Solar Theories.

A very interesting discussion upon
solar theories was held at the second
DAYS session of the National Academy
of Sciences, at New Haven. 1t was
based upon the reports of Prof. Holden
and DR.. Hastings upon the solar eclipse
of MAY 6 of the current year. The OBJ
servations were taken at Caroline ISL
and, and the conditions were favorable.
Prof. Holden stated the facts upon
which he rested his conviction that the
planet Vulcan, the existence of which
was Leverrier's deduction from solar
and mercurial perturbations, is myth.
But the chief interest of the session was
created by the paper of DIR. Hastings, in
which he gave the grounds for his be-
lief that the accepted theories regard
ing the suns atmosphere will have to
be abandoned, and that in fact the
whole question of the. solar elements,
constitution and action must be re-
opened. ....-,. e.. .--.
1t is of course well known to men OF
science that all the theories that have
been put forward are merely provision
al Many treatises have been written
on the sun. and some of them are per
haps written in too confident vein.
But no astronomer of any reputation or
standing has undertaken to assert that
we possess any definite knowledge on
the subject, nor has any hypothesis
been framed which is free from very
formidable objections and incongru-
tiles. DR.. Hastings sees strong
reasons for doubling the theory that
the sun is surrounded by an atmos-
iphere of incandescent gas extending to
a height of 100000 miles above the
photosphere, or possibly to double that
height, and that some mysterious self
luminous matter is distributed through
this incandescent atmosphere, together
with other mysterious matter which re-
fleets a diffusive light. He points out
that this theory requires us to believe

A Drunken Father.

The other day man who was stag
gering drunk navigated up Michigan
avenue to Third street, and there flung
himself down on the groun1 for sleep.
He had lain there about ten minutes
when boy about nine years old, his
bare feet red with cold, and his hair
showing through the crown of his old
hat, came down the street as if in
search, and soon espied the drunkard.
The lad shook him vigorously, and di-
rectlv the man sat up, secured brace
for his back, and growled out
"Whazzer want wiz me-
Its Jimmy, dad-it's little Jim,'
was the reply.
"Whozc lizzie Jimmy?'
"Whv, dad, don you know me! I'm
your own boy. Ma sent me to bring
you home Can you walk?"
Il guess 'er can," mumbled the man,
and he tried to rise up. The bov gave
him all the aid possible, but he was not
half up when he lurched over and rolled
on his back.
"Oh, dad walled the boy, breaking
down all of a sudden, You are drunk
"Ye-, I'm junk
Il can't get you home, and the po-
lice will put you in Jail! Oh, dad! what
made you!'
"Vhaz maze me?" sleepily answered
the man.

he bent over him, "liSle Katie's awful

"Zhas so? Well, | can't help zhas"
Cant you 20 home?o
"No. You shtay here while go 'er
sleep"
"Oh, l can't-I can't! Everybody
knows you're drunk, and everybody
will hoot at me-
WHAT exclaimed the man, as he
raised on his elbow.
"The boys are hooting at me now,
and the men across the road are laugh
ing! Oh! dad. it 5 awful to git drunk!
It's awful when you are ashamed to
look any one in the face"
The boy leaned against the wall and
hid his face and cried. The drunkard
rubbed his eyes, braced to a sitting po-
sition, and by careful management
reached his feet.

BROOKIIAVEN, MISSISSIPPI, DECEMBER

was not Hong in finding him. As it
happened, he was behind huge rock
when the avalanche fell so that he had
been partially screened from its force,
| and, though covered under several feet
of snow, he had not been suflocatcd nor
frozen to death. The dog dug eagerly
! with those strong forelcgs of his, and
soon had made his way into the doing
Englishman's recess. As soon as he
reached him he barkcd vigorously and
commenced licking the snow from the
mans face. His tongue and hot
breath revived the Englishman, who re-
gained consciousness only to suppose
that he was attacked by a wolf. twas
not poor Barry's fault that he was
| shaggy and uncouth, but men do not
stop to reason in such circumstances
He carried pistols-all these travellers
do-and in u trice he had drawn one
and shot the brave dog whom he had
mistaken for an enemy, but who was
only trying to rescue him from death.
THE shot was heard by the monks,
who fastened to the spot and found the
Englishman struggling out of the drifts
The dog was lying at the edge of the
| pit, which he had dug with perhaps
hours of toll. He was not quite dead,
and he lived long enough to lick the
hand of the father who had watched
over him all his life, and who cried like
child at his death.
I'D" 1t was the creed of these holy men
to return good for evil, and they would
have cared for the man even if he had
not slain his preseryer through cruel
mistake They took him to the mon
astery, and gave him food and drink
until he was able to leave them, with
many blessings and heavy, purse OF
gold. But they never could feel to him
quite as they would if he had not slain
the noble animal which they all so
priced. He regretted it deeply, of
course, but that couldn't help the mat
ter, and the reverend fathers were not
sorry when lie left. His name was
Clinton, they say, and he was Baro-
net in his own country, where it was a
pity he had not stayed. Barry was
taken to the monastery, where his skin
/ was stuffed, and some wears afterward
this was removed to the museum in
Bernc, where it is kept to this day.
Gle was the last of the pure st.
behind him, and by careful crossing
with Newfound,ands II new race WAS
produced almost exactly like the old,
only larger. A friend of mine in Berne
named Schumache has some superb an
imals of this kind, and last year when
he look one of them to the museum and
compared it to Barry he. found that
they were different only in size, their
color and markings being the same.
There are many of these in the Alpine
monasterics now, but although brave
and intelligent the opening of the roads
has made them less and less needed
for the service which made their an
ccstors so distinguished. There never
has been another one like Barry, and
there never will be. '-LOuiSriHe Courier
