The Next European War.

A late number of the Rssuaschau con-
tains an article on "Strategy," which
considers the probable aspects Of the
next war in Europe. The forces en-
gagged in such war would, he says, be
far greater even than those which were
brought into the field in 1870. A single
army of five corps occupies eight Eng
lish miles on the battlefield But the
entire force of great European State
now consists of four or five such armies :;
and the disasters consequent on the
collision of two or more such States
would naturally be in proportion to
their strength-especially as, thanks to
the development of the feeling of nation
ality, wars will in the future be fought
not from policy but from national hostil-
ity. Armies Will assume the character of
great popular migrations, and will be
numbered not by hundreds of thou
sands, out by millions of armed men.
This will diminish their mobility. Ger
many will not again find an open coun-
try, with excellent roads; and, however
excellent her commanders may be, she
will not have the chance again of ad-
vancing into an enemy's country with
such rapidity and success. The charac-
teristics of the wars of the future will be
q slow advance, a constant bringing up
of reserves, and defeat caused only by
complete exhaustion; flank attacks will
be made by armies instead of, az in
1870, by brigades or divisions; and the
district used as battlefield will be en-
tirely devastated The feeling of nation
ality will also make it much more diff
cult to end war than formerly. Austria
would not venture to take back Lom-
hardy and Venice, even if her victorious
armies should penetrate to Naples; and
Germany would not have been able in
1870 TO annex Burgundy and Cham
payne, although they were at her
mercy.

just as the shadow began to come on
he threw down before the dog an appe-
thing bone, but the animal would not
touch it for the space of five minutes or
more,- or until the darkness had wholly
ceased and the sun shone brightly again
When the American observers had made
their preparations in Shelbyvillc, Ky,
for the eclipse of 1869, negroes living in
the vicinity gathered around to witness
the show which they had learned was to
come off, but the nature of which thew
did not understand. Surmising it might
be something like circus, they, by a
false analogy, thought it would be well
to take positions in the branches of some
of the neighboring trees. When the APP
palling shadow came down upon the
scene, their fright was excessive, and its
effect was described as being audibly
like that of the Continuous falling of ripe
fruit from the, trees. They scampered
for the safe Enclosure of their several
homes.
In every company of men, whatever
may have been the foregoing hilaritv,
silence and a feeling akin to terror over
came the gazers as the dark shadow
comes down like a material thing NOV
ing with swiftness uncomfortable over
hill and valley from the horizon A
strange light precedes it, which is partly
of greenish tint but wholly unlike
any other. The lecturer described the
moments of suspense during which men
| of science await their opportunity as the
shadow approaches, which they know
will continue but two or three minutes
and for which they have spent days and
! perhaps months of preparation, and
which, in most cases, they have travelled
hundreds or thousands of miles to wit
| ness and record. The feeling must be
similar, he said, to that experienced bv
one who for the first time goes into bat
tie or enters upon any undertaking of
great peril. There is an extraordinary
tension of the mental faculties, which
makes cool observation almost imDOssi-
BILE, and it proves that ten or twelve
observers viewing the phenomenon from
the same point will have as many diff
ferent descriptions to give of it. Their
penciled sketches of what they saw do
not agree. The Photographic lens,
which has no nerves, does better, but it,
for reasons which the lecturer explained,
fails adequately to represent the wonder
full sight. The Boston AdcertiScr says:
The Illuminated screen was freely en-
ployed for more definite explanation by
the lecturer, who, with his Photographic
assistant, Mr.. Black, had contrived a
representation of the bursting forth of
the light of the corona from behind the
dark face of the moon, which was very
realistic and which evoked generous
applause.-Scienttfc american.

9 Eciipses Of the Sun.

- Recently Professor Langley lectured in
J, the Lowell Institute course, Boston, up
- onthe corona as seen in total eclipses
- ofthe sun. He remarked that the very
= brig fitness of the sun prevents Us from
*. seeing many things that are going on
"a near to It's, surface. All lesser lights,
which, if seen, would fascinate us with
ielt their strange beauty, are extin-
- g,isheda in It's presence. DAY
! after day the sun .shrouds from US the
80 stars, and but for its withdrawal below
:. Dir horizon we should not know of
their existence. The illumination of
and the zodiacal light in like manner
are dissipAfed by the sunlight. The
light of that outer rim of the sun, which
Is called the .cmomosphere, is in the
g same,way usually hidden from us. Nor
= can any. device of man SO screen and
. 1snkdue the light of the sun that that of
i" the ehromosphere will become visible
=, Only in the presence of total eclipse
are these phenomena, which are more
wonderful and beautiful than any other
!, of the celestial spaces, to be seen. The
= duration of visibility then is but two or
three minutes. While total eclipses of
the sun are not unfrequent, but few per-
sons comparatively, have seen one.
The.explanation is that the space over
or along which a total eclipse is visible
is not. of more than eighty or one hum
dred miles width. That which was visi-
BILE in this. country in 1878, passed di-
aoonalIy across the territory of North
America. The shadow entered in Alas
ka and passed through Texas and across
Ef6a CUT of Mexico in two or three hours
Mimic, being visible, at totality, not more
Z tfan u rec or four minutes at any point.

