THE NEW PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The Denver Republican gives more
particulars of the organization of the new
railroad company to connect San Fran.
cisco and Denver, and its incorporation
under the Colorado laws. The prelimi.
nary line is mapped out to run from Ala
media across the bay from San Francisco
to Gilroy; thence west, crossing the ST.
erras near or through Yosemite and com.
ing out on this side near the southern
shore of Mono Lake; thence on through
the southern part Of the State Of Nevada
to point so miles below Milford, Utah
Territory, to which point branch line
will be run; thence easterly, probably
along the valley of the Grand River to
Denver. The main line is estimated al
1900 miles, and the branches at SOC
more. The Republican asserts that 49,
900, 900 of the capital stock is already
subscribed; that the road is solid with
heavy English capitalists; that it will b.
the shortest road and over the easies
grades between the Pacific and Denver
that 10 soon a. some final surveys ar
completed work will be commenced =
both ends and pressed through to com
pletion with all possible dispatch. 4
list of present stockholders is given
which includes some very heavy men
and some others that are not particul.rl
wealthy. The capital stock is fixed
$75, ,OO0, 900, or $50, 900 per mile. On il

up one after another Of the hemmed.l

out two years ago which was to cause

How the Aurora is Formed.

In recent lecture by Professor W.
Grylls Adams, recently published, the fol-
lowing theory is propounded to account for
th6 observed interrelation of earth currents,
magnetic storms, aurora and sun spots
Professor Adams assumes the sun to be a
magnet, and infers that changes in his
magnetism affect the magnetism of the
earth. Further, the sun and moon, by
dragging the atmosphere toward them as
the earth revolves, may cause that friction
between air and earth, and also that evap-
oration, which together may generate the
supply of positive electricity in the air and
negative in the earth. Again he says,
these tides in the atmosphere will cause the
mass of it to lag behind the revolving solid
earth, and at height of thirty or forty
miles we have layer of air which, for air,
is comparatively good conductor of cleo
tricity. Here, then, we have, not lag
ging of the magnet behind the conductor,
but a tagging OF the conductor behind the
magnet, and hence, according to the laws
of Faraday, we may expect current or a
gradual heaping up of electricity in the all
in the opposite direction to the earth s
course Thus, the regular tidal waves in
the atmosphere would cause the gradual
transfer fpositive electricity from the poles
toward the equator, either as current or a
mass of air stratically charged. When he
air is charged up to the dlscharging point we
may get the sudden discharges, such as the
aurora, in the air and the earth current in
the earth; and since the conducting layer
of air approaches nearer to the earth in the
colder polar regions, possibly within twen-
to miles of the earth's surface it may be
found that the discharge of the aurora may
even take place from earth to air by gradu-
al, slow discharge, aided, as it may be, by
the state of moisture of the air, and by
change of temperature and other causes
