different times, as well as in different
places, the atmosphere of Venus varies
in condition. And when we consider
what happens in the case of our own
earth, we need not be surprised to find
that the arc of sunlight should be COM
plete, sometimes incomplete. and some
times altogether absent. We have al
ready put an observer, in imagination,
on the surface of Venus; let us now i'm
agine the earth itself put in Venus
place at the time of the transit. If the
air ehanced to be cloudless, what we
have considered would happen-the sun
would be visible through the retroactive
power of the earth's atmosphere. round
that part of the convexity of the earth
which was outside the solar disk (viewed
as we view Venus in transit). But if
the air were cloudy over that part of
the earth's convexity, the sun would not
be seen there, and the arc of light would
be either wanting altogether or incom-
plete. For it is to be observed that the
greater part of the retroactive action of the
earth's atmosphere is exerted below the
level at which the higher clouds appear,
and a very important part below the
level even of the cumulus clouds. Evil
dence is not wanting to show precisely
what happens when our earth comes be-
tween heavenly body and the sun.
We obtain such evidence during total
lunar eclipses, in which sometimes the
disk of the moon continues to shine with
. bright-red light, really such light as
we get from the setting sun, while on
other occasions doubtless when the
earth's atmosphere is heavily laden
with clouds) the moons disk is entirely
lost to sight during total eclipse.

Smuggling on the Sault Ste, Marie and
Detroit Rivers.

ION the Sault Ste. Marie River there
are a number Of stores doing a large
business, whose smuggling is and has
been so open and defiant that il is q
matter OF public notoriety. II the Gus
tom house officers want to catch snug
glers, letthem go to the Sault Ste Marie,
Garden River Goulsis Bay, Brace Bay
and that locality up there, and they VIII
find that not one-third of the American
goods sold and consumed at these places
pass through the custom house, but are
Struggled over, and that it is done so
plainly that it is no secret. An Amer
lean official told the Canadian officials
about the smuggling not long since,
and an officer was sent 10 investigate
lie found that one store had within
eighteen months taken at least $4,000
worth without paving duty, but the
parties stood nigh in the estimation Of
the administration, and the officer, were
compelled to leave them unmO.ested.
So the officer told me Few places offer
better opportunities for the traffic than
Detroit River. 1t has always been a
harvesting place for the crooked dealers,
being peculiarly adapted by reason of
the comparative nsrrowness otthe river,
lis many hiding places, AND lis Islands
and bends. Those engaged in the
trade there are very seldom suspected.
Many a boat drops alongside vessel
when passing through the river, and
leaves with cargo OF cOntraband aril-
cles without ever being seen by the few
officers Of the law. Many thousand
gallons Of spirituous liquor are sold
yearly in the City Of the Straits and
surrounding towns that have never been
subjected TO custom house tax. Much
Of the jewelry, and many of the *
dresses that are seen Cd the streets have
passed over the stream surreptitiOusly.

Francis Salisbury built it on his share

niuaw in 1705, when it must have been

would have illumined with his weirdes st

and arbitrary temper, and so ill-used 6
slave or bound girl in his service that
she fed from the old
house, aided, it was supposed, by
her lover, a young Dutch settler. Infu-
rated by her escape, her master rode
up the mountains in search of her, dis
covering the girl at nightfall. He tied
her to the tail of his horse, and started
furiously back to Catskill. AS might be
expected, the horse dashed the girl tic
pieces on the roads; and slighta as was the
law of the land. it found means to arres,
the murderer and put him on public tri.
al. His family united political power
with great wealth,and when.the man was
brought TO trial, and justly condemned
to death, they obtained a respite of the
sentence. But herein lies the curious
part of the story. The decree of the
magistrates was that lie should be pub.
licly hung in his ninety-ninth year, and
meanwhile he was condemned to wear
about his neck a halter, that all might
know him to be a murderer doomed to
death.
From this time forth the criminal lived
in a strange and gloomy s~eclusion rarely

How tiresome is the prosperous New

For and About Women.

DR.. Holmes says one good thing for
women: ''There is no such thing as a
female punster. l never knew nor
heard of one; though l have once or
twice heard q woman make a single de-
tached pun, as l have known a hen to
crow"
The editor of the Library Journal
says that one of the needs to-day is a
series Of stories for girls Of twelve or
fourteen, telling of the wholesome, shell
tered home life of American girls who
are carefully brought up, but have at the
same time plenty of fun and frolic.
There have been attempts at such sto-
ries, but all are far from the ideal.

criticised for its slang and s%uperabun-
dant love making.
