AT Quito, the only city in the
world on the line of the equator, the
sun rises and sets at six O'Clock the
year round.
In melting coarse gold, blow the
fire to great heat and stir in the met
al with a stick of carbon, or the long
stem of a tobacco pipe to prevent
honey-combing. Ii steel or iron filings
get into gold while melting, throw in a
piece of saltpeter the size Of a walnut +;

the gold into the fux or sublimate of
mercury will destroy the iron or steel.
To cause gold to roll well, melt with a

AN UNFADINe INK.-Rainwater, 1
pint I; gals, bruised, L. ounces /; green
copperas, 6 drachms /; gum arabic, ten
drachms. The gals must be coarsely
powdered and put into a bottle, and
other ingredients and water added.
The bottle, securely stoppered, is placed
in the light (sun if possible) and its
contents are stirred occasionally until
the gum and copperas are dissolved,
after which it is enough to shake the
bottle daily, and in the curse of a
month or six weeks the ink will be ft
for use, { Add 40 drops of earbolic
acid to the contents of the bottle, as it
effeetually prevents the formation of
growth of mold, without any detriment
to the quality of the ink.
ENORMOUS SIZE OF SUN Spots
A single spot has measured from 10000
to 80, 0O0 miles in diameter, in which, as
wiz be readily seen, we could put our
earth for a standing point of observa-
ton. and notice how the vast facular
wave roll and leap about the spot, and
also how the metallic rain is formed
from the warmer portions of the sun.
InaJune, fS43, a solar spot remained a
week visible to the naked eye, having a
diameter of about 1900 miles and
in 1857 a cluster of spots covered an
area Of nearly 1900, 900 600 square
miles. When we call to mind that the
smallest spot which can be seen with
the most powerful telescope must have
an area of 0,000 miles, we can readily
see how large a spot must be in order to
be visible to the naked eye. Pasteroff,
in 1928, measured a spot whose umbra
had an extent four times greater than
the earth's surface. In August, 1853,
a spot was measured by Newhall, and
it had a diameter of $4,000 miles
more, as you will see, than seven times
the diameter of the earth. The largest
spot that has ever been known to as
tronomy was no less in diameter than
1853, 500 miles, so that across this you
would have placed side by side Is
worlds.

by the bold front presented by the

the chicks. In an instant the old hen
opened her cackle battery and CON-

and striking it with her bill, grabbed it
by the back and threw it in the air.
The rodent came down with a thump
upon the walk, but before it could re-
gain its feet the hen repeated the per

was only ableto crawl away a few feet

the old hen called her brood around her

SAFETY FROM LIGHTNING. Col.
Parnell, late of the Royal Engineers,
furnishes the English press with the
results of his investigation of some six
or seven hundred lightning accidents,
and gives seven rules for safety during
thunder storms. Reduced to its sim
plest terms his advice to people who are
caught out in storms in which there is
lightning, is to avoid all shelter. He
says the safest plan il TO lie down fat
on the ground till the cloud be past.
Most people under such circumstances
will continue to unscientiieally make
for indoors, however, or even for an
awning, if such shelter I've handy.

Meracladdy, County Donegal, Ireland.
He has been to America several times,
served in the American war, lived for
ONE time in Philadelphia and kept a
public house on the Canadian border.
He invested his funds in silver mine
and in Fenian bonds, and lost his
money. He returned to Ireland last
May, and frequented the company OF
Irish-Americans in Londonderry. He
carried a revolver, and was considered
a strong Nationalist, but was opposed

terestinr INQUIRIES which are sug'
gested by these words OF the Con
stitution. They were fully stated
in my first communication to Con-
gress and have since been the sub
ject Of frequent deliberations IN that
body. It Is greatly to be hoped that
these mOmentOuS questions WILL
find speedy solution lest the emer-
gency may arise when long delay
will be impossible and may furnish
cause for anxiety and ALARM.
Miscellaneous.
For the reasons fully stated in
my last annual message, 1 repeat
my recommendation that Congress
propose an amendment to that pre-
vision of the Constitution which
prescribed the fOrmalities for the
enactment of laws whereby in re-
spect to bills for the appropriation
of public money, the executive may
be enabled while giving his ap-
prevail to particular items to inter
pose his veto as to such others who
d not commend themselves to his
judgment.
The Fourteenth Amendment of
the Constitution confers the rights
of citizenship upon all persons born
or naturalized in the United States
and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof. 1t was the special purpose
OF this amendment to in
sure mem GERS of the colored race
the full enjoyment of civil
and political rights. Certain statu-
tory provisions intended to secure
the enforcement of those rights have
been recently declared unconstitu-
tional by the Supreme Court. Any
legislation whereby Congress may
lawfully supplement the g Qarantees
which the Constitution affords for
the equal enjoyment by all the citi-
zens of the United States of every
right, privilege and immunity of
citizenship will receive my unhesi-
tating approval.

onded. SUI
Keifer spoke in opposition to the

be adopted and Garrison ALLOWED
the prtn1G .facie right to the seat
and Mayo deprived of all power to
contest. This was the plan by which
the man already sworn in could he
nnseated on prim0 facie case and
forever deprived of the right of cors
fest. The House should hesitate he.
fore it undertook TO put any gentle
man in that position.

Plat was elected but Goode was given

coming 700 common in Virginia.
Mayo declared the certificate which
allowed him to be sworn was identi-
cal with that presented By his col
league (Tucker). He asked in COM
mon justice that the House deal
with his case fairly. for he would be
sorry to have 10 say that he belonged
