Unless young man that just suits me

Taller than by at least half head
He surely must be, with face bri Sht and
kind:
His eyes I'd prefer of violet blue,
His hair a light brown or Il very warm gold
He must sing-a fine tenor-and dance nicely,
too,
And tell as good stories as ever were tod.
NO smoking allowed, for the weed detest,
And of course no remarks that are rude or
ill-bred:
And I'd like him to always be stylishly
dressed,
The young man 1 marry" she said-she said.
And then the maid married-she did she did
A threescore old fellow much shorter than
she,
Who wore black wig that but awkwarily hid
A pate that no balder could possibly be.
And his voice was a crcak, and he danced
like a bear,
And his nose it was red, and dull gray were
his eyes,
And he'd sit by the hour and stupidity stare,
And he never said anything witty or wise.
And he smoked a clay pipe, and from morn
ing till night
In his mouth held of strongest tobacco
quid;
And he dressed But enough he had two
millions quite.
And she married him gadly-she did-she

gained consciousness only to suppose
that he was attacked by wolf. 1t was
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 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.
1.-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
a child at his death.
lit 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 preserver 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

priced. He regretted it deeply, OF

sorry when he left. His name wa.
Clinton, they say, and he was a 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 years afterward
this was removed to the museum in
Berne, where it is kept to this day.
'.He was the last of the pure St.
Bernards, but he left his descendants
behind him. and by careful crossing
with Newfound! ands new race was
produced almost exactly like the old,
only larger. A friend of mine in Berne
named Schlmache has some superb an
imals of this kind. and last year when
he took 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
monasteries 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

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 DIR. 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 sun s atmosphere will have to
be abandoned, and that in fact the
whole question of the solar elements.
constitution and action must be re-
opened.
1t is of course we'll 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. DIR. Hastings sees strong
reasons for doubling the theory that
Che sun is surrounded by an atmos-
phere of incandescent gas extending to
d height of 100000 miles above the
philosophers. 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 diffusive light. He points out
chat this theory requires us to believe
that an atmosphere from 100000 to
1000, 900 miles deep receives no pres
sure. or practically no pressure, since
the spectrum shows that the gaseous
pressure at the limit of the chrome
sphere is scarcely perceptible. But he
holds that the conetary evidence against
the theory OF gaseous atmosphere is
still stronger. Bodies approaching our
earth with fourteen times its velocity,
encounter such pressure at distance
Of ninety miles from its surface-that
is to say, at twice the assumed height
Of our atmosphere-as to become incan-
descent Instantly. Bat says DR..
Hastings, ''there IS the direct evidence
that far within the limits of the corona
thedens!ty must ha almost infinitely
less than tast OF ear atmosphere st even
dsty milo above the casth's sustsee.

A L UNIVERSAL Language.

When the electric telegraph was first
proposed to the Government it was re-
jected for the ..exhaustive' reason that
it would not be wanted in time of peace.
while the semaphore did all that was
required in time of war. Since then,
however, the electric telegraph has
itself been found insufficient. In time
OF war the electric telegraph is supple
mented by fire-signals, lamp-signals,
and by very elaborate system OF flag
signaling; and the want seems to be felt,
since expression has been given to it in
many quarters, of an international or
interlinguistic code of signs for for
eigners unable to communicate with one
another by word of mouth. In an in
teresting cOntr button to the National
ReUieU on the wild tribes of the Sierras,
Miss Gordon Cummings tells us-first
that every tribe has a language of its
own, known only to its members; and

Chicago last Saturday night with the
intention of calling on his sweetheart on

at home for supper he packed his valise
and. for convenience sake, left it at
Soper's during the evening. This was
a golden opportunity for the rest of the
jokcrs, and they embraced it.

For the great comet of the last year
passed at a distance of 100000 miles of
the sun, and therefore deep within the
assumed cOronal atmosphere. This
comet traversed the intercoronal space
for several millions of miles with We
locity 1870 times that of the earth, not
only without being stopped and precipi-
tated upon the surface of the sun. but
even without having been checked in
the least
This certainly is a formidable, if not
an absolutely fatal, objection to the.the-
DRY adopted by Prof. Young and many
others, and it is by no means the only
objection advanced by DIR. Hastings
Thus he points out that the line l,474
X in the spectrum does not behave at
all consistently, or in accordance with
the current hypothesis. Sometimes it
is very bright and apparent. At other
times it is almost wanting. In short,
says DIR. Hastings, '.if the line demon
strates the existence of an atmosphere,
it demonstrates also inconceivable
changes in it." The doctor concluded
his paper with an attempted explana-
ton of solar action based upon the diff
fusion of light. Prof. Young spoke in
answer to him subsequently, and frank
ly said that che had always thought
that the accepted hypothesis was far
from perfect He added, however,
that 1.-The atmosphere Of the sun was
not an atmosphere in the same sense in
which one speaks of the earth's at
mosphere."
This is rather painfully suggestive Of
the shifts to which some theologians
have been driven in attempting to &C.
count for the problem of evil, and
which shifts Mill has so forcibly ex-
posed in his essays on religion. If the
suns atmosphere is not what we I'M
derstand by our atmosphere, then the
scientific use of that term in explana-
ton of solar phenomena is merely
shift TO conceal scientific ignorance.
And, indeed, it is plain enough that
science has not yet d scovered anything
definite about the sun, all theories to the
contrary notwithstanding. 1t is impos-
sible to demonstrat ethe incandescence
OF the actual solar body or of its en-
velope or envelopes. 1t is impos-
sible to explain solar action in accord
ance with what is known of natural
law. The center of our system is to-
day as profound a mystery to us as it
was to the Chaldeans and Akkadians,
and the Asiatic hypothesis of subtle
cosmic force called Akasa, OF which the
sun is the storehouse and center, is not
more undemonstrable than the hvpoth-
eses which our astronomers and physi-
cists amuse themselves and perplex the
lay public by putting forward.-N. Y.
