach the sun.
Sound, going at the rate Of one mile
in five seconds, would take fourteen
years to reach there. 1t would take
atrain Of cars one hundred and fifty
years to reach it. It would require
100000 worlds like ours to equal
it, and as it is SO large, all things on
it are heavy. The weight of any
thing is twenty-eight times as much
as it is here, so that if l were on the
sun | would about two tons, and weigh
any ofyou would weigh one ton. The
sun is not solid body like our earth,
but is great bubble Of gas surrounded
BY clouds. All that we see of it is 0
shell of clouds Of melted iron, copper,
lead aud other minerals burning inten-
sely hot. The SUMS light is 100000
times greater than that Of the moon,
and its heat II supposed to be $4,000
degrees. A column Of ice reaching

A CURIOUS NEEDLE. Among the
rare treasures in the possession of
Queen Victoria is . very curious
needle that was made at the famous
factory 10 Buckinghanshire. The
needle is q miniature model Of the
Roman column of Trsjan, bat the
scenes 1t depicts are not the military
exploits Of Roman emperors, but some
Of the leading events in the life Of
Queen Victoria herself. There is
one Of special interest, representing
the princess as young maiden at
Tunbridge Wells, where ia simple
girlish attire, with q straw hat shading
the sweet, earnest face, receiving the
water from the hands of an old woman
to ~hom she seems talking very
pleasantly. Another scene u the cor
onation at Westminster Abbey, bear
ing date of june %, 1898. In this
scene are clearly depicted ten or
twelve figures. Another scene is the
queens marriage, showing the royal
bride and the prince consort With the
date, Mondays February 10, 1s4O. If
The figures in all these scenes are
SO extremely small that they can be
scarcely seen with the naked eye, but
BY the aid Of a magnifying glass
they appear clearly cut and beauti-
fully distinct. This wonderful needle
can also be opened, and contains sew
eral others, all Of the same form aud
all adorned with miniature figures
in relief--each scene portrsying some
notable event in the life of England's

NATHAN HALE, THE SPY.

Nashaa hale, VINO was hanged by
General Howe when he was scarcely
twenty-one years old, was born in
Coventry, Conn.,, June 4, 1885. His
education was conducted with view
to the life Of a minister. He was
trained in the school to which Amer
ica owns SO much, which is willing to
push every doctrine to its ultimate
The school Of che Hnritaas, who made
America. At The time of the battle
Of Lexington, Hale was not two years
cut Of Yale college. The picked men
Of Yale and Harvard flung themselves
into the army. There are many per-
cons in. this audiences who have heard
their fathers and mothers tell Of the
spirit with which Hale taught the
Union school at New London. The
school was of thirtytwo boys, about
half Of whom were Latiners, and all
but one Of the rest were writers. In
addition 70 this, he ksptfonr yonag

habits Of the young people. His
school house was very convenient, he
writes. He was . favorite in society,
handsome, athletic, frank, wide-awake
in the great popular question which
excited society, and true to the old
creed Of every Connecticut maa--iu-
dependence in religion, and indepen-
denes in company, and Independence

farewell part at New Haven, discuss

Every star that you shall see tonight,