swiftest-moving objects with which we
are familiar, the most rapid. ! express
trains. is at q rate of about sixty mi' es

thirty miles hE as,lpinrte. The. form
which this shadow assumes in space is
tnztof an extremely elongated cone, the
base sofswhich corresponds To tina diam
eter Of the moon. : and The length to the
distance between the earth and the

somewhar different. from that which is
ordinarily ksnggested by the word

having the relative proportions OF the

this, produced is felt by all men, and is
shared BY the. more intelligent of the
lower amin ais. A scientist once tried 4
curious experiment on dog in this way
Among other preparations for the
eclipse, he confined the dog several days
beforehand, giving him nothing to eat.

Mr.. G. W. Hollingsworth, Barnegat,
n. j., tells the Poultry Yard that his
chickens, hens, ducks and turkeys
thrive ''wonderfully' on all the skinned
milk they will drink, and what is left is
made into "Dutch cheese" and fed to
them, sometimes mixed with potatoes,
beets, pumpkins, corn and barley meal.
If any one thinks he can realize a
large profit from poultry without first
dividing them in such manner as to
avoid crowding he will make a. mistake.
They will do better in small families
than in large tiocks, and the few can be
kept with greater profit even in a small
yard than the more numerous, if the
latter have the run of the whole farm

strip similar to the narrow one. The
effect is very pretty, and this is a very
good way to utilize the strip of silk left

The Director of the New York agri-
cultural experiment station says the
power in the corn kernel to regerminate
after driving enables US to plant more
shallow than is sometimes required for
the securing of permanent moisture to
the seed in the spring. While some
corn seed have the power to push up
through eight inches of heavy clay soil,
vet our results last season showed q
quicker vegetation, and, as we imagined,
a better stand from seed planted one
fourth of an inch than deeper. Hence
it seems quite reasonable that the COM
pacing of fine soil about the seed
should be. of more Importance than
merely the depth of planting,-N. Y.

An Eastern Lie.

The unboundcd West is often accused

AN AGED DECEIvER.
Inducing q Young woman TO Elope
With Him and Then DESERVING Her.

New HAVEN, May -Four days ago a
pleasant spoken, full bearded man Of about
10 years of age, who gave the name of vii.
liam Moore, engaged board with ]. w.
White, a real estate agent, with an office in
Bridgeport and a residence on q cosy
farm about two miles out Of the city. This
morning Moore induced Whites cousin
and housekeeper, Jennie White, 80 years
of age, to elope with him. They came to
this city, Moore paying the travelling ex'
penses with $50 note that the woman
gave him from her earnings. At about 9
o'clock this morning the couple entered
dry goods store here. where the woman
made some purchases. Moore got the
name of a lawyer from the proprietor OF
the store and left, saying that he would 60
and arrange for the marriage and for the
transfer of some property TO his prospective
wife. She waited in the store till P. NJ,
and then she called at police headquarters.
She said that Moore, when he first came TO
her cousins house, seemed to court her So
ciety, and he was so attractive apd smooth
spoken that he quickly gained her
affections. He told her that he came from
Newark, n. J., where he was cigar manu-.
facturer and that he had to flee to escape
arrest for illegally using cigar stamps He
left behind a large property, which he
promised to give to Miss White II she
would become his bride. lie bought a

after gaining her consent to al elopement,
and went away without paying for them.
He also left his board bill unpaid: She de-.
scribed him as a tall ne.looking man,

White said that before becoming house
keeper for her cousin she had been book
sgent. She returned 10 Bridgeport this

Preston COuHty JO'rnHI

We have always admired the Efforts Of
TIE WHEELING REGISrEE to be enterprising
and to be known as enterprjsing. And
The REGISTER is enterprising. Its edition
OF last Sunday consisted of ten pages, of
which 10000 copies were printed. A fea-
ture Of it was the splendid display of the
business interests OF Wheeling. as shown
in the advertising columns Of The SUNDAY
REGISTER. IL was an exhibition of which
any city might be proud Wheeling, by
the way, is one OF the most solid cities in
the whole country, and the volume of its
business is enormous. We wish the Nail
City and THE REGISTER the largest measure
Of prosperity. They both deserve it.
