A decrease of less than three millions in the
public debt for April is reported, against nearly
fourteen and one half millions during the cor
responding month last year. This unfavorable
showing is explained by the fact that the re-
ceipts Of the treasury have fallen off between
eight and nine millions compared with March
The falling off has been mostly in customs rev.

was immense slaughter of deer and moose in
the northern part of the State during he past
winter. The snow was so deep that when the
deer left the yards they could be easily captur-

and the greatest slaughter appears to have been
done by white yagabond hunters.

The Next European War.

A late number of the R,uadschau con-
tains an article on "Strategy," which
considers the probable aspects Of the
next war in Europe. The forces en-
gagged in such a 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 State
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, but 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 county with
such rapiuity and success. The charac
teristics of the wars of the future will be
slow advance, a constant bringing up
Of reserves, and defeat caused only by
complete exhaustion; flank attacks will
be made by armies instead of, as in
$780, 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
pagne, although they were at her
mercy. e E

just as the shadow began to come on

Just as the shadow began to come on
he threw down before the dog an appe-
tizing 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 Shelbyville, 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 they
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 tine neighboring trees. When the ap-
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 inclosure of their several
homes.
In every company of men, whatever
may have been the foregoing hilarity,
silence and feeling akin to terror over
came the gazers as the dark shadow
comes down like material thing NOV
ing with swiftness inconceivable over
hill and valley from the horizon. A
strange light precedes it, which is partly
of a 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 by
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 impossi-
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 torepresent the wonder
full sight. The Boston A1rertiser 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. .-iScienttfc american.

The Director of the New York agri-

power in the corn kernel to regerminate
after drying 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,
yet our results last season showed a
quicker vegetation, and, as we imagined,
better stand from seed planted one
fourth of an inch than deeper. Hence
it seems quite reasonable that the COM
pacting of fine soil about the seed
should be of more Importance than
merely the depth of planting, IN. y.

An Eastern Lie.

The unbounded West is often accused
by the very much bounded East of
too slight regard for accuracy in story
telling; but it is little to say of the fol-
lowing yarn from the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican that it takes the en-
tire bakery, pies and bread as well as
cake:
That "panther which has been
roaming through the wilds Of Southern
Worcester for several months, frghten-
ing the timid, soaring the bold, and.
occasionally straying over the line Into
Rhode Island, is no more. Having lain
down for a short time the other m )rn-
ing with Granger Lambs best merino
buck, in Sturbridge, and absorbed unusu-
al vigor thereby, he started out for trial
spin, and, throwing in some of those pro-
digious leaps for which he has become
so well known, found himself toward
evening in Mendon, on the opposite side
of the county. Farmer A. j. Cass's old
mare, lingering in the twilight of a
useful life and pensioner by her kind
masters bounty, furnished the most
possibilities for cheap, though tough,
repast. She was enjoying her evening
exercise within the barn-yard battle
ments; the wisdom of her years pre-
vented her accepting the alluring invi-
tation of the panther to take a walk
among the scented balsams and rough
girt hackmatacks,so so she was led out by
one ear, the aesthetic nature of her cap
tor forbidding the organization of a
banquet till within the shadows of tho
jungle. Hardly had the thicket been
reached when he laid his victim low with
one massive paw and took bite out Of
her side. That bloody mouthfuI was

ening the revenge which her indigestible

Eclipses OF the Sun.


Recently Professor Langley lectured in
the Lowell Institute course, Boston, up
on the corona as seen in total eclipses
of the sun. He remarked that the very
brightness of the sun prevents us from
seeing many things that are going on
near to its surface. All lesser lights,
which, if seen, would fascinate us with
their strange beauty, are--extin-
guished in Its presence. Day
after day the sun shrouds from us the
stars, and but for its withdrawal below
our horizon we should not know of
their existence. The illumination of
the moon and that of the aurora borealis
and the zodiacal light in like manner
are dissipated by the sunlight. The
light of that outer rim of the sun, which
is called the chromosphere, is in the
same way usually hidden from us. Nor
can any device of man so screen and
subdue the light of the sun that that of
the chromosphere 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 total eclipse is visible
is not of more than eighty or one hun
dred miles width. That which was visi-
BILE in this country in 1878, passed di-
agonally across the territory of North
America. The shadow entered in Alas
ka and passed through Texas and across
the Gulf of Mexico in two or three hours
time, being visible, at totality, not more
: than three Or four minutes at any point.
The passage over the earth of the
swiftest- moving objects with which we
are familiar, the most rapid express
trains, is at rate of about sixty mi es
an hour. This shadow moves along al
thirty miles in minute. The form
which this shadow assumes in space is
that of an extremely elongated cone, the
base of which corresponds to the diam.
eter Of the moon, and the length to the
distance between the earth and the
moon. Our conception of it must be
somewhat different from that which il
ordinarily suggested by the word
"cone." It is to be imagined rather as
having the relative proportions of the
finest cambria needle, the point of which
barely touches the earth. The vision OF
this dark shadow, as it itapproaches from
the distant horizon, is the most impos-
ing phenomenon in nature. More terror
would doubtless be inspired by an earth
quake, but the sense of awe would be
greater in an eclipse. The impre ssion
thus produced is felt by all men, and is
shared by the more intelligent Of the
lower animals. A scientist once tried q
curious experiment on dog in this way !;
Among other. preparations for the
eclipse, he confined the dog several days
beforehand, giving him aeshiag TO eat,
