The Wonders Of the Sun.

The course Of Saturday night scien'
tific lectures at the rooms of the Bos'
ton Young Mems Christian Union,
on Doylston street, are manifestly in
cyyeasinr in popularity. The lecture,
by Prof. F. Mc1ntire, of Boston, on
"The Wonders of the Sun, Moon, and
Stars was attended by very large
audience. The lecture was brilliant
" illustrated by the use Of the stsreoP-
tlcon. The lecturer began by refer:

ton to see anything wonderful IN
that which is common and always BE-

The fact is that almost everything
can bs said about it. The speaker
hr,t endeayorsd to impress the an;
dience with the size OF the sun, using
comparisons quite new to most OF
his hearers. He said that 1905, 600
worlds, the size Of our own, might be
packed within the circumference 9 OF
the sun. The planets Of $50 solar

Forty years ago it cost six cents to
carry a letter from New York 70
Brooklyn: ten cents to send it to New
burgh; twelve and half to Catskill:
eighteen and thres-fourths to Sarato-
ga; twenty five to Cincinnati. A bold
stop taken by congress in 1851, de-
clared that a single letter should be
carried anywhere in the country
within 5000 miles for three cents

postage to five cents for a distance of
800 miles or less, and to ten cents
above that distance. The cry for
.two-eent postage il now universal,
and congress has listened to it; but
tho change from three cents to two
is not 80 great as former changes and
within fivo years from this time there
will probably be a general demand
for one-cent postage. 49, --,-'

The Noorhead ChurchmAn has the

an exchange: s.-ss 49, >s.-.=>'.. p, =:
s.The great cry with everybody is
Got on! got on! just as if the world
were 4 travelling post. How aston
ished people will be when they arrive
in heaven to find the angels, who are
50 much wiser. laying no schemes to
become archangels."
The person who wrote such trash
will be the most astonished individ-
ual of all at tho day of judgment
when he finds he ''can't got in again,
for he must have been there to have
known what angels are doing. It
certainly does not help religion by
printing such *'bosh." What is life
without ambition! Ny motto is,
Get on! get up! push ahead! Don't

When tho stereopticoh came into

Of the corona and philosophers were
presented. The hydrogen pro:uber.

bnt 3-4 less than that of the sun.
An English scientist tried an expert

the result was only al absolutely
